Helps, too, to know a little about the town of Nutley. It's been an upper-middle haven since the 19th century... tree lined streets... long ago, heavily German-American but almost exclusively Italian-American for 50 or 75 years. Planning on taking a northern NJ Sopranos tour? You'll wind up in Nutley; that's where character Christopher Moltisanti shot up the bakery staff when he couldn't get his sfogliatella quickly enough.
For decades, one Italian-American family owned the local newspaper and occupied the mayor's office; the library board is run by decree by a 90+-year-old capo. You get the idea - the connectedness helps keep the town pure and unsullied (wink, wink), and the locals like it that way.
Not surprising that the PD would take umbrage at someone making such an out-of-line request targeting goomba officer PJ. And the requester is lucky that the response was only a threatened indictment, and not a horse's head.
Too bad this statute has been invalidated... I found it helpful!
When I look at that handbill, I understand that Adolph Hitler has risen from the dead, his scorched molecules reassembled themselves, and he was running for office in Tennessee in 2009. It could also be that he successfully slipped away to Brazil in 1945, and chose to run for office at a spry 119 years of age; but I'm not too sure about that.
But either way, this whole thing has created confusion in my mind... and isn't that the best reason to criminalize something?
Hmm... both fitness and finance, whichever Financial Moxie addresses, can really make a person work up a powerful thirst. So imagine searching for the solace (or services) that FM can offer, and instead winding up here:
