The SW Pas meeting was in direct response to a recent home invasion robbery.

I'm just saying it's hard to isolate the importance of a post when I'm not sure what I should be concerned about more, a flight at LAX (local and late breaking!), LAPD response time, or North LA versus East LA definitions by Google. Order of importance in my opinion for sure places public safety at a priority. But it's easy to not take it very seriously among the bunch. I just found the whole day's worth a bit silly overall. But, then again, who am I to say? I don't even post here, I just read. And I actually don't walk after 9pm, unless I'm in a very crowded public place, ever. So, no wimp-calling here. :) Go community organize already. :) Of course people have every right to be concerned.

And I know people who have had serious issues that the LAPD simply hasn't been able to respond to. I'm skeptical and don't ever expect them to in the first place, but seeing other people get upset makes me wonder how bad things are hence the questions. If you read my archives here I have a long history of assuming the police won't be there and advocating people take steps to defend themselves.

And before you say I'm a wimp, I used to live on Shotwell in the Mission with sex workers on my block and people shooting up outside my door. We started a neighborhood watch on Shotwell and the Mission Police got really involved and things started to really clean up. My hope is that we can start a Watch on Speedway unless there already is one and I'm not aware of it.

Can't OMG OMG be written before all the posts today? I agree respond time sucks but it always has, not to mention I don't count on LA Metblogs as my reliable news source. Usually I enjoy your posts but today it's a little over the top. Did you just get bored? I mean LAX too? OMG OMG!! Alarmist much today Mr. Bonner? Can’t OMG OMG be written before all the posts today?
