Why doesn’t Hoboken have those Life rings like EVERY OTHER CITY ON WATER?
That was my son Talib DeAndre Grant
He was 24 years old
He was heavily medicated
He was just released from the hospital from the psych ward.
Coroner said he should not have been released if he was suicidal
Why does Ferrante HATE life saving rings on the waterfront?
Not like he wants to jump in to save a life… Just ask that kid who died in 2005
