It seems to me that there are an awful lot of people who choose the good over the evil.They are not afraid to work hard and earn their way in this world instead of stealing it.Sliwa and his “gang” are more interested in helping the youth instead of bringing them down with drugs and guns.Why can’t other gangs direct their energy to helping instead of selling drugs and intimidation.There is NO cause,NO social problem,NO racial or religious problems NOTHING…. that can ever justify the killing of INNOCENT people.You cannot win the mind of ANYONE for your cause by murder,drugs and guns.The best protection from retribution from gangs is to unite the good people in your community and fight fire with fire.If this country is to survive and once again become the leader in democracy and freedom.THE GANGS MUST BE ELIMINATED.While gangs roam our streets and corrupt our children we are not free.Remember-THE POLICE CAN ONLY DO WHAT THE CITIZENS LET THEM DO.Take an active roll in your community.

It really bothers me when people bring the gang problem down to good and evil. That’s a simpleton’s logic. No one chooses to be in a gang because they think it is going to be a good and easy life. Such a suggestion is absurd and insulting.

I agree that the code of silence is counter-productive. But it makes little sense for someone to report a crime to a police department which is not capable of protecting them from retribution.

No one will hand a good life to anyone in the ghetto, this is true. But it should be noted that quite often in America, good lives are handed out to people independently of merit. George Bush is the best example. He inherited a good life, full of riches and connections. He has a good life and absurd power, with which he chooses to do evil. And he’s a Christian. So if you want to condemn someone who has an easy life and chooses to do evil in it, then condemn him.

The world is a complicated place and lots of the kids in Newark exist in a corner of it that has little to offer them. Please acknowledge that fact and reality. These guys don’t have any good options to choose between. So don’t tell me that they are choosing the ‘easy’ road. There is nothing easy about their lives.

The change that is needed in Newark and many other cities.IS QUITE SIMPLY to remove the so called code of silence that is preventing the police from doing their job.
Law and order must be everyones priority.Gangs that threaten decent living civilians are made up of cowardly crazy misfits who have no faith in god.The problems facing the big cities will never be solved until the gangs are eliminated.Newark is like the old west with gang members walking the streets with guns and intimidating the elderly and the weak.When you choose to be a gangster you choose EVIL plain and simple,no excuses,YOU made the choice.Nobody is going to hand you an easy GOOD life YOU have to work for it.If you choose evil because it is easier to rob cheat and kill,then you are the weak and lazy one.Newark is not in this mess because of a mayor.Newark is in this mess because of corruption and drugs and gangs protected by all the citizens who refuse to speak up and take action.

This story is so tragic, I can’t rest. What is the solution for Newark, NJ? I’m tiried of hearing the talk. Young men and women are fighting wars in Iraq, when there’s a war right here in our streets. This crime was not only senseless
it was down-right barbaric! I’m hurt simply because the enemy took promising lives, hopes and dreams for friends and families, as well as deterred faith in human kind. This is a real wake up call, change is needed right now! Not tomorrow, next week or next year but right now!

Lara, while Carranza submitted a plea of not guilty — bizarre in the light of his record, but not surprising — his actual guilt or innocence will be determined in a court of law. Let’s hope and pray that he has a fair and thorough trial, and that the administration can catch everyone involved and bring them to justice.

Thanks for your support and prayers.

This really upsets me.That this man turned him self in to the mayor and confessed that hes was involved or maybe the shooter.But the thing is he was plead not guilty and on top of that he has numorous counts of other crimes, he was charged 3 conts of murder and atempted murder and raped a 5 year old girl and hes not GUILTY?????????? That is crazy I think the mayor and the investigators are making a big mistake.SINCE HES NOT GUILTY DOES THIS MEAN HES FREE NOW SO HE CAN RAPE ANOTHER LITTLE GIRL AND KILL OTHER KIDS????? I live in florida ever since i heard about this story ive been thinking about the victims for a week now my heart prayers goes out to the families.

Everyone look at the people who did this. 1) It is not BLACK or BLACK CRIME; that is the best thing about this. 2) IT is not Cory Booker fault. 3) The city of Newark needs people to band together and take back the streets. Once they get the streets back TURN THEM OVER TO GOD. GOD IS THE ONLY THING THAT CAN HELP NEWARK. GOD BLESS NEWARK.

It is good to see that the autorities in Newark are taking
quick action in aprehending these evil murderers.My first impression is that there is a gang run underground in N.J. and they are terrorizing the general population.Many of my aquaintances now living in N,J. refuse to go to the Newark area because of the intimidation by drug sellers and users.
Much stiffer penalties are needed if we ever hope to at least make it difficult for these drug selling scum to continue to destroy the youth of this country.
