  Everyday shootings and murder on Paterson streets. The perps and victims are so, so young. Why is nothing being done?

This everyday shooting needs to be addressed. Whats going to happen when the violence knocks on the door of the mayor? We need a state of emergency, a curfew, and stop and frisk. How many more are we waiting for to get shot? What are we waiting for, a family member or child of a council member to get shot before action is taken? Mr. Mayor, you need to ask for help. Ask the state troopers to assist.
