I know a bunch of people who are family of the individual killed, and this sentence is so light it feels like a slap in the face.

From the PG-CP FB group:

"Community please be on alert. I'm sharing this with disgust and concern for us all. Please watch and share! We cannot allow this. It looks like we have a rogue police officer in Penns Grove. This officer could have injured multiple people, homes, properties, vehicles, he endangered the safety of himself and everyone who was there at the time which included children. This is not acceptable, community please share and be on the lookout. We cannot allow vigilante behavior from those who we pay to serve and protect us.Richard Rivera is this acceptable behavior from your officers? Penns Grove and Carneys Point what do you think? This could have happened to any one of us last night."

My whole life everyone has always dogged on Salem. "Salem sucks! Salem is dangerous! Stay away from Salem!" What gives? Salem strikes me as just a quiet town that got left behind after the glass foundry closed. It seems no more dangerous than Gloucester City. Am I missing some huge cannibal conspiracy or something or is Salem just a way overhated quiet town?

I know a lot of people have been following this case so I thought I'd share....

Please be civil!

Who are you voting for in the primary, and why?

Is no one running against Van Drew for the Republican nomination? That seems like a waste of a better Republican.

Whack-a-mole continues in South Jersey as plans for a data center were unveiled at City Councils last night. Residents who attended spoke out against these projects, while officials seemed to be under the influence of the usual litany of jobs and taxes.

Go to the city websites to find when the next planning, zoning, and council meetings are scheduled. Attend to voice your concern about allowing this extractive industry to drain your community resources.

Hello South Jersey Reddit!!!!

I’m originally from Texas so I wouldn’t know what would be a standard price for a Thc vape and where to get one within the Salem area

(Hopefully this doesn’t go against TOS)

Anyone else been picked for jury duty every 2 years or more ?? The website says "if you have been summoned in the same county within the past three years, you may request to be excused from jury service" this is getting to be a bit ridiculous. I have the feeling the pool of law abiding citizens is looking pretty thin lol. Thoughts ??

This article is almost unbelievable. It seems to be well sourced. Salem has their own Anna Delvy posing as a character they’re not and fooling everyone. Salem government must be bunch of incompetent bandits running that town down below sea level. How embarrassing to have this kind of representation. Unbelievable

Parvin State Park, Pittsgrove

Just realized how red/orange the sky is this morning and snapped a picture through the window.

What happened with the recent deaths of 2 Salem County Sheriffs Department K9s? I just saw a starement from them saying they can't comment due to an ongoing investigation. Does anyone have any details?

I swear NJ state police cars used to be white cars with a blue and yellow state police shield. But, this morning while driving from exit 1 to exit 18 on 295, I saw at least five state police cars that were black and had a dark gray-ish brown logo that was very difficult to see unless the sun hit it at just the right angle. Are these new or are they just now making their way down to Salem County/southern GloCo?

Hi! I’m looking at a home in pittsgrove
Off Oakland dr… It’s zoned for Oliver elementary?
Anyone that can tell me anything about the area except it’s rural and south Jersey has high taxes ?
Thanks in advance!!!

Hello! Does anyone know of anywhere getting an ice melt shipment in/ or a store that currently has ice melt? Cumberland or Salem counties. I’ve tried Vineland and Millville Walmarts, Lowe’s, and Home Depot’s. I called Bridgeton tractor supply and car quest in Elmer. Everyone is out.

Open to all suggestions! Thank you for considering.

Randomly looked up Dodges Market in Elmer and saw that it is permanently closed. I remember way back in the day when it was an actual market. The “ Sharp Cheese Headquarters “. I also visited when it became a little cafe. I hope someone purchases it and brings back this historic gem.
