Gangs 101

The Gang’s #1 concern is making money by selling illegal drugs.

Gangs are here. ( Ask any police officer or correction officer)

Gang members from larger cities come to our area to recruit our residents.

They usually go after young teen boys.  

Teenagers feel powerful, rich and respected at a young age. They think they are going to become a rich and famous gang member.

They then become addicted and sell to others in the community who then become addicted.

The addicts then need hundreds of dollars a week to maintain their drug addiction.

How do they get it?  

Crime……. Burglaries, robberies, etc.  

And besides this Gang Wars begin .. the fight for territory.

Drive-by- shooting and fights.

We need to crack down hard on landlords who continually rent to “problem tenants”.

 NOW !

And if they don’t comply.. they should lose their license to rent. Period.

I have sent this to our City Council and Administration several times.

Drug addicts are desperate for cash.

True story.. my aunt left her purse on her table in front of a window and went to bed…

Wrong move !  The window was broken and purse was gone before she got down the steps !

Ladies… please don’t leave your purse on a table or counter where someone could see it from outside.

Drug addicts are desperate for cash.     

And leave nothing in plain sight in your car…nothing. Not even and empty box of cigarettes, an empty bag, nothing.

Drug addicts are desperate for cash.

Sorry I haven’t written for awhile. My Mom passed away.

Horrible experience.

What makes it worse is that there was no preparation for it.

 What were we thinking ? Immortality does not run in our family.

So please, I know it is hard to talk about… but get your parents and yourself a Will. 

And let others know where it is and what your wishes are.

I’ll say this one more time!!! While we all care about you, PLEASE do not announce your vacation on Facebook.

 I see it over and over.

We care.. but we can wait to see those pictures when you get home. You really don’t know who is using your friend’s computer and could look their friends up on Facebook.

Drug addicts are desperate for cash.

It has been a heck of a few months for our Police…lots of burglaries. But many have been caught  and some with the help of citizens. Kudos guys.

How about this one…

And he said…” He told police that he doesn't "do drugs," but broke into the homes to get some money to go away because he got into a fight with his wife.”

Yea.. O.K. and I am anorexic!

Drug addicts are desperate for cash.

Good Advice from Crime Watch Member…..It's a very good idea to keep the key tag from a store card on your key ring with your keys. My brother found a set of keys up at the Hill climb today and the keys had a Price chopper key tag on the ring. I took the keys to Price Chopper customer service desk and they told me they will call the main office tomorrow, get the information and return the keys to the owner.

Just a little note from your Crime Fighting Master Herbalist….

Allergies are the 6^th leading cause of illness in the United States. Allergic reactions are initiated by the immune system’s over- response to substances it deems as distinct from itself.

If you suffer from allergies…  try NETTLES. It is a natural, safe antihistamine.

It comes in pill and tea form. You have to take 2 or 3 pills a day for about a week for it to work. The tea is good also. It can be mixed with juice for kids. Make a big batch of tea and keep it in your refrigerator and drink two or three cups a day.

Nettles are also filled with iron, potassium and lots of other good stuff.

Don’t kill you liver drugs you don’t need.
