I love bootstrapping a surveillance hegemon with my fellow neighbors in my overwhelming white, upper-middle class neighborhood! This is very normal and very good.

Crimes are being solved by your own admission, so clearly it's working in spite of the enormity of your butthurt.

No, Allen, a single crime has been solved. You guys couldn't even bust teenagers with paintball guns.

This is so well done. Neighbors are idiots here and they create trouble. This vigilante group definitely dies more harm than good.

I live 4 houses away from the most hateful and destructive trouble maker in Westgate.

I'd love to share 'the other side of Westgate' if anyone wanted.

Thank you for writing this. I appreciate your efforts.

I'd like to chat with you. Not to argue, but to gather some insights. We are having an uptick in crime and folks are nervous and frustrated. I think you make some great points about people getting overzealous in their "crime fighting" attempts. While I agree you can't expect to live in or near a city without experiencing some crime. I'd like to hear your thoughts about approaches that "respect" the city. Given that you had ran for office and people would have been expecting your leadership in this area as well, I figure you probably have some good ideas.
