VIPER Targets Essex County Crime

LOL!

LOL!

I wonder how much money was spent coming up with that name.

But, seriously, I hope it has the desired effect. The next step for the gang infected parts of Newark should involve low-flying planes and napalm.

Typical political "action"...all slogan no real difference.

I hope they find "the
Money Train" and don't kill Shane this time.

"V.I.P.E.R.for the Violence Interdiction/Intelligence Prosecution Eradication Recidivism Unit."

What asp thought that one up?

I guess they rejected the Department Of Urban Criminal Habit Eradication/ Baristavillians Against Gangs

Any efforts to curtail gang violence in these areas is welcome. Not only are these crimes dangerous to their own communities, but they cross the borders from Newark, East Orange, and Irvington into Bloomfield, Montclar, etc. Our young people in all these towns need to be free from the fear and intimidation that gangs represent, and their parents (us!) need to know that our families, as well as our property values, are being safeguarded. Let's not worry about what name, clever or otherwise, this unit goes by as long as it does it job and keeps us safe.
