We will keep you posted
Another I told you so moment. When we had the yogurt store on Clifton we had daily problems with mental patients sitting in the store and scaring customers. We asked police for help and were often told they cant do anything. At one point I asked the committee to tell the owners of the facility to not allow any patients outside the building without a chaperone. This is something that most mental homes do. If someone wants to go outside they have a monitor accompany them.of course nothing was done. And I can assure you that nothing will be done now . It is a shame that we cant have a committee focused on solving problems instead of doing favors for their friends and themselves.

ReplyDeleteGuy does not live there. But this isn’t his first run in with the law and NJ laws allowed him to be released even after felony assault charges. He was employed by quite a few fun unzere over the years.
