If there's nothing here for you, that suits us just fine.

If the police were doing there job they would send some plain clothes

backup of course). I don't believe in letting criminals rule the
streets.


There are at least three city police stations within a few blocks of
that area, and a Yale police substation nearby, and I'm sure the entire
area is well-patrolled. But that doesn't mean every part of every area
of the city has a police officer on the spot every minute of the day.

What most cities need in their densely populated or commercial areas are
more police officers *in uniform* and on foot.

They have lost control of these areas to the point that it is not safe
to have cops on foot.
DC has more cops per square foot than any other place in the world and
they can't hold all of the neighborhoods.



1. Bull****.

2. DC cops for the most part do not patrol neighborhoods on foot. Most
of them are deployed to commercial districts and governmental areas. So,
again, bull****.

I like waterways and beaches.

I have very little interest in needing my GPS programmed to warn me
which streets are not even safe to drive down in the day time.

I notice you chose to live 50 miles out of town.

BTW what is the cultural activity in Calvert County? Bingo night at
the Calvert Pines Senior Center?



It's actually about 40 miles, a one hour, $3.75 commuter bus ride. Best
way to get to DC if you work there.

We have waterways and beaches, too.

We have museums, galleries, large gardens to visit, many restaurants, a
first-rate regional hospital, good doctors, outdoor music programs in
good weather, a water park, marinas, public launch ramps, move theaters,
lots of interesting fauna and flora, a pretty low crime rate here in
Huntingtown, et cetera. Bingo usually is something the VFW or fire
departments run.

For serious shopping, e.g, a big-time shopping center, we do have to
drive to Annapolis, about 30 miles along a lightly traveled state highway.

Heck, we even have some nutcases in the Tea Party and Constitution Party.

It is interesting that you put this note right behind one saying that
area has been too bad to go through for half a century.



That particular area of the city, and a couple of others, are pretty
grim and have been for many decades. I haven't lived in New Haven as an
actual resident for about 50 years, but I do visit several times a year.
I don't drive on that part of Goffe Street.

That the police patrol Goffe Street is indisputable.

Why don't you compare Estero (where I live) to Huntington, it is a
better comparison although Estero is 10 times bigger in population.
Huntington is just a shopping center on Rt 4 with 2300 people living
nearby.

BTW that real estate site you linked for Naples does not even know
where the boundaries of Estero are but it did give us a crime rating
of 13 (compared to 29 nationally). I was not willing to register to
get the details.
I do know that a "crime wave" here is a couple kids taking things out
of unlocked cars and that is still pretty rare.
I still leave my car unlocked and the key is always in the ignition of
my boat.



Sorry, but "estero" sounds like ladyparts to me. As in, the rash spread
from my vagina to my estero.

Whether it was over Trayvon or just five or six thugs out for a walk,
what difference does it make? (as Hillary would say)
The real question is whether anyone will actually be charged. Probably
not. You probably think this guy did not have the right to self
defense either.

What makes you think it really happened?

There's just no end to the racist bull**** you'll spew, given the
chance. Where is the reliable source that backs up the claim in this bit
of youtube nonsense?

Your source claims the "mainstream" media aren't reporting the incident,
but the New Haven Register, an old-line establishment newspaper is, and
did so days ago. In fact, the Register reported the incident the day
after it took place. Here's a followup piece from a couple of days ago:


New Haven police say witness accounts of alleged scooter theft, assault
all differ


NEW HAVEN Police are still attempting to piece together the events that
left Brooks Macquarrie seriously injured after his scooter was allegedly
stolen Friday afternoon.

The call came in on Friday as a motor vehicle accident on Goffe Street.
Sgt. Max Joyner, district manager of Beaver Hills, said he was down the
street and got to the scene about 30 seconds after the call came in.

There were no visible skid marks, Joyner said.

Sgt. Robert Lawlor Jr., head of the Robbery/Burglary Unit, said that
police so far have three witnesses, but all their accounts of the
incident are different.

?It doesn?t seem like anyone actually observed the initial incident,? he
said.

Some witnesses reported that between five and six male teenagers rushed
Macquarrie and pushed him off the scooter, then proceeded to assault
him, according to police.

The only possible accident debris was a small piece of plastic that is a
few inches long and a screw, he said.

Macquarrie is a technician at New Haven Powersports, located on Whalley
Avenue. He has also raced in Motocross races the majority of his life,
according to employees at New Haven Powersports.

He was released from the hospital on Saturday.

Doctors who evaluated Macquarrie said his injuries are inconsistent with
a quick beat down, according to Lawlor. Macquarrie had 31 stitches and
eight staples in his scalp, two fractured ribs and a fractured right
eye-socket following the incident. He was sent to Yale-New Haven
Hospital for treatment.

The last thing he remembers is being parked on his scooter at a red
light before noticing the group of teenagers crossing the street,
according to a previous Register report. One teen on a bicycle came
close before, but his next memory was waking up in the hospital.

?They didn?t take my wallet or my gold chain, just the scooter,?
Macquarrie said in a previous report.

There was also a report that a green car and a dark-colored Acura sped
away from the scene, Lawlor said.

Officers David Rivera and Jose Miranda spotted the candy-apple red
scooter on Dixwell Avenue near the plaza shortly after 9:30 p.m. Friday.
The two young men riding the scooter abandoned it after they fled into
the rear yard of 31 Orchard Place, according to police.

The scooter is being tested for forensic evidence.

Calls placed to Macquarrie?s residence weren?t immediately returned.

Nice try, asshole.

So, in your mind it didn't happen, huh? Guy gets hit by a car and a
couple of bystanders steal the scooter?


Of course the scooter was stolen, but Psycho's youtube cite claimed it
was a result of the Martin verdict. Dóh.

It was from Facebook, where he gets his news when he's not watching FOX!
