Pfft- Imagine.

All jokes aside; TV heads a chill guy, I've talked with him in the past and I can say we both agree on a lot of issues in the city. One of em was regarding the Hahne co spot not really being accessible for/ or messing with residents, despite being paid for by the public/residents. I'll edit this comment when I can pull the thread.

No?????

My goal is to inspire folks to create postive change in their communities. More importantly, make sure everyone's safe, and makes it home.

Not have everyone make it out in body bags; Where did you get the idea I was even armed?

Honestly, I probably would, its better than being setup on a sidewalk where a car can straight up run over your encampment or under a trainstation.

And I didnt say all of downtown.💀; just a park atleast.

With the ammount of Anti homeless infastructure here, you might as well go to penn station.

Yea, but what pisses me off of is the lack of actual outdoor accommodations for unhoused folks here in Newark. All they really have is Penn Station, and Peter Francisco park which is pretty small. You'd think Millitary park would've been the perfect spot to house encampments but nah.

As far as I've seen, most of the folks are posted on that street between PF park and Penn Station, the ammout of Anti homeless infrastructure in some spots of downtown is beyond me.

Damn, have we just really been anti homeless these past 3 years? Ranging from the ordinance charging unhoused folks 500$ for panhandling but mfs wifh actual cars and income $50, the reinforcement and lies regarding food permits for the unhoused, or denying unhoused residents vouchers they got from moving here which was only repealed via june of 2022.

Okay; I hear you.

Counterpoint; I LITERALLY DO CHARITY STUFF ON THE SIDE- Donating to drives, helping in whatever I can; I've literally been doing that.

I understand where you're coming from, but you sound hella negative. If you think what I'm doing is going out and looking for fights- that sounds...a little uneducated, and stupid.

You dont think it'd kill us to have like a peir or center of activity right? Like a times square? Closest we have is four corners, which looks more dead than Uncle Ben, not to mention the lack of subway transportation to get around besides the one subway line in the Northward and other subway syetem in downtown.

Yeah. And now he's getting tried to attempted murder and weapons charges.

Attempted murder cant really apply to someone who cant think, behave, act, or feel properly.

Weapons charges is a bit off putting though, who tf gave him a gun?

And it recently came out from his family that he not only was schizophrenic, but when this mans mother went to the PD over the course of a few months leading to this, they disregarded her and said that something serious would need to happen before they could consider even booking him into a mental health institute or physc ward.

Yeah, thats the unfortunate thing about what I do, since I dont really have means of getting around like that, some things like the shooting can slip past. Not to mention I'm not always out in the city 24/7,

but I think thats where the issue is more than just some kid in modded streetwear unable to make it in time to stop or intervene in whatever happens. But at that point yknow, I think it becomes something that the community as a whole has to address and find out how to deal with instead of constantly complaining and taking no further action, which sucks because its counterproductive as hell.

But yea, thanks for the heads up, I definitely would love to hear more from you tho, you brought a really good point despite it being a small joke lmao.
