Canfield Green Ratings/Reviews

Why.....would......anyone.....send....their...son....to live there, much less their mother??????

 

[popsicle]

Hmmmm..... Most of those reviews mention crime in the area. Car thefts and break-ins, robberies, muggings. Lots of fights. Unruly teens.

None of them mentioned police harassment, even in a minor way.

Don't forget the shootings!

Wow...that sounds like a great thing on paper...wonder how it's going to work out...

<self-snip> Don't trust myself to say anything.

K, first 10 seconds and she's going on and on about "cop killers" and how they are all over the neighborhood...does she not realize that term is used to describe people who shoot cops, not the other way around???

Even urban dictionary doesn't define it the way she's using it here???

 

[Linda7NJ]

Oh lord.

Yeah...doesn't sound at all like it would be a bad place to live...if it wasn't for those pesky kid killer cops that slink through daily....eyeroll

This seems an excellent idea. Building a sense of community with purpose and fostering a sense of empowerment in the sense of the word I am used to using it. Knowledge is power. Knowing your neighbors is the start to caring for, protecting the interest of and policing your neighborhood from a place of knowledge.

To me this seems like the best, most long term attempt at putting into place an opportunity for change I have seen in this entire month since the shooting.

I hope it's OK to post this. Apparently MBs twitter and a message to what appears to be a girlfriend who broke his heart.

3 days prior to the shooting

You know....I'm not going to hate on anyone for living where they live, because nice neighborhoods require money. You can still have respect for yourself and your neighbors, though, regardless of where you live.

 

[tlcya]

LambChop, could we get clarification? Previously we were told that MB's social media was off limits. I have seen the twitter above and it is MB's but was unsure if we are now allowed to discuss it or if the directive is still that it is a :nono:

This is such an unusual case and discussion it is hard to keep up with what is on the table or off as the case progresses. Please and thanks.

Amen. My hood is not a good one and I share it with some pretty awful neighbors. But there are those of us in neighborhood who take pride in our homes, who bother to know our neighbors and monitor our kids. you can live in poverty and still live with pride and dignity.

Don't we send PM's or alert on posts regarding moderation questions?

Just realized O'Reilly Factor is covering this.

I don't think it is a negative post. Makes you feel sad for him. But I will ask. Thanks.

The end of this one is the one I'd seen somewhere else on YouTube, but I think it was clearer/lighter? Maybe recorded on someone else's phone. Swarming around police cars, Black Panthers, Black Power fist, then prompted to put hands up by person(s) in crowd.
