Andrew Black, the victim of the hit-and-run incident, was at the protest. “I’m not out here seeking a vendetta or any of that,” says Black. “All I am seeking is justice. And how we get justice is right here.”
Hector Oseguera, one of the prominent people at the rally, was upset over the case.
“The fact that a crime was committed and being ignored is a big issue,” said Oseguera, “The people should continue to speak up to their officials about this issue.”
Also in attendance was Jimmy Lee, president of the JC Safe Streets, who says he is worried about safety.
“I do believe that there should be more safety on the streets,” said Lee, “A person could have possibly lost their life.”
At the time of this article, the Jersey City Councilwoman Amy DeGise says she would not resign from office.

Amy, any plans on resigning? Heck no, why should I. I done nothing wrong. Remember Stew, he ran the red light not me. Had he not Mr. Black would not have been on the hood of me car. Actually, he is lucky he didn’t get hit again. That’s all I have to say.
