I agree, but if he did he would be up the creek..... people would say that he would not have been in danger...

Erinn Payne, who has lived her entire life around the corner from where the beating happened, didn't do anything when she saw the attack. She said she thought the children were beating an animal.

Well, I guess if someone just shrugs their shoulders about that, one can see where moving from four legs to two legs would be an acceptable natural progression for the barbarous little darlings.

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Chronic problem

Police know about the problem of people gathering in the street and blocking traffic but find it tough to stop. If no evidence exists of any major crimes being committed, their only tool is a loitering ticket, said Sgt. Steven Herrmann, who heads the District 7 anti-gang unit.

In the summer, the district would use five or six squad cars to break up groups of 30 or more people blocking the streets, Herrmann said.

"You'd think it would change. . . . Especially when we keep coming down the street, and it's the same guys," Herrmann said. "But we hit them up with a loitering ticket, and we take them into the station; they are processed and booked and out that night."

Of those arrested in McClain's beating, none was a stranger to police in District 7, Herrmann said.

The site of a crowd of teenagers blocking his street is nothing new to Darryl Johnson, who came out Monday night to find McClain on the street in front of his house "stretched out and bleeding."

"I have lived here since October, and they're out there every day," Johnson said of the crowd, some of whom he suspects sell drugs. "If you wanted to do something to nip the problem in the bud, you could have done it a long time ago."

Nothing will change until the community takes control of its streets.

well - altho i'm a neo-texan (was moved here when i was 8)...

My family "abroad" lives in Milwaukee and surounding area's... it hurts to see this crap.... my brother had a gun pulled on him ages ago... for... nothing... there.

I just don't get it i guess... i live in texas where there is a culture of guns... (at least outside of austin/dfw/etc) never had one pulled on me... and yet there in the city where my so pro dem mom lives... she espouses "no guns ever... no legal guns ever... then there wouldn't be any" as if... hell as if just driving down the street was something you were supposed to be able to do w/o harrasment.

I showed a pic of all my guns "posed" to someone and they were like - you scare me... I replied rather quickly... have you ever noticed there ain't ONE ... not ONE news story about the guy who didn't shoot someone. YES the anti's are correct.. there are a jack load of guns out there... but those same people using em would use whatever effective tool was in thier hands... (just think of the millions who own loaded and locked and etc handguns that don't shoot people indescriminantly... like ME... rofl)

Several millions of gun owners... and a very small percentage use them for wrong... hell i bet 100% of everyone owns a knife... we should ban them because they COULD be dangerous....cause ya know.. people stab people.

bleh

sorry to rant... just been a odd week.... that and i'm going to wisconsin (milwaukee) on the morrow via jet-plane... is just unencouraging to hear these stories... =( )

J/Tharg!

Hmm, in Texas, obstructing a public roadway or right of way is an arrestable offense.

Chevy 3/4 tons do have a good record for "one shot stops".

As I'm sure others have mentioned, always keep the doors locked, the windows up, the vehicle running and in gear until you're parked. Then scan the area before killing the motor and exiting the vehicle.

This is crazy.
I suppose it's time to swap the five-shooter out of my edc, at least for the winter.

It's frustrating that this keeps coming up.

My bumper is just about knee level on the truck.

My F-250 bumper is slightly above knee level. My front grill is reinforced by a steel 'brush guard' (AKA 'cow catcher', AKA 'human plow'). Said bumper is pushed by an International diesel engine, a bored out V8 with a few hundred HP and torque that can push a house off its foundation.

The cab is protected by {choose one or more} locked doors, SW642 (135 gr +P), 9mm (124 gr. +P), Rem shotgun (see user name; 00 or #1).
