N.J. State Troopers Get Revenge On Public

Jon Corzine wasn’t the only victim of the Don Imus-caused highway wreck last month. The state troopers — a trooper was driving the car 91mph in the Corzine crash, and didn’t arrest Corzine on the spot for not wearing a seatbelt or something — have been under fire from the public as well, apparently.

Now, the troopers fight back.

Some state troopers, feeling they have been publicly ridiculed for the accident that almost killed Gov. Jon S. Corzine, appear to be plotting a ticket blitz against the public this month, followed by a slowdown in June, according to a chilling series of anonymous online postings.

This is what passes for chilling nowadays? Some random anonymous online messageboard posts by “20alphabravo” and “soundsgood” telling people if they speed they will be ticketed.

“Great idea,” wrote a person posting under the name “soundsgood.” “Absolutely hammer everyone (obviously except cops and family) who does 1 m.p.h. over the limit. . . . Let’s really give them something to complain about.”

“I am all for the May 1st blitz. . . . Better start pre-signing my summonses,” wrote another poster going by the handle of “reckrids.”

“Everyone has to take part in this,” wrote “20alphabravo.” “We are taking an absolute beating from the public and media, and the so-called “officers’ are doing nothing about it to protect or support us in any way. . . . May 1st. Spread the word. It’s go time.”

Union president David Jones said it was irresponsible for the media to propagate the trooper’s postings, while State Police Superintendent Col. Joseph “Rick” Fuentes (ol’ Ricky) made sure commanders put the kibosh on any ticketing of people who speed.

Other anonymous posters honored the fallen heroes on 9/11 and claimed to be under duress due to the “Puppet government.”

“There are many more of “us’ than there are of “them,’ ” wrote “letsroll,” adding, “The tickets generate a large revenue for the state, and if the slowdown is done properly, we can make a change!”

A writer claiming the moniker “UncommonSense” advised, “Just hang out in the right lane doing 70 and pick off the first (expletive) that goes by, shouldn’t take long considering our plummeting respect.”

UncommonSense proceeded to say, “Maybe then our Puppet leaders will address some of the real issues and support us for once, instead of selling us down the river . . . again.”

Heh heh. You know, Corzine does kind of look like a muppet.
