Both states.

Palestine and the USA or Palestine and Israel?

You have got to be ****ing kidding me...

I was the Architect for a remodeling of a Chase bank in Paterson. Every time I would go there for meeting I felt like I needed body armor.

The walls surrounding the teller line have 1/2" Kevlar panels in them lol.

That's nice and sometimes I feel the same way. But it seems somewhat off base for anyone who works in such an intensely crime ridden leftist city, one residing in an officially blue state, to talk of the dysfunction over the bridge. Or would you disagree?

Well it's really not that complicated in this case. He is a Philly cop who works in a progressive, ultra-democratic, ultra-crime ridden and overtaxed city which happens to reside in a blue state (as in voted anti-gun Obama via union sellout or blatant stupidity, your choice).

So beside the point of the terrible environment of his democrat ruled and enabled work enviornment there is also the very real threat that the likes of another Pat Toomey or two will decide to share their newfound enlightenment. Then, surprise surprise, we have the next Colorado in 5 years or less.

Bottom line is that neither he nor any other PA resident, of which I used to be myself, should be pointing fingers.

You have a lot of nerve to spew that from your abomination of a city. Brother.

More finger pointing from within the glass house bullshit.

As dysfunctional as my side of the bridge may be we are still a shall issue state with minimal interference of are personal freedoms. Blue state means nothing out side of Philly or Pittsburgh as everyone knows PA is a Gun friendly, beautifully historic place to live or visit. As to Pat Toomey lets see how he fares in his next election.

You may say glass house but I say its just Jersey's reflection your seeing in the Delaware River.

PA I can't argue that my home state isn't sound criteria for criticism by any means, but we both know that your fine and beautiful state (mean that sincerely except for Philly) is now on the fence regarding further restrictions and was pivotal in putting Obama in office. Especially after CO I just don't see how you guys can still feel so comfortable ridiculing when the ground which you yourself walk has been clearly verified to be unstable.

This post is so ludicrous it's almost got to be a set up, so I'll tread carefully. First off it was not the capitol building. One could be tempted to assume you were more content to make fun of others than actually learn basic geography in school, but maybe you really just don't know much overall.

Second I don't remember seeing any armed black panthers at our voting stations, do you? And isn't it great that they got away with scott free in Philly, even though they were being filmed and everyone knew about it? Something to be proud if there.

Then there's the fact that the entire city is now crime ridden and the streets are filthy with trash. As usual. It is the honest truth that even Camden has far cleaner streets than "Philthadelphia".

I could go on and on but have things to do. Point is, in case you're intersted in anything beyond baseless conflict, that PA (and very certainly Philly), are full of imperfections as well. The democrats have the upper hand and the clock is ticking on your gun law timeline.

But why worry about all those very serious problems when you can look for neighbors across the bridge to degrade, right?

Oh, I'm sorry, city hall building.

Even after you wasted all that energy typing, I'll still take the dirty crime ridden Philly streets over a city who allows a terrorist group to fly their flag over city hall.

You're a sensitive little boy aren't you? Yes you are!

And to be clear, I don't care much about Philly. It's an overrun of stupidity from Jersey. About the only good thing left in Philly is Geno's and that's stretching it.

Just the fact that they did it at all is terrible. No surprise however it happened in one of our cities because I as bad as this state can be, and yes David I know it can be embarassingly bad, that wouldn't "fly" in any suburb I can imagine. This is why the big cities become long-term killers. They destroy themselves and then the cancer spreads.

PA was right about what he said, it's just that especially coming from someone in Philadelphia it was simply hypocritical. Still it was a bad move and as a resident I should take the time to write them a letter of discontent. Not much but better than nothing I guess.

I'm with you here...I'd like to see how the flag was flown in relation to the US Flag. If it was flown higher than the US Flag (not that it should have even flown at all!), then those that flew it should be shot for treason.

Thats over simplified. In fact a large chunk of the city is and has been cleaned up. If you live or have lived in Philly and remember Frankford and Gerard ave then you know what a war zone that was. When i moved here in 88 that was already a bad bad place. In mid 90s that whole area was a no go. Dilapidated buildings, violence, drugs, death. Now its 30 something yuppies renting $3k/month one bedroom apartments. The area has been rehab'd and is spreading out. What were once crack houses and abandoned building are now coffee shops, restaurants, and apartments & houses. The corner of Gerard and Frankford had a old abandoned warehouse now its a German style beer garden.
South st and Old City are clean and nice. The old row houses in Old City fetch millions and date back to the 17 and 18 hundreds. All of the far NE is free from violence and is about 90% Russian immigrants.

Next time im down there I'll take some photos.

While the gesture is appreciated there is no need. I don't hate the city and don't want to be here slamming it. The appropriate reply to PA Patriot would have been to say that while the incident is deplorable it in no way represents the vast majority of residents in this state. But of course everybody likes to take shots at NJ so I have no clue what I think I was trying to fix.

I doubt there would be a prosecution , but it could certainly be used as a tool to make sure the ass clown who allowed it, is never re-elected to a public office.

The elected officials that continue to allow this madness need to be identified, scorned and thrown out of office.

Good luck up there.

It was raised and flew as stated. Also was the only flag on the solitary pole, so no American flag was visibly present. This is a mobile link but may work for everyone, not sure. Flag goes up at 3:30.

It gets under the skin of many so don't feel alone. Not just nationwide and not just in NJ, but specifically that area where many had friends and relatives die on 9/11. I've decided not to send anything to Paterson because they are a lost cause in that building for now. Maybe the governor will appreciate some public feedback regarding the incident however.

Yeah I know I'm not alone with this, but the fact that we live in a society where this would even be considered is very telling. Flying a nation's flag over a US gov building that is neutral or even friendly to the US still shouldn't be done IMO....much less a nation that has known ties to terrorism.

As for contacting your governor, I may do that, but should probably first let my blood temperature return to normal.

That is how I feel about it. I don't wish to see any political entity flag except that of the States or the USA.

I'm aware that many, if not most will take exception to it.

This.

My family comes from Germany back in the 20/30s, I don't want to see a German flag flying over ANY government building. I don't have a flagpole in my yard but if I did I wouldn't fly the German flag.

During WWII my grandfather (15th AAF) bombed the shit out of Germany. Like him, I am an American. I'm not a German-American, I'm not a European-American.

If I had a flagpole, the only second flag I'd fly below the US flag would be a POW-MIA flag. I'd consider a Gadsen but I wouldn't want to get investigated by the IRS.

Safetyhit,

I don't hate NJ in any way as I truly enjoy what the state has to offer in its fisheries, produce, ocean side entertainment and occasional flea markets. What I comment on is the truly off the wall events which seem to only occur in NJ. Sure things happen on my side of the river also but if we can't poke fun or a disdaining comment from time to time without offense then why have a discussion board at all. My time in Philly is extremely limited and if NJ didn't have such screwed up gun laws and taxes I would have considered several locations on your side of the river.

Life is too short to take everything so seriously and its obvious you have pride in your state but sometimes one just has to look at certain crazy local events and say "Dam" I have to give this one to the complainers.

Thanks PA for taking the time and certainly no hard feelings. Just please remember that when you see such dysfunction originate from within one of our crappy cities, take a moment to also remember that just as Philly politicians do not represent the whole of Pennsylvania neither do these clowns in Paterson represent either myself or any single one of my suburban neighbors white, black or hispanic.
