Cory Booker @ Crime Press Conference

Mayor Cory Booker speaks at a press conference discussing efforts being made to reduce crime in Newark.

Speakers include Essex County Prosecutor, Paula T. Dow; President and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Essex, Carlos Lejnieks; and Executive Director of Stop Shooting Inc., Yusef Ismail.

"Point the finger at those who are involved in these crimes", Essex County prosecutor PAULA T. DOW encourages. Well, if we're talking about the crime of false witness & cryptic, evil, secret society attempts to steal a nearly middle aged man's life and identity, then I'm more than happy to help. PAULA T. Dow could remind of comedian WANDA SYKES, who was born March 7, 1964 in PORTSMOUTH, VA. The date 3/7 mirrors the number 37, reminding that people born in Dec. 1971 were 37 years old in AUG. 2009

i would like to metor a child but the told me i had a record what can i do.

of course, not all at the same time and not all summer. but for a week or 2, lets show them hope and skills they can use in life. if u notice, most of the crime commited in the summer is by young people w/ nothing to do. lets help fill that void. thanks!

instead of letting them go into the system. lets help them out! we should have a kind of mandatory camp for kids in school in the summertime. i know we have the fresh air fund but, that's not enough. lets do that on a grander scale! the fresh air fund is usually corolated to the back of the county section of the star ledger. lets get it on a national level and start now, so that by next summer, almost all of our kids can go to camp and see what its like outside the city.

most of our young people in newark are being raised by single parents and most of them can't be around to watch them due to work and other constraints of life. alot of the single parents arent even really parents anyway. the play the role, and play it sometimes even better than the real parents but, alot of them are grandparents who should be relaxing in their later years and now, cause of circumstances they have no control over, stepped up to the plate and are taking care of their grandkids,

thanks for tweeting me this video and i didn't even know u had a youtube channel i could subscribe to. anyway, why the press conferences after the fact? why not b4 something happens? i am born/raised in newark. i belong to a positive community/family oriented club in newark and the thing we find out is needed most, is a mentor and/or something to do when there is no school or after school/weekends/summers/vacati­ons.

I used to live in Newark... I've visited a few times and I must say, it looks TEN TIMES better than what I left... I know the bloods and crips and taking over and but hopefully people will wake up and realize that these gangs are doing nothing but killing each other and enslaving our youths, preventing them from reaching their potential. Anyways, I must say things do look a lot better for Newark...
