Timmy, I understand that you cant post personal information on gangbangers on this site but it would be useful to know it. Where do you suggest we get it? We have to have an effective network of information about these individuals. How can we safely share information?

Anonymous said...

Any gang affiliation on that 10:57 cat?

Anonymous said...

When you say a "slow down" is being given on something. What exactly does that mean?

AvondaleLoganSquareCrimeBlotter said...

Anonymous 11:36, not sure ;).

Anonymous 11:08, yes, I think it would be very useful to know their personal information. As far as safely sharing the information, maybe we could set up some sort of email group? I'm not totally sure if that would work, but maybe it can.

Anonymous said...

An email would be fine, something like twitter would be better. I recall someone saying that in the late 70's just north of fullerton the residents used cb radios to communicate real time crime info to each other, prob in some code. For real time info we can also use those cheap little handheld radios you can buy at walmart. We would have to limit the circle of users to people we trust and use some kind of shorthand or code of course. Any other ideas?

AvondaleLoganSquareCrimeBlotter said...

Anonymous 11:39, a slow down means that officers responding don't have to go with lights and sirens. They don't have to speed, in other words.

Anonymous 11:08/11:56, hmmm ... I don't like Twitter much. I like the idea of emails better. About the radios, that's a GREAT idea! I love it! But, yeah, we definitely would have to limit the circle of people who use it, and know about it. Also, yeah, we would need a code/shorthand.

Blonda said...

Sounds like you guys might be forming your own gang! I would think that CPD would have some record of known gang affiliation along with mug shots that are publicly available on their web sites.
Seems that speculation about an individual could open you up to legal issues of slander and libel.
I like the question about the gang affiliation of that cat.

Anonymous said...

Guess what? Most of the dorks gangbanging are minors so you will not get anything from anyone about them. As for the CPD, they have nothing as well except for the most wanted. As one cop told me they are report writers with weapons. Just try telling a cop that you have some kind of information for them and they will tell you to call 911, a joke. Same thing if you walk into a station. I am all for protecting the innocent but protecting the gangbangers too. Give me a break.

ProdigalOne said...

Hang out with your local church or community group and do some street work - you'll be able to spot the gang members and their affiliations with a practiced eye, and you'll have done some good for your community as well.

Anonymous said...

I agree prodigal. The gangbangers in this community are very obvious what is not obvious is where they live, hang out, and what their names are. That would be useful info that if widely known amongst everyone would aid the police with informing. If OJ Simpson lived on the corner of ridgeway and george and drove a range rover with plates OJ 123 then if there was a hit and run with his car at haussen and milwaukee then it shouldnt be hard to find someone who saw his car or him somewhere around that time. It would really speed things up if these guys were spotted walking here, standing there, driving and picking someone up somewhere by people in the community who know exactly who they are.

2824 ridgeway? thats right by your house

AvondaleLoganSquareCrimeBlotter said...

Hey Blonda. I think we are, too, LOL. I also would think that information on gangbangers would be available publicly on their sites. As for speculation of an individual, yeah, it can lead to legal issues for me. Which is why I don't really do it.

Anonymous 2:48, I can agree that you may not get information on gangbangers since most are minors.

Pro, agreed.

Anonymous 4:35, yeah, it is. What's going on over there? I don't see anything.

Anonymous said...

Just heard something on the radio with that address. Someones son is going nuts or something like that.

Anonymous said...

I think the police tell you to call 911 because they need to know where the cops are. The jobs are centrally dispatched. Theoretically this would mean that police resources are used as effectively as possible.

Timmy, do you only post the serious stuff, or is this all that went out on the radio during the time you are listening?

AvondaleLoganSquareCrimeBlotter said...

Anonymous 5:01 #1, I post everything in the area that the dispatchers dispatch.

Anonymous 5:01 #2, interesting. That house used to be a drug house a few years ago (and I have reason to believe that it still is). I've also seen the son, too. He likes to skateboard on the block all the time. He probably got mad at mom for something.

Where was the fire exactly? I live in the Central park/Fullerton area and the smoke was horrible. It was just a few minutes ago.

Blonda said...

Seems like 14 is keeping you hoping over there Timmy, thanks again. I live in 14 and it is action packed!
I am very much enjoying your sense of humor and genuine concern for this community.

Anonymous said...

Love to see the 14 action. And all of these comments. Keep up the good work.

AvondaleLoganSquareCrimeBlotter said...

Blonda, yeah, 14's got me hopping. I'm typing litterally nonstop. Yes, it's action packed.

Anonymous 5:56, there was a fire in that area?
