We'll know much much more about where the New Jersey Giants and New Jersey Jets are headed as December plays out by tomorrow evening.

Nice to see Mayor Kwame Healy at the D.E.E.N. Christmas party last night

After a long coooooold walk through Jersey City last night sniffing out stories, Johnny stopped at the Warehouse for a cup of joe to go and at 140 Bay St. there is a little boutique called d.e.e.n. and they were having themselves a whale of a holiday bash. Johnny looks in the window at the crowd and who does he see, Kwame Healy (and until he's finally brought to justice for his filthy political money games we'll be calling him Kwame after former disgraced Detroit Mayor Kwame Kiklpatrick who thought he could do anything either legal or illegal and simply get away with it because he was a big city mayor) wandering around giving the glad hand to shoppers.

We're also guessing that big police looking SUV that was DOUBLE PARKED out on Bay St. was Da mayor's. The Jersey City Desk is watching you mayor, we've got lots of email contributors who tell us what upu're up to at any given time...

Johnny loves movie night. Tonight is a back to back to back triple feature starting with Gladiator, then Run Lola Run and he's just getting to V for Vendetta. Now THAT is a good night of flicks.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE ROLLING STONES!

It's British invasion night here at the Jersey City Desk and who better to start than with THE standardbearers for bluesy rock and roll? This song was voted the #1
rock and roll song of all time by the VH1 rundown of the greatest songs in music history. No surprise there. Is there a better rock song with more rock and roll spirit and feeling? Notice how Charlie Watts is almost considered awake for this song. Keef woke up in a haze in the middle of the night, had a tape recorder next to the bed as he always did, and laid out most of this song. He then fell back asleep. He said the other 45 minutes on the tape was him snoring.

The Rolling Stones with 'Satisfaction'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE BEATLES!

British invasion night at the Jersey City Desk continues with the lads from Liverpool. Johnny was just reading that the screaming girls who met the Beatles as they got off the plane and later at the Ed Sullivan show were, shall we say compensated for their screams.

The Beatles with 'Hello Goodbye'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE ANIMALS!

Now did you know the Animals used to go by another name entirely but their stage performances caused their fans the hang that name on them and it stuck. Bonus points if you can tell us their original name.

The Animals with 'It's My Life'

As a Browns fan, it doesn't get much better than tonight. Yes, the Browns haven't had a very good season but when you can end the Super Bowl Champions Pittsburgh Stoolers season on a frigid night along Lake Erie, that's a great night. Oh, and for ANY Stooler fans who want to run their mouths about their 6 Super Bowl titles, The Cleveland Browns have 8 NFL titles so put that in your pipe and smoke it.


Tonight was worth giving up the overall #1 draft pick. Vengeance always is.

So now 9 month old babies are stabbing victims in robberies here in Jersey City

In perhaps one of the most heinous acts we've ever reported on, the 9 month old son of murder victim Jacqueline Reyes, who was stabbed to death for some money (for some money---simply money and a 9 month old is almost stabbed to death---where the f*ck are our priorities anymore?) in her condominium at 100 Montgomery in Paulus Hook. Police are reviewing building video footage to look for a person of interest or as we used to call them a suspect in the murder. The stabbing took place sometime between 8:00 am and 9:30 am on Tuesday (and Johnny saw all the police vehicles outside as he was out for a walk to pick up a Christmas parcel his mom sent that had to be signed for at the Post Office on Montgomery). Johnny saw nothing of any kind of suspicious thinking back long and hard but SOMEBODY out there knows something. Somebody knows the jagoff who did this. If you have ANY information, or ANY kind of tip simply email us here and we will pass the info to the Jersey City police. This worked once for us in a robbery case when Johnny and crew ran the old Ypsi City Desk. We got tips, the tips were passed along and a predator was taken off the streets. Please, email us here at johnnyactionspacepunk@gmail.com with info or the Hudson County Prosecutors’ Office’s Homicide Squad at (201) 915-1345.

People, to an animal like this it's just a matter of time before he needs more money. If he'll murder a kind loving mother and stab her baby son, he'll do the same to you.

Late night open thread

Here's a late night thread with nothin' to do about nothin' but feeding Johnny's ego. Johnny as some of you may know investigates cold cases and does pro bono work to help solve some. For years he studied the BTK serial killer crimes in Wichita Kansas. In BTK's first murder, that of the Otero family he stole a 9 year old boy victim's radio. BTK sid he didn't know why, he just took it. Well Johnny had long said using the age BTK would have been during the Clutter murders in Holcomb Kansas (the basis of Truman Capote's book 'In Cold Blood'), one of those killers stole the young son's radio and the entire Clutter story would have had a huge impact on BTK's psychie and reasoning behind his serial killing ways. Johnny is reading an amazing book on BTK by FBI profiler John Douglas who in interviewing Dennis Rader, BTK, that indeed the Clutter murders DID make a huge impact on him and he was fascinated by every aspect of the killings all those years earlier and hence, he took the boy's radio.

Near as Johnny can tell he was the only one to make this connection.

Like he said, nothing about nothing but if you have a cold case you want some help with, email him, maybe he can help.He's rather detail oriented with a photographic memory.

First Priority Payroll CEO Jerry Carter is in one heck of a pickle

Police claim the CEO of the First Priority Payroll company was cuffed and charged with kidnapping, and intimidating and harassing a 45 year old employee of his. The charges and explanations are rather shocking. One is that he kept said employee locked in an Adams street apartment and working for 24 hours at a time for no pay. He supposedly told her the place was filled with cameras and he'd know if she wasn't doing as she was told. Police also claim Carter made his victim sit in a bathtub for hours at a a time. The police also told the media that Carter would make his victim send hundreds of cell phone pictures to make sure she was doing as she was told or he'd kill her.

For his part, Carter, through his attorney says he's innocent. We'll see about that but until this entire disgraceful mess is sorted out maybe your best business decision might be to steer clear of First Priority Payroll lest the stink rub off on your companies good name.
