SkyFoxHD's Blog

     Well Guys, unfortunately we had to get down to business today after all of the holiday cheer. SkyFox HD was over a double shooting at the Andros Restaurant in the Ironbound District of Newark this morning. Apparently, there was a dispute late last night at  Newark social club between two bouncers and two other men that were refused entrance into the club. The two bouncers again encountered the two men in front of the Andros Diner on Wilson Avenue at about 3:30am. The dispute then became physical and shots rang out. One of the bouncers was fatally wounded and the other suffered "non-life threatening" injuries.
     This is the 97th homicide in the city of Newark this year compared to 104 for the same period in 2006. What has the world come to when 97 homicides in one year in one mid-sized city is actually an improvement? I have encountered many people from our area that have given up on our inner cities and seem to accept these incidents as part of life there and I think that is sad. I do not  have the answers to the problems that plague our society but I am a firm believer that if ordinary citizens like you and I begin accepting these unfortunate events as part of modern life we are doomed.
