This thread is the perfect illustration of the manufactured lunacy that plagues our society today.

Describing a known criminal who is both armed and dangerous and who shot 2 police officers in an attempt to evade the law as having been “captured” is the “problem” in this whole tragic episode. Not apparently, the crime itself or the danger this criminal put the general public in when he decided to engage the cops in a gun battle form the roof of a residential building. Or any one of the many alleged criminal acts that brought the cops to his doorstep in the first place.

Lo and behold ; the word police has decreed that the very act of “capturing” this man has magically robbed him of his humanity.

What a clown show we are living in. 🤦🏾

Thank you so much for putting this neat sheet together! I recognized 80% of the names.

I'm using criminals in a general sense, hence the quotations.

When a police officer of the community is shot, there's a gigantic uproar. The governor has to get involved and you have literally hundreds of officers stationed outside in my neighborhood.

When a citizen is shot, it's just gang violence. In fact, it's just another Tuesday for some of y'all.

Two things can be true at the same time. The alleged shooter was apprehended. He does not need to be dehumanized for the hell of it.

He hasn't gone to trial yet. There's no footage of him shooting. He's still innocent until proven guilty...or is that only a thing we say when the roles are reversed and the aggressor is an officer?

When there's a community uproar of another unarmed black person being shot, we're told to wait for the facts. We're told not to talk shit about the offending officer or his department.

Don't project your own "self reflection" insecurities onto me.

I like how you have criminals in quotes. Seems to me that you are more concerned with the verbiage used to describe this criminal, than you are that a police officer of the community was shot.

Maybe you have some self reflection to do.

Interested in what people here think about how this commission nitpicks every little thing for historic homes. It’s like an HOA from hell.

Probably not going to happen, I heard it was a scam to sell the land, hopefully it isn’t true but maybe they looking for financing and Covid delayed it maybe

Apprehended. Stop being disingenuous.

This isn't the wild west anymore. "Criminals" are people who have done bad things. People who are apprehended and sent to trial.

Describing them as criminals you need to capture is dehumanizing.

This is hilarious. We can’t “capture” criminals on the run now. 🤣🤣🤣 Please educate us on the correct verb to use in a situation like this.

Lol

Kaleb carrying the sub as usual

Love how it says "captured" like he's a fucking animal.

He's a piece of shit, but is also now a victim to the dehumanization of incarcerated black men.

Edit: I'm backed by science so please, kindly, fuck off

The Roles of Dehumanization and Moral Outrage in Retributive Justice

What's the status of 900 Broad Street? (After it got approved)

Great news.

Hey so I made an updated list of all the buildings Newark already have or will have. I was bored so decided to do my own list, pretty cool to compare all the buildings together. Enjoy!!!!!!

Oh definitely not. Not with this work from home environment.

Speaking of Prudential do you think they will ever build the 2nd office tower?

This looks nice.

Thank you, one of my greatest skills

Damn Kaleb. You write so beautifully, it's hard to nail down where we disagree.

Facts, I feel like this tower closes the gap between midtown and downtown. Plus this area could use some more attention. The light rail and broad street station and minutes away, this part of downtown should be something like NYC midtown. I want different parts of downtown to feel and look different yet be connected at the same time

Central has potential all the way to the Orange.

I am pretty much cities like New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and maybe Chicago look more like an American city than Newark, since they have more art deco towers than we do and more modern towers than we do. I am not gonna lie I love our art deco style buildings there great and beautiful but it doesn’t mean we have to only build art deco moving forward in Newark. Our skyline should be diverse, Newark is a diverse city, imagine someone saying that Newark should only be black and we should embrace bring more black people to the city.

Doesn't look anything like halo?

Personally, I like it. Including the stark contrast with surrounding buildings

It's a pretty key location too at the intersection of central and broad, which currently doesn't have a ton going on. If this tower can do for the immediate surrounding area, what Prudential has done for it's immediate surround area it'll be transformative.

It also starts to link already, and currently developing areas, around Pru/whole foods and NJPAC respectively.

I don't like this design at all. Newark Skyline is beautiful with that art deco style. This is an American style that we should embrace
