Good memory--yes! There was a death outside my home last month. Today, after the early morning arrest, I left and came back, my was blocked by first responders tending to a guy who regularly wanders around drunk, asking people for help, so they call 911. Sometimes, during a bad patch, it's is daily with him, but average is a couple times a month.


This used to be a sweet, boring little town, but it's seriously tanked in the last couple of years. I chalk it up to people not being able to afford to live. All the money floats up, people get hopeless and desperate, lose their homes, seek relief from the pain, rob and thieve because they have no choice. Someone talked about poor houses here the other day. I think of jails as the modern day equivalent. A lot of people stuck there because they can't afford bail or good representation.

And then there are those that are just utterly reprehensible bullies and bad people. I have definitely noticed an uptick in bad behavior, road rage and bullying by white guys since he who shall not be named took over.

But--back to the drug houses. A lot of my neighbors keep a good watch. Many take license plate numbers of "customers" and report them to LE, which works to drive out the dealers, but it takes a long time.
