I agree with you. Did this guy do something bad? Absolutely. Does he deserve the punishment that's coming to him? I think he does. However the media has a bias they way they treat black criminals and white criminals.

We've all seen it. When a white person shoots up a school, the first question that's asks is something like "what drove him to do such a thing?" or "he must have had some issues at home." It's never the same vitriol that we see to describe a black person when he commits an even lesser crime.

Reply to Is it possible to sightsee the Statue of Liberty with a 2.5 hour layover at the EWC Airport? by LikeJambaJuice

No. A 2.5 hour layover is really a 1.5 hour layover considering international flights board 1 hour before the scheduled departure.

Liberty State Park would be the best view for the statue and that would be a 30-40 ride in Friday rush hour traffic. That's 1 hour and 20 minute round trip. Once you get back to the airport, you then have to go through security again, at Newark Airport, on a Friday when everyone want to get out of town for the weekend.

There's no chance you can make it to the statue and back in time.

Reply to Who remembers the Star Ledger comics? by johnmflores

When I was a kid, the Sunday Star ledger costed $.35. My mom would give me $.50 every Sunday to walk to the local corner store, at the time it was called Stop 1. I would keep the change and bought candy with the remaining $.15.

Over the years the price of the Sunday paper went up and up and up. From $.35, then to $.50, then to $.75, etc. But one thing that didn't change, there was always the Sunday comics section.

I would read them religiously every Sunday. I also had the weird idea to save them thinking they would hold value someday. I was never into regular comic books because I couldn't really afford them at the time but the one thing I was consistent with was reading the Sunday comics.
