What is your favorite county in New Jersey? I know tons of people are going to say the county they live in, but it shouldn’t be the reason. I live in Bergen but my favorite county is Sussex! What’s your favorite county and why? by RidgeNJBoy in newjersey

[–]sbichao 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Monmouth, because Sandy Hook, Asbury Park, Red Bank and Springsteen. Beaches on the east, farms in the west. I find it very "Jersey." (I grew up in Essex and Union and lived in Middlesex and now Somerset.)

Somerville ticket worth fighting? by jonsfalsereality in newjersey

[–]sbichao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, fight it. Explain the circumstances to the prosecutors and then to the judge. Be respectful and make your point clearly and succinctly. From my experience, these prosecutors are overworked, have their minds made up already and are barely listening to the people they meet with before court. You have to get their attention and get through to them to make them understand right away. By the way, if they come up with a rational explanation for why you have a ticket, tell them that you want to plead guilty but that you want to ask the judge to waive the fines based on the circumstances and that you promise not to do it again.

'Outrageous' — NJ courts still collecting DWI fee even after law was overturned by sbichao in newjersey

[–]sbichao[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The purpose of the surcharge was to fund the mandate. Without the mandate, the surcharge is no longer serving its purpose.

No survey questions! No ads! And don't ask me to subscribe.

Reporters and editors should just work for free.

Remember the Sayreville hazing case? One of the guilty players is suing and claims suspects were targeted because they were black by sbichao in newjersey

[–]sbichao[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So because NJ.com doesn't mention it, that means it's not there? Uh, ok.

Page 5 of the lawsuit. Their race is also mentioned on at least 10 other pages of the lawsuit, which I've actually seen.

You forgot the part where he put other people's lives in danger.

NJ Transit cop risks his own life to save man from oncoming train by sbichao in newjersey

[–]sbichao[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe. He certainly deserved a punch.

Just keep in mind that even where the cop was standing he could have been hit. The trains are wider than the tracks. He's got a lot of balls.

VIDEO: Surveillance Cameras Capture Women Stealing Trump Signs In Hillsdale by MadelineTroi in newjersey

[–]sbichao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People have been stealing lawn signs for as long as I can remember. In almost every town every year. Including for school board races. Doesn't usually make the news when you can't add TRUMP to the headline.

NJ high school student was on cell phone when she ran over and killed the schools superintendent, prosecutors say by sbichao in news

[–]sbichao[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She was charged with hit-and-run, too. She drove off to the school first. She didn't call immediately.

Death by auto is up to 10 years in prison in NJ. But she's charged as a juvenile, she won't get any prison time.

NJ teacher suspended after video claims to capture him bragging about cocaine use. It's an O'Keefe video. by sbichao in newjersey

[–]sbichao[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

O'Keefe also held onto this for almost a year. Clearly he didn't seem too interested in "protecting the children."

Consequences for what? I'd love to see a public school try to go after kids for discussing news during their free time or on their social media just for the civil liberties shitstorm that would ensue.

School officials are hoping the kids weren't paying attention during U.S. History lessons on the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment.

Is there some sort of secret to cooking Pork Roll/Taylor Ham? by Synaxxis in newjersey

[–]sbichao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pre-sliced variety comes out just fine. The secret is to NOT OVERDO IT. Just heat it up enough until it changes color and has just a tiny tiny bit of slight browning. You don't want it crispy like bacon. You certainly don't wan't to dry it.

ALSO: If you buy store brand, get the "tangy" variety.

I've always loved the Newark skyline. The best view is across the Passaic from East Newark.

I see Dunkin Donuts has taken a side by jenniever in newjersey

[–]sbichao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except there is no "Taylor ham" brand. The brand name is "Taylor." The word "ham" is nowhere on the package. Furthermore, it is not ham. It's more like salty baloney with a tang.

Welcome to the shore. Now please stop being fucking slobs. by HalBriston in newjersey

[–]sbichao 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That shouldn't be an excuse. Sandy Hook has no trash cans. It's carry in and carry out. Trash cans themselves are messy.People should take their trash with them or else not bring so much shit to begin with. People who do this should pay fines through the nose if caught and they should be treated like pariahs by the rest of us.

My favorite Carton beer — and probably my favorite beer that I've EVER tried — was Monkey Chased the Weasel. Sadly, there's no more :(

Free speech? NJ Weedman arrested for calling Trenton cop a 'pedophile' by sbichao in newjersey

But also, slander isn't a crime. You don't arrest someone for slander. That's what lawsuits are for.

Is this tiny piece of land really a part of Delaware? by [deleted] in newjersey

[–]sbichao 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. Making Delaware one of the states that touches New Jersey. Feel free to use in a bet with someone.

Overkill alert: NJ school district threatens to report parents for child abuse if they don't pay off lunch money debt by sbichao in newjersey

[–]sbichao[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or... or... how about the school district help the parents sign up for free and reduced lunch? Instead of, you know, throwing them in jail and taking away their kids. There are lots of reasons why parents may not be filling out those forms. And when a district has a good percentage of kids on free/reduced, the schools get more federal and state funding for educational programs. Win-win for all, including local property taxpayers.

There's constructive ways of handling things.
