Man Killed At Anti-Violence Event
| PATERSON, N.J. - A man attending a block party as part of the
National Night Out anti-crime initiative was shot and killed in
Paterson, N.J. Police say 39-year-old Robert Godfrey was shot in the head while arguing with another man Tuesday. It happened in front of a crowd just before midnight at 74 Godwin Ave. Paterson Police say the man wanted in the fatal shooting has surrendered. Marlon Rochester, 30, turned himself in to Paterson police and is held on $1 million bail, charged with murder and weapons offenses. Lt. Ron Humphrey says witnesses saw the two men arguing loudly when Rochester pulled a gun and shot Godfrey once in the head. National Night Out is observed across the U.S. as an annual event meant to heighten drug and crime prevention awareness. The August 3rd event was the 27th annual night out against crime. * * * * * This illustrates the primary reason that I, as a normal, conservative, pro-violence, male, make it a point to avoid Anti-Violence Events such as this. You just never know when one of these anti-violence wing-nuts is going to freak-out and start killing people. The world is dangerous enough without exposing yourself to people who are anti-violence.
