“It is their goal to overwhelm the police and the community with tiring endless protests to wear them down and make them lose patience. Once someone gets a little mistreated by a nervous police staff or a frustrated town resident all hell about defunding the police will break lose. I wouldn’t be surprised if the sick minds behind these gatherings would like to turn us into Portland. Anything can be expected from these psychos. In the process crime benefits.
Is there a rule about how many protests someone can organize within a period of time? What happens if they ask for a protest every day? Do they need a permit to organize meetings and marches?”

Benefits of Hiring a Designer for Your Home Makeover

The Van Buskirk home2

Our homes are where we spend a good chunk of our lives. It is because of this that it is so important our homes are designed the way that we want them to be; there are many reasons we may need to hire a home designer, from simply not having time, to being physically unable to redesign our homes. If you have the budget available, as interior designers can often be very expensive and want changes made to your home, you should waste no time redesigning your house. Some changes like adding white skirting boards, is also a good thing. We should be as comfortable as possible, and in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic even more so, considering we are spending much more time indoors, and many of us are working from home.

Reader says , “if the protesters want reparations paid, they can hit up mommy and daddy”

“I still chuckle at white kids from Ridgewood with a sign that says “Pay Reparations”.

OK, if the protesters want reparations paid, they can hit up mommy and daddy for a few hundred thousand and that should solve the problem.

What’s that you say? “Oh, no, we don’t want to *personally* pay the reparations”. We prefer to have the reparations paid by the non-protesting Ridgewood citizens.”

With George Floyd’s case still fresh in our minds, we can’t help but feel vulnerable in the face of such brutality and excessive force. 

We, in New Jersey, have not been spared and cases such as the one in Ridgewood, where a boy accused of obstructing traffic was arrested in a manner that felt excessively forceful.
