Editor\’s Note: In our previous article we looked at the fines that can be imposed on people who violate the Gloucester City Housing Code Chapter 25. In this article, a resident, who claims he has been harassed by the City’s Housing Office, speaks his mind. His allegations are followed by a response from Housing Officer Joe Stecklair. Links to the previous articles on this topic appear below. PART ONE HERE

 I read your article \”Blight is Spreading in Gloucester City\” and believe I have an equally important or more important topic for your website. That is the true story behind the scenes. That of a lazy housing department ticketing houses that are well maintained while failing to go after houses of absent landlords or those that are truly in a state of disrepair. I have included photos of my house. A house that received a $350 bill for lawn cutting only one week after it was cut by myself. A house that has been ticketed every spring for the last 15 years by a lazy housing inspections crew who comes around every spring after heavy rains looking for that one day or two before the next cutting when they can hand out a needless and unwarranted complaint to justify their positions.

The only question about President Obama’s surprise Trayvon Martin expostulation on Friday is whether it was the worst speech he’s ever given or simply the worst race-related speech. Obama has now put the presidential imprimatur on the crudest kind of racial victimology, in the process diminishing his office and undermining his own record of occasionally speaking the truth about inner-city dysfunction.

Obama begins with a perfunctory nod toward respecting the jury’s not-guilty verdict in the George Zimmerman murder trial. (Zimmerman, as the world knows, was a neighborhood-watch volunteer in a community that had been plagued by black burglaries; he shot and killed the 17-year-old Trayvon Martin during a fight after wrongly suspecting the unarmed teen of being a neighborhood intruder.) Obama then launches into a lesson, presumably for the edification of clueless whites, about the \”context\” of the trial and \”how [black] people have responded to it and how people are feeling.\” According to Obama, there is nary a law-abiding black man today who has not been the object of fear and suspicion as he goes about his business:

There are very few African-American men in this country who haven’t had the experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store. That includes me.

The animals pictured below car-jacked then raped Christopher Newsom, cut off his penis, set him on fire and fatally shot him several times while they forced his girlfriend, Channon Christian, to watch. An even more cruel fate awaited her!
