This week in Franklin Lakes we saw police move without hesitation to quickly defuse a school threat situation and in Ridgewood on Saturday police quickly gained control of the situation and a male resident was taken to Bergen New Bridge Medical Center in Paramus for observation.
BLM?
Buy large mansions?
Interesting after the Democrats stole the election, people were no longer paid to burn down cities and riot.
OH… wait…
does BLM mean ”Bidens Laptop Matters”
Karma. How sweet it is!
Psychotic control freaks, drunk with power and bent on abusing their narrow positional authority, moronic, steroid-addled municipal police, rather than local residents, are the ones who should be processed by screeners and psychiatrists, and coldly processed through BNBMC.
(Yes, Virginia, it is a racket.)
Their plan is working perfectly.
Set up a crisis which will get folks all worked up on different sides.
You want to keep folks at their own throats, because they will be too busy fighting themselves to form a solid bloc against you.
When they react as human nature tells you they will, you then paint that as aberrant behavior.
And that aberrant behavior has to have full press coverage if you want to inspire other such acts.
“…involving a report of a gun on Saturday morning…”
Note that no actual gun was involved, or it too would have been mentioned.
This incident was probably triggered by trumped up domestic abuse allegations, invented by a dishonest divorce attorney and suggested for use as a cynical tactic to gain a litigation advantage in Family Court.
The goal of this nonsense should be obvious: Dragging the supposedly offending spouse into an early and abrupt hearing, dousing him with vague allegations of instability, and eventually obtaining first a temporary, and later a final order, granting the 911-dialing spouse full legal custody of the children, the hapless father having long since been place under an unending and mindless regime of “supervised parenting”.
One quick 911 call later, and we find that the “thin blue line” is all too happy to play its part in the lawyer-scripted drama by amplifying nonsensical allegations of potential violence, and dutifully distorting them beyond all recognition.
Scratch the surface, and this will most likely be shown to be a naked political persecution of an honest husband, who would likely never have been put through any of this, but for the fact that he is also the father of one or more minor children, from whom the credulous county apparatus will soon be called upon, roughly and cruelly to alienate him.
The amount of speculation with zero actual knowledge here is incredible.
For the record, this incident had nothing to do with domestic abuse, past or present.
Get help, get help.
“The Great Substance Abuser”
An actual gun was most definitely involved.
“An actual gun was most definitely involved.”
It’s right there in the script, isn’t it, Alec?
The script is what makes it an actual gun — what gives it its real power (i.e., as propaganda).
If the script says the 2A goes directly out the window, that’s what happens.
This is just another gun grabbing tool in the hands of stone cold statists.
The above comments actually frighten me. The fact that the majority of the writers assume this is all a publicity stunt cooked up to affect a divorce or child custody situation instead of an actual live event is scary. Slamming the police–who went in even though a live gun was reported to be there–as participants in a farce instead of having the courage to go in and control the situation is totally unnecessary. Are we all actually so jaded that we can’t see the difference between a real event–regardless of the cause–and a publicity stunt?
You know what everyone did their job no one got hurt. There’s so many things going on in this world everything has changed. People are so stressed out, we are all seeing things we never seen before look at the last two years whole world has been turned upside down. I think we all need to take a breather
The fact remains that Fentanyl now the leading cause of death for adults ages 18 to 45 based on CDC data surpassing those attributed to COVID-19, suicide, and car accidents. Gun homicides with legally-owned firearms (particularly the dreaded “weapons of war”) don’t even approach a rounding error. Isn’t it strange how we spend so much time obsessing about the latter (as well as Covid) and no time devising a common sense plan for the former? I hate to sound cynical, but does anyone ever stop to question why our elected “representatives” only seem to focus on issues that increase their power and not on those that improve the lives of Americans?
False dichotomy.
There are plenty of laws regarding the use, distribution, and sale of fentanyl. Not exactly doing nothing. But there are plenty of our elected “representatives” who actively oppose ANY legislation on guns.
(And don’t think I didn’t notice that “legally-owned” qualifier. You want stats? The number one cause of death for CHILDREN is firearms now according to the New England Journal of Medicine ttps://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2201761 )
And you’re being disingenuous with the “I hate to sound cynical” routine, as you clearly love it. Every time you comment.
Ah yes, the time-honored tradition of Leftists throwing out terms like “debunked”, “conspiracy theory” and yes, “false dichotomy” in order to avoid answering a simple question. I merely asked why we have no focus on a problem that is an order of magnitude worse than deaths of kids from LEGALLY-OWNED firearms. Asking if it’s because it doesn’t increase their power wasn’t posed as the only explanation, but it may be the most obvious, like asking if companies hire lobbyists to help them increase barriers to entry and thereby their profits.
And I’m glad you were so astute as to notice the “legal” designation (bravo!) because we DO have plenty of laws for both illicit drugs and guns already. We just don’t enforce them with any vigor. BTW, since you are a stickler for logical argument, why do you quote an article that gives no breakdown in deaths from legally-possessed vs. illegally-possessed firearms and also demonstrates that this problem is, in aggregate, much smaller than fentanyl deaths aided and abetted by our porous border. Not exactly the stuff of which debate club champions are made. Finally, I’m flattered that you are such a follower of mine that you noticed a cynical theme in my posts. And what makes me most cynical of all is the fact that apparently intelligent citizens are so wedded to their political team that they take their lead on solutions from their politicians instead of doing the hard work of 1) accurately defining the cause of the problem and 2) crafting a workable and appropriate solution instead of things that won’t work.
It’s nice you’re flattered at being remembered. I’m sure the crazy screaming homeless lady around my workplace is flattered at being remembered, too.
But it isn’t the win she thinks it is.
Ridgewood is not what it was.
It all changed when my mom started waring slacks . Well you know what I’m saying.
the decline was evident when it went from ”reliably republican” to the current dumbocrats (from ny and montclair who move here)
psychiatric evaluation, not psychological
