PRESS RELEASE-LAKEWOOD COUPLE CHARGED WITH FIVE COUNTS OF
CHILD ENDANGERMENT
Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer and Lakewood Township Police Chief Gregory Meyer announced that on Sunday, March 29, 2020, Eliezer Silber, 37, and Miriam Silber, 34, both of Lakewood, were charged with five counts of Child Endangerment in violation of N.J.S.A. 9:6-1.
On March 29, 2020, members of the Lakewood Township Police Department were summoned to a residence on Alamitos Drive for a report of a gathering of people blocking the street. This gathering was in violation of Executive Order No. 107 signed by Governor Phil Murphy on March 21, 2020, which bans gatherings of individuals, whether they be at weddings, parties, celebrations, or other social events. Upon arrival, Officers discovered a gathering of approximately 40-50 people, including children, on the front lawn and in the street in front of the residence. The Officers ordered the crowd to disperse, and made contact with the owners of the residence, Eliezer and Miriam Silber. Eliezer Silber was charged with Violating Any Rule or Regulation Adopted by the Governor in violation of APP.A: 9-49h, as well as Endangering the Welfare of his five children who were at the gathering. Miriam Silber was likewise charged with Endangering the Welfare of her five children. They are both required to appear at a future court date in Ocean County Superior Court.
“As I have previously stated, it is my sworn duty to protect all of the residents of Ocean County. That obligation applies across the board,” stated Prosecutor Billhimer. “My Office will prosecute any individual who defies or breaks the law, State of Emergency or otherwise. Everyone must respect and follow the law,” the Prosecutor stated. “The men & women of the Lakewood Police Department have done an exceptional job in the face of a public health crisis. Their efforts are commendable,” Prosecutor Billhimer concluded.
The public and media are reminded that all defendants are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
Good. Hopefully the charges will stick and maybe they will obey the laws.
Priscilla Mason I agree
No one is above the law….also putting the lives of lakewood P.D in jeopardy !!! Law of the land or get out !!!
Priscilla Mason would be nice finally

Elisa Delacruz
Misunderstanding of course
There’s not a judge in ocean county that would convict them
fines im sure,lol
It just never ends! ????
Nothing will happen to those poor excuse for people.
Carlos Martinho actually something is happening, they are getting the corona virus and that is a shame, because just like in most of the world. Not everyone in Lakewood is doing this.
Is this a surprise!
Is there a video?
Johnny DePaola of course not
How screwed are they for passover?
Chris Palkowski they aren’t. They will continue to do what they’re doing.
Apparently in an article I read, they’re having a very hard time NOT gathering and being together since that is the basis of their religion.
????♀️ let’s hope the LPD continues the good work to protect those of us that ARE doing what we are supposed to. And we shouldn’t have to suffer on account of ANYONE.
The charges won’t stick, they do what they want, and get “charged” for show!!
Laura Marchesi absolutely agree. Then pay the fine the end.
Laura Marchesi they want to flaunt their behavior in our face.
Laura Marchesi I know someone who worked in our jail when they were being brought in on Medicaid Fraud charges. They weren’t even put in cells like normal people.
Mariah Prokop I know girl, it’s disgusting. I live out in Lakewood and have a 7yr old little boy, and Iam taking all the right precautions and protecting my family the best I can, but the simple truth is, if we were out on the street doing the same shit they are doing, I would be in the county so quick and dyfs would have been called asap! It’s ludicrous that we are living in fear and that community is out there on the street going about their lives as if nothing has changed. The crazy part of all this nonsense is that they arrested and locked up a father for simply expressing his first amendment rights of freedom of speech for simply speaking his mind! Yes, he made threats, but now hes sitting in the county awaiting a hearing. Meanwhile they are releasing thousands of inmates because of this virus, they are only taking violent criminals and such, yet they feel the need to risk a mans health…for what? To make an example out of him?! To prove to the rest of us, what we already know! That there are never any consequences or repercussions for that particular community! It’s absolute and utter bullshit!!!
Laura Marchesi It’s been this way for years. Officials have their greedy pockets lined by that community. Murphy flat out lies in his press releases stating that Lakewood is compliant. Maybe if people above him knew the truth, we would get some help, other states used the National Guard. Everyone that lives in our area knows the deal about Lakewood.
Murphy’s Office: 732-292-6000
Option 6.
I complained, was told they are getting flooded with calls. KEEP calling! We need to be annoying.
Mariah Prokop thank you for that information. I definitely am going to call, Iam great at being annoying! ???? Stay safe.
Laura Marchesi Only took a few minutes to reach someone, my aunt got thru too. You too!
Mariah Prokop thank you.
If they got charged or arrested for child endangerment, did the take the children,?
Dorian Hunt Shafer just charged. And a summons to appear in court
oh ok ty
DCP&P should have been called in for at least an investigation, but that would be confidential info for the privacy of the children involved.
I want to know their court date to see if it’s legit!! I don’t believe these charges.
About time.
There 99.9 percent compliant according to our officials .
Daniel DeVello right??!!
Shell Shelley Right!????
Daniel DeVello so full of shit wake up Murphy ????
Daniel DeVello What’s annoying is that Murphy lies about compliance in Lakewood, while the numbers keep rising & gatherings keep happening. If he would report real numbers & issues in that town, maybe we would get some outside help. Because Murphy Isn’t doing shit.
Mariah Prokop Absolutely my wife and I were livid when him and Colonel Sanders (Callahan) said they were 99.9 percent compliant and throwing us Bull -S saying that when they had the Wedding attendees in 3 separate backyards that they were confused and it was a total misunderstanding that they thought they were in compliance and expect us to except that answer. It’s all about lining there pockets for their political gain . He has no “BALLS “ . This has nothing to do with religious/ faith beliefs Governor. It’s about preventing the speed and no large gatherings. Then after these weddings then they go to the local Costco, Walmart, Target ect… and possibly infecting everyone else.
Shell Shelley Correct this is not time to worry lining your own pockets for political gain!!
Daniel DeVello Exactly. And when it comes to a “pandemic”, sorry but religious rights take a back seat! Murphy cares more about the Hasidic’s feelings & money instead of OUR lives! Everyone had to adjust their lives, including not going to church, etc. So Boo Hoo you cant gather to pray. Do it at home like everyone else!
Mariah Prokop Do what other religions are doing including my church right down the block from me . Video stream the mass .
Daniel DeVello I’m not a big religious person. But I do know that people like yourself & churches are doing what they can. Everyone IS figuring out other ways. They can too! They shouldn’t be held to a different standard. Stay safe Daniel.
Tracey Trezza
Tracey Neilan ???????? 1 down 1000 left
Shut them down
When will enough be enough in Lakewood??? Come on already!!!
This is all we have been asking for. To make them pay for not listening to the law. No one really wanted to be racist, we wanted to make sure our families stayed safe while people where having wedding and gatherings without caring.
Megan Graham I love your optimism but these charges never stick. No reason to believe that changed
Angel Helene Cooper seriously! There is no way they will stick
There is nothing racist about factual observation of conduct…….plus Jewish/Hebrew is not a “race”.
Why weren’t all the adults charged??? Total BS. THEY LIVE LIFE BY NO RULES WHATSOEVER
They got charged really they’ll pay the fine & do it again because they can
Lisa Rogers Pilovsky , agreed, charge every adult there, they all know about the no large gatherings rule.
They won’t even go to court let alone pay a fine , children should of been taken away this is total bullshit just wait Passover is coming for them lots of parties just u wait and see then total will skyrocket to 500 or 1000 cases of the virus just in Lakewood watch it will happen
Robin Crouse-Wicks and that’s the fucking truth!!
Selena Figueroa
now if they get prosecuted is another thing
Governor Phil Murphy you need to shut down LAKEWOOD. They are putting OUR lives in jeopardy.
LatinQueen ForLyfe Murphy is part of the problem Murphy said he will arrest us if we don’t stop picking on the Hasidic Jews from lakewood with 371 cases of corvid-19 ???? 465 cases total in every town in ocean county and we are the bad one not the Dirt bag Hasidic Jews that won’t listen. .
LatinQueen ForLyfe they are in Murphy’s pockets, he won’t do anything.
We all know nothing is going to happen. The judge is going to dismiss the charges and let them walk.
At least the charges are getting more serious ????
Murphy must be getting heat
Governor Phil Murphy
FINALLYYYYY
Finally something being done
Renata Picioccio
Good. Hope it sinks in real soon. How arrogant. To think they are above the law!
Lorraine Marie
At this point, i have a hard time believing these gatherings are anything but deliberate.
Sandi Joy it’s like “in your face”.
Carolee Moore 100%.
There is stubbornness, and then there is deliberate defiance. This is deliberate defiance to a deadly degree.
Seems like these “charges” are just for show. First, everyone there should have at least gotten a summons. Second, if they are truly charged with endangering the welfare of minors, the minors should be removed from the residence. Either the charges will be dropped or they’ll just send their lawyer to court to pay a fine.
It’s not just Lakewood it’s all over . We all need to stay in side let them shut everything down. So they can do whatever they can to help this out. I think know one that goes outside for there little walks, or let’s there kids get in line for the ice cream truck takes anything seriously. I think they are doing what they can it’s just people don’t listen. they say it’s hard to train dogs my god people are harder to train to stay in one place.
Nikki Illiano Lakewood is substantially worse about this than everywhere else.
Nikki Illiano Lakewood thinks they are above the law. Everywhere else people except essential are our providing for us. Not having weddings!
Bear Brian yes u are right but we can’t change people they have to want to live and not want to hurt others by infecting them. The only way is for everyone to shut down completely . . It sucks trust me I know we have no control. We aren’t the government we are normal people. We only can protect our self. Stay clear from Lakewood and people that are out . This way we can be safe. It’s the only way right now. I just think it’s so many people they are just overwhelmed
Sher Eins they are not the only ones trust me . I had called the cops the other day there was a whole park of parents and kids it’s sick. People don’t have a head on there shoulders this is hurting people. I keep my kids in u play in the back yard the house. It’s crazy
Nikki Illiano I’m sure they are not. They have been issued tickets and advised not to. It is crazy they all need to follow laws
Nikki Illiano we do have control, we are the government. In a democratic country the government is obligated to enforce the will of the people. Lakewood thinks they, as a whole community and not just a few inconsiderate people here and there, are above that. And the big problem here is that law enforcement has been permitting it instead of doing their job. The greater concern here is when they all get sick and fill up all the hospitals many more considerate people aren’t going to be able to get the care they need and they are going to die. Hiding and letting them do whatever they want is going to make the number of dead people bigger.
You are 100% right…
Nikki Illiano it’s mostly Lakewood though.
Bear Brian agreed
Nikki Illiano something needs to give on this right away it’s spreading throughout the neighboring towns like wildfire…..????♂️????♂️????♂️
Nikki Illiano do you honestly think they will abide by a shut down ?? They can’t follow the rules now but you think they will during a shut down ?? Come on now
Nikki Illiano
Bear Brian no. The government doesn’t enforce the “will of the people”, it enforces laws. If it enforced people’s “wills” I’m certain the Jim Crow laws of the South would still exist in some places.
Wendy NiHuiginn the peoples will is represented by their elected officials. How do you not see this?
Bear Brian constitutionally appropriate laws are what’s enforced, and enforceable, not the “will” of the people. What happens when the “will” of the people is racist or homophobic? It’s laws that are enforced, no one cares about people’s feelings.
Wendy NiHuiginn Jesus Christ. I can’t even believe that you’re pushing this argument.
Wendy NiHuiginn the issue here is that Lakewoods cult doesn’t adhere to the “constitutionally appropriate laws”
Nikki Illiano no it’s not. They still are having weddings , large prayer groups . I guarantee you no one in the rest of the state is doing what they’re doing
Laura Lange it’s just sad very sad all I can do for my family is try to stay safe like the rest of us.
Bear Brian the laws are being enforced. That’s how society works. People everywhere break laws and rules, that’s why we have law enforcement. It would be nice if everyone followed the rules, but just like Thomas Paine said, government is a necessary evil.
Wendy NiHuiginn so your position is that Lakewood follows all the laws, is completely right to defy quarantine as they are and should not be criticised at all?
Bear Brian my position is that people everywhere break laws and that’s why we need law enforcement. It would be nice if the world wasn’t filled with people that commit crimes or violate quarantine orders, but that shipped sailed many decades ago.
Wendy NiHuiginn so you’re unfamiliar with the fact that law enforcement turns a blind eye to the cult in Lakewood. Is that accurate?
Bear Brian the purpose of my responding is because many people think the government can enforce “the will of the people”, not unlike yourself. And in reality the government can only enforce laws, which must be applied evenly.
Wendy NiHuiginn but they don’t apply the law evenly in Lakewood
Bear Brian if you believe that to be the case then you should document what you’ve found to be inconsistent and file a complaint.
Wendy NiHuiginn In China they were afraid of the consequences from the GOVERNMENT if they went out. some people need that fear put in them
Not only are they possibly Infecting each other but they are exposing the police, stores and innocent people who are trying to do the right thing.
There’s the names! Someone call DCP&P. They HAVE to investigate ALL calls. Show then they aren’t above the law or the “misunderstandings” will just continue!
Amy Cavanaugh I feel bad for any DCPP worker that would have to go to the home to investigate. Just to be exposed; then expose the office in Toms River. Smh!
Tam yes!!!! I didn’t even think of it like that!!!!!!!!! ????
I heard those offices in toms river were closed down Because of virus and no case workers going into homes at this time because of virus. Sad situation.
Amy Cavanaugh Their lawyers will get them off. Cuomo and New York are being sued by them now for restricting religious freedom. They will win.
Jan Nulle Not true. Each office has a skeleton crew with most staff working from home. And special response unit workers are responding to field calls.
YEY…. THEY FOUND A WAY TO GET UM…….
My question is, did they hear us making enough noise and are trying to rectify it or are they doing these little tidbits that they’re not going to follow through with just to shut us up?
Misty Dakota I agree
Good work ????????
Bear Brian let’s just hope something actually happens now instead of a slap of the f***ing wrist!
About time
Yesssss
Jenn Lynn
Mary Luz K-Press one down, 100,000 to go… but it’s a start. Sadly, they won’t care…
Wow, WTH, Why is Lakewood exempt from rules? What is it going to take for them to stop!?
Carol Vidovic they were charged with child endangerment etc. That’s not an exemption. This is what should happen.
Carol Vidovic you’re right. Guarantee it won’t go anywhere in court. They never get in trouble for anything
Huge voting block,the charges will disappear.
Everyone in attendance should be charged!
Jennifer Liz exactly. 2 out of 40-50. So now all 40-50 could be infected and roaming around ocean county shedding virus. This will never stop.
Yet not lodged in OCJ… Ehh, they’ll walk
NO NO NO you people got it all wrong according to Governor Murphy we us you and I are picking on these DIRT BAG HASIDIC JEWS and If we, us, you and I don’t stop Governor Murphy is Gonna have us ALL ARRESTED YES THATS CORRECT US ARRESTED NOT THE DIRT BAG HASIDIC JEWS THAT DON’T GIVE A FUCK WHAT THE LAW IS AND WHO PUT IT IN PLACE. Look at the amount of Corvid-19 cases in LAKEWOOD ???? EVERY OTHER TOWN IN OCEAN COUNTY As of Sunday 3/29/2020 @ 2:00 pm 465 cases of Corvid-19 all towns in ocean county except lakewood…….Lakewood has 371 do the math Lakewood is only 94 Shy of 465 that’s every town in OCEAN COUNTY COMBINED…………WOW!!! And Governor Murphy says we are the problem because we are calling the DIRT BAG HASIDIC JEWS OUT ON THIS HAY SPINELESS MURPHY DO THE MATH THE NUMBERS DO LIE THEY ARE YOUR NUMBERS Those no good dirt bag Hasidic Jews are putting all of us at risk stop being such a coward and do the right thing carpet bomb ???? the town and get it over with. I have stage 4 lung cancer and I stay in the house who the hell do those dirt bag Hasidic Jews think they are put me and others at risk and you Governor Murphy say your gonna arrest is not them.
Start quarantining anyone and EVERYONE who breaks the law for 14 WEEKS in jail, regardless of faith, religion etc. ALL of a sudden people will somehow realize there should not be any gatherings, weddings, parties, etc.
I don’t get it. Fines are handed out to businesses all over the place for having too many people in a store n such but these asshats in Lakewood can’t all get fines? Ridiculous! Charge them all with the 5 counts of child endangerment. All 50. Wanna party and have weddings, ok. Tickets for everyone! Morons
I’m going to share this lets see if the facebook police remove this one!
Big Deal nothing will happen to them
Michele Barletto-Baldwin true!
if anyone makes a peep they will be slammed as an antisemitic
Matthew Vlossak
Ashlyn Rocha ????????????????
It’ll get dropped when they go to court.
Dimitra Donnelly $35.00 court fee that will be broken down on a payment plan lol
Dimitra Donnelly u know it !!
Always does. ????
Jamiled Hernandez
Definitely our patients
Got to be something mentally wrong with this family. Everybody knows you can’t do this right now.
Jay Curcio ????????????
Denyse Szukalski
All those Jews should be charged with incest
Paul Zachery you sound like a shitty person. “Jew” describes every. Single Jewish person.
Try Hasidic. Ultra orthodox.
Paul Zachery y incest?
Karma will getcha,
Child endangerment and no mugshot?
They don’t seem to care they are putting the police or anyone in danger. Very selfish ????
Gail Carroll Toscano thats because they feel this virus is a blessing from god, they are idiots that think they can get away with anything and they usually do
I got $100 that says all these charges are dismissed 2 months from now. It’s just smoke and mirrors now.
Bry Pino agree
Half the people at the party will now visit any of the surrounding Howell stores that are still open and expose all the employees and what customers they may have. And that is NOT okay ????
Kim Smozanitz-Wieczerzak and Brick Costco. 2 workers tested + and the Lakewood crew was there yesterday
Kim Smozanitz-Wieczerzak Brick , Toms River….
Jackie Keller Wurdemann omg 2 workers in Costco tested positive? Wow…
Kim McDowell that’s what I hear from a friend who lives in Brick
Jackie Keller Wurdemann ok thanks! Stay safe!
Yikes this is very scary be safe ????
If Murphy continues to turn a blind eye to this, & twists the defiance of that community, that the public’s outrage is the problem, he is JUST as accountable…. prove me wrong, Phil
Jeff Nemeth completely agree
Nikki you need to go out for a walk. Next we will have a mental health crisis.
Oh. but according to the governor, they are doing nothing wrong it’s all their education
they keep defying the order in place because they feel this virus is a blessing from god, they are idiots that think they can get away with anything and they usually do which is the sad part
Nothing Will Happen They Always Get Away With Everything They Dont Respected Us They Think They R Better WTF Will It Take 4 God 2 Come Down N Show Them They R Wrong????????????????
Murphy is BIASED. Vote this dog out next election. ????
Jennifer Lee
Governor Phil Murphy, still gathering in Ocean county as of yesterday.
What is this?
I got that too
Lynette Marie me too
Me too
Lynette Marie , got that too
me too
Same here…more than once
I thought there’s also fines to be paid for large gatherings too? Until it hits some ppls pocketbook I’m guessing they just don’t get it?
Loren Farley and even then they don’t care money is not a prob for them. It should be mandatory 14day jail quarantine
As long as there’s stores open, people will go out.
These people are putting everybody at risk all they do is care about themselves these people shop where we shop that needs to stop if they continue to defy the laws this is the fourth time they gathered in a crowd they don’t give a shit
Phil Murphy should be the one arrested for not addressing LAKEWOOD. HE IS A CRIMINAL.
When are these people going to get it through their heads????? What part don’t they understand??? ????????
James Kerr Ethan Kerr
No it’s Lakewood
This is hysterical.. I thought I moved to New Jersey but sounds more like Hitler’s Germany… Pathetic ????????
Christopher Popeye Nichols ppl are tired of the b.s it’s not about race .its to do with them not following any rules but there own
You’re from VA dude, you obviously have no clue about Hasidic jews. This isn’t about their religion its about their BEHAVIOR!
Christopher Popeye Nichols Its ok to break the law?
Christopher Popeye Nichols it’s about a particular community being above the law & risking lives .
Christopher Popeye Nichols oh please, stop with the drama! It’s called OBEYING the law and the Hadidic community DELIBERATELY break it, time and time again. Only this time, by doing so they are putting everyone’s health and lives in danger.
Easy their top fans????.. and all they do is complain about all the drugs and heroin surrounding their community. They probably say the exact same thing about us.. it’s time to be compassionate not be full of hate. ✌️
Christopher Popeye Nichols do you not understand the ramifications of people doing this? It is going to overwhelm the hospitals etc! Nothing to do with religion! It is a public safety issue!
New Jersey State Police I guess there part of the 0.1 percent you were saying.gtfoh
Ken Probst they are all in cahoots ????
Shell Shelley sure they are .murphy gets his voted from them.then passes his orders down to his puppets
Ken Probst yep!! Disgusting !
Nikki Dimarsico
Tim Kushner I can’t ????????♀️
Where’s the Petition to Sign to have Murphy and Coumo REMOVED…. SOMEBODY BETTER HAVE THAT IN THE WORKS !!!
Denise D’Amico DiMarsico
Murphy doesnt want to lose their vote or have a lawsuit
Jane Avjean
Dani Tisch
Rhiannon Rai Felthaus Richmond it’s never gonna stop ????.
Dani Tisch Lakewood is up to 371 cases. ????. Which hospital do you work out of again?
Dani Tisch even Toms River is high.
Rhiannon Rai Felthaus Richmond Monmouth medical center. It’s where most of Lakewood chooses to go because we provide culturally competent care.
Money will exchange hands and this will be swept under the rug. Mark my word.
Robert Pilovsky of course like everything else illegal that happens to certain Lakewood residents.
Robert Pilovsky
https://njleftbehind.org/2017/09/follow-money-way-lakewood-kneel-vaad/
Robert Pilovsky yep because everything is a “misunderstanding” effing joke
Last night from another friend I received a call we live in toms River but his doctors are in brick town toms river EMTCMS whatever we’re not taken to brick hospital they told me how to get a ride I went out and I took it it was approximately 635 I got him there and got home before curfew question not allowed to stay but I was scared to death that he called that he needed a ride home because it would’ve been after curfew I was scared to death that I would be stopped and given a ticket but they can roam the streets
Pegster Serpico it’s not a mandatory curfew it’s suggested. I believe. If I am Wrong let me know. I don’t think you can get a ticket if you are driving around in your car at 8:01. That’s what I heard last maybe it changed
Trips to get essential services are allowed (medical, Rx, food, gas) if you can find places open at night.
This is ridiculous
and then ? nothing…….
They, along with Murphy are willing to sacrifice all of our lives!! Why can’t this madness be stopped? Can the mayors from the surrounding towns go beyond, maybe with help from the CDC??? We need an override!! Why isn’t Murphy coming to Lakewood to give his daily Oral Vomitus update???????
Tracey Primavera daily vomitus update! Lol, unfortunately true.
Does anyone really believe there will be any kind of consequence for their deliberate act of breaking the law? I’d like to believe there finally will be because of the severity of their actions. Their defiance puts everyone’s health and lives in danger. This is so outrageous and our lame governor and his AG are more concerned with what people are saying instead of what this Hasidic community is doing. Florida has closed their borders. This community keeps breaking the law so why hasn’t the governor closed Lakewood’s borders? Why should they be allowed to continue to put everyone’s health and lives in danger?
Donna Liuzzi Tuminaro I believe the arrests are for show only. I doubt any will pay the fines.
Mary Warner of course it is only for show! But it is wrong, it is unacceptable, and it needs to be addressed! But OUR governor does not care about anyone but this group because without them he doesn’t have the votes. How much more sickening can it get that a governor puts his own political ambition before the health and welfare of everyone in OUR state?
Donna Liuzzi Tuminaro that is exactly the problem, but he won’t allow it to be addressed. This is why we ALL need to vote him out. It’s not just us though, did you see where Cuomo is being sued because his directive violates the freedom to gather? A lawyer in NYC filed a complaint against Cuomo.
Mary Warner Yeah, how laughable is that?! So this lawyer is saying his constitutional rights are being violated because he cannot practice his Jewish faith. I have many Jewish friends (non-Orthodox/Hasidic) who are practicing their faith the proper way right now, just as many other religions are. OUR constitutional rights are being violated by this Hasidic community who are blatantly breaking the law by having group gatherings, thus putting ALL of our health and lives in danger! That “lawyer” should be ashamed of himself, but the almighty dollar rules.
Yet they arrest the guy in Howell for terrorist threats for being pissed that nothing is being done while they continue to allow those people to endanger thousands of lives. Which is the terrorist threat? One person wanting something done to stop this or a group of people putting thousands of lives at danger.
Pat Lelinho, I cannot say strongly enough how disgusted I am with the behavior of the Hasidic community and their blatant disregard. I am even more disgusted with our governor’s and his AG’s lack of addressing their behavior properly. However, the guy from Howell went way over the line! We are all frustrated with the BS that is Lakewood, especially with what is currently happening. And I want our governor to STEP UP and do what he should be doing to protect ALL the people in our state. But again, you can’t let your emotions and frustration get the best of you.
Donna Liuzzi Tuminaro I know he went a bit overboard but you would think it would make the governor open his eyes that people have had it with them getting away with breaking the law. I am not at all saying the Howell man is right but if they can arrest him they should also be arresting people that are putting thousands of people’s lives in danger. The governor needs to step up and put a stop to it.
Donna Liuzzi Tuminaro It is the same problem in any area with a large Hasidic population. NY has a few of them, and they and the community surrounding them have the highest #of confirmed cases. They are “politically protected” for their enormous block votes and damn well do what they please.
Pat Lelinho I totally agree. But as I’ve mentioned before, our lame governor cares more about his political ambition than he does for the health and welfare of all of us in our state. Without the Hasidic community, he does not have the votes. So Murphy is despicable and does not deserve the privilege of being governor! We need someone in office who has the desire to do the right thing for everyone, and not just one particular group!
Susan Pascarella Sadly, so true! And it is despicable!
Joe Murray
but I’m anti Semitic for speaking out. Lol ????
Joe Murray this type of news doesn’t support their Agenda. They are just as bad as liberals
Steven Meltreder they wrote the book what you mean lol
I am literally afraid to see what today’s # is for Lakewood and the surrounding towns. I live in a surrounding town and am dead scared to go out for food at the supermarket.
https://njleftbehind.org/2017/09/follow-money-way-lakewood-kneel-vaad/
The sad part is that most in Lakewood are sick. It’s all over my twitter feed. Hatzolah had to borrow ambulances from the Lakewood First Aid.
Shari Brucker Stopera how beneath them
Shari Brucker Stopera O.M.G.
Here’s an idea let’s put every house condo townhouse whatever up for sale from Howell straight down South toms River I’ll let them buy them all out at a decent market price and they can take over let me see what ocean county does because none of them have jobs on the county seats by the by the freeholders will be voted out so let’s give it a try
Amanda Iorio
Beings as they are self ruled and do whatever they want they should be contained and self sufficient. No government assistance, no nothing. If you can’t follow our laws and pay taxes like the rest of us you should be cut off.
I think Establishments should stop letting them through the doors my point of view. I’m tired of it.
Allison Kellogg-Eastmead I agree. Remember when they wouldn’t let non hasidic people purchase chickens when they were slaughtering them for their holiday? They had no problem openly denying us, time to return that favor
Allison Kellogg-Eastmead its simple for the men…establish a dress code No Hats NO EXCEPTIONS
Lakewood is a serious problem
Nothing will come of it. Robert Pilovsky, I agree with you totally!
Isn’t every single person at that gathering not adhering to the Order? Why didn’t every person there get charged?
Carol Ferguson my thoughts exactly
They charge the home owner for hosting the gathering.
Julie Feliciano Why only charge the homeowner? Every single person there is disobeying the Order.
10 miles around Lakewood and Lakewood has all the numbers above 1/4 of all New Jersey it is disgusting and the governor won’t do a damn thing about it
At this rate, no cops will be able to break up these illegal gatherings cause these IDIOT group of ppl who make their own laws, are going to infect everyone in town including the cops!!!
More than 50% of ocean county cases that came back positive are from Lakewood NJ , and the Hasidic/Orthodox Community is a majority of residence in Lakewood NJ.
The residence of Lakewood NJ are disregarding executive order 107 which they are well aware of, there for I say blockade Lakewood NJ, call military personnel to the township and apply martial law. The mayor and police are unable to properly do their jobs, or won’t to try and keep the votes for an upcoming election.
The majority of cases in Toms River / Howell NJ /Freehold are due to the close ness in proximity to Lakewood, NJ and the residence there frequently visiting these towns!
Rob King don’t forget Brick. We are just as close to Lakewood.
Rebecca Sherman you got it updated
Rob King thank you kind sir. ????
Rebecca Sherman yup should be up now
Rob King Agree 110%. How do we make this happen? Email Gov office? Petition?
Carol Ferguson idk ???? I think only the governor can declare
Rob King How do we unite and strongly encourage the Gov to do that? Anyone have suggestions?
Carol Ferguson public post and links on gov Murphy’s page
Carol Ferguson petition to request military protection and blockage of Lakewood nj
Request government containment
Joyce Kramer
Kim Williams should charge everyone at that party!
Well NJ is creating a health committee now to determine which patients will get a ventilator and which won’t. To me, the answer is clear – these people should be at the end of the line and let the innocent ones suffering that followed the rules but still got sick. Lakewood should be the LAST one to get a ventilator if need be
Besiana Konomi Farrah I’m sure they paid there way to the front of the line already.
Christopher Giarraffa yea most likely!!!
These will all get thrown out of court – they are already during NY
Scums that have to regard for others safety
It’s against there religion to immunize , it’s in gods hands ! , Let’s not start now dickheads !
A Brooklyn Lawyer is suing NY Governor Cuomo for stopping gatherings he says is right. Maybe this is what they are trying for here in NJ
What the hell is wrong with these people. Do they think they are above getting this virus and more importantly above the law? I’m tired of hearing this whole community disregarding the state’s directive. They should be thrown in jail.
They are certainly not above getting it. Their number increased by 100 from Saturday to Sunday. They just don’t care!
In my entire life I have never seen a bunch of idiotic people who really think they are above the law. But I guess when u hv Murphy in your back pocket guess the laws don’t apply to you
FINALLY! Been saying this all along in regards to child endangerment. Glad to see the children have protective rights.
They’ll hire a lawyer and this case will be thrown out of court!
Brittney Ramsey Jacob Garcia these names look very familiar.
Samantha Belfiore holy crap they do!!
Samantha Belfiore fuck them kids
No…. no one is above the law. Do the crime, do the time. No one should be let out. They are just going to spread the virus to many more. Enough already…
You know what bothers me about this besides anti-Semite remarks? Yesterday we went to an area that had a few universities surrounded by very dangerous and poor areas. There was absolutely NO social distancing going on. From the bus stops, parks, playgrounds, markets. Just sayin
Stacey Vandenberg Hiller did you though??? Lol
Sad part is, nothing, NOTHING, will come of this.
The stupidity never ends!
The simple fact is the gatherings no matter what faith or race are not allowed. It’s against the law. These gatherings are a risk to public health and furthering the spread of the virus rather than decreasing the number of cases in Ocean County. No one or group of individuals is excluded from the state of emergency.
My hope is that those not complying do not get medical treatment over those that are
I heard another food drop off at Lakewood blue Claws is in progress as we speak how is this allowed??
Their Ruler need to catch a bug Because he is a moraless Bug
I heard there is another food drop off going on right now at the Blue Claws stadium..how is this legal? Is it legal? News 12 New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy
Connie Virga they had that going on for over a week now there
Charge them to the fullest and wonder why rest of Ocean County want you all to just End it Save us the Grief since you have no fear of it and could care less about your own Proof is in your ACTIONS and we will fight the state over you all getting tested before the ones that did right and Thanks to you all we are in need of testing before any of you Just remember you Ali Bobbi is protecting you all How’s that working Many idiots in one group That’s a bad concoctions FO that be Great and Gov Murphy your not doing your job they will be out in no time spreading the germ and their heartless words
Let me guess, they are Irish Catholics?
Why is religion even being allowed to be used as a reason to not comply to the laws during a severe world epidemic? Religion shouldn’t even be used before the well being of anyone. So why the government isn’t doing something about this is, is beyond comprehensive to me.
For anyone that didn’t hear this. It’s what Murphy thinks of NJ residents that actually Comply, care they can’t work, shop normally, not see family & friends, not go to practice their faith & NOT want to be sick. Apparently WE are terrible for speaking truth.
And Murphy will do nothing
And yet the fucking governor won’t do shit!
yea and they are going to cry discrimination and wont pay a dime!! did you see the asswipe lawyer from NY who is suing cuomo??
get the government in there they need to do there part shut them down
What is it with people!!!?
Why aren’t they listening
