All these car jackings in Newark Unappreciation thread

[Canada Goose]

Nikka East NY is worse than Newark RIGHT NOW. East Ny is it's own special world, just like Far Rock, hell on earth crabs in a barrel type sh*t. I don't think Newark has ever seen anything like The Black Hand. We need some NY cats in this thread, as I only passed through, not a native, so I'm sure someone else could give better insight. East NY is like the only place in New York (to Me the real NYC is South Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens is in the boonies) you can still rent for less than 1K.

ENY being worst than Newark

ENY is one of the roughest neighborhoods in NYC, but worse than Newark? Nah breh, I think you're buggin.

You'll be lucky if you survive 30 seconds there. You're better off staying across the river.

If he visited the area around Walter Rand Transit Center he'd be alright, well during the day at least.

NEWARK — An 18-year-old Weequahic High School student was shot and killed just minutes after leaving the building and another Newark school was placed on lockdown after three men ran into the school and dashed into the principal’s office during a chaotic two-hour period this afternoon, officials said.

The high school student, whose identify was not released, had asked to leave school just before 2 p.m. As he was walking along Aldine Street, a car pulled up and someone inside the vehicle shot him, Mayor Cory Booker and Police Director Samuel DeMaio said during a press conference last evening.

When the teen fell to the ground, someone got out of the vehicle and stood over him, as if to ensure he was dead, DeMaio said, citing witness accounts.

Roughly 30 minutes later and three miles away, three men ran into a school on Muhammad Ali Avenue, apparently seeking shelter from two assailants who were chasing them, prompting a 65-minute lockdown that panicked students and parents, Booker said.

No one was hurt, and no e-mail alert was sent, the mayor said, because officials determined there was no immediate threat to students. However, the lockdown was imposed as a precautionary measure, Booker said.

Invoking recent school tragedies including the massacre in Newtown, Conn., Booker said it is the city’s policy to treat incidents on school grounds very seriously.

"We live in a day and age where we will do dramatic things to ensure the safety of our students," he said. "What triggers (those actions) can be mild incidents, but every incident in and around our schools will be handled with a great degree of caution."

The men apparently burst in through a door that had been left open by a substitute teacher, then ran into the principal’s office, Booker said.

The Muhammad Ali Avenue building houses three schools — Louise A. Spencer, Eagle Academy and Newark Early College High School. Teachers acted quickly once Principal Jennifer Pelligrine triggered the lock down, Booker said, blocking doorways and getting some 700 students in grades K-12 away from the windows.

"We will always be overly vigilant and pro-active when it comes to the safety of our kids," Booker said. School security officers detained the three men and asked the two men believed to be chasing them to leave, Booker said.

District policy calls for parents to be notified of school emergencies, but the city decided not to activate the notification system today because they quickly determined there was no threat to students, Booker said.

No weapons were found, and the three men were interviewed and released, according to DeMaio, who said police also conducted a sweep of the facility as a pre-caution.

Standing outside Weequahic High School after the 18-year-old was shot, South Ward Councilman Ras Baraka said he was outraged a student was killed so close to the building.

"The school is going to be devastated from the death of one of their peers," Baraka said, calling the incident "absolutely crazy."

The killing was a targeted attack, according to Booker, who said investigators have determined a motive but declined to release it.

Valerie Wilson, the school district’s business administrator said counselors will be available today for students shaken by the incidents at both schools.

Amani Shakur, a sanitation worker and friend of the victim’s father, said the 18-year-old was a "bright kid" who enjoyed music and had begun training as a boxer in recent weeks.

"Every summer we lose our children to the same thing," Shakur lamented. "It’s sad."

I'm visiting my cousin in NYC this summer and I'm planning on getting a hotel in Newark since it would be cheaper. This thread has me slightly reconsidering that idea. The hotel I'm looking at is right next to Military Park, around the corner from Seton Hall Law School. What's that area like?

I'll be alone for most of the trip and I'm expecting to walk to Newark Penn Station each day to get to NYC. I'll have to walk back from the station each night but I might drive instead (I hate paying for parking though).

i know someone that grew up in East NY and Crown Heights in the 80s that lives in Newark now and he said that it's way worse now than how Brooklyn was back then..not sure how true that is cause i heard some wild shyt about BK back in the 80s

that's funny because you have folks from the worst parts of nyc scared to go over to newark and you have people from newark that are scared to go to nyc thinking they'll get clipped.

book the hotel across the street from penn station. But, the one near military park isn't bad. The bad parts of newark are in the Southward and central ward.

I'd move out of the entire state altogether if I were you. All your cities are pretty shytty tbh.

i'm saying. all jersey's cities have more ghetto than business area. there's a few that they're building up like jersey city and hoboken but other than that, all jersey's cities are dumps. newark's shytty, atlantic city is shytty, you got trenton where you have the hood, people selling drugs right on the street over from the state house. you have the state troopers in their vehicles guarding the state capitol, state assembly, state museum and that entire block ready to fukk you up like "aren't you supposed to be on the other side of the street where the ghetto is." it makes you wonder wtf is going on up in the state house if there's more of a police presence around the state capitol building than two streets over where you have people just doing whatever. you have the state prison which is right in the middle of the damn neighborhood. for real, i was actually taking pictures of the state prison across the street and the njdoc van pulls up across the street from me and this middle age man in shades holding a shotgun with a k9 pops out the car looking @ me like "i dare you to come across the street". that was stupid of me though because the people in the guard tower probably told him that some suspicious looking man was taking pictures, must have thought i was planning an escape or something. i cruised through there a couple of times and each experience was just more depressing than the last.

those aren't cities. those are suburbs. most of those places are unaffordable if you aren't making a decent amount of money anyway.

as far as businesses, i don't know about that. one thing about jersey though. you need a car to get around because everything is spread out and distant. can't rely on the bus either. people talk about how jersey has a good transportation system and i beg to differ. it's quite shytty.
