What a neighborhood watch is supposed to be

1. Good sign, I have been involved in neighborhood watch for several years and my weapon of choice

Is a cell phone. I have never left my home in connection with watching for suspicious activity with a gun and never would I leave my vehicle with a gun. There are professionals called policemen who are trained to handle crime and can arrest ir give citations as needed. Zimmerman was stupid wanna be.

2. Exactly

and the police were on the way. Zimmerman went looking for trouble and a young man died as a result.

10. Okay

I'm not seeing any near term surveillance on Zimmy from that.

11. what I meant is people like Zimmerman running amok in the future should know there may be

Surveillance overhead which would tell the true chain of events, who chased who, who hit first. We already have google earth and it is in detail.

6. I'm not involved in the watch program but we have one in my neighborhood

We call it crime watch and the volunteers who do it walk around
with dogs.


This has worked well and keeps the riff raff away more than having police cars doing drives through the neighborhood.

8. Here's a neighbourhood watch that is unlikely to end in tragedy.

Since not even the police have guns.

9. Too civilized for America

If it doesn't end in bloodshed, it's not worth doing.
