National Night Out Against Crime on the Peoria.com Forums

Anyone participating in any of the neighborhood activities? I will be at St. Bernard's parking lot at 5 PM.

@Ramble On:

It would be a good reason to check out my Brussel Sprouts.

Me and the boss will be there.

Did anyone go to any of the neighborhood block parties or events?

I got video, interviews at the St. Bernard's Church Peace March, (Thanks Steve Fairbanks for the ice cream!); Got video of a fantastic Breakdancing group; Center Bluff Association at Columbia Park; (got interview with Dave Koehler on the Pension Reform Special Legislative Session); and Spring Grove Association in Southtown. Video will be aired soon.
Thanks to all!

@DennisinPeoria:

I have seen a couple of pictures from the news and newspaper good lord i am freakishly large. We need taller people in the East Bluff.

Got some good photos, including one of Dennis. They are on my Facebook page. Will blog later..

I hate it when my picture gets taken.

Ramble On, I sent add friend request from CAPtions Facebook. I didn't my pic on your Facebook page yet (under your real name)

I doubt people 'see' crime in person any more often than the police. By response, the cardboard leaders at the event are failed intellectuals uncapable of reasoning outside their accredited fields of education. The States failure is evident in that 'keeping' of the peoples safety cannot be served via the present system, why else arm the population by CCW.

I'd guess $tn change hands due to prohibition alone, as many Cities live large on crime for expansion, ie; Prison service sector....Wal-mart etc. Gangs depend on the Courts to send fresh recruits to be schooled by the best to parole out for the World to deal with, over and over and over again. Such a deal.

I think NOAC events where neighborhood leaders hand out free stuff to residents is a waste of time. However, if people get involved in solving issues in their neighborhoods, then it might be worthwhile. I guess the results of NOAC 2012 remain to be seen.
