Toms River: Protesters have now taken to both sides of N.J. 37 at the N.J. 166 intersection. Police are on scene currently, and it has remained peaceful on the side of the road thus far. We heard there were two bus loads of people attempting to join the protesters, but NJSP made the busses turn around.

That was my get home route if downtown was busy. Any word about courthouse area?
Jim Peck i live in the courthouse area, quite as of rn!
EB Bissey thank you.
No one is down on main street
Paul Warren thank you
Of course its not over until the violence takes over..scumbags
Keep your hatred in check. All was peaceful. Police joined in solidarity. Crowd is gone. Be better!
When the bus loads come, the trouble will start. Should end it before 8.
Glad njsp made buses leave , njsp and trpd keep eyes open for after dark as I’m sure they will be back or were dropped off else where in the area waiting to start riots after dark
There were buses…kindly provided by TRPD to shuttle the marchers back to their cars in the parking lot!
No other buses.
Great! They’ll prolly take it out on the driver!
its far from over it starts bad at nite hope they dont do to much
Thought the protest was over.
No still going
No source for the ” NJSP made them turn around”?
Why make a hinderance and rubbernecking on a major highway?
Jenna Barea I drove by it twice theres no rubbernecking
good
Glad state police turned buses away….good..
Barbara Somes doesn’t mean anything , they can find back ways ….
Mike Rizzuto I know…let me have my happy moment …
Barbara Somes lol ???? sorry
Those 2 busses were 100% going to be the people who started a riot.
Kyle Patrick and looting
Kyle Patrick my feeling too.
bet these buses that was turned around bet they will still show up this all is so sad
What I want to know: Will the group that hired them to come to Toms River to loot, shoot, & burn, still pay them, now that the police turned them away?
Lauren Ann
Who were on the buses and where did they come from? This is when the shit starts when the buses come and it gets dark out!
Connie Remite-Slonaker Soros buslines
Dean Booth exactly!!!! They should have detained them all checked who they working for gaurentee bout and pd for by soros like the rest
Do you know how easy it is to arrest somebody trying to loot then get back on a bus? Lol ???? ????
Flatten all the bus tires just like these protesters do to police cars
“We heard there were two bus loads of people attempting to join the protesters, but NJSP made the busses turn around.” Any source?
Ryan Wasielewski
Store manager at one of the shops in the plaza. We’re attempting to confirm the validity.
Ocean County Scanner News No offense. You may want to redact that until confirmed, rather then spreading false info. I like you guys, We are just in a time were we need accurate and confirmed info.
This page is hilarious ????.
Ryan Wasielewski wouldn’t be the first news org to share false info. trump did it in his speech yesterday!
Martin Brown I know. Which is why I asked about it
Ocean County Scanner News how’s that working out for ya? Busloads… LOL
Ocean County Scanner News did you confirm ? Did you confirm the target post ? it’s all “I heard “ too many shares based on “I heard”
Hopefully things don’t get crazy tonight
Photos in article
Ocean County Scanner News not showing
Christopher Gaffney
Andrew Pollinger I found ya buddy
Jonathan Hyland text me and show me where ! I can’t look right now
Andrew Pollinger I just sent it to you a little bit ago
Jennifer Graf
Peaceful protest over . . . now the looting and riots start when it gets dark. Stay safe our men in blue!????
Kristine Howlett
EVROPA and ANTIFA are not welcome here! Be safe TR PD! You did a great job today marching with the protesters and showing your support.
Bernie Neuhaus update
So many negative people on here. The young woman who organized this purposely said she chose early hours so it would be done early to avoid issues. Its a shame how some people can’t find the good in anything
Kasmira Ferguson we all love seeing peaceful protesters and support them. We fear that outsiders, not the organizers, are the ones who infiltrate and cause chaos. It’s a genuine concern. No wants anyone hurt or businesses damaged.
Cristine Schrantz Porter and the protest have been in NJ so why invoke fear in people and cause and spread alarm? That is taking away from the protest.
Kasmira Ferguson they all haven’t been. AC wasn’t.
She is doing amazing! Great turn out.. they are still out there but I’m sure it will be over soon before dark. Very peaceful
Cristine Schrantz Porter and we aren’t AC! Camden and Newark were despite others people’s attempts to make it otherwise. Can we stop looking for the bad and just allow a peaceful protest without the negative commentary?
Cristine Schrantz Porter soros funded thugs we are worried about
Keep outsiders out
Kasmira Ferguson and how is it taking away from the protests? We have legitimate concerns. Look what’s happening around the country. Look at what happened in NY for the last two nights. There’s no reason for you to question our concerns.
Kasmira Ferguson you’re being melodramatic.
Kasmira Ferguson after days of peaceful protest that turned bad once outsiders came in and the sun sets, do you not even suspect the same could happen here? We are all – black, white, Latino, police, mothers, fathers- all decent people sick of the killing.
Cristine Schrantz Porter no I’m not. Your more worried about a damn peaceful protest than the reason it is occurring.
Denise Langone Howell Pettersen no I don’t! And if or does black lives mean more and that is the message. The protestors aren’t causing harm but the group dropping off pallets of bricks are!
Kasmira Ferguson your gaslighting bs isn’t going to work with me, sweetie.
Cristine Schrantz Porter its not gas lighting. Its the truth. You’re being melodramatic dear.
Why is a protest needed in every town…especially since the message is being hijacked by all the jackasses rioting and looting. It’s all negative now.
Karen Dewar why not? It’s to send a message and try and unite everyone.
Karen Dewar agreed. It’s been a week. Now allow the family to grieve and justice to be served.
Cristine Schrantz Porter you hit the nail on the head and the reason for the protests. There is NO justice hence the problem. You’d prefer everyone sat home and did nothing?
Kasmira Ferguson I prefer that you start making it about George Floyd and stop making it about an endless protest. At this point you’re accomplishing nothing.
Cristine Schrantz Porter you are not getting it. Stop responding just to respond and listen. Open your ears and listen. This protest is about the civil unjust treatment and murder of black and brown people across the US. Its not just about George Floyd. Unfortunately he was the latest in this horrible behavior that has existed for too many years. Its about the killing of unarmed black men and women that too many people are okay with and how it needs to change. Read a book and open your mind and heart.
Kasmira Ferguson don’t tell me to stop responding. I’m exercising MY rights. You’re making it about yourself now, which is a shame.
Cristine Schrantz Porter read again what I wrote. At what point did I say do not respond? Reading to comprehend and reading just to respond are two different things.
Have a good day.
Kasmira Ferguson it’s been a week of violence and looting. Are you going to organize a protest for the black police officer who was killed this week by rioters?
Kasmira Ferguson I’m not bashing your ideals or saying the peaceful message shouldn’t go out. Now that the outrage is known, every peaceful protest invites the hostile aftermath.
Please stay safe and keep these protests non-violent.
Lori DeMarco
Marisa Danielle Bowman
Why are people being bussed in. That’s how the looting starts
Janine Lewis
Who tells people ahead of time when they are going to loot the mall?? Hello officer, I’m going to commit a crime now, look at me.!
I don’t understand why there are buses being bused into different cities to “join” the protest! Stay in your town where you belong and stay the fuck out of ours!!!
Pamela Wishart-Benkovich someone paid for the buses and paid the people (allegedly it’s $200 upfront) to ride down here.
Sharon Lynn Huber none of that is confirmed. A hoax went around in 2017, and somebody copy/pasted it. People will believe anything.
Pamela Wishart-Benkovich
Sharon Lynn Huber I cant! As if this state hasn’t gone through enough!!!
Hanna Demartino
Candace Brandtjen sickening
Jean Amato Henrich
This is live at rt 37. Only demonstration is eastbound
And suddenly corona virus is over. What a joke
Shari Brucker Stopera that is the lead story!
Patricia Paugh
Between wall,howell,state troopers any org that is here to do damage have been on radar I’m sure..and if anything were to start there would be no way out..helicopters, dogs , drones, lol..people like me if caught on my property with intentions to harm… the math for Antifa or any such org is a 0. Any equation they end up dog shit on the bottom of patriotic boots…
Steve Ewing please stand up for my home. I’m not there. I moved to CT. Crazy here too. My wife and I are purchasing our first gun real soon.
Likely why the organizer sent notices for protesters to not go to Point Pleasant. Cut off the 2 bridges, they’d be screwed.
Steve Ewing NOBODY IS ATTACKING FUCKING RESIDENCES STEVE. stop fucking fear mongering.
Martin Brown I don’t think anything I said was fear-mongering
Not sure if you’re from the area but these are local people that understand it was not too long ago somebody from Newark New Jersey came down here with a bomb in their backpack so being informative is very important at this time
Michael Hayes Moore I don’t think anything is going to happen out here like we’re watching on television police in this area are extremely tuned in to a lot more than what people know about on Facebook they’re very talented people very career-minded and involved in our communities…
Stay safe and post whatever you feel like posting on Facebook that helps I’m sure
Martin Brown sir, attacking innocent people and businesses that have nothing to do with the murder of George Floyd is despicable and violent behavior on its face. Have you not seen the destruction and violence across the country? People who wish to speak out about protecting their homes and families have every right. It’s protecting their own, not fear mongering.
Nancy C. Reader yeah, nobody’s standing with looting or rioting, but there have been literally zero attacks against homes. zero. people who are commenting saying they’re getting guns or are fearful are just getting ensnared in trumps inflammatory remarks yesterday.
Martin Brown what is your solution? what would you do if you were president since your making this political..like the media is doing…at the same time…
Steve Ewing I know. I grew up in Bayville.
Martin Brown not ensnared at all by our great Presidents remarks. My wife and I have been talking about getting a gun for awhile. Stop Judging! I live in a city and someone tried to break into one of the town homes in my community. I also live very close to a very high crime area. Also, if these soft liberal leaders don’t get tough, houses will be next. These ANTIFA type thugs will keep pushing until they’re fully stopped.
Steve Ewing I agree. At this point anything is possible. We need to be prepared.
Nancy C. Reader well said
Terrible .. the planned protest today was really well planned and delivered. These outsiders need to spoil everything!! I hope peaceful remains the terms of the night!
I really hope they arent going to ruin today’s peaceful protest reputation. Everyone was so professional and respectful earlier.
Why don’t the get the plate numbers from the buses and see who is chartering or owns these buses?
Teresa Polek-Cummiskey won’t matter they work with the democratic GOVERNORS!!!!!
Kim Podesta seriously, where do you get your misinformation?
For heaven’s sake, there ARE NO BUSES!
Sally O. Noone
Saw this a little while ago. Seemed peaceful and orderly. I was just driving on 37 though.
But it started at 10 AM enough is enough.
enough is enough, exactly what they are saying.
And remember, this can go on but your kids can’t graduate
Shari Brucker Stopera blame the Govenor for that one. Apparently freedom to protest far outweighs the need to practice social distancing ????
Sharon Lynn Huber oh i blame him 100 percent.
Our governor is a scumbag liberal POS
Shari Brucker Stopera my husband and I just said that. And just like that, corona is gone !
Lara McSparkles and let these kids graduate!!!
Shari Brucker Stopera absolutely!!
Shari Brucker Stopera actually, it’s up to the school district to make the decision, not the governor.
Thank you NJ State Police for not allowing more bus loads of “protesters” into town.
The local police can only handle so much. Imagine how effed we would be if they were outnumbered by a bunch of thugs
I wouldn’t be mad if you burned down Lakewood
Lyle Grant human beings of varied races, colors and creeds live in Lakewood. People like you incite more HATE, BIGOTRY, ANTI-SEMITISM. Another un-American American!????
Just say what you mean, don’t try to hide it.
Lauren Jamison Carol Shaw Barbara Bell
Valerie Gurba saw it. Rumors about the mall tonight.
Carol Shaw people are gathering there now.
Valerie Gurba wanna go lol lol!!!
Carol Shaw nope.
They have the mall blocked off. As of now.
Is there a curfew in TR tonight?
Beverly Reilly Ombres certainly hope so!
Dirtbags
I know, messing with those peaceful protesteds, get a life.
Regina A. Harvilla Murray
I passed there 40 minutes ago and they were only standing on the grass in front of Kohl’s. They weren’t on both sides of 37 and all seemed pretty peaceful.
Only on east bound side I saw
Doreen Sharo
Deanna Wall Danette Wall Hempel Kelly Provenzano
Christine Shecton I was some live feed seems peaceful now and her the one lady tell the police she was going to make sure it stayed that way
Hopefully we have a happy ending
Danette Wall Hempel I wonder where the two busses where coming from?
Danette Wall Hempel I like happy endings
Darryl Haley ????♀️????????????
Tiffany Tafaro
Rebecca Huber they just protesting on corner….not bein a problem!
Protesters aren’t the concern. It’s the looters which are a separate group. Thugs. Stay safe all!

Well planned events by Democrats to destroy America……
Chuck Cumella how ignorant of you. Educate yourself.
Mara Candelario Really. You have no idea who you are dealing with. Have a great life. Go hide under a rock and vote for creepy joe Biden. I’m sure that he’ll do great if he remembers to use the bathroom
Chuck Cumella funny how Trumpers just love deflecting and push the “this side vs that side” rhetoric. ????
Pamela Nobbs Enjoy your life. I’ve finally enjoyed mine after that pos Obama was gone. We had the best market, lowest unemployment and best economy in 50 years yet the Democrats complain. Go hide under your bed and wear a mask forever and enjoy eating cat food. Oh and if creepy joe gets in hoping that he wipes his ass
Chuck Cumella
Chuck Cumella we literally held signs on the side of the road showing nothing but love and were supported by about 95% of the people driving by. How does this “destroy America.?”
Anthony Belluardo outstanding. I’m proud of you. I’m hoping that nothing happens tonight. God bless America and out GREAT PRESIDENT TRUMP ????????????????????????❤️
Here we go!
Christopher John Oshaughnessy Jr.
Ed Denzler
Bet money them 2 buses are full of Bezos boys
Michelle Cappuccino Nicole Hartung
Devon Madeo TaiMarie Ruiz-Blackburn. It’s starting to heat up
James Blackburn it will
James Blackburn oh boy
Two buses shipping in trouble…
I recommend sharp
Shooters on the building. Ya never know… better to be prepared
Those buses were probably paid protesters
Paid Rioters.
Al Gonzo no doubt
Carrie Steakin Richter see outsiders
Michele Lynn yep ????♀️????
Ryan things aren’t completely done yet
Nathaniel Long nope . Going to be a long night
I’m loaded up
Paid protesters are not welcome!!
Interesting to see how the night goes… but why buses trying to get to TR? Didn’t hear any reports of buses try to get to Asbury last night??
John Schnell they took the train
Hmm ????
I passed there went through town at 4:45 coming home from work and didn’t see a thing.
Dawn E. Olmesdahl-Baxter same legit nothing
Shannon Gonzalez I was going to avoid my regular commute home from Lakewood to Bayville and saw that the protest was over and peaceful so I went like I normally do and NADA.
Dawn E. Olmesdahl-Baxter they must have cleared them out. I hope it stays that way and everyone stays safe. ❤️
Shannon Gonzalez me too. Praying tonight stays peaceful ????????.
Stirring up trouble once again I see OC scanner news!!!
Here it comes
Joe Faronea
Cory Cordasco
PROTECT YOUR family and business AT ALL COSTS…..????????????????????????
I find it hilarious that people say it’s not organization.
Scott Therrien
Passed it about 10 minutes ago annnnnnd nothing ????
Shannon Gonzalez heard the same.
Shannon Gonzalez at 5 pm, the local authorities respectfully asked us to leave after being their for 8 hours! And like the peaceful protest this was, it remained peaceful and everybody won’t home.
Anthony Belluardo good for you all ❤️
What I want to know: Will the group that hired them to come to Toms River to loot, shoot, & burn, still pay them, now that the police turned them away?
They were out all day since 10am. They never stopped, just stopped being covered by any news or barely any streamers.
Here print dozens of these out and spread them around, think they will get the message? Probably not.
George Worthington but they’re not looting. They are standing on the side of the road holding signs. They have been peaceful all day. Is that you hate the right to protest in general or just hate those who protest against things that you don’t agree with?
Kevin Walls what may happen when the sun goes down and the creeps come out of the shadows or haven’t you been watching TV?
George Worthington I do know that spots have had major issues and others have remained peaceful. I won’t assume that people who have been peaceful literally all day long will suddenly turn violent because others have.
Busses are fake news fear mongoring. I am currently in the plaza and no one is here. The crowd dispersed at set time they told police they would. I watched people respectfully acknowledge the timeframes, pack up and leave.
The ones bused in are the problem
turn them outsiders away now hopefully they don’t go to the mall as planned
there was 5 people on the other side of rt 37 lol hahaha omg..
Greg Rinaldi what time did you go by? Because their was never less then 100 people…Until TRPD respectfully asked us to leave.
Anthony Belluardo you right. there was 100 by office lounge and like 5 sitting on grass by spirits unlimited .was thre from noon to 4
Bussing in the real agitators right b4 dark.
I heard ppl get paid to protest . I swear. Wonder if there’s any truth to it ? Random buses !!! Hhmmm
Toni Barroqueiro I was out there earlier today and no one paid me to do it.
Rae Rae ????
Toni Barroqueiro Truth! They aren’t people you want to be around either.
Stacey Dennis my husband is a Newark cop .
Toni Barroqueiro there absolutely is truth to it. It’s been going on all over the country.
Why did this get started in the first place? Someone’s idea. Puts us all in jeopardy
Melissa Feliciano wow .
Toni Barroqueiro And people on welfare drive BMW’s!
Toni Barroqueiro Antifa pays people to join in
If people were paid, there would be actual proof instead of the hearsay that runs rampant here. Like videos of people getting paid and the like
Toni Barroqueiro ?
Alex Adamek it’s not just being said on here. There are paid protestors just like there are paid crisis actors as well.
Toni Barroqueiro No disrespect by any means. I just didn’t know where that comment came from or what it had to do with what we were talking about. I wasn’t sure if I misunderstood or missed something.
Now that it’s starting to get a little dark how is it on 37
Diana Lipman-Malko was wondering the same
Stacey Dennis I just went past the mall and there’s cop cars in every entrance
Diana Lipman-Malko any people?
Stacey Dennis No not at this time there was rumor that people were coming there so they’re prepared
I don’t think it’s the same protesting group that was out all day because they were OK I think I said two busloads of people that were coming in they got turned away
Diana Lipman-Malko prayers ????
Stacey Dennis Always
As long as there are no thugs!
Me n my girl needs new jordans men 12 ladies 7 bout time the mall opened
I hate when people exercise constitutional rights
People are really upset that people are upset that police murder people.
Passed by there at 7:15 or so and all peaceful protesting
Is there a curfew?
Thank to the NJSP for turning away the buses. All for peaceful demonstrations!
So, all of a sudden social distancing is suspended for the protestors, but G-d forbid law abiding citizens can go out to dinner?
Doug Ronald way to prioritize going out to dinner over equality of justice in your country
Doug Ronald yes because going out to dinner is protected by the constitution. If you were not such a good slave you would protest your isolation.
What pretty ???? flowers
Scares the Hell out of Me!
Pamela Pete what scares me is there’s a protest Sat in Lakewood ?????
Pamela Pete proving part of the problem. POC are forced to carry the burden of other people’s fear.
Any activity still going on???
Where did the buses get diverted to?
Barbara Niess NJ TRANSIT must limit capacity on all trains, buses, light rail vehicles, and paratransit vehicles to 50 percent of their maximum. Chances are if there were 2 busses they weren’t filled with ppl because that would be a violation to order 125 . People just wish for worse so they can receive sympathy
Barbara Niess Disinformation must not be “your thing” …
I heard the buses are filled with viruses and are going to our schools!
Soros really pulled out all the stops on this one w his dirty money. Meanwhile Killary went to court today! False flags to distract and divide us!
Find that cock sucker soros and hand the piece of shit.
Good the Murph man had police doing something
Bus people only there to start trouble
On this day, 31 May 1927, Fred Trump, the father of US president Donald Trump, was arrested at a rally of the Ku Klux Klan in Queens, New York.
He was initially arrested for “refusing to disperse” along with six other people after the rally descended into disorder. The Long Island Daily Press reported that all seven arrestees were wearing Klan robes.
After Donald Trump was endorsed by David Duke, the former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, Trump was questioned about his father’s arrest. Donald claimed to journalist Jason Horowitz that “it never happened”, despite it being reported in several newspapers. When Horowitz asked Trump if the address reported for his father in the newspapers, 175-24 Devonshire Rd, was accurate, Donald dismissed it as “totally false”. However Fred Trump’s wedding announcement in the Daily Press listed his address at 175-24 Devonshire Rd.
Fred Trump was subjected to legal action by the Justice Department on multiple occasions for racist behaviour as a landlord, and one of his former tenants, folk singer Woody Guthrie once wrote in a song mentioning Trump: “I suppose / Old Man Trump knows / Just how much / Racial Hate / He stirred up”.
Shut up with these bullshit lies.
There were no buses. No violence or even cursing or littering. We didnt cross 37. All news is fake.
They were on both sides at 37 I personally saw them so if different is Jay Jansen is a liar
Donna M. Heath 100%!!! And they evacuated Target for ???? & giggles I guess???? Jay Jansen is lying
Good for the State police, why didn’t other cities do that. So simple.
Its like a national Karen convention up in these comments.
Good job NJSP ????????????????
Good job NJSP. Thank you! We don’t need people coming to TR from outside the area to cause trouble!
We heard 4 spaceships got by Gen Bonespurs mothership and are presently circling that same location throwing bibles out to the people.
