JERSEY CITY — Mayor Steve Fulop and Gov. Phil Murphy are leading the calls for school board member Joan Terrell-Paige to resign after she referred to certain Jewish people as "brutes" in a Facebook post following a massacre that claimed the lives and three people at a kosher market and a police officer.
Douglas Rodriguez, Leah Minda Ferencz and Moshe Hersh Deutch were killed in the shooting at the JC Kosher Supermarket on Dec. 10. Jersey City police officer Joseph Seals was shot dead at a cemetery and was laid to rest on Tuesday.
The shooting happened in the city's Greenville section, which has a mostly black and minority population and has struggled with crime and poverty. In recent years it has seen an influx of both immigrants as well as Orthodox Jewish families moving from New York.
The post by Terrell-Paige, who is black, brought up the practice of "blockbusting," in which residents are aggressively and unscrupulously encouraged by salesmen to sell their homes.
