Glen Rock NJ, the Glen Rock Police are investigating two suspicious incidents reported at local houses of worship in recent weeks . Glen Rock Police Chief Dean Ackermann commented to the press, “The most recent incident occurred on Dec. 24, when a man in his 60s walked into Good Shepherd Lutheran Church just before 1 p.m. and “began to inquire about the church in a manner which became concerning” to the office manager, ”
Chief Ackerman told the press “The man “began to question as to whether the church permitted ‘gays’ to be part of the church and made several anti-gay comments,” the chief said. “Upon leaving the subject left a box full of religious pamphlets near the front door.”
Glen Rock detectives are investigating the incident to determine if the man is the same person who entered the Sikh Temple on Dec. 21 just before 11 p.m. and behaved unusually, Ackermann said.
“While he did not make any overt threats, the man wandered around the interior of the temple repeatedly stating that they were doing a great job and making a ‘thumbs up’ gesture,” according to a police blotter provided by the department. “The man, who was described only as a white male, departed the area in a white Chevy SUV with ‘Jesus Christ is King’ and other words in Spanish on the windows and bumper stickers, as well as an American flag.”
A similar description was given of the incident at the Sikh Temple about a week ago. ( https://theridgewoodblog.net/trespasser-at-sikh-temple-on-prospect-street/ )
While descriptions of the events are inconclusive the potential seriousness can not be over looked , the description of both the event and the perpetrator has a cartoonist ” Jussie Smollett ” feel.
Anyone with further information on either incident should contact Glen Rock Police at 201-652-3800.
Isn’t it amazing weird shit going on at all different kind of religion sites. That’s why I feel that they should have retired police at these locations well worth it. They are trained and they are license to carry a weapon.
I’m not a cop and I’m thoroughly trained.

And New Jersey will not grant me a concealed carry permit
So I can protect myself and my family while I’m in church.
I don’t need to pay someone to protect me. I’m fully capable as a husband and father of protecting my own.
The people intent on killing you and me know full well we are unarmed and sitting ducks because of the current laws on the books. The recent shooting at the church in Texas is a classic example of good guys stopping bad guys DEAD in their tracks. Remember…these people are out there and they want to KILL YOU. Shoot you down in church or the movie theatre or the mall with your family. What are you going to do about it? Continue to let the state illegally deny you your second amendment rights and defend yourself and your family? Do you think the current governor or AG with their ARMED state police escorts give a crap about you and me? I assure you they do not. Time for the law abiding citizens of NJ to stand up to the failed policies that Denys us our rights.
