I suppose if you want honest responses from people, you should be more open about who you are and why you’re doing this. Are you college kids trying to write a paper? Do you represent some group? Are you really just a few friends? Referring to your friends as colleagues and a brief Google form as a study feels shady AF. So that’s one Newark resident’s opinion for you.

Chelsea, thank you for the concern. However as a group, we don't intend to antognize Midnight, as previously said in this thread to Robert Treat, we soley intend to ask and garner responses on what Residents think of him.

Furthermore, regarding his methods of doing good, we share no animosity towards said methods, and however he decides to carry himself, is for him only to decide.

But considering aggressors or Instigators may see this as an opportunity to make a name for themselves, who's to say people cant get caught in that crossfire?

We come from an angle of curiosity and concern, not resentment and mockery.

Here's my public response Cole

Fuck off and leave the kid alone... He's trying to do good in the community. Sure, it may be a very uncommon & unconventional way of going about it, but his intentions are obviously coming from the right place.

Who are you to question? What are you doing in the community to make a difference?

Public safety issue my ass. If you gave a shit about public safety, there are hundreds of other issues in the city you could've chosen to focus on.The only person "at risk" as a result of his actions (patrolling a specific section of NWK & giving out hand warmers to those less fortunate), is him, which should be described as bravery, or maybe stupidity, but certainly not a public safety issue.

Keep doing you Midnight, & stay safe đź’Ş

The group in question we're referring to is a small group of friends, studying certain opinions and topics here in Newark.

However, seeing as Midnight had caught one of our friend's eyes via an Instagram post, we did some digging out of curiosity to see he posts here too, and decided; What do Newarks residents think of this guy? Hence this form was created.

I personally don’t care who “purchases” any property that’s their agenda and Buisness . What I don’t understand is why everything has to be about race. You didn’t need to mention that she was black. Like what does that have to do with anything ? I’m not posting this to be a dick I’m just trying to understand where you are coming from and your perspective

Hero, or Public Saftey Issue?

In light of recent sightings and postings from the masked Vigilante known as Midnight, or-self proclaimed "Newark Knight", I and a few colleagues were interested to see Newark and Essex County Residents' opinions on the Vigilante, and have decided to do a study on said opinions from residents.

Alll Responses will be kept anonymous, and anything you wish to be public can be posted in this thread.

I mean so far since I'm here everyday I've seen them power wash the front building and clean tiles and they're real hell bent on these benches to the point of obsession. You have peeling paint once you get up on the platform you have giant cracks and raised areas on them. As far as the air conditioning goes the only benefit to me is you wont have a smelly homeless person standing in front of the mobile air conditioners that is horrific

It doesn’t smell in the big waitiing room or the platforms, whats there to enjoy at penn? The air? Are you kidding me, this is sadly the kind of place where you go and get out asap, it’s over crowded as hell. It stinks around the bathroom and the McDonald’s. Sometimes it does stink but it’s because we are so close to the water, a lot of it it’s swamp water. No amount of AC is going to help that. The air issue is so trivial. The day the place needs to get evacuated in case of a serious event there will sadly be deaths due to the outdated exits and entrances. If you go to Penn please plan so you are there as little as possible it’s not safe. Also fuck those metrocrd machines for the path lol hop that shit whenever you can.
