I'm also praying that the kid will survive by God's grace.<br /><br />Anonymous 8am, I agree with anonymous 12:55. If you "secure" those tracks, with fences and what not, it'll actually make it unsafe for the trains and its workers/passengers. I feel bad for the kids and their parents as well.<br /><br />Anonymous 1:34, hmmm....<br /><br />Anonymous 2:42, I absolutely agree with you. That's exactly what I do now (I didn't always do this, as most of you know). And I agree that this is exactly what paid journalists do, as well as other bloggers.<br /><br />Anonymous 3:57, I'm guessing that the city took it, or like Skippy said, maybe gypsies took it. Not really sure though.<br /><br />Anonymous 7:24, I'm sorry to sound harsh here myself, but I don't think you know how to read. Because if you did, you would've read my post last night on this topic. As I said last night, I take back asking for people's donations. Really, I do. If they sincerely and absolutely want to donate, fine, but I'm not putting a PayPal button up here or going to beg and plead about it. I'm not that desperate. I just thought that the community would want to show some kindness to me, especially for everything I have done for this neighborhood (and again, I admit for being stupid for thinking this way, because I should've known better about the people in this community). But that's okay. I don't expect rewards or pats on the back. The only thing that pays me back for doing this kind of work is when more and more people start getting involved in their community and community groups start to spring up to change their neighborhoods. That's my reward, because it makes me feel good. It means I have worked towards my goals of making this community safer and better for everyone. And again, telling me to get a job? Really? Like I already told, I've applied for quite a few jobs already (I started this last summer and have not heard back from one place). Provide me with the job and I'll take it. But until then, please lay off. About the CAPS meetings, how many do you think I've been to this year? Besides my own CAPS Beat meeting (which is every OTHER month), I've only been to two other CAPS meetings. And really, stop preaching to me about the "real world", because I've already begun to experience it. Unfortunately for me, that started in my early teenage years.AvondaleLoganSquareCrimeBlotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16265055037044651064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688871896061751645.post-68248108197355225452012-04-15T21:30:19.741-05:002012-04-15T21:30:19.741-05:00I WAS ON HIAWATHA TRAIN 3??

IT SLOWED DOWN AND WHEN IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CONDUCTORS WENT OUT AND THE BOYS BODY WAS OUT THER NOT SURE WHERE BUT THEY JUST KEPT SAYING A BOY HAS BEEN HIT AND THEY HAVE TO WAIT FOR PARAMEDICS TO ARRIVE. AFTER TALKING TO ONE OF THE TRAIN CONDUCTORS IT DIDNT SOUND GOOD HE SAID THE BOYS HEAD WAS SPILT OPEN AND IF HE WAS ALIVE HE WASNT SURE FOR HOW LONG. I PRAY BY THE GRACE OF GOD HE SURVIVES. THERE WAS LESS THAN 25 30 PASSANGERS ON THE TRAIN. I FEEL SO BAD.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05996581806752409641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688871896061751645.post-36229935488993366812012-04-15T19:36:25.468-05:002012-04-15T19:36:25.468-05:00The gypsy's took the bicycle.The gypsy's took the bicycle.Skippy Millernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688871896061751645.post-70095566170288420112012-04-15T19:24:25.379-05:002012-04-15T19:24:25.379-05:00I will not be donating anything.

...Anonymous Sunday, April 15, 2012 1:34:00 PM CDT, <br /><br />I want to address your outrage about Timmy posting addresses here. He does NOT post the complete address that is put out over the zone, he just puts out the first two numbers and adds a double X after the first two numbers. <br /><br />What Timmy does is no different than what a paid journalist does. If you want to sue him, you would have to sue the entire slew of media outlets plus the entire internet community that writes about crime and community concerns. <br /><br />Yes, a person is innocent until proven guilty and having a partial address posted does not indicate guilt or innocence, just that a call came out about that address.<br /><br />CPD's Clearpath site has addresses posted going back 10 years. You gonna sue the city too? What an uninformed person you are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688871896061751645.post-13460740041447668302012-04-15T13:34:03.368-05:002012-04-15T13:34:03.368-05:00Anonymous 8:00, perhaps people should sue Timmy fo...Anonymous 8:00, perhaps people should sue Timmy for posting peoples addresses on this blog?
