Examining the Impact of Menacing State Convictions

external content.duckduckgo 35

Finding yourself facing a charge of menacing at the state level can be a confusing situation to navigate. From simply determining what the charge refers to and figuring out what the potential consequences may be, a menacing charge needs to be explained. Never fight a menacing charge by yourself, rather use an accredited attorney familiar with menacing defense law.

Increased Police Presence at all of Fair Lawn Public Schools

44683201 2021568634569714 5648922136534843392 o1

A MESSAGE FROM NICHOLAS J. NORCIA, SUPERINTENDENT OF FAIR LAWN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
December 4, 2018
Dear Fair Lawn Parents/Guardians:
In an effort to remain as transparent as possible, I would like to provide you with an update following the threat made against Thomas Jefferson Middle School yesterday, December 3, 2018.
As an educator, administrator, and most importantly a parent, I understand it can be frustrating not having all the details of the incident. At times, however we need to follow the recommendations of the local authorities, while not compromising the investigation by the police and administration. As always, our students and staff’s safety is our number one priority.
As detailed in my letter home last night, there was an increased police presence at all of Fair Lawn Public Schools today, especially at Thomas Jefferson Middle School. Mr. Weaver and Mr. Grubman greeted every student and parent who dropped off their child this morning, followed by a meeting with the faculty. In addition, Mr. Weaver also met with all students during their lunch periods to reinforce for them that their physical and emotional safety is his top priority.
Although we were more vigilant than ever today, in light of the threat made against TJMS, the students and staff had a regular day and all activities commenced like any other day at TJMS.
This is an ongoing investigation and the Fair Lawn Police Department is following up on some leads of the person responsible. Also, until further notice, we will continue to have an increased police presence at Thomas Jefferson Middle School. When I have additional information, I will update you in a timely manner.
I want to thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.
Sincerely,
Nicholas J. Norcia

Nasty Outbursts by Council members Now the Norm at Ridgewood Village Council Meetings

3 amigos in action Ridgewood NJ

January 31,2016

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, Other than by possible anonymous postings, we have not heard a word from Paul, Albert or Gwenn. Sadly, this is not surprising. Paul and Albert lost their tempers and spewed innumerable nasty adjectives to discredit a resident who was acting completely in accordance with the law, and Gwenn sat quietly and allowed this verbal onslaught to carry on. This is one of many, way too many, such meetings at which Paul, Albert, and Gwenn have allowed and enabled the public crucifixion of an elected official, an appointed official, or a member of the general public.

Whether a resolution is inserted into the code at a future time to require that all recording by private citizens must be announced, the fact is that at this time such an announcement is not required. Thus, their nasty characterizations were way, way out of line. It is entirely possible that they went over the line into libel and slander. Lawyers can decide about that. Well, lawyers other than the one who calls himself Deputy Dawg.

We, the people, have all the dates and transcripts of their vicious outbursts dating back 4 years, and in Paul’s case 8 years. For Albert and Gwenn, who are running for reelection, we will be happy to replay these over and over and over for the voting public to be reminded of your true colors. We do not need to say anything; your own words will say it all.

To use one of Albert’s favorite catch words – GOTCHA!

Name calling from Ridgewood Council Majority Supporters is Childish

Ridgewood NJ, Insulting people’s intellectual range, calling people idiots, inventing insulting names for people who have different opinions and calling those people’s opinions outrageous – all in one paragraph – doesn’t craft a winning argument for being “above the fray” or better than the average Blog reader… And if you indeed are a very devoted and vocal supporter of the current Council majority, I don’t think it reflects well on them either. You are not doing them any favors by being so nasty and quickly reduced to the level of name calling.

Why can’t anybody just discuss the issues anymore? Agree to disagree? I have strong opinions too but make an effort not to engage in that type of behavior. It is just unnecessary and unproductive. I think if you can’t hold it together, in public or in writing, people can probably sympathize with that feeling but maybe you should reconsider participating until you can pull yourself together. This thread of comments was not uncivil at all until you took it in that direction.

It goes to the very core of the problem  when even Reverend Jan Philips at the beginning of the public comment session in a public meeting accused Ridgewood residents who were about to speak as GRANDSTANDING, when almost noone had had a chance to speak .Worse yet Reverend Philips, chairs the Civility Meetings, leading critics to only assume the whole civility process is nothing more than an attack on free speech and an attempt to silence dissent.

The Ridgewood blog is often the target of these Orwellian attacks of news speak where time and time again supporters of the council majority come on the blog name calling , bulling ,attacking and threatening posters always desperate to break the veil on anonymity that protects residents .

So the message is simple you get what you give , lack of respect breads lack of respect .

threats:

We can only hope that a tree falls on the little apartment that houses the server for this website….and puts us all out of our misery. Civility will return to the village once this forum of hate and intolerance is taken down.

70.192.64.104

I guess we’ll have a lot of residents pulling candidate packets to make a run at a seat….or do the malcontents just enjoy being keyboard bullies???

The guy with the bowtie is the Curmudgeon-in-Chief, founder of Curmudgeons for a Better Ridgewood, CBR, not to be confused with Citizens for a Dead Ridgewood. I can think of many vocalantis, rhymes with vigilantes, who qualify for Sasquatch.
If James sends me his email, I will be happy to send him photographs I took at Schedler, showing what a dump it is.
If Council Members Knudsen and Sedon were to pause for a minute and think of Ridgewood’s long-term interests and not just pandering to their base base, they would work positively with the Three Amigos to turn Schedler into something we can all be proud of and one that many Ridgewood Residents can enjoy.

Here we go again, the Pravda’s nasty campaign against perhaps the sincerest and hardest working member of the Village Council. Repeat a lie enough times and you hope it becomes the truth. You want to define nasty? Listen to the vocalantis, rhymes with vigilantes, with their viciousu guerrilla campaign to tke over control of the Council and then taking us back to C

James, have you no shame? Coming up with any BS idea you could muster, with little respect for your readers intelligence? And while you are at it, why not argue for the fact that Schedler needs to be protected since a susquatch was recently seen there. Susquatch? Look it up.

Friends of a bio-dump. What a creepy, crap-ridden place Schedler is and they want to preserve it inviolate? All of a sudden this neighborhood nobody even knew was part of Ridgewood is run through with dedicated environmentalists? Not likely–they just like having a place where they don’t have to worry about cleaning up after their dogs, and they want to avoid extra road traffic coming through their neighnorhood. Nothing more than that. No saintly motives, that much is for sure.

Ridgewood NJ , Ridgewood Police and the Ridgewood Board of Ed  took proactive measures Tuesday after Police in nine North Jersey towns received bomb threats on Monday evening and on Tuesday morning, disrupting the school day for thousands of local students . Schools in Bergenfield, Clifton, Englewood, Fair Lawn, Garfield, Hackensack, Leonia, Teaneck, and Tenafly received the threats. Some school systems instituted lockdowns while others evacuated. While threats turned out to be a false alarm Ridgewood  Police and BOE rightfully took no chances .

We have received several inquiries today concerning threats to area schools today. Approximately 9 schools throughout Bergen and Passaic Counties received threats and have taken appropriate measures to address their specific needs. Although our schools have not received any threats, the Ridgewood Board of Education and the Ridgewood Police upon hearing of the regional issues, took proactive measures, conducting school security checks of all schools. This proactive approach is part of our ongoing efforts with Dr. Fishbein and the Board of Education towards enhancing the safety of our schools and community.

RBSA Reputation takes a big Hit after threats made Against Ridgewood blog

RBSA Reputation takes a big Hit after threats made Against Ridgewood blog 

Don’t pay attention to those real nutty posters, trying to hurt people..

Tell them the Mayor of Robert St. …. will find out who the are…. and reverse the threat.

Too bad that the RBSA has adopted such “wiseguy” tactics.

It can’t be Gary, there are no misspellings…..

Ouch–apparently the truth hurts. Hear anybody denying RBSA’s questionable financial practices or demonstrating that the accusations are not correct?

RBSA Rich Boys Social Association

Did Albano actually think that running for Village Council would be a walk in the woods?

Having fun yet Gary?
