I just read where someone from Villas got pinched dealing H. Nice. They're probably good people too.

Not everyone in the Ghetto-by-Bay is a criminal, just about a third.
You're probably right, the kid is a good kid. Have him move in with you when he gets out of the joint.
Lets just build a wall around the town, call it "Jail", no need to police it any more and call it a day already.

For your information, this kid lives in another state and is normally a good kid. He made a misake that night, grnated it was a big mistake, but a mistake none the less. You people should do a little research before posting comments. As for renaming the Villas, I bet you don't live in the VIllas. Not everyone here is a criminal.

Good Kid????

Do all of these "good kids" get drunk, speed, drive around covered in blood, acting violent with pot in car, spitting at cops & breaking the windows at 4am mid-week?

The article said he's 17, that makes him a Villas Freshmen or Sophomore in Lower Cape Regional. Staying up that late would mean less than 3 hrs of sleep before he had to meet his Parole Officer (if they work Yom Kipper).

At first glance, and admittedly even second glance, Villas does have many problems. But instead of pointing your finger and sending us all to be damned to Hell, perhaps the adults of our community and our Township should ban together for a solution. Instead of pre-judging all teenagers and labeling them 'harbor rats' go to our schools and see first hand all the GOOD kids and the all the GOOD things they do.

Great job LTPD!! However, as a resident of Villas and mother of two teenagers, I find it extremely offensive that people who read this article seem to think all teenagers who reside in Villas are of this young man's character (or lack thereof). There are many parents and relatives in this town who do not allow our kids to roam the streets and who keep careful watch over their friends and their activities. There are a lot of good VILLAS kids who do not get in trouble, unfortunately that doesn't make for a very interesting front page news story. To catagorize all Villas teenagers as "harbor rats" is very narrow minded.

yeah 10/15 @ 7:01- seems like a stand-up citizen!

A Very nice kid???? You sound as high as this future convict.

Drunk, Pot, Violent, Covered in blood, Cursing and spitting at cops.....
Sounds like an Eagles fan.

No costumes needed this Halloween in the Villas because you guys are already f***. *** Act human for once!

At the risk of getting attacked here, I kknow this young man, and he happenes to be a very nice kid. Yes his family may not be perfect but they do love and care about him very much. The power of alcohol has made many a good man a fool.

***-By-The-Sea is alive and well.

This election day we should vote on renaming Villas, I would choose "Jail" . All of these Harbor Rats can get use to saying it's where they live.

Good Job LTPD!!! Keep our community safe!!

Tue, 10/14/2008 - 3:36pm

It's a sad state of affairs, but most likely, the parents are just as guilty as the little brat that they raised. I would be interested in seeing if the parents are ***, have records, if they are ever home, etc. What are they breeding***?

DAVE FESSLER FOR MAYOR !!!!

Mon, 10/13/2008 - 12:26pm

Mon, 10/13/2008 - 8:56am

Not too sure what the comment about Dave Fessler has to do with this article? Clearly, the article pertains to Robert Fessler, who was protecting and serving our community.

LMFAO about how immature and jealous people can be about those who are doing better than they are with their lives. Grow up.

Thank you to Robert Fessler for putting his life on the line that night and countless others. His actions are most certainly overlooked in that respect.

Mon, 10/13/2008 - 7:18am

So who is Dave Fessler I thought the policemans name was Robert?

Mon, 10/13/2008 - 7:15am

Are these kids just this bored or just this angry. I guess there are no caring parents or the article would have said released into the care of his parents. Instead a relative had to get him. Hopefully a caring Uncle or Older Brother.
Are there no YOUNG LIFE groups working the high schools down here. My word it is only October and these kids are going crazy already. Can't we help these Kids.

What *** planet are you living on? What detention facility. The closest one is in Bridgeton because we won't build one here and they only have so many beds. Waht the *** do you think cops have been complaining about on here forever? The system is a JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!

Sun, 10/12/2008 - 7:14pm

You people from the Villas need to start acting like humans! You give ***

Sun, 10/12/2008 - 3:51pm

LMFAO *** Dave Fessler

Sun, 10/12/2008 - 3:23pm

This kid should rot in jail!

Sun, 10/12/2008 - 2:11pm

Released to a relative!!!!!!!!!!!!so he could sober up and get out and party the next night. Do Judges get paid to Judge or just be *** ? Why wasn't this KID put in a detention Facility?
