I was born and raised in Paterson 45yrs. And as I got older and wiser..it's clear to see those in office want the town and people to remain suppressed. Doesn't matter what race you are, they make it a struggle from assistance to health care. It's a cycle of anger from one generation to the next. If you see a barefoot homeless human eating from the garbage in front of city hall you know that's a problem with those trusted to better the community. Somewhere between the 80's to present, a lot of people have lost regard to human life. Get some people that have lived the struggle in those seats. When it comes down to it, (like myself) if you could feed a family of four on $50 for week then just imagine how the budget would be handled. Lastly, all the comments made how people from P town are all trash just isn't the case. I happened to raise three successful college grads with great careers all in the field of helping people. Yes, there are some really messed up people running the streets but there a whole lot more good, real people in Paterson.
Reading way to much into my comment. I wasn't necessarily talking about physical appearance such as buildings, apartments or houses, I was talking about the mindset and a common atmosphere of all hoods
Yeaj jersey is a gang bangin state thats why they like CA...they got alot of cities with gangs and i see why ppl say it look different cause LA is a flat eastcoast that gang bang like jersey..they bloods but they rep their own turf and thats what they do
The guy on the left is wise. Clearly understands personal responsibility, his mistake that got him in prison and learned from it. Isn't using today's typical political excuses such as blaming it on the white man(as he said) or the police.
I don't know what you mean that paterson nj use to have honor before, there were no honor back then when I was growing up, just as it is now. Back in public school 4. I was in multiple fights over the years, children braws. but each and every time I fought back with only my fists, until the opponent gave up, a honorable fight. I was committed and strap to a hospital bed, from feet to head, in and out, of hospitals for a minimum of a week, other times, months,against my will. When I was beaten up, and gave up, the other kids don't get any consequence by the teachers, not even detention. My friends, the ones I gave cloths from my closet, yearly, my family I talk to prouding, my community I love to a point I don't even lock my door. When I needed help with bruises, broken bones, from outnumber fights, at minimum 5 to 1, no one open the doors and pickup the phones, when I ask for backup. corrupted doctors too overjoy with a pen when it comes to perjury, no attorney answer their voicemail. I self taught myself programming, but barely graduated high school,apparently death threats in class wasn't a good excuse. Paterson never had honor.

Paterson back in the day meaning 60s 70s was a shopping destination. The Great Falls , Garrett Mountain , Great stores , and excellent restaurants. Unfortunately this town is a craphole now as well as Jersey City and Newark , also known for the same including historical value. . Always trying to come out of the hole but never seem to be able to do it. The politicians including Cory Booker have failed at reviving these iconic Jersey towns. Great video, Great talk guys !
In the mid to late 70's Patterson had the New York street gang The Black Spades. Funny thing is most of them were Puerto Rican. The Spades was black gang
I'm from JC but I lived In Paterson for 3 yrs they have so many strip clubs. What I loved about it was back in 2007-2012 they wasn't into shooting like that they was still fighting so when I went out, hardly worried about getting shot unlike in JC or Nwk.
2004 is when it got crazy. I remember being in high school. There was a while where paterson didn't have the rep Jersey City and Newark did but that changed. I'd say now paterson and Newark are neck and neck as far as crime. Paterson is prob more impoverished per square mile.
@@yarchism I remember when Passaic and Paterson were def rough but not the Gn violence newark, Irvington, jersey city, camden had. It turned up though around 2003-2004 when the latin kings, bloods, and dominican gangs started growing and then it became a more violent city
@@julesrandolph7910it is and probably more dangerous but even Newark more dangerous then JC at this point but in certain areas in JC no part of the rest of jersey want it believe me shit get extra dark where no one can save you
That was amazing bro. This should be seen by everyone on this earth. I swear that i was moved by this shit. I came from Bergen County NJnand had some of my best times in Paterson.....
My uncle used to drive a tractor trailer from Maine to West Virginia delivering to Dollar General stores. The company told him in his entire delivery footprint, there are only 2 stores he was not allowed to sleep in his truck at if the store was closed. Camden and Paterson NJ. They told him to drive away and come back in the morning
It’s amazing that these guys rather do what they’re doing them better themselves provide live a nice prosperous life the guy to the left said it himself you make what you want it to be no one’s holding these people down other than themselves no self motivation no pride
@Mark Sommers sorry, you are right. You never said honor. But I'm just assuming that at 2:18 and 5:18 of about 10-20 seconds in of this video, that paterson back in the day is most best known for fighting skills, which I agreed . But sound to me like, back then, that people, most of the time, tried to fight and/or talk, instead of using weapon as a first and only option in conflict, which sounds to me as honor. My bad.
Wow O.Gs speaking on present and past. Keeping this 💯 me and boz was on the same count for sometime. Im older then him but he truly was a very respectful person. We shared a lot of knowledge and jus good combo seeing him makes me feel great. Gettem bobcat!❤💪💯
Oh wow I grew up back in the day in the 80s went to Eastside highschool they made a movie lean on me I missed those days Paterson has gotten really bad it used to be nice all my family still lives out there I live in Massachusetts and been here since 1993 I used to go to Costello pool I worked there when I was 14 yr old I remember they had big as projects they knocked it down on grand street I think it was the Alabama projects it was so safe back in the day I lived on van Houten street I know all the streets out there our principal was Joe Clark so sad he past away I think 2020 it's 2021 now i came across this I also seened so much trash in downtown Paterson Broadway is really bad
Born and raised here too, in fact, had you made a right at the corner of the bridge, I lived in one of the four houses on the right ( Straight Street). As a young boy, under 10 mind you, I walked to the bridge and fished off of the bridge.... walked up across that bridge to the Lithuanian bakery and got some black bread to eat, and never had a problem.... you couldn't get me to go there now without being fully armed to the teeth.

If you’re down in Florida you should come to Pensacola. I did delivery work for almost a year and know all the spots you could drive through in the city. You already did a hood drive through for Mobile, AL which is only about an hour from here so you slide through for a vid
I was born in Barnette Memorial, and lived on North 4th, Broadway up the street from CCP...went to MLK Jr., and school 6, oh yeah lived on Park Ave. Learned how to fight in Paterson..til this day my hands is still nasty.
North Bridge street and Haledon ave in the beginning by the bridge. Gene's liquors up the street from the bridge was a big dope spot a few years ago. 4th ward is really bad a lot of shootings around there.
In the 90s, Paterson was quite bad. I was a teacher there and there were kids born addicted to crack, AIDS was rampant, one girl played cocaine dealer with Kool-Aid. I left teaching for years after that.
