As we al know draconian behavior like that was one of the key causes of the American Revolution. We need to stop this before it continues as a common practice.

The officer involved is culpable if he wontonly violated NJ laws. Of course Govenor Crispy Kreme hasn’t decide what side he is on. NJ vote that slob out.

As the search was without a warrant, “Fruit of the poisoned tree”

Anything found, is to be seen as not being there.

False arrest, should be worth good money for the victim.

Yet another reason to never live in the East. Why anyone would want to continue to live in NJ, NY, etc. is beyond me. Their laws are stupid, their taxes are high just like their unemployment. Liberals can have it. Hopefully, he will get real justice under the law. As for the Gestapo, I hope they receive some strong reprimands, fines, etc.

The problem is ALL governments are IGNORING both state and federal constitutions. These type of acts are the product of TYRANNY NOT a democratic REPUBLIC.

The problem is the landlord opened the door, instead of telling the cops to go to hell, it was a civil matter. This guy is going to spend a lot of money and take years to get back on his feet, I sent what I could, hope others do this same, this could happen to anyone. Go to youtube and know your rights, NEVER let anyone in the door, PERIOD.

If a police officer enters a dwelling uninvited without a warrant or probable cause i.e. someone screaming, shots fired etc. is now guilty of B&E and by the Castle Law is now a target.

So a man having legally owned weapons is arrested in his own home, without brandishing those weapons, was not read his Miranda rights. Even though his home was invaded, apparently not legally, he spent 30 days in jail having never committed a crime and needs money to pay for a lawyer? Did I get that right?

I always wondered why New Jersey was treated like New York’s ugly read headed step sister. Turns out she is a stupid ignorant bitch too.
Se Hablas Police state? Mucho Culo esta New Jersey politico’s e policias. Hay muchos pendejos fueras dentro de los políticos y la policía de Nueva Jersey. Ambos son estúpidos y carecen de sentido común. Please forgive the spelling. I am not Mexican.

How many proper American politician’s will we see come to the rescue?

If the people put up with this because they think they are powerless it will only continue and get worse. A badge does not give one power over common sense not does it replace morality.

In South Carolina this man would have been well within his rights to shoot all three interlopers into his apartment.

Perceived threat and Castle doctrine. Those dark suited men were carrying guns. With my eyesight they would have been cloaked figures committing crimes.
Isn’t a home invasion no matter WHO does it a crime? It would have been better off for New Jersey if he had killed all three.
I guess it would be appropriate to post a No Trespassing sign on everyone’s front door with a warning “All unauthorized violators will be shot.”

Send a message New Jersey one that will not be too difficult to understand.

Really is this necessary? Have we as American’s lost these many rights? Sure as sh@t seems so.

This happens to be where NJ Assemblyman Charles Mainor lives and used to work on the police force. He is the Chairman for NJ Health & Public Safety Committee who recently passed 24 anti-gun bills. At a recent public hearing to introduce the bills to the assembly, ‘Chairman’ Mainor was going to have the committee vote first and then hear public comments. He and his cronies have an agenda and have NO interest in what the public thinks. Knowing his background at the Jersey City police department and his strong anti-gun agenda, it makes this article smell worse than would seem on the surface. I’m not into conspiracy theories, but this wreaks!!

I seriously doubt anybody would have felt bad if the swine would have been carried out on a slab except other crooks in blue. I was enjoying watching the terror grip the goons in LA. Their kind needs to be exposed so the public knows who they are and then refused service by the community. Let it be known that they are not welcome. Treat them with contempt and disgust like they do to us. Treat the honest and respectable officers right and build good relations and kick the others to the gutter.

More proof that many of our police are nothing more than criminals themselves and belong in Prison! Why aren’t they? One of these criminal New Jersey cops threaten to murder this man for no reason,How can that be legal? New jersey like many many of our cities and states have become like many third world countries where it’s citizens have no rights.These two cops need to go to prison and all the supervisors need to be fired!

He should sue for $ 5,000,000.00 and demand a televised apology from the city fathers and the police department.A man’s home is his castle and he is well within his rights to protect his privacy and personal property.There should be a formal review of that police precinct and their obvious lack of training and discipline IF THE FACTS PRESENTED HERE ARE SUBSTANTIATED.That landlord should have requested a search warrant on behalf of the resident before he unlocked the door.

This is going to be a fight on both sides. We can’t keep quite and give in to the gun grabbers. Keep up the emails to representatives. Remind then that, unlike Obama, they have to run again. NRA keeps tabs on who really is pro-gun in each state. They look for the ones who voted against guns, even if it were 20 years ago or more. They don’t tell you how to vote, only how to vote if you want to keep your guns and rights. Best $35 you will spend a year. Also other benefits for belonging. Also, goggle Dillon Blue Press and get a free magazine from them. On their order form, they have a place to check to join the NRA and they pay $10 towards it, even if you don’t buy anything from them. Can’t beat that with a stick.

When my wife and I hired Mr. Nappen in 1998 for a firearms case, he basically told us that the NRA had written off N.J. as a lost cause. We have since moved to Minnesota after selling our home and being denied pistol purchase permits by the state police. Feel sorry for any law abiding gun owner living in Jersey.

I am a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment and own many guns, and am a 25 year veteran Police Sergeant as well. What I am not is gullible. This version is written by a defense attorney with no input from anyone else, and nothing to back up any of it. Maybe he ought to save the embellishments for the courtroom. If it’s anything like he says, it’ll get booted right out of court.

I was accused by a niece that I was ignorant for my writing about Obama and his doings on! I told her I was just stating the truth but not heard back from her!This is just a small part of which we are going to see if we do not do something now! to Stop BHO in his tracks!Look up narcissist and find out what it says and compare to Obama!, Also look up history about how Hitler took over Germany- then what out fraud president is doing!

New Jersey should have a strong vist from the NRA and the 2ASF. Why they are putting so little effort into NJ is beyond me. This man should get a herd of Lawyers and sue them all beginning with the city.

If this incident happened as reported, this man’s 4th amendment rights were violated, along with a few others as well. As a 30 year veteran police Sergeant I find the incident appalling to say the least. They had no right to orderthe landlord to open the partment, they had no right to search his apartment. He should obtain counsel immediately, who should then request an evidence surpression hearing based on the illegal search and seizure of evidence, thus effectively nullifying his arrest. he should thyen file suit for Breaking and entering and false arrest by the police involved. If, as I say the article is an accurate depictioon of what happened.

One of the most egregious thing I have ever herd and that this happened in this Country.I do beleave it is only the start of thing to come if we let it, This is exactly what our forefather had in mind of stopping when they wrote our, ''meaning ALL people of the United States'' constitution to protect us from what these two so called officers of the Law did to this person and what happened to innocent untel proven guilty. I have to say this kind of thing really worrys me and it should worry every one that reads this artical, this happens in other Countrys not our's, is this not why our grandfathers fought in world war two. This is called TYRANNY or the start of it any way.

This example should be on every news program in the country. The police officers, the landlord, and the city should be sued for damages, and the officers dismissed. If the story is indeed factual, there is no excuse.

That performance by Rand Paul, last night, was all about the rules of society. In our case, The Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
When any man or government entity believes itself to be all-powerful, that the rules of society don’t matter, then the rules don’t matter for anyone.
These police and court officers should be identified from the public records, their homes located on a public forum, and they and their families should be made targets of public ridicule and any other retribution that
the wronged party believes appropriate.
When government stops fearing its citizens, we have become slaves to it.
Jersey City, NY City, Des Moines, doesn’t matter.
The time is upon us, the Oathkeepers, to show government who their masters are.
We’re coming and your scary black suit won’t protect you.

My younger brother had a incident where they came into are home and arrested him and took him to a hospital.No charges we’re filed.The LAPD asked why my bedroom door was locked and I told them I had firearms in a locked safe in my room and only I go in that room.They said okay and left.The way Mr. Pantaleon was treated was wrong and his rights we’re violated.

This is a great example about keeping your mouth shut about your fireams.The only two people that know the particulars about my weapons are my sons,..NO ONE ELSE ! This guy here must have some pantie waste liberal friend (he thought) that burned him. This story is really vague and doesn’t spell out the particulars of this case.I will notify the NRA about this and encourage all of you to do the same,for possible legal representation. This man deserves his weapons back now,an apology,and possible compensation. Not jail time.HBH

this is equivalent to Rosa Parks. he should take NJPD to the mat. hopefully if his lawyer is a “gun lawyer”, then maybe they can get this fixed
