BROTHER SOLDIER ON THE HOME FRONT

Brother Soldier

Published by Garden Park Productions at Smashwords

Rare insightful glimpses into the New Jersey's Star Ledger's News Blog named NJ.COM. A forum on news articles concerning Politics and the lives of ordinary New Jersey citizens as seen through the blog comments of one of their own, Brother Soldier.

A book of practical advice and thoughtful comments, some humorous, some angry, some sad, but all served with a generous helping of uncommon sense; makes for great reading. Each post just gets better and better, in a Will Rodgers type of way.

BROTHER SOLDIER: ON THE HOME FRONT

Various Newspapers throughout America have put up Blogs on their websites as a means for their readers to comment on and discuss the numerous actions and non- actions of their fellow citizens that make the news. In New Jersey there's only one major newspaper and that newspaper is The Star Ledger, so New Jersey's entire population of over eight million (8,000,000) citizens eventually gather around the water cooler at http://www.nj.com to discuss the day's events in their various cities and towns. Even through the ordinary citizen doesn't even think about it, blogs are an excellent instrument in gauging the public's response to Governmental policies and other individual actions. Throughout the state of New Jersey, public opinions in the blog at NJ.COM have galvanized civilian response and actions in favor of or against numerous situations such as for example, plan’s by Newark's present Mayor Cory Booker to create an Municipal Utility Authority.

There are just too many life events in New Jersey on the state and local levels that affect the ordinary citizen to be listed here, and there's no way to print nor would anyone want to read (except for us and maybe some others), the hundreds of thousands of comments made, as some bloggers spend hours on the site, seemingly to see how many posts they can accumulate. So we sought to find a blogger that seemed to be in the middle of public opinion (neither right nor left) and one that could stand up for his or her own convictions. We found that blogger in brosoldier, however we were a little concerned at first because we found that he would never personally attack back even when personally attacked for his views by other bloggers, but we soon discovered that he could fight back, but this was done on a level of reasoning that we now identify as and call UNCOMMON SENSE. He just hits his adversaries upside the head with his replied reasoning and leaves him or her wondering, what just happened?. When they realize that their views have been rendered defenseless in an open forum, they leave him alone. We collected his comments as we found them to make for excellent reading and we believe you will enjoy them too.

ON THE HOME FRONT

Police name men nabbed after two county chase in Clifton: posted December 17, 2009,5:41PM

They were thieves, but their alibi for being in the neighborhood actually produced a job for which they were going to get paid. After this, Stupidity, Ignorance and Greed should stop hanging out together.

Two men accused of running marijuana farm: posted January 06, 2010, 11:56PM

Obviously the Twittle Brothers (Dee & Dum) were in full view of the public, if they weren't, they wouldn't have been seen. The fact that they had such a brilliant idea means that they got it from someone else. The NPD Narcotics Department will probably not bother to run a helicopter check on all the numerous empty warehouse spaces in the Ironbound. Dee & Dum's trial should be interesting, if they go to trial. I wonder if they will receive community service for the Tech 9.

One person injured in Newark shooting: Victim, suspects flee scene: posted on December 13,2009, 8:15PM

One (1) thing is for certain, nobody hung around because everybody involved was dirty. Unfortunately everyone must now pay closer attention to their surroundings, so that they don't get caught up accidentally in the retaliation that's probably coming.

Three Newark residents charged with kidnapping, robbery outside check cashing store: posted on March 26,2010,1:05AM

Not a Kidnapping - Debt Collection. She thought she wasn't going to have to pay her line of credit in her drug usage. If it was really a kidnapping, she wouldn't have been dropped off at home. She must be a good customer, that's obvious because no one wanted her dead, if they did, she would be dead. People who want to enjoy FREE drugs from their local Dealers are going to have to wait until the Government take it over, but you're going to have to register as an addict if you want free or reduced prices and if you do have to pay, the Sheriff Department will be picking you up if you don't. Your fine will be community service, in the heat and in the cold. The Mexicans will be able to go home because you will be doing the jobs that they say Americans don't want to do. You will help supply free labor as the prison systems are already doing. Get clean, because it's coming.

Teen grazed by bullet in shooting behind abandoned East Orange house: posted on August 18,2010,12:58AM

Witness Protection? It might be in the victims best interests not to immediately go home or back to his old hanging spots. Unless he was abducted, he knows his attempted murderers and now they know that they missed. I wonder if he will honor the Code Of Thugs and not snitch. I'm sure they would appreciate another opportunity to polish up on their marksmanship if their identities are kept hidden. Chances are these young men have done this before because a 7:35pm daylight shooting in the summer shows that they think that they are invincible and can't be caught. They need to be put away

Four teens are charged with assaulting 2 men in Newark park: posted on November 24,2010,2:27AM

UPGRADE TO ADULT STATUS: They wanna act like a man, treat them like a man. Let the rest see what's waiting for them when they try to mimic these actions. Understand this! if an adult kills one of these little punks in trying to defend his or her life, then the adult goes to jail and everybody wanna cry about poor little misunderstood Jamaal; they didn't have to kill him. I'll rather be judged by 12, than carried by 6.

Readington Twp. teen ate cigar with marijuana in it, Raritan Twp. Police report: posted on September 10,2010,1:43PM

TO: blazinblueye, Good observation. I guess he'll just have to wait till it drops. I'm sure that the young man's Lawyer will insist on a verifiable correct weight for the alleged marijuana. So it will most definitely have to be cleaned to accomplish that. I think in all seriousness that the arresting Officer should be made responsible for procuring the evidence since there is a great possibility that the cigar tobacco will give the young man the runs. I believe that if this is done, the next time the Officer will be more thoughtful in making a arrest where the evidence is eaten, and is biodegradable and not contained in plastic. He could have just let the kid go; he was going to be punished enough. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Police arrest three teens in shotgun robbery: posted in October 13, 2009,2:23PM

Even through Newark is New Jersey's largest city, the Police Officers of the City of East Orange seem to be more professional. The size of the City has nothing to do with the proper usage of surveillance cameras and gunshot monitors. Congratulations to the East Orange Police Department. Future lives may be saved tomorrow by what you did today!

Six die in NJ from swine flu during nine day period; total up to 28: posted on November 18, 2009, 9:28PM

WARNING!!!WARNING!!!!WARNING!!WARNING!!!WARNING!! READING COMPREHENSION IS ESSENTIAL BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY CERTAIN PEOPLE IN OUR GOVERNMENT THINK THAT WE"RE ALL STUPID! We have been lead to believe that people with acute illnesses are at risk to contact H1N1 and possibly die, then we're told that obesity, diabetes and asthma are some of the underlying medical conditions that define acute illnesses. WHAT!! IS THIS HOW WE FIND OUT, THRU A CAUSAL MENTIONING IN SOME REPORTER'S ARTICLE. My God, how many people are walking around overweight, has asthma and suffers from diabetes? Maybe one /fifth (1/5) of America? THE CREATOR HELP THOSE WHOM HELP THEMSELVES. I am not a Doctor, these are just suggestions, If you just think you're not feeling right, A tea made with hot water (16 to 22oz) , apple cider vinegar (1/4 cup), sweeten to taste with honey, make and drink as needed.If you're experiencing the tell-tale symptoms, peel 4 to 6 fresh garlic cloves, do not cook, chop up and mix in your food every time you eat (3 meals per day). Consult your Doctor. Pray.

Robbers posing as trick or treater’s arrested in East Orange: posted on November 05,2009,5:33PM

A salute to the people of East Orange who seen their neighbor in trouble and did the right thing. Now I hope the Essex County's Prosecutors Office do the right thing and give at least one of these suspects a PLEA BARGAIN so that he will tell which one of the victim's relatives or friends set him up. This was not an accidental robbery, they knew who he was, who was at home and the fact that he kept hundreds of dollars around; unless this other person is caught (the would be mastermind), this man's life is still in danger.

NJ Lawmaker's call on Congress to halt full-body scanners use amid concerns of privacy, health: posted on November 16, 2010,8:16AM

A very easy remedy to solving this and making people happy will be no problem at all if this advice is followed: Airlines should make special flights available for ANY AND EVERYONE who objects to being screened or body checked because they feel that their privacy is being invaded. PROBLEM SOLVED! I wonder what terrorist group thought this one up concerning your constitutional rights and passed it along with a nice fat bonus fee. This is soooooo stupid.

Cumberland County halfway house resident attempts to escape in cab: posted on March 05,2010,11:10AM

He's in a half way facility and he tries to escape knowing that such an attempt will add years to his sentence?!! Aw, he's in love and don't want to leave.

Thirteen people arrested in NJ illegal prescription drug ring: posted on October 21, 2009,5:46AM

Same problems, different locales. same prisons, same jails.

Eight charged in string of Newark armed carjackings:posted on January 0,2011,4:03PM

LOCATING THE REAL CRIMINALS?! Yes these young men should pay for their stupidity and my post is not in defense of their stupidity. However everyone seems to be missing THE BIG PICTURE. THE BIG PICTURE is who's receiving the stolen cars. What upright citizen is providing revenue for these stolen cars, all the while smiling in his neighbors face and boo-hooing the situation. You don't constantly steal cars unless you have places to sell them at; WAKE UP!!!

Newark robber chases victim into Essex County Sheriffs Building, gets arrested: posted on April 27,2010,11:06PM

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. GOOD!!!

This guy is dangerous because he tried to run his victim down; so let's see if they can find some other charges for this one, because obviously he had intentions of using the knife to subdue his intended victim. The man’s life was probably saved.

NO PLEA BARGAINING HERE

Millburn teen set mother's car on fire with her in it: posted on June 24, 2010, 3:33AM

TO: Bat Boy. He would at least be charged with attempted murder (if he was black)

Trenton woman is charged with trying to enter court house with crack cocaine: posted on January 06, 2011,2:40PM

TO: sammy83 Knowledge as it is said, is golden, so here's some knowledge that you might find interesting. Even through the young lady may state that the drugs were for her own personal use, it wasn't, she's not a user, she’s a courier or dealer. Understand this, NO CRACKHEAD is going to have that much drugs on him or her-self, the lure of the drug won't let them. They would be in a building, abandoned or occupied, smoking their crack until it's all gone; not walking around, being bothered with going into a government building, they would be so paranoid, that they wouldn't forget that they had drugs on them.

FBI sweeps NJ, making corruption arrests: posted on July 23,2009 11:53AM

This is part of the reason why our system is spiraling out of control. Greed always create victims, one way or another. How much money is enough? It's too bad most people don't realize that you're not going to take one dime with you. For an example consider, the Egyptian’s, Howard Hughes, Doris Duke and countless others.

Two men die in Essex County unrelated shootings: posted on October 11, 2009, 11:54PM

A SECRET FOR ALL THE TRIGGER HAPPY YOUNG MEN. Just because you run away doesn't mean you're not going to have to answer one day. What justification will you give to the Judge and jury of your peers as to why you had to take a life. 25 years to life in a cage is a long, long time. THE SECRET is that you took his life away, but dummy, you just gave yours away. Now ask yourself, was it worth it?!!

Newark anti-violence rally focuses on shooting that left Irvington woman on life support: posted on October 09,2009,11:01PM

To The Mayor Of Newark & The Police Director: The solution to all of this is really quite simple. In order to solve any problem, you must deal individually with the various segments of the problem that make up the problem. In other words, every problem is a combination of problems and each must be solved individually, but the key is that they're all linked together. There's your answer!!! Shut it down. Shut it down. Shut it down. You know the areas. Shut them down. Don't let nobody sell nothing. Not an apple, not a pencil, nothing. No jaywalking, no littering, NOTHING, and keep it shut down until the message is clear, If they don't want the aggravation, then they've got to stop the aggravation! Everybody got to eat, this foolishness will cease from the inside out.

Dear taxd2death & bykrbay. The article you are referring to is about a employed woman, who happened to be black, who had the misfortune to be shot.
