STATEMENT FROM OCEAN COUNTY PROSECUTOR BRADLEY D. BILLHIMER:
“We are expecting a peaceful protest/gathering tomorrow June 2, 2020, in Toms River. We stand in solidarity with those that wish to protest peacefully. We are aware of rumors circulating on social media regarding this protest/gathering and there is no evidence at this time to support those rumors. In collaboration with our law enforcement partners, we will be ready handle any situation that may arise.”
Asbury park just now.
Jeannine Labriola saw someone comment on a post that there was a car lit on fire?? I’m hoping that was a lie
Jenna Neswick Haven’t seen any fires near the protest. Bangs ave.
Jenna Neswick lie. It was extremely peaceful. Police kneeling in solitary!!
Jackie Vassallo ok good amazing to hear!
Nice
Jeannine Labriola You think all those people who were mad at Colin kaepernick will be equally as mad at these brave officers?! I think not..
Jenna Neswick reports are peaceful
Not now.
Jeannine Labriola I tuned into the live-streams from 5-9pm and pretty much everything was fine. Someone slashed a cop car tire, but no escalated situation came of it from any side. Haven’t been able to find any video or posts from after 9pm except this one. Hopefully a good sign that nothing has commenced and hopefully a good sign for tomorrow.
Lauren Tina same

Usually you can find things on snapchat. Like in AC. But I didn’t see anything for Asbury
Thank you for pointing out that they are rumors.
I hope there’s an early curfew for tomorrow the Mischief starts when the Sun goes down
Curfews start violence not darkness.
Civl unrest
Be safe????????
Wonder if it will be like all the other “peaceful” protests…
They will be converging at the RT37 Kohls at 10am and move into downtown. I am told windows for businesses are already boarded up.
Harold Draken yes they r after work i drove threw the kohl’s parking lot. I
Harold Draken T-Mobile was boarded up when I drove by as well as the tattoo shop downtown
Look what’s happening in NYC for the second night. Last night SoHo was destroyed, now they moved to midtown.
Cristine Schrantz Porter animals
They are thugs, not peaceful protesters.
The animals have looted Macy’s !
Your stupid little town has nothing to do with NYC. You wish Toms River had enough wealth to even care about destroying.
Don’t be stupid!!! What! What! Has been peaceful so far….get your head out of your asses!!
Roger Kroeger stop relying on mainstream media to tell you the WHOLE TRUTH
Look at what happened in CAMDEN of all places. The protest turned into a cookout/block party WITH the police
Those people were protesters. The ones doing all the damage are thugs.
Roger Kroeger Asbury Park tonight. Thought provoking and peaceful.
Karen Ann Campbell Not anymore.
Harold Draken ??
The cops rolled in and swept up everyone left on the streets. THERE WAS NO RIOT, JUST POLiCE VIOLENCE
Skeptical
Peaceful? Haven’t seen any of them peaceful!! More like rabid animals!!
Michele Santarella Canavan i was at asbury. Peaceful
Sounds like Karen who’s never been to a demonstration before.
Laura O’Libraryland well thats great! That’s how it should be.
Alexander C. Ziegler I guess Trump is right!! About fake news!! I Can’t believe I fell for it!! All the fires and looting!! Looks so real!!
Michele Santarella Canavan The looting and fires are just sexy tv for your lustful eyes. They know you want to see ALL of destruction and NONE of the peace.
I have faith in my own local community leaders. However, I have children living in the Bronx and Philly. Helicopters overhead, fires started in the streets and in looted buildings where families of all races live above in their apartments. Explosions last night as ATMs were being blown up. Gas stations, businesses including food markets are boarded up. Food distribution for the needy was cancelled for Monday and was supposed to happen today…hungry people, no access to gas or cash. Terrified citizens. Gunshots outside my kid’s door. This is truth for some communities that are unprotected by their leaders who did nothing to foster inclusiveness and goodwill. No need to ridicule worried citizens. The good AND the bad news is televised. We are not closing our eyes to both sides of the TRUTH.
Newark and Camden peaceful
THIS IS A FAIR WARNING TO ALL,,, I WILL BE READY TO DEFEND MY FAMILY AT ALL COST… I MEAN ALL COST…. THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING… YOU WILL NOT SEE IT COMING UNTIL ITS TO LATE…
Bill Xiques too
Same.
Bill Xiques It will be fine. Calm down.
Bill Xiques
Bill Xiques exactly what are you expecting to happen? No one is knocking on doors or breaking into houses and the protests in NJ in the 2 most dangerous cities were peaceful.
Bill Xiques ditto
No body wants to come anywhere near your ugly family.
Good thing I checked Facebook before I went looting,whew..that was a close one.
Fake anarchist recruitment flyer circulating on social media, perpetrated nationwide by anonymous opponents of Democrats. TR version threatens “burning and destruction” downtown by paid protesters being bused in from NYC on Tuesday.
Snopes.org investigated and called a similar flyer aimed at a county in Wash. State “fake” and “comical.” Fact-check it yourself.
Most of the protesting has turned into riots. I’m not sure what you mean by no evidence!
Joseph Buckbee
Joseph Buckbee asbury was peaceful
Laura O’Libraryland check again
Laura O’Libraryland lol only during the day.
Drew Lawrence it was for 4 hours. There were a few stragglers after curfew. Watch the livestream from the APP reporter (who was legally allowed to be there after curfew and was arrested)
Laura O’Libraryland I know several people that were there. They started throwing rocks and shit at the cops. That’s not peaceful
Drew Lawrence who do u know that was there after curfew
Laura O’Libraryland don’t really think that’s your business
Drew Lawrence i was there too, i think you are making shit up
Laura O’Libraryland I literally do not give a fuck what you think
Drew Lawrence stop lying about what happened-you weren’t there, i was
Drew Lawrence just like that jerk who said they were burning a police car yesterday lol
Laura O’Libraryland I never said I was there you dumbass. You’re a child
And camden & newark peaceful fyi
Laura O’Libraryland go to the asbury park press smartass. Even they are reporting it got violent after curfew. Now be quiet.
Drew Lawrence just a couple stragglers after curfew, quashed quickly.The official 4 hrs peaceful. Don’t listen to me, go see for yourself
So why is downtown boarded up? I get why but seems as if it’s not going to peaceful. Stay safe TRPD
Lisa Fraraccio-Marotta
Michelle Aaliyah reply ok so what does that mean ? The pd meeting you in parking lot for what to give your the permit to protest?
Lisa Fraraccio-Marotta the organizer is not antifa and the police are with the cause of peaceful demonstrations. Like what happened in newark and what happened in camden. Toms River will serve as an example as what a community who believes in justice and equality should look like.
Michelle Aaliyah bit my question is hopefully will all be peaceful but where is the permit coming from that is required
Lisa Fraraccio-Marotta no permit is required to express your constitutional right of protest and freedom of speech. the purpose of this email is to prove organizers are in direct cooperation with the PD and we all have a common goal.
Michelle Aaliyah so why does it state a permit is needed
Lisa Fraraccio-Marotta why are you trying to argue with me? its in black and white, the police department will be there in cooperation with us. I dont see what more i can answer for you.
Michelle Aaliyah I’m not I’m asking a question that you can’t answer as an American I have that right. Pray it all goes down well. But I’m sure trpd will make sure it’s “peaceful”
I’m sorry are you using a wikipedia screenshot for your argument.
Stephen Muller I asked a question about if a permit was needed was curious to know and people are using looting as an excuse to a man who
Lost his life tragically. Stay safe Toms River PD.
Stephen Muller and it wasent an argument don’t make it more than it is it was imply a question that couldn’t be answered by person responding
Michelle Aaliyah lets hope so.
Julie Farrell Todd i can assure you bc i live in TR and I love TR I will be there not only to demonstrate that TR is a just town but to encourage peaceful protests and to intervene with anything that could impede that. Our cause is respectable and even more so heard when it is done in our community with LOVE!!!
Lisa Fraraccio-Marotta ❤️❤️❤️????????????
Lisa Fraraccio-Marotta why not be prepared ? ????????????????
Laura Schneider Lange huh
Michelle Aaliyah seen bits and pieces of protest. Well done ????????????prayers that protests like these continue
Katrina FirstLady
Im here solely to show support and to advise it is not organized by antifa. I have @actiontogethernj on my side as well as the Toms River Police Department
Doesn’t matter, the cops will attack ANYONE out past curfew and the Conservatives will say Antifa was there regardless.
Conservatism is a mental disorder that glorifies the perpetuation of violence.
Alexander C. Ziegler sounds like you have a lot of experience in mental disorders ????
Kathleen Strittmatter I engage with conservatives every day.
Alexander C. Ziegler interesting. I’m too busy working to engage with anyone every day. Lot of free time on your hands?
Abe Froman Yup, but I still get that OT every week.
Really, good point though. You learn that in grade school?
Alexander C. Ziegler your mom taught it to me.
Abe Froman yup sure did
Alexander C. Ziegler you do realize all the violence comes from extreme Democrat liberals don’t you? Conservatives are not out causing violence. They are the ones sitting home waiting to defend their families and property from the violent left wing scumbags like antifa. The only mental disorder here is you
Drew Lawrence Conservatives usually commit their violence in the from of domestic abuse and rape. They’re a real punching down kind of crowed.
I wouldn’t expect a conservative to march in the streets unless it was to get their hair cut or complain that their work isn’t essential enough.
You don’t know anything about Antifa other than what fox news and the president tells you so you can be is little pawn.
Conservatives are good at being pawns.
Antifacsist activists has been fighting Nazis and skinheads in NYC, Boston, and Phili for DECADES, and they only time you hear about them is when there are NeoNazis in Charlottesville (a town my family is from), and when you elect a white supremacist into the white house. Weird
Dave Joyner
Its always peaceful, till it’s not…then it’s too late ????
It’s always peaceful until the cops try to sweep the streets.
Stacy Clayton it can stay peaceful , if there is enough people to keep it that way .
Lock your door don’t leave your house . I live less then a mile from 37????
The riot police will come in and crack down “antifa” or not. Peaceful protesters, little old ladies, children, all of them get rolled over. This has NOTHING to do with evil actors or sedition and everything to do with state control. Curfews exist solely to shrink the size of crowds and justify state violence.

Didn’t say anything about Riots did it? ????????
Tim Reid https://www.facebook.com/242462712507738/posts/3041570362596945/
Yes and they were expecting peaceful protests everywhere else too
All business owners need to carry guns to protect themselves
Sorry buddy, you’re too scared of black folk to be trusted with a gun around them.
Alexander C. Ziegler it’s not about that sir,, it’s about taking care of animals, white,black,green,purple,yellow..thank you for your comment, enjoy your day my friend.
Bill Xiques You calling black folk animals? What do you mean by taking care?
I didn’t say anything about self defense here.
Sound like you are more focused on gunning down black folk than safety.
When you deny other people their humanity, you also deny if for yourself.
Bill Xiques when you act like an animal/savage, you deserve nothing! It’s not even about George Floyd anymore, it’s about destruction/looting/vandalizing!!!
oh sure starts out peaceful then about 8 they are told to leave and all hell breaks out hope it dont get bad but idk having it around all them stores where they r having it hope they boarded up
Conservatives: complaining about beaches being closed and being asked to leave or get a ticket
Also conservatives: happy the police institute a curfew and then an hour after curfew blames the (not rioting) peaceful citizens for cops in riot gear rolling over people
https://youtu.be/QWtnyfNCqQc
Block the trolls and don’t engage. Don’t give them a platform because they won’t go away and they won’t be swayed.
I’m sure the buffoons in Toms River will handle it with ease. Not!
Is there going to be a curfew for tonight. Anyone know??
Stay peaceful with this protest. TR isnt one that will stand by if things get violent.
IIF YOUR GOING TO JUST PROTEST , MAKE SURE UF YOU SEE SOMEONE TRYING TO RIOT TO STOP IT ! this is OUR town , we want to be heard but some people dont know how to just stay peaceful and attack “white people” for sumply being white and we all know tr is filled with people who are by our side . lets make sure if it gets bad it doesnt end that way !
I urge all of you: see for yourselves. Listen to the message of the community leaders. I was in Asbury yesterday. I think you’d be pleasantly surprised at their messages of peace & unity. No hate.
