> I was standing outside my daughter's home on Saturday when one of these cretons drove down her street... the noise made my teeth chatter! I was suddenly hit with the realization that as a child he must have been neglected and nobody ever takes notice of him now either - unless he's being obnoxious. What a sad life! Clay
Yes and no - along with the barking of dogs (owners at work all day) there has been an increasing number of yahoos-with-amplifiers- turned-up driving around during 'office hours' in many neighborhoods of Seattle, and these are signs of increasing gang activity - attempts to frighten, which 'work' when the unsuspecting 'victims' attempt to 'have something done about it' by calling the police. And being identified. To the aggressors. Can one prove the following burglaries/graffiti/ vandalism arose from the calls ? Not too easily, especially if one considers that this is simply an escalation and one's personal safety may be at stake . . . There is also on record the ownership of pit bulls and other 'trained' dogs being used to 'defend' gang 'turf', although 'nothing is being done - legally - that I have read about. Yet. I'm hoping there will be . . . The 'land of the free', like 'the old grey mule', "ain't what she used to be" . . .
