So crime in a town is uniquely the fault of the mayor? I mean your headline refers to it as the mayor’s teen crime epidemic… more gratuitous and unnecessary shots. Crime is crime, he’s not ENCOURAGING it, despite your obvious implications.
Bottom line: Should have at least 1 police officer at each casino. Security incapable?
The NJ Juvenile Justice system and their reforms…most likely these juveniles will not see jail time.
You can not blame the Mayor it’s the Parent’s that need to be held accountable.
How does the article have anything to do with Mayor Small? Find someone else to target and blame.
Today, on the beach at Washington Ave in Margate, I witnessed an unhinged Margate beach tagger, likely a 15-year-old female, while on-duty berate and use profanity against groups of beach goers.
This was in earshot of people with small children.
So, is the antisocial behavior of that particular juvenile beach tagger the fault of Margate Mayor Michael Collins?
Same logic.
Yes! I saw the beachtagger at Washington Ave beach. Disgrace. Embarrassment to Margate. Wish I had videotaped her to send to beach patrol. And yes, by all accounts, the fault of Margate’s Mayor if you apply the articles logic as to Mayor Small.
