NO CORONA PARTIES
PINK FLOYD LIVE FROM RUMSON!
This evening the Rumson Police Department received an unfortunate call about a group of 30 people on the front lawn of a house on Blackpoint Rd. near Wood Ln. When our patrols arrived we were met by a group of approx. 30 “40-50” year old ADULTS who were located in the middle of Blackpoint Rd and on the front law attending an acoustic concert of Pink Floyd’s greatest hits. (Some even brought lawn chairs)
The impromptu concert was performed by two guitarists equipped with microphones and amplifiers who were also broadcasting the concert via facebook live.
When we informed everyone that they must leave–in accordance with Governor Murphy’s executive orders regarding these so called “corona-parties”–we were met with well wishes of “F-the police” and “Welcome to Nazi Germany” from this group of “40-50 year old ADULTS”.
As the old saying goes, in the midst of all this chaos, the band still played on, that is until they were advised in the middle of the 1975 classic “Wish you were here”, that they must stop the show.
Sadly i’m sure we all “wish we could be here”, and the Rumson Police Department takes no enjoyment in ruining anyone’s fun! However we ALL have a responsibility to take this pandemic SERIOUSLY and adhere to the social distancing requirement.
We also need to be a good role model for our children and be kind and understanding during these times.
Please use this incident as a learning experience for everyone! If we have to respond to another “corona party” we will be using a zero tolerance approach and everyone involved will be charged with Disorderly Conduct. We are all in this together and together we need to make smarter choices.
How can u be so selfish & stupid ? This will be same asses complaining about quarantine too long…. all these fools should’ve been booked.
Jeff Nemeth he’s an attorney John maldjian
Put them all in one cell for 14 days then maybe they’ll learn to listen.
All together !!
Adam Urban and make them listen to Nickelback, 24/7.
Kevin Karlick no Yoko Ono. That’ll fix em
Monica L Celli yeah. They were together for the party.
Adam Urban this guy was an attorney John maldjian
Idiots grow the f up. People are suffering and dying. Like Adam Urban solution!
Theresa Marie … this makes me furious. So so selfish . Our doctors, nurses, health care workers are exhausted…. let’s get more people sick to stress th to the max… smh
They should be locked up with the Lakewood assholes.
What about if everyone was 6ft apart from one another??? Legal then???
Thomas Leodis Maybe they want to be 6ft under.
Thomas Leodis no
Thomas Leodis no. Way too many people.
Thomas Leodis I guess no one can sense sarcasm when it punches them in the face lol
Well maybe its the same as being as grocery store if ur all just 6ft apart.. weather ur outside in a front lawn or inside shoprite 6ft apart is 6ft apart… kinda contradicting its self… shouldnt be a criminal ina free country… Bring on the Civil War
Doug Voigt Jr. So if 30 people are at grocery store n 6ft apart they then should be arrested…. correct??? Or is law only law sometimes??
Last time I checked Tom, attending a wannabe Pink Floyd concert isn’t essential, supermarkets are. What a fucking idiot.
Thomas Leodis only sometimes, duh
Thomas Leodis no
Thomas Leodis NOPE
Thomas Leodis food is essential
Linda Hilliard-Bogan exactly. How many times do they have to tell us that. Out for food and prescriptions and that’s it! ????????♀️
No…no large groups
Thomas Leodis no crowds idiot
The 6′ rule isnt so you can hang out.. it’s so when youre forced to be in public you have a guideline.
Thomas Leodis no says no gatherings
Oh boy starting to sound like Lakewood, NJ.
Cyndi Langdon Meyers lakewood they fined and arrested rumson nothing how fair is that
Pete Zito complain more about it, that’s what the surrounding communities do about Lakewood! Why should the privileged people of Rumson be any different then the Hasidic of Lakewood. Always be kind and do your part in containing the virus.
Pete Zito only later on did they fine them
Pete Zito Oh get off your soapbox just recently Lakewood has been getting fined why don’t you read back couple of weeks Rumson should be fine but Lakewood should be blocked off
Doreen Sturgeon wtf r u talking about I said rumson should have been fined I said lakewood got fined why not rumson it’s because money talks do u live in rumson were u at the party is that why u r so angry
Doreen Sturgeon because he’s an attorney and a musician. John Maldjian

Nice job to Rumson police. I hope they were charged and fined as well.
Doreen Kline warning was given ????
Update: On behalf of Chief Scott Paterson, the Rumson Police Department has received some inquiries regarding the status of charging the people involved. The matter is presently under investigation by the Rumson Police Department and charges are pending. A post will be made once the subject(s) have been served with a criminal complaint.
-Lt. Christopher J. York

Karen Kennedy or you can put it like this, “????????”
David Meyer that one might not land ya in FB jail..lol
The “Comfortably Dumb” tour.
Kevin Karlick ????????
They all needed to receive fines. I hope they did.
Shame on the Rumson Police Department for taking no action especially once confronted by such hostility from a large group of immature 40 year olds who clearly understand the order issued by the Governor but just don’t care about anyone else but themselves!
Mike Mathews it’s not shame on the police. It’s shame on the moronic 40 yr olds.
Mike Mathews charged are pending
Wow, blame the cops but not the people that organized this gathering. Amazing!
Unbelievable
Well when they get sick they can stay the hell home and not come to the hospital and overwhelm us anymore
Lisa Arendt Right.
We’ll call it lakewood north, assholes
Idiots. Everywhere. ????♀️
Ok party get all sick don’t dare to put one foot at a hospital and bother an overworked doctor or nurse or visit any store to hurt innocent employees
Wealthy political area.
Just a bunch of assholes
They all should be charged…The more this happens the longer the rest of us will be quarantined…STAY AT HOME ????????????
What is wrong with people. This virus is never going away…dont these people get it the sooner they listen the sooner we get back to normal…plus pink floyd?? Really that’s a downer in itself ????

Looks like you’re worse than those assholes. Go listen to rap shit in a sewer pipe.
Since they were all on the front lawn, they should’ve all been corralled together and forced to stay there for 2 weeks
Shame on them
Sorry you had to deal with this.
Samantha Danielle I particularly like the – be a good role model to your children! Exactly. Why are people so dumb!
Dianelys Wallach if everyone just stayed inside, we wouldn’t have to do this forever ????????♀️
I really hope they were ALL charged.
30 40-50yr olds. Fucking pathetic. Hope they all get COVID19 and suffer
send a reporter to bingo in lakewood. there’s meetings and a school being held in there late at night. these people in rumson are seeing the lawlessness that is being ignored elsewhere, and fail to see why they can’t congregate as well. the anger is growing and the obvious special treatment for one group doesn’t help the situation. these people are beyond foolish, and judging from their reaction to being broken up, angry as hell.
Not really sure that people are stupid until somebody you know dies it’s disgusting just stay home to save lives at this point they should force you to go into the army now that’ll teach you how to learn
It’s never going to end if people keep this up
Again more selfish people….????????♀️
One asshole yells nazi Germany! Hey asshole if this was nazi Germany you be dead so shut the fuck up and get in side pissboy!
People in those areas just like Rumson feel they can do anything they want and get away with it
Send them over to Lakewood and then block the streets
Party on kids !
What the Hell is wrong with people?! ????????????
ARREST THEM ALL!!!
It’s just like being back in elementary school! The whole class loses their recess because a couple of assholes can’t follow the rules.
Murphy’s neighbors!
Why are people so dumb?
They should all be given big fines and send them to the hospitals to aid the overworked hospital staff in some capacity
30 $500 fines.
I read this twice because it’s so ridiculous I thought it was a joke. Everyone should have been fined!
What happened to Murphy & Callahan saying no longer will be tolerated and you will be fined or charged with aggravated assault. Keep letting people slide by and they will continue to do their thing.
Johanna Edwards yep. What a joke!
wait….i thought i heard murphy & his cop saying it is a zero tolerance and it will not be tolerated!!! yet it sounds like it was. Cowardly cops
How dare you call these cops, or any cops, cowards. While you’re hopefully sitting in your house to protect you and your family, these warriors are out there putting themselves and their families in harm’s way, everyday, to protect the public, even you. I’m thankful to all our first responders, medical staff, sanitation workers, and anyone that goes to work every day to protect and provide for all of us, even ignorant people like you.

George Frncis I know! What a joke!
You wouldn’t expect this in Rumson!
“Just another Prick on a LAWN”
I see what you did there.
40 year old elitist spoiled disrespectful selfish people. They should be ashamed but they won’t be.
cuz they are full of shit and will say anything to make themself look good

unreal
They should do community service if they are so fearless and carefree…….make them help remove the bodies from hospitals and stack them in the freezer trucks ……think reality will sink in? Idiots.
????
Where all the people that hate on Lakewood day in and day out? Get on it ya anti-semites!!!
James Kreidberg oh the usual one showed up. Give it time, she’ll call her friends.
James Kreidberg I hope your kidding. It’s not about region. Not for me anyway. It’s any asshole that thinks the world revolves around them
Dumb asses
!!! Morons
Thank you to Rumson Police and Police in every other town for putting their life on the line to deal with dumb people. Stay safe
Hey Governor Phil Murphy. I can complain about more than just lakewood. Step up and shut it down!
Steve Malato the difference is in Lakewood its a “misunderstanding”. All other towns its criminals
No matter who it is, or where it is, we are not supposed to live like this cooped up in our homes, away from our friends, loved ones and even those we really don’t want to be around all that much. lol. everyone needs to bite the bullet for a few weeks so we can get back to life as we all want it to be.
Stupid people. They should have been arrested. They’re certainly old enough to know better. What kind of example are they setting for their kids.
What happened to zero tolerance? They didn’t get charged because it’s Rumson?
Lol
“When I was a child I had a fever…”
They didn’t bother to arrest anyone so what’s the point? Rich people got tickets. Wow. Big deterrent
Hilary Traphagen they did not get any tickets
Rachel Levy Remelgado so…..a stern warning.
Hilary Traphagen yes. They have since updated their Facebook page and stated it’s under investigation and summons may be coming
Rachel Levy Remelgado wonder how much the partiers paid the cops to keep quiet
Hilary Traphagen before or after they verbally assaulted them with expletives and calling them Nazi’s? ????♀️
They didn’t bother to arrest anyone so what’s the point? Rich people got tickets. Wow. Big deterrent
When this is over Ocean County will know as one of the most ignorant countries in the country if not the world
Rumson is in Monmouth County.
Lori Rose DiMaiolo sorry thanks
Should have posted their names and pictures, stupid people.
Each one of these idiots should have been charged.
Wonder how many were local and how many “came down the shore”
But it’s only ‘millennials’ partying and not listening to stay at home instruction ????
What a bunch of rich old hippies assholes…send them to Lakewood WITH THE OTHER LOSERS
Mike McGowan not hippies they would have to be older!
Diane Cassitta Whatever …just stay home right now is not the time to be going to see a Pink Floyd cover band LOSERS
Mike McGowan agree!
What dont people understand about this??? No groups over 10 (that’s the amount of fingers most people have) it does not matter who you are, everyone needs to comply.
They would think differently if they had to watch a loved one on FaceTime gasp for their last breath, because they are not allowed to be with them! So irresponsible!
And this was a Party!
Just shoot a few of them, the rest will head home.
Mike Wren ❤
Lina Reino Gallagher ❤️
What is wrong with people??!!
Meanwhile I have not left the house in 28 days!
Take their names so we don’t waste ventilators on them.
With nurses, doctors, fireman, cops and EMTs on the front lines being exposed to the virus day in and day out and some unfortunately succumbing to it after contracting it, there should be ZERO tolerance for this behavior for any and all violations. “Hefty” fines are nothing to some people. For most in a town like Rumson, a $500 fine is no deterrent. MANDATORY 30 to 90 day county jail sentences should be imposed once things get back to normal for violators of this order. We have lost enough lives already and we are way past the warning period for this order. Most follow the rules but some continue to put their fun and enjoyment above the health and safety of others.
The balance between empathy and accountability helps people feel valued and heard while maintaining the integrity of your professional standards. Empathy without accountability sets a dangerous precedent for what’s acceptable and what’s not. Always remember that a lack of clarity is grounds for chaos.May 16, 2019
Such Assholes
Wtf?? Come on people !!
https://ocscanner.news/2020/04/05/rumson-updated-charges-pending-for-corona-party-violators/
Ocean County Scanner News good ! they should be issued a hefty summons ! Every single participant. They put our officers at risk & then our correction officers at risk if arrested .
So why arrest some…in other towns and NOT in an effluent neighborhood…SMH ????????
Why were they not summoned? This is ridiculous of grown azs adults…we need to get back to work..? Are these Murphys neighbors?
I don’t want a single person in this incident fined, not a penny. Instead, give them a DOC orange jumpsuit and 100 hours community service picking up garage up and down the streets of Rumson so their neighbors can see them. A fine means nothing to people living in multimillion dollar homes.
Not very smart there.
They should have ALL BEEN SUMMONS $500. FINE EACH!!
G Thomas Knudson Or mandatory three week quarantine.
You can’t arrest the Orthodox Jews for funerals and weddings and then let a bunch of rich hippies go free for having a f’ing concert in the middle of the neighborhood..
They should all be fined no matter age religion. Color. They are all Effin murderers!!!
Rumson? The rich neighborhood
They also be fined The cost of a new ventilator
Don’t break it up, just move it to a cell block for all of them & a $50,000 fine each.
Will be interesting to see who what and how they’re charged! What’s to investigate? They weren’t to kind to the officers-they deserve what they get
What is wrong with people! How much proof do you need to know this is real !
They should have all been fined and charged with disorderly… stop the warnings already … people know what they are doing is wrong, they just don’t care … so fine them … high enough that they will care!
wtf more idoits killing people cause they dont care
They ALL should have gotten citations and fines!! Shame on the partygoers for their selfish irresponsible behavior!! And their disrespectful treatment of their Police Dept. Enforce the rules!!! ????
OMG these people should be locked up.
Please charge every single one of these assholes!
Identify who they are and when the show up to the emergency room Deny them care for not following rules. Then let’s see how quick their party ends!!!
Attorney should get special privileges either. Maybe he should pick up the dirty gloves people leaving around
The report stated attorney John Maldjian
Bless You ????
It should only be allowed if the neighbors are all outside standing on their own porches listening to the dudes music
This is NOT GOING AWAY BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE THIS!
