  1. mopar,

    some suggestions;

    good lighting; helps keep away vermin and criminals alike.

    motion sensor/lighting; see above

    a good alarm system; at hint of annoyance, press the red button to blast out 120 decibels of crud dispersing sound.

    car alarms will work as well.

    keep in touch with the local precinct

    keep in touch with the community board

    keep in touch with local politician’s offices

  2. Yes, you are right. I should have called the police immediately. That was stupid of me. Next time. I feel bad.

    I wasn’t quite sure what was going on — exactly like the witnesses of the Kitty Genovese situation.

  3. Biff, besides your friend should prioritize 1st her own job, what is there to be gained by your friend’s colleague know she’s about to be fired? ie would that person go look for and get a job before she is fired (ie stupid to resign to work somewhere else when one can get severance pkg but then it’s super hard to time that double-dipping of the goodies)? would the person put up a stink which forces mgt to find out who the F leaked this and now they have to this disgruntled employee threatening to sue,….. if the person cant do anything to change situation, knowing about it just gets her scared, angry, etc all that time waiting for the axe to come down (ie might be better to just come into office one day and be told the bad news)

    that sounds horrible
    were they young adults or teens?
    when the neighbor came out, did they all just walk away seperately?
    I would call the local precint to at least report what you heard and saw

    What am I supposed to do?

    there’s not much you can do but call the cops when its happening i guess. i do however find the gay-on-gay violence aspect of your story kinda funny tho. sounds like the west village on weekend nights when all the tranny trash comes into the city via the PATH train.

    *rob*

  6. legion, or he received a citation of excellence from uft(unfit teachers)

    lo siento, I know teachers like him are not the norm but they seem to get the most benefit from union leadership.

  7. Benson — I have to agree. I’m part of a union that is affiliated with the AFT (the national union of the UFT). They are conducting a hard fight for mediocrity! It makes me angry… but my voice is, sadly, part of the pathetic minority.
