In a neighborhood that has started to feel like the wild west, people have even started posting “wanted” signs.
“You have to walk around in your house with a gun to feel safe here,” said Alaska Tarvins of the Arcadia Park Board of Directors

Part of Oakland, CA. Sooooo, who do/did these folks vote for, hmmmm?
Notwithstanding, now they're doing every person's job of defending themselves and their neighbors. Maybe the lessons will transfer to other areas of life. Self-reliance may just come back into vogue.

Although I do here other lower-end neighborhoods are taking up the idea too. But, what happens when an 'innocent victim' is shot, captured, or in other ways violated? I worry this will be another excuse for the Obamination to limit our freedoms.
-
Me too, friend.

I'm glad I don't live in a neighborhood that needs a watch. Part of me wishes I could walk around protecting my turf from bad guys, but I'm careful what I wish for.
Even if we did need a "watch", a sheriff's deputy lives kitty-corner from us, and his patrol car often sits in the driveway.
-
LOL. We have a sheriff's office cop living down the street from us too. And he regularly breaks the 35 mph speed limit coming and going.

I want to have some type of compassion...but I can't. Or possibly I'm so emotionally detached, so desensitized I don't care, especially in heavily democratic areas.
-
Heh. The police station is practically kitty corner from me. Now, whether that's a good thing in 2013 or not...
::thinking::
But for now, it is safe.

I don't know- was the victim white or black?
-
This neighborhood looks fairly minority neighborhood. Let's say black.

The one disadvantage to living rural. The thieves can get what they want and be gone before anyone notices. Normally it's in the day time while everyone's at work. It's happened before.
Luckily for us, we have my wife's parents next door and her sister on the other side of them on our lot. There's ALWAYS a vehicle around.

It makes you wonder why the don't do this in Bammy's hood of Chicongo??? Oh yah, I forgot, its all whiteys fault. ::rockets::

Nothing beats self-reliance.
