    This is who Phil Murphy wants to give the right to vote.

  2. But said at 12:00 pm on April 30th, 2018:

    deceased people can’t vote.

  3. Proud Republican said at 1:19 pm on April 30th, 2018:

    When he was alive though, he was a dangerous, violent felon. You know, the type that Murphy loves to pander to with promises of voting rights?

  4. Likely around 98% said at 1:42 pm on April 30th, 2018:

    of those incarcerated now, or out after serving time, either voted Democrat to begin with, or would, if they could. This is what we deal with, among other assaults, on free, fair, proper, and legal elections..

  5. What do u mean, “but?” said at 1:52 pm on April 30th, 2018:

    Many people have joked for years that one can remain alive forever, if one lives and votes in Hudson county, since it often appears that they don’t purge their voting lists very well, and that many votes from dead people are cast up there, every year!

    proud republican

    ‘fyi i knew him in real life he was a g stfu if u a racist go back to germany where the nazis at just dont say sh** if u dont know anything kkk

  7. There ya go, said at 6:49 pm on April 30th, 2018:

    go right there down to the race argument. Doesn’t matter what color the person is, it’s what did he do against the law in his lifetime. Guess we are never going to get past the tired old, trite, victimhood complaints. It is still very frightening that a lot of people are still getting violent against each other in our midst..

    You are a racist son of a bitch! This man who I personally had known over 30yrs was a good reputable man/business owner. He was well respected, and gave back to the community. If you are going to trash anyone, it should be your racist ass president, that bastard is a threat to our country.

  9. dentss said at 3:12 pm on May 1st, 2018:

    What’s this ..nobody complaining about gun violence ….just doing the job our courts can’t do ….

  10. SNS said at 4:41 pm on May 1st, 2018:

    Proud Republican, you have no idea what the man was today. I’m sure you are not in a position to throw stones when you probably have cracks in your foundation. He paid his debt and was doing great things in his community. The fact that he is dead has nothing to do with his past activity. Know what your talking about first.

  11. Keep up said at 5:12 pm on May 1st, 2018:

    with the name calling. Makes your arguments so much more convincing. No one wants to see more violence on any human being, period. And, many believe the most racist president in modern history finally left, after eight long years of division, which is manifesting in ugly ways every day- by design!

  12. Proud Republican said at 7:09 pm on May 1st, 2018:

    @SNS – let’s see, attempted murder, aggravated assault of a police officer, possession of a weapon, stolen property, resisting arrest – yup sounds like a swell guy. And I’m sure he was shot not because he was mixed up in some criminal activity, but because he failed to signal when changing lanes. You really should face facts – this was one bad dude

  13. King said at 7:08 pm on May 6th, 2018:

    Proud republican u asshole u support trump and like i said u didn’t know him in real life don’t u find it strange all of these crimes were at least 15 years ago. YES THATS HIS PAST DEAL WITH IT he was trying to change you should shut your fucked up mouth and stop making assumptions. Like I said I knew him personally and got my haircut many times at his salon this was not the man I knew
