Newark police closed 15 non-essential businesses and issued 161 summonses to people accused of violating governmental orders designed to combat the coronavirus, authorities said Tuesday.

The tickets are further proof that authorities won't tolerate "knucklehead gatherings," Gov. Phil Murphy said.

"I don't know why people are not thinking about themselves," NJ State Police Supt. Col. Patrick Callahan said during the governor's daily news briefing . "At least think about the first responders. When law enforcement has to go to a large gathering, (they) are exposing themselves, as well.

I am beginning to see why New York and New Jersey are Coronavirus hotspots. Lucky there are bad a*s governors like Cuomo and Murphy to lay down the law.. /S

authorities won't tolerate "knucklehead gatherings,"

So then no Dem National Convention? That's a big development.

[sheehan]

illegals exempt of course.

Knuckleheads gonna knuckle!

Newark, what a dump!
So the police can’t deal with the persistent very high crime rates but have plenty of time to harass businesses for opening their doors?

Did they tell them, “Now scram, see? Show your mugs again and we’ll throw in the hooscow! Beat it!”

[BradyLS]

Them and middle-eastern peace pilgrims.

They should have just claimed they were looking for an abortion clinic.

Who's going to try these people, and when? (Or should we just throw them in jail without a trial?)

Don't judges, juries, attorneys, and police officers have better things to do than to go after such "criminals" as these?

Opening a business the government deems "non-essential"?

The horror!

Yet "essential" abortion clinics continue to operate unabated.

Re “tolerating knuckleheads”. The stupid Democrat bastards in New Jersey elected the biggest ones as governor and senator.

Shit! I miss the Mafia already. They knew how to solve the “knucklehead problem”.

[Jeff Chandler]

Ye-ah, how’d you like a knucklehead sandwich?

[TigersEye]

Are we talkin’ pig’s knuckles or ... ?

Take a look at Lakewood, NJ. It's nearly 100% Hasidic Jews. There have been 17 incidents where the Lakewood PD has had to break up and arrest Hasidic Jews who were in groups of 40 to 50 celebrating weddings out in the middle of the street. Their defense was their rabbis told them that since they were ‘’believers’’ they wouldn't contract Covid-19. It was only for Gentiles and non believers.

I talk to my local cops here in California the beginning of this and they said they’re not gonna tell anybody to do anything no matter what politicians tell them to do

They said it’s a different story if Martial law is ordered

[BigJimSportCamper]

So punish lockdown violators but release convicted felons. Genius.

Thanks for the local inside information.
