    Camden City Council Approves Massive Police And Fire Layoffs









    Gov Christie should just throw a big ass tarp over this place and fumigate it all. Then bulldoze it down.

    99.99999% democrats.

    Classic big government nonsense. When you are in a financial mess, threaten to lay off police and firefighters to scare the public into paying higher taxes and driving business out of the area making the problem worse. Of course, they won’t fire the paper shufflers in administrative jobs throughout city goverenment…….just the cops and hose jockeys. If citizens fall for this nonsense they deserve what they get.

    A friend of my brother’s drove through Camden, NJ in the late 70′s in his Dodge Charger and about 20 Blacks ran out into the street to block his car. He was taking a shortcut home from work. They wouldn’t move, and when 3 pulled out guns, he turned his Dodge Charger into a weapon and floored it. Three hit the hood and went flying over the roof. One he hit really hard and knocked at least 30 feet. He never looked back and never cared and I’m sure the cops didn’t either.

    Camden is Planet of the Apes! Where is Roddy McDowell to save them? The cops should live in subway tunnels until we can rebuild the city.

    Consider all of the taxpayer money that is UTTERLY WASTED on the public school bureaucracies including sports programs! I’d bet the numbers from Camdem would be mind boggling – as they would from most Democrat controlled areas. Hey, not that the Repubs aren’t bad enough, BUT the Dems are completely over the top.

    Government workers and their sycophants in the welfare state actually believe that they are the “important ones” – hence the outrageously high salaries and benefits. Why on earth are we taxpayers, funding NPR and the NEA? Why are we funding lavish parties for the White House folk? Why all the enormous travel expenses for US govt folk? Are their trips really that important??? Surely they think so – an Alice in Wonderland mentality.

    Liberalism = failure, spending too much money, and an inferior education. Great job Camden, wow you guys are so smart! Keep voting Democrat!

    Good! They must not be doing any good anyway…Fire the police and firemen, and hand out guns and fire extinguishers. Probably will be a lot safer town.

    Very strange isn’t it that localities with the strictest gun laws also have the highest crime rates in the nation. Localities which have laws which make it easy for the average citizen to both own and carry a gun have the lowest crime rates. Gosh one would think the liberals would have enough brains to figure out that the type of gun laws that places like Ny and NJ have simply do not work!

    That’s because Minnesota is a cheap skate State! Believe me, I’ve been there. Sky high home prices and paltry wages and salaries.

    I had a dream, that little black children, and white children and red children and yellow children grow up and learn their government is a corporation bent on working the people like a nazi concentration camp and they banded together and beat their computers in to weapons and defeated these thugs with badges and bankers in business suits and got their Republic back…god help us if we don’t have that story to tell our grandkids

    This is just the first part of the government bubble bursting much like the tech bubble, housing bubble, and all the other bubbles. Its just sad the doughnut eaters will have to find a real job and not be able to spend the day riding around hassling people.

    Its about time, we have too many cops, too many prisons, and too many laws on the books. Time to get lean and productive again.

    Now if we can just get them to layoff a lot of the non-productive administration people they will be on the path to full recovery. It never ceases to amaze me that a liberal always wants to hurt the voter so they only cut essential services and never the bloated overhead of the government. Perhaps now is the time to try real cuts and real savings.

    And you can blame ol’ Clinton for that. It all happened when he gave China most favored nation status.

    I think it is time to get a map of where all the banks in Camden are. Sounds like easy pickings to me. Loot the government buildings. Who will stop you? Not the liberals who will only help haul the gasoline for $5 an hour. California doesn’t need to fall into the ocean, it has already fell into the hands for liberals. Need a job robbing and killing people?, come to San Francisco or San Jose and you get a ‘get out of jail free’ card. But if you are not an illegal alien and have assets the government can take, steal or confiscate, be prepared to give it up or be shot dead by the corrupt police and city attorneys hear who get paid by the criminals to look the other way.

    God bless the Police and Fire professionals soon losing their jobs. We are moving to becoming a third world country!

    We need police and teachers unions to accept significant pay cuts. Additionally, and just as importantly, we need to require significant benefit cuts in he form os higher medical premium co-pays, higher deductibles, longer benefit vesting schedules, later retirements, reduced post retirement medical benefits, elimination of COLAS, etc. He private sector largely completed these cuts over the past 10 years to remain competitive and reduce the need for layoffs but the public sector has delayed the inevitable and are still relying primarily on layoffs rather than changing the price hey pay for labor. The unions can blame themselves for the result, not the Governor.

    New Jersey just sent a man to prison for 7 years for having an unloaded gun locked in the trunk of his car! This sorry State won’t even allow private citizens to self-protect. What a bunch of lefty losers.

    TANSTAAFL, people. Take back your government, your streets. Arm yourself. Be STRONG AMERICANS AGAIN !
