How Stupid Are They?

Interesting. I always thought if a discussion went on long enough that the participants there would succeed in writing the complete works of Shakespeare....

I thought that was monkeys.
Oh, wait. I think you are right.

Sure, and there was some redundancy involved in that, don't you know.....and if you go back far enough everyone is related to Charlemagne, too.

Dammit Rex, now I gotta agree with you. My world just turned upside down.

Oh, sit down, have a drink, smoke a stogie. It'll go away

Over the weekend New Jersey had this all night Art Festival. Apparently the Art Connoisseur's in New Jersey do their shopping at 2 and 3am in the morning. So three dudes who I guess didn't like the selection walked in and started shooting people.

"The suspect, identified as Tahaji Wells, 33, opened fire before 3 a.m. at the Art All Night festival in New Jersey's capital city, in what appears to have been a gang-related dispute. Wells was reportedly killed by police, and 17 of the 22 people injured reportedly suffered gunshot wounds.

Wells had been released from prison in February, despite receiving an 18-year state prison sentence in 2004 on an aggravated manslaughter conviction in the shooting death of a 22-year-old man, NJ.com reported.

And in 2010, while still in prison, Wells was sentenced to six additional years after pleading guilty to a second-degree racketeering charge. He reportedly helped a gang leader run the group from inside prison.

So despite two lengthy sentences that should have left Wells serving time behind bars into the 2020s, he was back on the streets and able to get another gun and commit Sunday's crime.

Gov. Phil Murphy decried the sentencing and incarceration of people throughout his campaign and time in office as part of his criminal justice reform agenda, which includes a review of sentencing laws in the state.

Gov. Phil Murphy signed six stringent gun laws last week, So what is is answer to this. More gun control laws and the continued release of violent criminals

GOOD LUCK NEW JERSEY

So what is is answer to this.

Just expel NJ and replace it. Nothing you wrote is new to NJ and certainly not a recent development due to whatever party sits in the Gov's seat there. Camden and Trenton have been holes for over 30 years and no one from either party has made a difference in either. I think that in the one city that the police simply gave up and left for a while. Both made a good argument for building a prison wall around each, turning out the lights, and waiting for it to get real quiet.

Kind of like the movie brick mansions where they walled off the bad parts of the city...

Hey Murph, you better stay out of those cities. You will be a lot safer out in the woods with the BEARS.

Camden dropped the police dept. for awhile. If i remember right it was a payroll issue. Note enough city taxes to cover it. So they dropped the dept hoping that the state police would patrol it. NJ's state police said "fu" we wont go in there. After 6-8 months of no police patrolling. Camden formed a new dept. Now you have 24 year old kids wet behind the ears patrolling Camden. Those kids are shaking in their boots.

don't go bashing the Great Garden State. our people are our strength. our legislators our bane.

the voters of NJ have spoken and they wanted Mr. Smiley for governor. With the exceptions of Messrs McGreevey and Corzine, I cannot think of a less qualified person to sit in the big chair. pander to all the interests and promise every possible thing, with no god damn way to pay for it, except raise taxes, or raid money earmarked for other uses.

New Jersey's answer to economic growth is either more lotteries, more gambling, or more taxes. there has been NO plan to reduce the draconian regulations already in effect, or to figure a business-like way to attract enterprise. Mr. Smiley wants business to pay more. Meanwhile I watch TV spots from the NY dept of economic development espouse all they'll do to get you to locate or expand your business in NY.

forget Camden, blow up the statehouse.

This one is FUNNY. Actress Amber Heard posted a tweet.

"Just heard there’s an ICE checkpoint in hollywood, a few blocks from where I live. Everyone better give their housekeepers, nannies and landscapers a ride home tonight..."

What would the Hollywood elite do without their cheap labor illegal housekeepers, nannies and landscapers...

Amber Heard Warns Nannies, Housekeepers & Gardeners Watch Out for ICE Checkpoint!!!

As one of her fans responded. "I would expect you to have a little more sense than this, but... you did date Johnny Depp."

It's not just the Hollywood elite....it's the so-called elite everywhere - those 1% folks. Like, your Congressman.

It's also just about every construction related job across the country............deport them all and next ime you need a new roof you'll be on your own.

Rufus,
One of those things we don't like to admit and don't want to talk about the problem.

Not really. When we have one of those major hail storms there are companies that flock in here all over the country. They go through the neighbor hoods knocking on doors. The same with the outfits that remove dents from cars and trucks. They set up all over town. They know the insurance companies pay off..

I chose to go with an area company and related what he said. The house across the street had all white boys redo that roof and I saw many more around town that the crews were all white. Every house in my area got a new roof. The area to the west of me has several chicken processing plant and that area does have an illegal population. But it is getting less and less as these companies have been raided many times. Tyson is one of them.

About seven year ago when my grandson graduated from high school he got a job the next day for the summer. They had just been raided and lost half the workforce. When he left before the end of summer he was making $13 dollars per hour and he worked a lot of overtime. A lot better than he made the previous summer working for the Sonic Drive-in part time at $7 dollars per hour.

Really. Not around here. They show up around here and are thieves; pure and simple flim-flam operations.

I chose to go with an area company................

So did I last time - one of the best locally with high ratings & reviews that I have used before; crew spoke no English and I had to supervise and make corrections - failed to follow the contract and the company had to eat a lot of $'s making it all right. Company inspector came out and they have to spend another full day with a full crew making everything right. Never did finish all of the job. Then they asked me to post my review of their work......I got a phone call for the owner apologizing.... and they still never did finish all of the job..... Neighbors ask me about them and I tell them to run away screaming like a little girl.

Tree trimming crew doing the neighbor trees -- 2 of 7 spoke English.

US citizens won't do these jobs, but they sure do like to complain that illegal immigrants are taking their jobs away.......
