I don't know where you have been hiding but do a google search of West orange bloods gang shooting or killing and scroll down to the articles. They were fighting back and forth with Jersey City bloods and than someone of the gang killed people in WEST Orange and went to Pennsy and killed four other ones. It's been going on for a while but the town doesn't want to tell anyone. It's not good for real estate values.

It's a whole new ballgame here. There is extensive renovation going on and new restaurants. In 2 years you'll wish you hadn't sold your places and/or moved. I love it here!

I'm viewing all of your posts and are sad how many of you people who think Newark, Irivington, Passaic, Jersey City, Camden, Patterson are the worst places, maybe so. I moved here to New Jersey in 03 from Oklahoma City Ok, and have traveled to the worst and most dangerous place unknown and these place will blow your minds, I have been to New Orleans which is the most "Disqusting City" I have ever visited, St. Louis Mo is the most Dangerous City in the Nation, Detroit is very Disgusting and dangerous, Chicago is very messed up as well, I drive thru Newark everyday to work coming from Scotch Plains and when I sometimes read the Star Ledger it amazes me of the murders in the areas such as Newark, Irvington these murders are usually when someone have some beef with, I have been to places where people were murdered and drive by's were common, the Gang situations here in New Jersey are weak compared to LA, Chicago, Detroit (Pony Down Orginazation), St. Louis. Some of you people should visit these places and determine from your own minds which is worst because there are some places that would make you appreciate living here in New Jersey....

We're too busy chasing Usama bin Laden in Iraq. After all, Iraq was MUCH more of a threat to our nation than Al-Qaeda, according to President Bush! (Snicker, snicker). Why utilize our troops to defend our own nation when we can just send them into nations that had no credible threats lodged against us in order to lure the South into a false sense of security?

How does the Iraq War tie into the worst cities in New Jersey? The last time I checked US soldiers weren't used as policemen to stop gang activity. That is left up to the individual city's government and police force. The police can only do so much with the man power they have. I am sure that President Bush will be delighted to know that he is now the cause of gang warfare. Something else to blame him for.

I can't get them to talk a walk with me in Jersey City--not even a supposed cop. I seriously doubt that they'd visit places like Detroit, New Orleans, etc. . . . I have to wonder if they even visit New York City very often.

YOU KNOW WHAT...EVERYWHERE YOU GO YOU GET THE GOOD AND THE BAD...BUT I'D RATHER TAKE A LATE NIGHT WALK IN NEW BRUNSWICK RATHER THAN NEWARK ANY DAY
