We heard a crash and looked just in time to see one car speed away and then another back up into Taqueria, hit someone, and then speed away across oncoming traffic

Saw it all happen. Called 911 at the beginning of the fight. Couldn’t get through for 20 minutes. Cops didn’t show up until 25 minutes after I called. Great job Jersey City!

Live across the street & turned on the police scanner after the action. Dispatch didn't come through until 11:07 (a couple minutes after an ambulance & ~7 minutes after this post ) & then it was described as a fight.
Cops show 11:10 & it's not until 11:40 that the situation is clarified to list two pedestrians struck as well as structural damage to Taqueria & it's reclassified as an aggravated assault, detective dispatched.

Just walked past this situation. I think we need to embrace NYC style camera enforcement.
Saw a Toyota highlander being prepped for towing .

There was a fight between staff and patrons. Apparently the staff cut off a group of patrons and they didn’t take it well. Fight spilled out into the street where an SUV was idling on Grove. Someone jumped in the SUV and attempted to run over the group fighting. They hit a couple people and then started doing donuts in the Grove/Grand intersection. Sped up and down grand a few times and while trying to drive away reversed straight into the building. A bunch of cars on grand seem to have been sideswiped but I have not heard an update on whether they caught the guy. Insane.

I mean Taqueria isn't quite what it used to be (it's more inconsistent these days)... but that's an over the top reaction.

Eh not necessarily. These preliminary charges they do prior to investigation will get changed/modified as more facts are uncovered.

Can also throw in thousands of dollars of repairs to a building and to cars. And I don’t know if there’s a crime committed by causing all that damage and then driving away? Like causing several thousand $s in damage and driving away?

We should talk about the not being able to get through to 911 for 20 minutes part too. Why does it take longer than most crimes/incidents would last just to get through.

First the bad drivers came for the bikers, and I did not care as I don't bike.
Then they came for the pedestrians, and I did not care as I'm too aware to get hit.
But now, they come for the Taqueria.... if this doesn't motivate change this town is NOTHING

It’s been on this sub, it’s in the header, it’s been covered by local national media outlets, and the video is widely available dude.
Council person Amy DeGise did commit a hit and run. It was blatant and on camera. And eventually pleaded guilty. And refuses to step down.
