Good morning, everyone, it's 9:45am. It's real cloudy this morning, with temps in the 70s. It's supposed to storm today. Strong ones possible, too. I just hope they aren't all that bad. Anyway, it was a restless night in the neighborhood. I didn't go to bed until 3 due to gang-related problems on my block. And from what I heard on the scanner, it was busy in the area. Well, I have nothing else to say, so here's crime for today.

Large gang hangout house at 2821 on Avers. They party inside all the time. It's funny, they just lock the door on the inside to keep the cops out.
Timmy, are people still bullying you about your publication here? If so, please let us know and we will be more than happy to show up at some beat meetings to stand up for you!!
If they wanna scream and yell at you, they can get the same treatment from other community members who will not let you deal with it alone! It really takes a truly insecure, immature bunch of people to treat you the way they have been. You're doing great, Timmy!
Omg if people keep bring the same issue up , it's never going to stop ! Change the subject please!!!! Time for neighborhood and community talk . Talking about the same issue will lead to instigating and more non-sense from commentors. Everybody who comments are entitled to their opinion and noone should be getting bullied not Timmy or commentors. Whatever happened to people rights of freedom to speak? It doesn't look this way on this blog.it looks like people just want to pick at eachother and only a onesided mind on here! Everyone needs to relax and listen to one another, not eat eachother up for their opinions ! The community is not going to get better if people are nitpicking at stuff that's not pertaining to the community.
Undergrounded, I could've sworn I did. I recall replying to you saying I wasn't sure if I could take the offer. If I didn't, I apologize. But nevertheless, send a line to me about the information you want to provide me about the job. My email address is weatherboy58@hotmail.com.
I'll have my reply to the rest of your post and everyone else's in a second...
Anonymous 3:50, thank you for your defense, and compliment. I appreicate it. I'm currently not getting bullied at this time. You're right, it does take someone truly immature to treat me the way they have been, even though I've been trying for the last two and a half years of helping the community. I just hope they realize sooner or later that I am only doing this for the good of the community. However, as Undergrounded has said, I think that coming to the CAPS meetings in a group just to defend me will make it hostile and then we'll all probably end up getting banned from coming. I appreicate your effort, but it might hurt the community more than help.
Anonymous 5:42, I have to agree with you here. We should all stop bringing up this subject and please move on. It was nearly two weeks ago when this happened, and I'm over it for the most part. As I have said, I just won't be returning to that particular CAPS meeting unless I get a number of requests from people. And, you are right that we need to have some neighborhood and community talk here. Don't know if the rest of you see what's happening around the area just east of Koz Park, but the way things are getting, we're in a world of trouble here.
Undergrounded, thank you for your thoughtful opinion on this post. I agree with you wholeheartedly, that people coming to defend me at meetings will do nothing but make this issue get bigger, and then the CAPS people will have all the more reason to ban me from their meetings (certainly not sure if they're trying to get me to not attend their meetings, but who knows). I am quite fond of going to the different meetings in the community, and if I were not allowed to come anymore, I would honestly be a bit upset because I wouldn't be able to communicate with supporters and fellow community members. Thank you for writing to Commander Flores about the service I provide and your recommendation for 14 to commend me. Did you get a response from them? I agree that young people these days really get a lot of negativity. Some deserve it, but most don't, and it isn't right that those who make a one-time mistake get that kind of attention. You are absolutely right about what you said regarding my reaction. I was hurt and felt betrayed initially, but I've just trying to go on with my life. No use of letting that drag me down.
