The recent flareup appears to be Black victims, but the street element of Blacks,Hispanics, and Arabs is VERY visible in Paterson and has been for a while. I was wondering out loud why the one guy decided to make this thread about BLM.

I think I also wanted to ask you, as a guy from there what set off the recent murders?

Main Street from crooks to Madison is a 90% Muslim neighborhood. The rest of the city is mostly black and Latino. The recent rise has nothin to do with bloods or crips it has to do with neighborhood beefs. Mainly what they call up the hill and down the hill. U have blood an crips fighting onthe same side because thy are from the same hood. The county jail used to be separated by gang units. Now it's by where you're from. Its crazy. If you happened to notice a lot of Arabs u probably were I the south paterson area of Main Street which leads downtown. As u get past south p u run into school 8(latino) then it's mostly Latino until u could turn left on broadway which will take u to the fourth ward a predominantly black hood. It's the most dangerous area and a high drug zone. But there's a few other spots that are hot as hell as well as far as violence. Like I said its a block and neighborhood thing right now that's making it bubble.
