This is ridiculous already, isn’t it? Every reason that people wated to live here in the suburbs is gone. Traffic, congestion, no parking, rudeness, aggressiveness, noise and yes now crime too. Not just crime but a violent murder every day it seems. When are people going to realize that we are being reminded that this IS galus! Why do we think that we are any different here in Lakewood? Remember Brownsville, East New York, the Bronx and other very heavily Jewish safe neighborhoods? Guess what? You can not walk there noon time these days. Don’t fool yourselves. Lakewood is NO different. The rate of crime is rising like crazy. Maybe if we treated each other with more respect and had a little more Ahavas Chinam we will be mercifully be spared by Hashem.
……and we keep voting for Singer??
#1 this is nothing new Lakewood always averages a murder or two every year going back 30 or so years.
You don’t know what ur talking about. 88 is a very nice, safe block. The County just repaved the Rd & fixed almost a mile of sidewalk. In a very short time, the 88 will have many new houses w/ normal, legal , inhabitants.
I am voting for singer,
I am told to do that
#1, violent crime in Lakewood today is nothing compared to what it used to be.
#2 Yes, I’m sure HH would just make everything perfect.
well if we keep talking about less of this and less of that and why do we need this and that…..you can see the results. for you need people Lakewood has had like previously stated a murder rate of 1-3 a year, a few years higher, and seems like its on an up swing. people are fighting for the remaining turf, streets, and illegal trade. so when the committee, no matter who is on it asks for things you’d better back there insight as to what is needed to fight these hoods.
Lakewood is not what it use to be crime realy went up lately we need more cops on the road enough is enough
once agian the lakewood scoop has better reporting then what the APP wrote about this.
Lakeview!!!!!!!!!!
I think this is a partial answer to the illegal immigration issue.
If these mexican drug cartels keep thinning out the herd it will at least keep the hoods’ numbers down…
This cam be a partial solution to the illegal immigration issue.
If these mexican drug cartels keep thinning out the herd it will at least keep the hoods’ numbers down…
When are all these highly educated people going to learn the difference between THEN and THAN. #10, it is no wonder you prefer to be anonymous when you show your ignorance.
This is nothing new. Lakewood has been this way for close to 30 years.
#5… do you not have a mind of your own to this for yourself?
fatal shootings, fatal car accidents and a rising number of shootouts but the people of Lakewood want to lay off their police officers, EMT’s and firefighters, EMERGENCY SERVICES should be the last budgets to be cut, cut public works, cut non essential programs and STOP paying the township committee salary and benefits, they have jobs and businesses this is not NYC they don’t devote enough time to get paid, let them volunteer their time like hatzolah, LFAS, LFD and cheverim, keep our cops on the streets protecting us and our EMT’s on the road saving our lives
Hey Benny, # 14
Do you feel better about yourself now that you made that comment? Have you demonstrated your superior to me now? Has your self esteem been raised? Do you think people are impressed with your command of grammar? How have you contributed to the conversation? Please enlighten us with you knowledge.
keep thinking about us as you people put it and this is what happens, everything for you but know one else, lakewood has many others living here , try thinking for yourselfs and told always what to do
hey bulloney just so you know Rt. 88 is a state highway and the work was done by the state not the county. Most of it is not a nice place at all. But i have a good idea, lets still lay off some police officers so we can continue to pay for our committee men and their benefits even thought they all have full time jobs. Besides it would make the town safer knowing their are less police but the committee still has their benefits. /sarcasm
These incidents have been aound for decades. The only difference is that the scoop hasn’t been. These stories were just never picked up by the mainstream frum olam as they were only found in the APP
You are absolutely correct!!
Just a few things why do you think the gangs are becoming more known it’s because they have a bigger group of buyers people are making them rich by buying the drugs they are selling the other thing is although the town is not hiring cops it does not seem to be laying any off either. Although lakewood has always had more crime then the towns around us it does seem to be getting bad again like it was in the 70s. So far don’t know about this one but they are bloods doing the shootings not illegals.
To #14,
I couldn’t agree with you more regarding the horrible grammar and spelling in these posts. How about people knowing the difference between, THERE, THEIR, and THEY”RE. And I could go on and on…
Yes, someone who knows proper English and how to spell is superior to an illiterate!
Im 34 and lived in Lakewood all my life and crime is nothing new here its an everyday occurance nowadays for the most part people who live here regardless of race ethnicity or religious background are decent law abiding people and one more thing the so called “bloods” are not real they are fake want to see real Bloods go to Newark or Los Angeles that where you see true gangmembers these kids are bunch of posers in a couple years you’ll see where they will end up.
