Newark, Belleville ShitShow. Water main break leaves 100k without water.

[3Hotdogs]

I live across the street from Newark. We have water. There is an apartment complex 1/8 mile away from my house. Ten thousand people live in those buildings. People are coming to houses on my street, asking for water. We are happy to supply them with water. I estimate that we have given over 2,000 gallons of water during the day and evening.

Now, where it gets wacky. Ras Baraka, Mayor of Newark is driving around with bottles of water in his car, giving them out.

Why isn't he asking the governor for emergency assistance? Why hasn't he asked the governor to request F.E.M.A. assistance with water tankers?

The whole official response is jerked off.


Carry on.

1. It's Newark, you expect better? When I lived in Elizabeth I was impressed when I reported...

a broken main and it was fixed within hours. Then, Elizabeth sold the water works to some private operator.

2. The water main is beyond "fixable" in hours.

The flood it created is a river. It completely swallowed a car.

3. That's a serious break. Throughout the Northeast we have..

to deal with so much stuff over a hundred years old that I'm surprised we don't have even more problems.
