I am anxiously awaiting for a
statement from our "Leaders" regarding the Short Hills, N.J. shooting of the young lawyer in front of his wife at the upscale mall several nights ago. Wonder where they got the guns? I thought N.J. was on top of this gun violence thing?

Sounds just like what is going on increasingly in the U.K.

There won't be a media follow up. They made arrests and that'll be the end of it. Don't fit the liberal cast of "crime." Joe

It's very difficult for me to express what I think about this case without violating the rules here.
The "it-can-happen-anywhere-crowd" is already hard at work telling us to ignore the elephant in the room...and I find that almost as outrageous as the crime itself.
I hope justice is done...eventually...some way...

I wonder in NJ had a "stand your ground " law and concealed carry; and the young gentleman had exercised his option to protect himself and his wife would there be a different spin on it?

My take on the story was he was ambushed. A gun will not help if you are shot four times before you know there is an attack going on. It was a sad ('outrageous') story.
Edit: For Beemerguy and truth.

With all due respect, I would substitute the word 'outrageous' for the word 'sad' in your post.
When someone dies after an illness, or is killed accidentally, that's sad. What happened here was an outrage, the kind of thing that would have been unthinkable in this country only a half-century ago.
As the father of two sons who are about the same age as the victim, I cannot imagine how his family feels. And the more I think about this crime, the reality of it, and the social and political conditions that made it possible, the angrier and more upset I become...

He let his wife in the vehicle and was walking around to his door. I can't believe he had zero awareness. I think he was "hoping" to get in and drive off before they moved on him. Armchair quarterbacking is easy for us but if he was packing it could have turned out differently. Joe

you have a long wait on your answer from the authorities or any of the usual news organizations I think.

I say that this a Race crime. If it was the other way around their would be plenty of news covering this murder.
