Last time, police came from all over the state, many from the nearby drill. You can find videos of the parking lot from back then, it was absolutely full of emergency response vehicles, but why? If I remember correctly, that area is actually supposed to be a nicer area, but can't say for sure as I've never been there nor do I plan to, lol. |

But being in north Jersey, no matter how nice the town is, its still a short drive from some kind of ghetto. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57037612 That was kind of the impression I got about the area last time around and it seems none of that comes into play in either case, as the supposed shooter last time was middle class white kid. And this time around, there's an evacuation and SWAT team response for a car on fire in the parking lot? On a side note, the November event was only weeks after the highly publicized mass casualty terror event at an upscale Westgate mall in Kenya. |
