While I have no interest in keeping up with the volume of vile content over at H411, someone sent me a post surpassing all previously-noted lows such as human-animal comparisons and ethnic mockery. The subject: murder-for-hire.
And not in the abstract sense. We're talking about Mayor Zimmer's father-in-law , Henry Grossbard, who was killed at age 79 in a hit-an-run accident on April 23, 2005 here in Hoboken.
The fact that this May 17th post has gone unmoderated and unrepudiated by H411's proprietor, famous for iron-fisted control over his site's content, must be viewed as an endorsement of it's message.
But what is it's message?
I have no clue. Do you?
Simply put, this poster has traded his/her humanity for the cheapest laugh possible and a pat on the head from 411's proprietor, who has himself lost all control of his own hateful impulses. And the patronage of this hate-site by a sitting City Councilwoman makes this matter relevant.
Yes, patronage.
In her own words on her newly-released video,"Beth Mason on Pay-To-Play" , Mason refers viewers to "Hoboken Patch, The Hoboken Reporter and Hoboken411" to see copies of her 2009 mayoral campaign checks made out to individuals (not to "cash") in response to her own alleged ELEC violations. As Ms. Mason extends a hand to H411, sends traffic his way which increases his ad revenue, lends it the credibility of her name, H411 returns the favor by fomenting and tolerating the most hateful expressions toward Mason's political foe, Dawn Zimmer. And her family. Which now extend to murder-for-hire of a Zimmer family-member.
Good grief. Where's the bottom, Klaussen?
I would like to end this post remembering the life and accomplishments of the late Henry Grossbard noted in his 2005 obituary.
Henry Grossbard, founder of RCDC Corp. and developer of the radiant-cut diamond, was struck by a car and killed April 23, in Hoboken, NJ. He was 79.
Grossbard was born in Vienna, Austria, and came to the United States during World War II. He apprenticed with a diamantaire in New York City and became a master diamond cutter, according to his son, Stanley Grossbard. He developed the radiant cut in 1976, and it has become a well-known rectangular diamond shape. Grossbard's innovation was to take a traditional emerald-cut shape, which couldn't produce brilliance to the same degree as a round cut, and cut it so that it had the sparkle of a brilliant-cut diamond.
Prior to Grossbard's development of the radiant cut, all diamonds with straight edges, like the emerald cut, were faceted with long rectangular facets. This cutting style, called the step cut, results in a stone with a less brilliant appearance. Diamonds with rounded edges, like round stones, pear shapes, ovals and marquises, are faceted with triangular facets. This cutting style is known as the brilliant cut. By combining the two cutting styles into a hybrid "brilliantized step cut," Grossbard was able to release more brilliance in a straight edged diamond.
Grossbard received worldwide patents for the radiant cut design in 1977, among the first patents ever granted for a diamond cut. Though the patent has now expired, RCDC Corp. continues to sell its brand, the Original Radiant Cut, to jewelry stores throughout the U.S.
Grossbard is survived by his wife, Gertrude; son, Stanley; daughter, Rebecca; and grandchildren, Jacob and Alexander. His funeral will be held April 27, at 1:30 p.m. at Wein & Wein Funeral Home, Hackensack, NJ. The family asks that donations in his memory be made to the United Synagogue of Hoboken, 115 Park Ave, Hoboken, NJ 07030.
By the way, I'm a fan of bling myself.

Wow. A new low indeed.
ReplyDeleteThat POS 411 must be so proud of this shining moment on his website. I feel like Bitch slapping him every time I see his ugly face and that fn stupid dog.
ReplyDeleteHeinous behavior.
ReplyDeletePerry Mason: His dog is actually lovely. It's the owner that's the problem.
Oh, Perry Mason... do not blame an innocent doggy for the crimes of it's owner. Our 4-legged friends are pure and good.
ReplyDeleteBut I share your scorn for the doggy's owner.
