Mikey, I know you are too stupid to understand much of anything.
Joe made a reasonable suggestion about organizing town watch. I simply
wanted Joe and others to understand what I learned from others long
ago. Town watch was deconstructed to foster dependence and not abandoned.
Now, go back under your rock, and roll around in your barking cheese slime.

Joe,
I recall conversations with former town watch participants, when I
was first blowing the whistle about the real purposes of UCD and
the gentrification. As I recall, supports were withdrawn from
town watch because high income consumers would be made cleaner and
safer through the gentrification. If residents became dependent
on and obedient to the new saviors, there was supposedly no reason
for town watch anymore than the great culture that we created
ourselves.
Crime is correlated to income inequality and not a simple lack of
material possessions. I'm sure that increases in chronic stress,
desperation, and powerlessness would also predict increased crime.
The gentrification solutions that have been shoved down our
throats are not only fake, but actually increase the likelihood of
violent senseless crime. Frankly, I'm surprised that there is not
more crime, but we've known for a long time that learned
helplessness defines the lives of most people in third world
America. But violent crime shouldn't be surprising anyone in our
violent immoral society.
Joe, the work you are doing with a youth chess club is wonderful,
and is one small example of projects that make society a safer
place. (I've taught chess before to gifted kids and I would love
to help you if I were in Philadelphia consistently). I would make
chess part of the junior high curriculum for all kids.
When we had a strong UNDIVIDED community, we had a great culture
and were much safer. The police state does not make any of us
safer, while we lose our souls and freedom. The University of
Plutocracy and their corporate cronies should be forced to pay
their fare share of taxes or payments for services in lieu of
taxes. Then, we could support town watch, community driven
culture, and the compassionate/empowering interventions that will
help crime be reduced to a minimum. (Boston University pays five
million a year to the city of Boston)
