That's bull****. One of my closest friends in New Haven is well up in
the police command structure and we talk about crime in the area all the
time. The New Haven police patrol everywhere.

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.

I'm still looking for the part in REAL informational posts where it
states that the attackers were there in protest of the Zimmerman
verdict, could you or Scotty point me to that information?

If the police were doing there job they would send some plain clothes
cops down these streets once in a while (armed and with adequate
backup of course). I don't believe in letting criminals rule the
streets.

When they try, they get accused of racism.

Oh horse****! Jails are overcrowded with the majority of inmates being
black.

Ooooh...but sorry, I'm not impressed by your junior high school tirade,
and who would be from a guy whose mom thought so little of him she named
him JackOff, er, Jack Goff.

Heh, heh... talk about junior high style attempts at insult.

My "tirade" is spot on though, eh?

There are several newspaper accounts of this. Some claim he was
beaten. Some claim he may have been hit by a car.
Apparently there are no eye-witnesses, so nobody knows for sure.

But you know what is a little strange? The victim has been
identified as Brooks MacQuarrie. He works at New Haven Power Sports.
This happened last Friday, which would be the 19th.

He has a Facebook page which I found, thinking there might be more
information available as to what really happened.

Nope.

In fact, there are no references to it at all and MacQuarrie has
updated his page *since* the event .... during this week.

Doesn't really mean anything but I thought that for a guy who has so
many serious injuries that no mention of them have been made on his FB
page was a little unusual.

Sounds a lot like south western Florida but we're a lot closer to Key

I feel like I live in Andy of Mayberry land. My town's crime score
is 91 (100 is the safest).

Population: 15,140

Violent crimes per year: 0.3 per 1000 residents. (5 last year)
Property crimes per year: 6.34 per 1000 residents. (96 last year)

Barney Fife would be proud.

Are all bankers bad or just the ones that want you to pay them back?

Hard to believe there are no witnesses, since that part of Goffe Street
has housing, small businesses, lots of pedestrian traffic. Even the
Shell station where I worked part time one semester after high school
was over for the day is still there, amazingly, though the building has
been redone into a convenience store. About two blocks away where it
turns into Broadway are the Yale Co Op and the site of where Cutler's
Record Store used to be. I'm sure you know the area.
