in any event. christy and i were standing out front on thursday (weeding the front yard) when three bike cops ride past shouting "person with a gun! person with a gun!" and before i know it, they'd jumped off of their bikes and tackled this kid, not four houses down from us, pulled a gun from his waistband, stuffed him in a squad car, and made off with him. he looked like he was about 12

I've been here at the same address for ten years, I used to think it was dangerous, and then I thought it got a lot safer, and now ... Perhaps just anticdotally, with these armed robberies at 40th and locust in broad daylight, it seems to be getting a lot more dangerous .....
