Perhaps the "outrage" is strictly related to the number of different posts about the alleged incident and their prominence (prominent position on web page and number of days in prominent position). Maybe too that none of the instigators live in either Ridgewood or Glen Rock.
As you've indicated, a brawl involving "nobodies" would, in all likelihood, not be covered so extensively.
Thanks for the reply.

Oh please now.
You and I both know that if just us common folk were involved in such a dispute, the media coverage would not be this extensive.
Give your readers some credit for knowing what the score is.

ReplyThe library staffer who witnessed the incident and the Ridgewood PD officers who responded and quickly detained this individual should be commended for their efforts in keeping our children safe.

What in your opinion makes our current Village Manager the "worst manager we have ever had, period?"

On the article Mayor: Zero Percent Tax Increase Within Reach

Winning isn’t always everything. Sometimes how you play the game does indeed make a difference (case in point, Lance Armstrong).
Achievement of a zero percent tax increase through use of “found money,” which potentially puts the Village at risk in the event of an emergency (e.g., natural disaster), was, in my opinion, a very short sighted, politically motivated move.
It was a Band-Aid solution as opposed to a long term, health management plan (which is what I believe was promised during last year’s campaign).

Very poor planning by Village Council members.
They should have not engaged in a public discussion of this topic until all members were provided with copies of the following:
1) Meeting minutes from 6/13/2012 Village Council Public Meeting and any closed session meeting minutes during which this topic was discussed
2) Resolution approved during 6/13/2012 Village Council Public Meeting
3) Position paper from Village Attorney concerning the legality of Mr. Riche's firm doing business with the Village
4) Signed purchase order(s) associated with approved resolution
5) Signed purchase order(s) associated with emergency replacement of FD phone system
6) Signed memo from VOR network administrator
7) Signed memo from VOR fire chief
The primary reason last night's discussion went so poorly is that preparation for the discussion was virtually non-existent.
