I agree one thousand percent. How have they claimed to be a part of the community yet they weren’t aware of this issue? Apparently friends with coach Hurley yet they never knew about his affiliation with this HUGE issue? Ignorance is never an excuse.

I would go further and say that this issue is a statewide issue, even more of a national issue considering the location of the park and significance of the landmarks it overlooks. People come from OTHER COUNTRIES to come to this park and see the statue, let alone people from out of the city and out of state.

Furthermore, it sets a precedent that state land should and could be developed for private use, which shouldn’t be the case as it’s state land for public use. Imagine high point state park having mansions all around obstructing the view? Or if the wetlands in Cheesequake state park in central Jersey were developed into condos or an expansion for the PNC center?

I understand wanting to be fair to them, and it sucks, but associating with this sort of thing that is actively attempting to damage your community, then blaming everyone else for being upset, is the issue. That’s what they have been doing with this situation. Boycotting businesses associated with this group shows others to not risk doing so in the future. That’s how you show the guy he isn’t welcome

The DEP plans to restore wetlands and bring back some of the natural wildlife of the area, not build a stupid fucking stadium and racetrack as a cover to try and seize another part of the park for a golf course. It doesn’t need to be developed. If you want new basketball courts and shit go complain to the city council directly instead of bitching about it online and defending a shit-smear of a human being that wants to take something away from everyone.

I was at the Newport mall this afternoon waiting for the light rail, and there was this 3 year old girl skipping into the wind as I almost blew away. I’ve never felt more inferior than in that moment
