NJ assemblyman joins Spadea on air to discuss his home invasion

Assemblyman Paul Kanitra, who is the former Mayor of Point Pleasant Beach spends time serving his constituents and earning a living for his family.

He was away in Washington, D.C., this week while his wife and mother-in-law were at home in Hazlet. As he explained, he and his wife are staying with his mother-in-law in Hazlet while they renovate their Point Pleasant Beach home.

It's unsettling to watch masked men heading into his home in the early morning hours Wednesday while the family slept. Home security video shows two figures dressed in dark clothes entering through the front door and a few seconds later, running out, down the stairs, and into a car in the driveway and speeding away.

Paul's wife and mother-in-law are shaken and concerned but thankfully unharmed after what could have taken a horrible turn.

For many years we've talked about the rise in crime in New Jersey. Bail reform creates a revolving door for criminals, turning New Jersey into essentially a catch-and-release state. No enforcement of federal detainer orders allowing criminal aliens to roam free. With nearly a million illegals in our state, the sanctuary policies in New Jersey have made our towns less safe.  The overt blame-the-cops-first attitude from the governor and the Attorney General's Office is not helping the situation.

The bottom line is people don't feel safe in their homes and this is the latest too-close-to-home assault on our civilized society.
