SEA ISLE CITY— Police are investigating a reported stabbing here on the 200 block of 42nd Street that occurred at 1:20 a.m. on Wednesday, June 17.

No cops patrolling the "bar areas"??? Are you high? Take a look around a 5 block radius of JFK and Landis some saturday night between midnight and 2am. Besides check the last names...a bulgarian stabbed a mexican and they're described as "co-workers"...sounds like a squabble among seasonal restaurant help gone too far to me.

We have plenty of police to chase people going 5 miles over the speed limit up Central Avenue on Saturday morning with sirens wailing and going 50 mph. One day a child will be killed and by these speeding police. We have enough police to patrol the beach armed on ATV's during the summer, which is absolutly redicules. However, there are never many police patrolling the bar areas. Why that may be bad for business. Our mayor has a soft spot for Barowners, I wonder why. What's good for business in the town is not necessarily good for the residents. Our mayor has a major conflict of interest and the residents should wake up to whose interest he serves and stop being lured in with his free cocktail parties before elections.

IAMLOCAL: why so upset about living in Wildwood? Just because you live where there is crime and I don't, doesn't mean people need to talk bad about a town. Wildwood will always be bashed on because it is a sh--hole
