I have been receiving and reading this policy blotter entries for the past several months. I am horrified at the amount of crime that has been taking place in my own backyard, so to speak, in Aberdeen. What are we doing wrong as a community? What can we do to be proactive to stop, or at the very least, minimize the amount of robberies, stabbings, thefts, etc.? I used to feel extraordinarily safe in this community; that feeling unfortunately has slipped away, BIG time.

should read * police blotter

Agree..don't feel very safe here anymore

Once again, an anonymous parasite on society whose upbringing didn't include the meanings of the words "honor" "dignity" and "respect" has made their disregard of norms in society another infamous statistic. Hope the driver heals and recovers and suffers a bout of temporary insanity if the assailant walks in front of his cab again.

Time to install a wire cage between the driver and passenger in the cabs??

My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and his family. Not so sure this is the place I want to raise my children anymore. The nonsense with the BOE and the crime lately is redicilious. I could have stayed in hudson co, payed less in propert taxes and had the same results. What am I paying almost 10k a year for? really?

This is really sad to read. I'm from this town and heard it all the way in Georgia. Was thinking to move back there but not with all the crime. I have to pick a new location in Jersey. Lets get it together people. Get to know your neighbors and get involved

we do pay way too much in taxes to be our own crime stoppers. What can WE do to make this right? This is an issue that does not need to be slept on. I hope it can get better for our children and future.

It's the Republicans fault!

I don't think it matters where you live. THe economy is bad and people are desperate for whatever wrong doing there involved in. It's up to us to protect ourselves as much as possible. Trusting people is over...sad but true. The wire cage between the passenger and driver is a must but what stops a bullet? This poor cab driver trying to make a living ... very very sad. I don't know WHAT the answer is.

We wish the driver a speedy recovery. It's sad to hear such bad news, in such a nice community.

Bad economy+moral decline....very dangerous job to be a cab driver....you never know what the person in your car is thinking or is capable of.
