Was outside when heard 4 shots...walked down and some residents around there were very accusing cause we were there to support the police and our neighorhood. Police did a great job. We need to get the gangs out of here.
ReplyDeleteUnknown - how were the residents around there "very accusing"? I'm just curious because I'm trying to get a sense of what we're up against in terms of cleaning up the neighborhood. Was it because you told the police what you saw and heard? Did they threaten you?
ReplyDeleteLived in Uptown for twelve years and heard a gunshot one time. Pretty good record. Way better than Bridgeport.
ReplyDeleteup to 15 people shot now
ReplyDeleteDidn't the $100 gun turn suppose to help prevent this? It's getting to the point I'm frightened to walk my dog on Sheridan near Wilson. That seem to be the epicenter of social dysfunction in Uptown.
ReplyDeleteAs relayed to me via some CPD-types, some/most of the guns turned in are non-functional.
ReplyDeleteAlso relayed - some folks turning in the guns turn right around and buy ammo with the gift cards.
Not sure how that may/may not have an affect on the recent spate of violent dumbassedness, but a thought worth noting (maybe).
