Newark New Jersey Is a War Zone
Hot Air ^ | 1 June 2026 | David Strom

Posted on 06/01/2026 6:15:27 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Over the past two weeks, there have been nightly and escalating riots at the Delaney ICE Detention Center.

Massive resources have been poured in by outside NGOs funded by leftist billionaires, foundations, Neville Singham, and the Chinese Communist Party. Protesters from around the country have assembled there, expensive riot gear provided to the activists, and even scripts given to selected spokespeople to push out a carefully constructed message.

As in Minnesota, local politicians have been backing the rioters, insisting that they are only using their First Amendment right to protest, even if that means assaulting officers, lighting fires, stealing from local businesses, dismantling public property to turn the rubble into weapons, and demanding that officers kill themselves, or threatening to kill them and their families.

Even if these Antifa idiots weren’t rioting in Newark, in normal times downtown Newark looks like war zone.

A number of years ago, I was working on an IT conversion at the Federal Courthouse in downtown Newark, for 3-4 nights in a row we didn’t leave the site until after midnight.

We were told when we left if we stopped at a red light and anyone approached our car, run the light and get out of there.

So Newark is the new Minneapolis.

Arresting does nothing. I am thinking more along the lines of heavy horse cavalry, a cattle stampede, as many personnel canines as you can find, water cannons, or the more permanent solution live fire.

Nothing good happens after midnight in Newark. When the NJ Devils would go into overtime, the area around the arena where all the parking is clustered, is flooded with LE and the helo is usually overhead.

You go to your car or Penn Station (2 blocks away) and get the F out of Dodge. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Leave. Promptly.

A couple of biker gangs can take care of this problem.

I ended up driving through Newark in the middle of the afternoon one time a few years ago. We got stopped at a traffic light on a side street where it intersected McCarter Highway. There were ferals everywhere, walking between the cars, shouting, and generally carrying on the way ferals do. Couldn’t wait for the light to change so I could get out of there.

“Neville Singham”. In days gone by, this guy would be hanging from a rope. (If he could be retrieved from the Chicoms.)

I remember myself and 2 other guys I was working with had to load up in a car of one of the local guys we were working with , he would drive us maybe 50 yards across the street to our car and warn us to get the hell out of there and don’t let anyone approach the car.

After midnight, it was a 3rd world country, hookers all over the place, needles in the street, a couple of dead animals laying in the gutters, and a Federal Courthouse....crazy.

I’m pleasantly surprised that the New Jersey state and local governments are cooperating with ICE to arrest protesters. Homan is doing a great job of depoliticizing ICE enforcement in Blue States and give the Devil her due - Mikie Sherrill could have used this as a Leftist career building moment to grandstand and refuse to cooperate. Despite the “war zone” sensationalism spin of the article, this actually is good news that we have arrests in a Blue State. Hopefully it continues.

What America needs is some backshooting Luigis to take out these murdering New Joysey “neighbors” dressed up like Palestinians with Pizza place tablecloth hats.

Water cannons are pretty effective... And when you use them there is the added benefit of giving these dirty hippy protestors a much needed shower... Most of them haven’t touched water in months.

A lot of inner cities are hellholes. I remember when going downtown was fun. I remember how my grandmother, who spoke little English, used to take the bus by herself and go downtown. She did not have to worry for her safety.

But that’s gone now. The civilization we had is gone in our once-great cities. Downtowns are owned by street savages. Civilized people are not welcome there and risk their lives going there.

Personally, if in charge, I would be using gatling guns with
very hard rubber rounds, backed up with water cannons.

Let it burn! When the NJ taxpayers get sick of it... we can have a real conversation.

In the mean time, they are just yelling into their echo chamber
