Ridgewood NJ, Members of Black Lives Matter Chicago held a rally on Monday night in support of more than 100 people arrested following widespread looting and rioting in the city the night prior.Speaking at the rally outside a police station in the South Loop where organizers said the suspected looters are in custody, organizer Ariel Atkins excused the looting — which reportedly caused at least $60 million in property damage and left 13 police officers injured — calling the theft “reparations,” NBC Chicago reported.

A reader asks “Black Lives Matters just came out in support of the riots and looting in Chicago this weekend. They said looting is a form of reparations. Anyone ask Ridgewood BLM if they concur, and when we can expect the looting?”

“One Village One Vote” is Nothing More than a Voter Suppression and Disenfranchisement Campaign

Ridgewood NJ, resident Steve Kim posted the following comment on Facebook, “Many of you remember how painful it was when Ahronson, Hauck and Pucciarelli gave away the soul of Ridgewood to the developers. If you need a reminder, just drive around downtown. Soon enough school enrollment will exhibit the net effect. That all started with what seemed innocuous at first. One Vote is a second coming attempt to get the better of the residents, and to realize the vision the original group pined for. You don’t have to believe me. I do urge you to do a careful inspection of what is happening before permanently signing away your rights. There is more to this than meets the eye.”

“it seems to me that the Ridgewood Village council are hell bent on destroying local businesses. Who would have thought that Ridgewood would have the same, bloody-minded, corrupt and self-destructive “administration” as NYC? Why are they so determined to finish off the local economy?

Reader says, “Having affordable housing shoved down our throats because of “privilege” is the biggest con of all time.”

high density housing

“That’s just the point. Residents who moved to Ridgewood for the small-town feel and great schools pay a price. It’s called property taxes and incredibly high home prices. These residents work hard to get here and live here.
Having affordable housing shoved down our throats because of “privilege” is the biggest con of all time. The ones making money are the lawyers and developers. I want to live in Alpine and send my kids to private school. But I can’t. That’s life, but don’t tell me to move if I don’t like it. I worked my ass off to get here and If I wanted to live in high-density housing areas, I would have moved to Park Ridge.”

Reader says , “We need a healthy business ecosystem to keep our state running”

CBD

“Our businesses need to open. If they don’t we are cutting them off at the knees and what comes of this owners and employees? These “non-essential businesses “ are essential to them and their families. Consumers are still going to make their own decisions on their level of comfort. Let them innovate and honor reasonable practices to keep their patrons and employees safe. Otherwise, they become wards of the state when you give them no alternative. We overspend in this state to begin with, and then we put it on the backs of the tax payers already burdened with some of the highest taxes in the country? The result? Everyone loses. We need a healthy business ecosystem to keep our states running. In the face of a pandemic there are practices and precautions to exercise. But closing businesses is killing our state and continuing the mass exit from a state who levies the burden upon its residents in epic proportions.”

Reader asks , “how many young people in town are being “recruited” by NJ Democratic Socialists of America”

“In reading the tag lines for this article I noticed “Ridgewood For Black Liberation” which prompted me to visit their Facebook page. There I saw a video of the entire protest march and a still photo with a comment, “Thank you comrades for your support”. “Soladarity forever”. This posting came from The Central NJ Democratic Socialists of America, so it begs the question just how many Ridgewood residents are involved in these protest marches, and how many young people in town are being “recruited” by the DSA to carry forth their agenda. If this is an ongoing thing, today Ridgewood, tomorrow the rest of Bergen County.”

“And again. No publicity is the human trafficking rally July 30. Ridgewood is becoming a joke. I saw the Facebook pictures most likely trying to cause a controversy.
I was absolutely appalled when I saw the pics and video posted in the comments of the RWPD actually blocked the roads to let these losers walk the streets. They even had no leader in the front. I am 100 percent behind ridgewood police. I am sure the orders to do this came from above.
Ridgewood had two protests or whatever they called it after Floyd. One at vets and one walk to the YMCA.
Enough is enough. The same guy with the bullhorn. Same people.
TIME TO HAVE A SUPPORT THE BLUE Rally in ridgewood.”

“Don’t underestimate the threat of these white kids from Ridgewood pose. Are they true Marxists? Most of them, probably not. Are the capable of violence? Most of them, probably not. They are not wolves, they are sheep, and that’s the threat. They will offer themselves, family, friends and neighbors for slaughter.”

Reader says , “This downtown is not my downtown anymore”

hudson garage6

“I passed by Broad St last night. The garage is HUGE. This garage reminds me of the monsters they have built in Yonkers and other areas in Westchester County. Even half the size would have been more than sufficient. The apartment complex is more than huge. Ugly sh!t all around. And it is just a start. They should rename Broad St to Broad Ave.
This downtown is not my downtown anymore. I will stay out of it.”

“These kids are an embarrassment to themselves, our town and their parents.

So tired of these whiney teenage brats. Relatives of mine in Israel have always told me that terrible leftist politics and values as well and the lack of compulsory military service would lead to the inevitable rot and deterioration of American youths. Alas, they have a point.”
