  1. This is got to stop already why do our police officers have to put themselves in harms way. I think the rev. who is the voice of tent city should pitch tents in his backyard or his church parking lot & lets see how he enjoys it. You drive by at night the are smells from the fires they make. I have driven in to to city chickens are running lose you couldn’t do that in your backyard so why should they be allowed to. Do you know there are alot of us who don’t have money who cant put bread bread on our tables but we aren’t moving into tents we are taking second jobs we are scratching to make it work we are still paying taxes we aren’t steeling from our neighbors. Its time to stop using it as an excuse and move on.

  2. This is exactly one of the several fears all the good tax paying citizens have been concerned about all along.

    This “tent city” has – AS EXPECTED – become a magnet for crime and criminals.

  3. Think about the anger you are feeling right now, and remember it on election day.

    On the local level, on the state level, and on the federal level.

    The liberals (Democrats) are always taking from those who worked hard for their money, and giving it to those who don’t work hard.

    Liberals (Democrats) will make laws and regulations and statutes for the hard-working tax-paying citizens who follow the rules, but they will bend those same rules for illegal aliens in America, and for illegal trespassers in Tent City.

    Your beloved Government at work – working AGAINST YOU, the law-abiding citizen.

    America rebelled against The King of England because of this. The liberals know this, that’s why they need to take away your guns.

  4. Im waiting for all the folks to start screaming discrimination against the homeless!
    Its about time Lakewood shuts this place down!

  5. #1 Did you read the article. Someone from tent city called the police because someone was acting suspicious.This is no different than if you called the police if you saw someone acting suspious.
    And is this any different than the police putting themselves in harms way answering the numerous suspious person calls made by other people in lakewood everyday.
    Also, these tents are already in the ministers back yard. He lives in Tent City.
    You sound like a very mean spirited person. I feel sorry for you.

  6. To # 3: The Ocean County Freeholders, the State Representatives, the State Senator and the Governor are all Republicans so how is this the fault of the Democrats.

    It is time for a complete change but people who have the ability and the brains to change things have better sense than to run for office.

  7. Hey Yid. You’re watching too much FOX News. You’re conservative friends caused the economic problems we’re having that puts people in tent cities. Remember what they did from 2000-2008? By cutting every program available to help the unemployed, disabled, homeless, mentally ill, etc they made tent cities possible around the country. What do you propose we do with the tent city people? Move them to another forest? Put them all in prisons? Kill them? The politicians refuse to address the problems that cause tent cities.

  8. Huh? What are you smoking? How exactly did the Republicans cause this mess? The early Bush years was the longest stretch of consecutive months of net job gains since post world war 2. It was when the Democrats took control of Congress in 2006 that things went down hill. I don’t watch FOX News – in fact, I don’t have a television at all. I am simply informed of the truth.

    For example, this financial crisis was caused by the collapse of of the subprime mortgages. Who do you think created this subprime mess in the first place? Democrats of coursen because they wanted to be so nice to minorities, so they forced banks to lend subprime mortgages to poor minorities who didn’t have a prayer of paying back the money. When Bush tried to regulate Freddie and Fannie, the Democrats in Congress (Chris Dodd and Barnie Frank) wouldn’t let.

    Oh, and before we forget, do you remember how the the final straw that broke the camel’s back and pushed us into recession in mid-2008? That’s right, it was $4 a gallon gas. Now which party refuses to drill for more oil in America to lower our price of oil??? You guessed it – the Democrats. This recession started when Democrats came to power in 2006, its root cause is the Democrats insistence on banks lending to poor minorities through the subprime mortgage, and it was exacerbated through Democrats’ insistence on having high gas prices through their “environmental” policies because og global warming, oops I mean global cooling, oops I mean climate change. (Sorry, some confusion there.)

    So although I don’t watch FOX, I keep myself informed, thank you very much. Unlike you.

    By the way, did you notice how NBC was just caught doctoring tapes AGAIN? Do you actually watch that station?

  9. Hey Concerned citizen:
    Get your time line straight…. Bill Clinton started this mess when he decided that everyone that wanted to own a house should get one, weather or not they had the means to pay for it!. Mortgages were given to everyone, and guess what the housing market collapsed when people couldn’t pay back the loans, which started the domino effect which caused this mess. And by the way you cannot not spend your way into prosperity as this Obama is trying to do. Obama has borrowed so much money that our Grand children will be paying for his mess!!

  10. The liberals (Democrats) always have their bleeding hearts making decisions instead of their brains.

    Its time to stop spending the money on PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE NOT TO WORK, AND WHO CHOOSE NOT TO LIVE LIFE, THE NORMAL WAY.

    Take the money that is being spent on law suits, garbage, etc- and give it to those that need it. Like the Fire Dept, EMS, Police, Schools, etc.
    Because as i see it, the Governments all over the country are crying “we dont have money” but not a single welfare check bounces, and not a single bum is going without his tax funded ‘social programs’ readily available to him/her!

  11. so a citizen of tent city reports a suspicious person, like any law-abiding citzien should, and they get bashed for it? you guys need to get a life and get concerned about the numerous problems this town has, not the homeless.

  12. Leave Bill Cinton out of it..Were all responsible for our own actions..Clinton walked into a Recession left by Father Bush..And fixed it ..But no one gives him credit for that !!

  13. Huh? What are you smoking? How exactly did the Republicans cause this mess? The early Bush years was the longest stretch of consecutive months of net job gains since post world war 2.

  14. alright mr. live from tent city- Yes it is different for a cop going into tent city than going into any other situation around lakewood – in the forest surrounded by people living in tents- it’s a problem waiting to happen! that is not the natural way that people live in this country. People live in homes and work at jobs. this is not how it is in NJ. u wana live in a tent and tend to live wild animals- go to the middle east – that is normal and done there. we dont want ur animals, ur nasty burning smells, this is a TOWN / CITY. if u dont like that concept, YOU MOVE. Clearly, people are unsure of the basic laws and rules of a town- when that happens, the TOWNSHIP NEEEDS TO STEP UP AND RESTORE ORDER. SHUT IT DOWN.

  15. The BIG ARREST was for a person wanted in Monmouth County for child support. What a dangerous criminal !!! A homeless man that owes child support. I guess you will all sleep better tonight knowing that this man is behind bars.

  16. # 16 “We dont want?” You mean you dont want. There are hundred of people that support Tent City and the people who live there. So please do not say “WE”
    And you are right. This is not the way people should live. So why not stop your useless ranting and raving and get behind the people who support building a decent shelter for these people.

  17. How come no one complains when these homeless people cut down trees to make room for their non tax paying tents, but when a developer want to come along and cut down down trees, everyone yells. At least houses bring in tax $$$, what do these people bring??

  18. i 100% support building a decent shelter for these people. will the people go to the shelter and use it? or will they throw a fit and refuse to go……….
    people shud not live like that…get a shelter and a staff their that will help em get back on their feet- 100%- that is, if the pastor and the ppl will agree. either way, the tent city, has got to go. do good for the homeless and do good for the township. Neither should suffer tho (yes, suffering means us the neighbors living with garbage can after garbage can lining our street, live stock running around,and the disgusting smells, the strange crimes….etc)

  19. oh and #18- when i say “WE” i’m speaking for the Neighbors of ‘tent city’ who Lived here PROPERLY a lot longer than tent city was around and i dont think u will find ONE- NOT ONE- neighbor, living in a LEGIT house, apartment, townhouse…etc. That supports these homeless people living in the woods, so close to our homes. so,We means tent city neighbors. let me know if u find ONE neighbor that enjoys tent city being within 2 blocks from their home

  20. to all the people who are hating on tent city….You SHOULD GO HOMELESS FOR MONTH TO SEE HOW IT FEELS.DO YOU THINK THEY WANT TO LIVE THERE.AND BESIDES OCEAN COUNTY DOES NOT HAVE A SHELTER SO IF YOU KICK THESE PEOPLE OUT WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO GO? MAYBE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE KIDS ARE PLAYING FOR SNEAKING AROUND YOUR YARD FOR SOME TO SELL,OR HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO WORRY IF SOMEBODY IS GOING TO TRY TO GET INTO YOUR HOUSE. POINT IS KEEP THEM IN THERE OWN COMMUNITY INTIL THEY HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE BESAIDES TENT CITY

  21. Hey Stars ….. What history book are you reading from, must be the “Democrats history as we see it”. When he left office the Dot Com bubble burst and we were heading down hill.
