Continuing the tour of the 1st Jamaica Clean-Up Protest on Saturday, June 29th, not only reveals a very dark side, South Jamaica, but how totally ineffective our elected leaders have been in dealing with the horrendous quality of life garbage problem.
As we begin to make our way toward South Jamaica and then eventually to the downtown area, we encounter some sights that look as if we are in some third world shit hole, not one of the richest cities in the world and as Mikey Bloomberg likes to state, “New York City, the greatest city in the world.” Hey Mike, come out to Jamaica, specifically South Jamaica and see what is going on.

The First Ever Jamaica Cleanup Protest, part 2
Well as we walk along 108th Ave, we encounter yet again, another abandoned vehicle. ( I have already lost count at this point).
Yet again, another car or should I say cars, all along 108th Avenue, leading to Merrick Blvd. What the fuck, this is a residential area, not some storage unit for wayward cars.
Now some garbage, and in prime Jamaica form, garbage just dumped all over the street. Really why bother using your own garbage cans, just dump it on the street.
More cars.
After crossing over Merrick Blvd, we come to the combo of garbage(near the light pole) and a cargo trailer with no cab. Should someone check this out, there could be a bunch of dead illegals in there. Wow you think after 911, things like this would be checked out carefully.
Next stop, the notorious James Fobb abandoned home and crackheads & prostitutes summer Jamaica house. Two women from this neighborhood joined our march and began telling us about all the kinds of stuff going on in this abandoned home. I see a health violation and a sanitation one as well, not counting the backdoor that is wide open as you will see in the next photo.
The back entrance and as you can see, the door wide open to welcome crackheads, prostitutes, rapists and any other kind of riffraff.
And what was once a garage is now a big dumping ground. This was the site of the infamous hundreds of tires scene back in March.
In front of the Middle Eastern deli at Guy Brewer and 108th. Anyone in the mood for two eggs with cheese on a bagel?
Another corner at Guy Brewer and 108th.
And yet another corner at Guy Brewer and 108th. The Jamaica version of the Bermuda Triangle.
More garbage, well, like lots more garbage.
Same block, different garbage.
Another deli.
In front of a Preschool. The future of America.
Here is what you get when you mix very low class ghetto black people, with low class Hispanics and then spread it all over with a huge heaping tablespoon of extremely low class Middle Eastern/Pakistani. “Vibrant and Diverse” enough for you? Ask yourself this, WOULD YOU LIVE HERE? Now before you scream why don’t you include white people. I can’t, none live in this area, otherwise I would include Honey Boo Boo’s family.
More shit.
I make a little detour on South Road, which I never even heard of. This is a major Shanty Town hell hole, in back of York College.
More of South Road.
Inside all of those high weeds.
Now next to all that shit, is a somewhat fixed up house that is home to three Pakistani families. I guess from where they came from they must feel like The Jeffersons, “Were Movin’ On Up”. Christ, what the fuck has happened to this community?
The prerequisite outside mattresses, or as South Jamaica likes to say, “Ghetto Camping”.
And what would South Jamaica be without the long standing burnt out house, which will sit as longer than former senator Shirley Huntley’s prison sentence.
Or the abandoned home, complete with tires and outside mattress. A bargain, you probably would not even have to haggle with Mohammed the realtor.
Of course another car.
And another one, nice black crown vic.
And let’s not forget the empty lot, with an opening on both sides to cross over to 165th. Damn, these are some major major fucking disgusting human beings, well barely human.
And after going through the opening of the above lot, I come out the other end to see another empty lot with major amounts of shit, tree stumps, tree branches and major amounts of garbage. But the really interesting part was what was directly across from it………………read on.
This I found extremely interesting. This house which the above car is next to, along with a car in the front yard (not pictured) and tons of cars in the back yard (the red one is one of them) and lined up all around the street (most with no plates) is a duplex, but yet there is a small sign several feet away with an arrow pointing in the direction of this house, “Clyde’s Auto Repair”. Now I am not an expect on the laws, but can a house with people living in it also be an auto repair shop at the same time. This seems like something you would see in the sticks of Alabama. I do think we have at least one violation going on as well as a health violation.
This is just one of many cars with no license plate at this property.
Oh my GOD (and that is pretty bad considering that I am an atheist), I felt like I took a double dose of acid. Damn, this was one hell of a protest march and very revealing, kind of like the “Jamaica Revealed” event a few months ago. The South Jamaica area was, well I am at a loss of words, well not really. You want to talk about racism and black on black crime. Here we have an area, all people of color and not all of them “low class ghetto” (there are some long time residents from back in the day, when this was a relatively nice area, who have nowhere else to go) who have to suffer due to incompetence by our elected officials, all who are people of color and more specifically black (and that includes Helen Marshall). They have pretty much ignored this area and looks like they have done absolutely NOTHING for decades here. REMEMBER: Cancer spreads all over if it is not caught or treated in time.
Now the actual March went down Guy Brewer to Jamaica Avenue and ended at an abandoned home on 168 Pl/90th Ave, but I had to see some of these other sites in South Jamaica.
The Jamaica clean-up protest march ended here, a block away from the Police Station and the future site of the $50 million retail project.
Shit I cannot wait to get back to my own neighborhood, a few blocks from that abandoned home above…………………………Oh shit, spoke to soon. Here is a major health and DOS violation that I reported over a week ago. I guess you folks did not get a chance to go to Shah Nowrose’s place. No big surprise here with that name.
Unlike this crew.
And of course next door, the vacant lot that I have been complaining about and reporting and it still looks like shit.
Okay, excuse me for a minute while I go to the bathroom and puke my guts out and take a long shower.
Any wonder why we had a Clean-Up Jamaica Protest. Too bad we did not have more people or a presence of at least one of our political leaders.
Of course none of these loving sights could be possible without all of the low class ghetto element in our community and our wonderful leadership of Queens Borough Helen Marshall, Councilman Leroy Comrie, Assemblymember Vivian Cook, Senator Malcolm Smith, Congressman Gregory Meeks, Assemblymember William Scarborough, Councilman Ruben Wills, Senator James Sanders, former Senator corrupt douche bag Shirley Huntley and all the business/community leaders who like to spout out that Jamaica is “Vibrant and Diverse”.
So, were these photos vibrant and diverse enough for you? And for you downtown head honcho folks, if you think that all this kind of shit, even in South Jamaica does not have any bearing on the downtown area, you have another thing coming, because this cancer is spreading and everyone is being affected by this. And along with all this shit is the crime that is attached with it. So you all better get off your asses and come up with some kind of action plan and solution.
Unless you like Jamaica having the reputation of not just Ghetto, but SUPERSIZED GHETTO!
AGAIN, GOOD JOB ELECTED OFFICIALS. THIS IS SOMETHING TO BE EXTREMELY PROUD OF IT.
A big thanks to those who came out, my friend and comrade, Pamela Hazel for organizing the protest, Agnes Chung from NY1, Michael Gannon from Queens Chronicle, Queens Borough President Everly Brown, Kew Gardens City Council Candidate Jon Torodash and Sondra Peeden, District 27 City Council Candidate.

So who is the precinct commander for this area? And who does he report to.
Who is the meter maid supervisor ?
Who is the local department of sanitation supervisor?
They own fixing this. It's what they get paid to do and then get very generous retirements.
A vehicle parked on a public street for more than 6 hours w/o valid license plate(s) is considered abandoned and is subject to tow..................but since the politicians cut 5000 cops,there's no one to do these menial tasks.Remember this phrase from 20 years ago "quality of life"..........it's gone!

I heard something positive that the Jamaica Develomemt Corp and your electeds are doing:
They are bringing in a new BBQ Rib joint to Sutphin.
As long as patrons don't meander through the neighborhood
whko will notice the mess out there?
Keep up the fight bro!!
How about an open invitation to Virginia Joe Crowley to survey his domain.
Tell him to bring the kids. They should see what daddy does for a living.
Hey Joe, how about adding the do-nothing Queens Economic Development Corp to your list?

Especially that jackass Seth Bornstein who shilled for the USTA to get more of FMCP. Maybe he'd dribble his mealy-mouthed rants for a good cause for once.
An atheist on the march. God bless you Joe. (Ceremonially deistically speaking, of course.)
"You are DEAD WRONG and you are the reason things go to shit. At the most basic level, the purpose of government is to protect the people from from within and without. To quote Thomas Jefferson, “The purpose of government is to enable the people of a nation to live in safety and happiness. Government exists for the interests of the governed, not for the governors.” -Joe Moretti, "The First Ever Jamaica Clean-up Protest, Part 1.

Exactly, Joe. Two more days today until the celebration of the Declaration of Independence. Nota bene the caps:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO ALTER OR TO ABOLISH IT, AND TO INSTITUTE NEW GOVERNMENT, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." - Thomas Jefferson
Prior to the First Ever Jamaica Clean-up Protest of Saturday, June 29, 2013 (a watershed moment in Queens political history?), why is it that the "governed" that live in Jamaica "consent" to be so "governed"? A picture is worth a thousand words.
"The source of the government’s authority is 'the consent of the governed.' This means that the government is not the ruler, but the servant or agent of the citizens; it means that the government as such has no rights except the rights delegated to it by the citizens for a specific purpose." - John Galt, Atlas Shrugged
New development in the downtown area ("Jamaica Revealed") while these unsanitary conditions exist? Lipstick on the pig if you ask me.
Why do the Eloi sleep?
My peeps sleep because I run da Ju-Ju House.
("Ha-ha! Das ri'! His chillens done be go to skool in der Old Dominion away a yonders.)
The Eloi don't sleep, George. They're too worried about the Morlocks coming to enslave them.
Ahhh. Jamaica. Island of exotic beauty. Oops. Wrong Jamaica.
tragic! some of those houses were once beautiful homes.
the ghetto-ization of Jamaica, Queens is for the betterment of drug dealers, pimps and paid off cops.
Now I'm not disagreeing that this is a HORRIBLE situation, but at least some of that garbage IS neatly bagged and waiting for pick-up, obviously long overdue in the case of the litterbaskets---although so many businesses and tenants slip their garbage into/next to them it builds up overnight. Same thing happens all along Grand Ave. in Maspeth, especially on the weekends.
Yes, some of the garbage is neatly bag as one person stated, BUT:
1. Garbage is long overdue: Possible but highly unlikey.
2. Those bags are coming from somewhere else (some of those bags have debris from construction work and are being illegally dumped). Likely to Very likely.
3. Some of the businesses are placing their garbage out on the street days before their pick-up. Very likely.
So whether the garbage is neatly bagged, there is an issue one way or another.
We know Jamaica looks like crap...but, YAWN!
Did I count 33 photos?
I got dizzy and might have lost my count.
Wouldn't a 1/2 dozen have sufficed to make the point?
Is this becoming a Joe Moretti garbage blog?
A problem like this to solve beats people fighting about whether or not graffiti is art and calling each other names.
