In Harford Co., residents pay their own way for safe streets

Full story: Baltimore Sun

We're trying to fight to gain control On a typical day in First Harford Square, children ride bikes and mothers push strollers to the playground, amid grassy hills and well-kept lawns. But at night, residents say, their Edgewood neighborhood often takes a turn for the worse. Teenagers have been known to toss bricks and rocks at passing cars, slash tires and spray red paint on parked cars. Some incidents are far worse: This month, a woman was pistol-whipped while walking her dog.

Oh please. Perry Hall and Bel Air won't be touched. They are jewels of the county because they are white prominent. Even though the same things are going on there nothing will be done. Everyone thinks they are innocent and nothing happens. Lets just deal with what everyone thinks is the main problem and maybe it will scare the other places straight. Hm?

The bad neighborhoods get it from the good neighborhoods ,so if you were a cop and was patrolling west baltimore you are not going to pull over a group of white kids?????....hmm I wonder what those white kids in mommy's fancy car are doing in a west baltimore neighborhood they clearly do not belong! ever see training day when those kids were in mommy beetle trying to buy crack from the mexicans ? yeah my point exactly it was just a movie I know but do not get it twisted it happens in reality also .

The words coming out of your mouth may be familiar, but your sense of timing makes all the difference right now. Keep in mind that you never know how a risky gesture will work out, although you can always hope for the best. When in doubt, take the more cautious path.
