You can't say gun violence make a comeback because it never really left. Incidents over the weekend, the latest a shooting at Communipaw and Grand, brings no commentary from our city leader(s). Nothing on Twitter, nothing on Facebook, just kind of a hoping it will go away or you won't notice kind of mode at City Hall today. From the Jersey Journal:
Last night's shooting was the most recent in a string of street violence.
On Saturday night, two teens were shot in the area of Forrest Avenue and Martin Luther King Drive. One of the victims remained in critical condition as of last night and a 15-year-old Claremont Avenue resident was charged with the shooting.
Last Friday, 21-year-old Donald Marquis Gadson was shot several times and killed on Dales Avenue. His funeral is being held today, a block away from where last night's shooting occurred.
Gun violence rears it's ugly head while Jersey city leaders hide theirs in the sand. How fitting. But, as we all know, unless it's a new building opening or a a physical fitness challenge on Liberty State Park we're not going to hear from the mayor on this until challenged.

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny. You haven't changed a bit. If it wasn't guns, it would be rocks, knives or some other object capable of inflicting harm on the human body.
It's not the politician's fault. I hope you don't have in mind for Jersey City the same plan has they have in Chicago... you know how well that works.
Put your head phones on, stay low while driving, and let the heard thin itself.
And remember - an armed citizen is a prepared citizen.
I'm still alive in Ypsi and so far, it has worked for me. I actually spent the last 5-6 years working in the bad-lands of Detroit. It will even give Jersey a run for its money.
Peace!
Hey glimmertwinfan! Good to see you! Nah, I'll never change on this one and as for JC I'd like them to admit to, and what the plan going forward is to attack this violence.
Glad to hear you are well, Best!
