Every so often the police around here roust a bunch of gang bangers. It makes for good headlines, and the politicians then assure us that this is proof of how they're cracking down. Every once in a while some guy with multiple murder warrants gets snagged in the net, but all the others are back on the street within days.

However, I understand that there's a plan to put anti-gang billboards up in problem areas. That's a relief. When the message gets out that it's not nice to gang bang . . .

You know what that means, don't you? Some bleeding heart group is going to ask for a grant to help teach these JDs how to read, so they billboards have a chance to work.

Now, about that bridge leading to Brooklyn.........

.
Here, for misdemeanors, they are usually cited out within hours. Around long enough to process them in and out. The dumb ones bail out when they were just going to get cited out. Thats always funny, but its usually someone who doesnt know the game. The gang bangers know the game.

Felony possession or something, they aint going anywhere unless they bail, get some miracle O/R by the judge or get sentenced. Once they get their pled sentence, as long as its not prison, they'll probably do minimal.

There aren't enough trees in either of the Dakotas for logging and definitely not enough to be called any type of wilderness.

Good news with regard to Trenton's gang problem! With this man leading the city police force, gangs will soon be a thing of the past. This is a recent photo of the chief on duty faithfully discharging his duties to serve and protect the people of Trenton.




Visit www.captsleepy.com

You'll all be interested to know that Trenton's gang problem has caught the attention of the New York Times, which reports that some deep thinker had the bright idea to buy tailored business suits for all gang leaders. You see, the reason they're in a gang is that they don't have a job, and the reason they don't have a job is that they don't have a nice suit to wear to the interview . . . you get the picture.

So one gang leader got his "business" suit specially tailored out of expensive "Blood" red silk.

I thought the forum might be interested in a recent occurrence. If you remember, the gang attack on the softball team was in retribution for the actions of at least one player who broke up a beating that a kid was giving to his girlfriend. You also remember that the police who arrived cautioned the players that getting involved was foolish, because "you might get shot."

Yesterday an off-duty (and unarmed) Trenton police officer, driving past a pizzeria, saw a guy in the parking lot beating up a woman, so he stopped to intervene—and got shot in the chest for his trouble. He is now hospitalized in critical condition.

After a standoff of several hours, the police finally captured the perp by evacuating the entire neighborhood and tear-gassing his dwelling. Turns out the girl he was beating was his sister. The punk—er, youth with difficult-to-meet needs—was on parole after serving time for assaulting a police officer.

I wonder whether they had to wake up the chief to get the SWAT team dispatched.
