    We just spoke with their guidance counselor from HS, everyone is so upset. It's just so senseless. I don't know what can be done. You can't close down a city. Are cerfews the answer? Stronger police presence?

    That's awful. I really hope they catch the people who did this. I don't know what would help. I like in a city where the police are constantly sending out emails (via our school) about being careful of this or that criminal or crime, but spend most of their time writing parking & jaywalking tickets. I think better police presence would be a start.

    I know some cities have had luck by reviving and updating the center city area-someone commented on the article about East Orange having high tech cameras that respond to gunshot sounds. I believe a couple of cities have had some success with better lighting and generally cleaning up of storefronts and streets. I'm sure there's some psychological explanation, but I've heard that people behave better in a more pleasant environment.

    I wish I knew what could work, 'cause I hate seeing my state go to heck. We even have the murder capital of the country!

    Terrance still had one more installment of his scholarship due to him. I'm trying to find out if we can give it to the family or give it to his sister. She also received a scholarship from us but it's been paid in full. Hopefully she'll recover and return to school after this whole mess is sorted out.

    40 years since the riots. The former mayor screwing the city for the last 20 years. The scars run deep for Newark no matter how much revitalization is put into it, that's just the cosmetic, it's the city's soul that needs to be administered too, starting with the gangs.

    That is so sad. These nice kids with bright futures gunned down like this. I get especially disturbed when people younger than me die. I really hope they catch who did this. All too often in these instances people "don't see" anything.

    It's great that the family has people who care about them in so many ways. I hope you're allowed to give the money to the family somehow.

    I agree about Newark. I grew up in & around 2 smaller cities in NJ and the revitalization does help, but one of them having a better mayor helps a lot as well.

    My condolences. Unreal how they're promoting some parts of Newark like the area near the NJPAC and the new Prudential Center to be a place to visit, when senseless killings still take place.

    Wait, I'm confused... did 3 or 4 people die? The story keeps changing.

    Edit: OH! I get it now... man, those first few paragraphs are a bit of a mess.

    I'm sorry.

    Senseless violence will continue unchecked in communities where young people earn more peer respect for going to jail than they do for going to college...

    I found out we can send the balance of scholarship money to the family. The check request has been sent to accounting.

    Now, to write the letter to his mother that will accompany the check. I've written thousands of letters in my life, but none like this. Jeeze I don't even know where to start.

    Also they've arrested 3 people, and adult and 2 minors and are looking for 3 more.

    I am glad that the perpetrators are being caught. How much money did over half a dozen people hope to get from the shooting of 4 kids? Why not just rob a liquor store or bank? I'm sure these kids didn't have much cash on them. And what are people in their late twenties and thirties hanging out with 15 year olds?

    I wouldn't know where to start either-that's a very hard letter, but it sounds like you care about these kids a lot. They are lucky to have school staff on their side, so they can have the resources to go on after horrible stuff like this.

    I don't mean to minimize this 'personal' tragedy in any way, but ...


    (snip)"By now you have heard about the three young college students who were murdered execution-style in Newark, N.J., last week. Another student was shot in the head but survived.

    What you might not have heard is that the shooter in this horrendous crime was in the country illegally.

    This was not his first vicious crime. He was indicted last month for raping a five-year-old girl repeatedly over a four-year period and threatening to kill her family.

    And 10 months ago, he was charged with assaulting patrons in a bar.

    A career criminal whose illegal status, Fox News reports, the authorities have known since his prior arrests.

    A murderer who, despite all these facts, was still free on a Saturday night to line up four young people in a Newark schoolyard and shoot them in the head.

    At the funeral of one of the young victims, Newark Mayor Cory Booker pounded the coffin and shouted, "Enough is enough!"

    He was more right than he knew.

    The War Here at Home

    There is a war here at home, and it is even more deadly than the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Far more Americans are being killed by violent, evil people here in America than in our official military "combat zones" overseas.

    The truth is, all too many Americans are being killed. But what is so completely senseless is having the lives of three young, achieving students cut brutally short by someone who not only should not have been in the United States in the first place but also, after two previous arrests for violence, should not have been on the streets. Instead, the suspected killer should have been in jail awaiting trial, sentencing, prison and eventual deportation.

    Another case in point: Authorities are now seeking an additional suspect in the Newark killings -- yet another suspected illegal alien.

    The second suspect is a Nicaraguan national who was ordered deported in 1993 but clearly never left. He, too, has a long record of arrests for violent crimes going all the way back to 1999.

    New Jersey was already recently in the news for its failure to protect its citizens from illegal aliens when the federal government arrested six would-be terrorists for plotting to kill U.S. soldiers at Fort Dix. We soon learned that three of them had been illegally in the U.S. for 23 years, during which they had been charged by the New Jersey police more than 75 times. And still, our government never discovered they were here illegally.

    Now the failure of our government to determine if a criminal is here illegally and to detain him has played a role in the execution-style killing of three young college students and the shooting in the head of a fourth student.

    The Government of the United States Is Not Protecting the People of America

    Yet the problem is by no means confined to New Jersey.

    Mayor Booker cannot protect the people of Newark if the government of the United States is not protecting the people of America.

    The federal government's incompetence, timidity and uncoordinated efforts to identify and deport criminal illegal aliens have had devastating consequences for innocent Americans.

    While Fox News has reported that immigration authorities knew that the Newark shooter was here illegally, the Newark Star Ledger quoted Mark Ali, head of the Essex County Prosecutor's child abuse unit, who "questioned whether immigration officials would have taken any action to detain [the shooter] even if they had been notified of his prior arrests."

    Ali told the Star Ledger: "In 19 years, I have called immigration maybe a dozen times, and not once have they come to put a detainer or arrest someone."(snip) from

    (snip)"Gingrich said that President Bush should call Congress back into special session for three days to pass a bill in honor of the slain students.

    The measure should order the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Homeland Security to outsource the development of an identification system to check the legal status of felons and have it up and running by Jan. 1, 2008, he said.

    In addition, it should withdraw federal aid from any city, county or state that refuses to participate in checking the legal status of arrested felons, Gingrich said."(snip)

    Welcome to life in an illegal alien sanctuary city. Ignoring crime is what leads to crime.
