crackaloon 15 Posted March 29, 2011 It speaks for itself and I really don't care why. I'd say I wanted at least two guys to be on all calls in Irvington, but that would just end up with two guys shot. My link A Verizon Communications employee was shot this morning in Irvington, a company spokesman confirmed today. The unidentified man has been taken to a hospital, according to Verizon spokesman Richard Young. At the time, Young said he could not identify the worker or the hospital he was taken to. Police responded to the shooting reported at 9:57 a.m. today on 48 Tichenor Terrace. Irvington police could not be immediately reached for comment.

I read the whole post and the article and I can't find any news. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kenw 293 Posted March 29, 2011 NJ.com has en entire landing page for shootings in NJ. How absurd is it that even in light of this level of violence, we can't make any progress? NJ.com Shootings page Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Motofan 10 Posted March 29, 2011 I used to fix payphones in irvington, newark, paterson, and passaic. Over a year only two incidents..one bottle thrown at my head and turned my back for a minute and some dick clipped the phone keys... The dick then a little kid around the corner offering a ransom for the keys..lol Usually if you are providing service..phone, electric, had etc..they leave you alone.

bry@n 195 Posted March 29, 2011 I work there also and it's not uncommon for Verizon to send two guys to a job when working on dial tone issues. I work for Verizon also (greg and I work together) and our boss has no clue what it's like. Actually I take it back, she came to a job with me, saw the environment and watched as I was discrimanted against for being white. It was sad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJKen 23 Posted March 30, 2011 I spent two years in south east DC in the hard core geto working in public schools. We had more than one truck with bullet holes in it after that (new jersey company. we dont go there anymore). We where advised by the local police that we should carry a firearm for our protection! At the time it was a crime to even own one in DC.. If everyone carried these punks would really think twice about pulling a gun on someone. Politicians do not realize that these gang banging fools are gonna get guns and use them no matter how hard they screw the law abiding citizen with firearm over regulation. I just dont get it Ken 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joeybones 1 Posted March 30, 2011 The politicians get it but their primary concern is to get re-elected and the voting base in NJ is an anti gun majority. So they are not going to ack anything that might not get them re-elected. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJKen 23 Posted April 1, 2011 The politicians get it but their primary concern is to get re-elected and the voting base in NJ is an anti gun majority. So they are not going to ack anything that might not get them re-elected. Most unfortunately true. This topic just get me all worked up and makes me drag out the soapbox. The sheeple in this state are totally clueless. Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mipafox 438 Posted April 1, 2011 Irvington is another New Jersey candidate for the Neutron Bomb. Great minds think alike. Some people say it would take 12 or 15, but I think we could bring Hope and Change with about 4. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
