   off topic…I was trying to start a new post but perhaps this will do.

   I the past few weeks, two of my friends have been held up at gunpoint by a/some hooded thugs in OUR neighborhood. Separate occasions, separate locations.

   If the Richmond Police Department cannot eliminate this threat, some well armed citizens may. Enough is enough.

   What does it take to get these thugs off of the street?

   Concealed weapon permit? Nope. If this neighborhood is becoming the wild, wild, west, I’m carrying an licensed weapon in a holster for all to see. Maybe two, and a derringer in one boot, a knife in the other.

   It’s on. I’m gonna go Bronson, Charles Bronson.

   I smoked the bag of weed. It made me and my friends very happy. You should have been here.

   Incident # 1 - Happy Family. 23rd and Thug. Easter Eve.

   Incident # 2 - Parking lot of Poe’s Pub. Last Eve.

   Same M.O.

   Can’t we get the Right Reverend and Honorable Dolores McQuinn “pay us some mind” and do something to protect her constituency?

   Hey Stupor Dave, if you continue to smoke the bags of weed you find in the gutter on 23rd St., you’re going to end up living in a van down by the river!

   I’m not sure what you’re getting at here. The police chief is a position appointed by the mayor, not the council. In addition, said police chief has done such a great job that other cities are trying to steal him away (Richmond Free Press - PDF).

   And I’ve a seen a very visible uptick in police enforcement in our particular neck of the woods. The incident above wouldn’t have happened if the police weren’t scoping out something already. I saw 2 bike cops getting up on something very quickly on 22nd street the other day, too.
