Tonight’s Toms River Township Council public hearing – which was conducted via Zoom – ended abruptly after a bizarre, anti-Semitic rant from a resident who apparently hacked the call.
TLS will not be publishing the comments due to the crass and vulgar nature.
Notably, Councilman James Quinlisk, who represents Ward 3, can be seen laughing while the comments were being made.
Tonight’s agenda included the controversial resolution to eliminate several police captain positions in favor of creating eight additional, full-time Cso/Emt Emergency Responders and providing for additional 24/7 Ambulance Service.
Tonight’s Council meeting was then moved to Zoom “[t]o ensure the safety of its participants and to give those who wish to speak the opportunity,” Council President Craig Coleman said in a statement last week.
The meeting concluded before the council was able to vote on the ordinance, which also eliminated the public relations position from the police department.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
It wasn’t a “rant”
But it was antisemitic
I would have to hear the comments before I pass judgement so Im not jumping on the “antisemetic” band wagon. Way too much of that going on.
I heard them. Even the Nazis would feel that it was anti-Semitic
So the lakewood scoop cant edit it?
So the scoop cant edit it??
Please don’t be suprized . It was like this 50 years ago when we used to go for car inspection
“Crass & Vulgar” is a bad thing. But these days considering how we label everything we do not like “Antisemitism” I’d first like to know if they said anything about us that wasn’t true?
So go listen to it.
Don’t go and be a sanctimonious (moderated)
Just listen to the comments and (moderated)
Help had a legit point. I detect tones of hate in Tests response. No need for such a nasty response unless you are like the person this story is about, except antigentile as opposed to antisemite
It was about מציצה בפה, if I’m allowed to say..
Please don’t!!!
Why waste time, they will ALWAYS hate us regardless of any circumstances!!!
there’s no band wagon to jump on
just let dead dogs lie and move on!!!!
Who hates who? Non-orthodox antisemitism against orthodox OR orthodox antigentilism against non-orthodox?
As a long time Toms River resident, I am ashamed of all the anti-semitism and outright hatred towards the Jewish people. Most of us DO NOT feel this way and these anti-semites actions are reprehensible and shameful.
Thank you Gabe.
That is heartwarming to hear.
While you may not receive many replies here, I can assure you, your comment is being read by many and appreciated.
Thank you. It often happens that a small minority with the loud voice gets noticed. Thanks for reminding us that most people are good.
Thank you for posting that; it’s usually unclear otherwise if that position exists.
James (Jim) Quinlisk is a known anti-semite and should be removed from his position in disgrace. To sit there laughing at anti-semitic rhetoric is disgusting. We need to get rid of these bigoted individuals expeditiously.
Please post an example of his well known atisemitism…i would like to read it
