Subject: If you think we don't have problems here... Author: No name [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:44:56 09/01/02 Sun One more thing, for those who think some of us are overreacting, that's fine, you may not be friends with the victims or haven't been affected yourself. I myself have had no problem in the neighborhood but I've seen too much in the past few weeks to ignore it. It sucks that I have to worry about my sister visiting my apartment; I've been a New Yorker for 7 years, and I knew this wasn't Williamsburg when I got here, but it's quite clear that some people were misled into thinking this was going to be like Bedford Avenue. There are minor gripes and whining and then there's violence; let's not confuse the two. I draw the line with violence; Our building and its tenants have clearly been targeted by a violent crime ring and hope you'll agree it's time to escalate the situation by communicating our concerns to the proper authorities -- BEFORE something terrible happens to someone here. And I think the people who want out of their lease for safety reasons have a right to leave. You don't have to come to any meetings, you don't have to get involved, no biggie, you can even benefit from the changes we'll hopefully have made in the building without lifting a finger, but when it comes to this board, please keep the tone constructive or keep it to yourself.

Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:51:23 09/01/02 Sun i agree; at first i thought this was all paranoid bullshit from kids who were living outside of the dorms in the 'big scary ghett0' for the first time, but now i realize that this is actually a real and serious issue, not a collection of random occurrences.

Author: Jared [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:12:05 09/01/02 Sun Whomever you are...I love the fact that most of you can't put your name with your message...Maybe you didn't read the rest of the posts on this page. Constructive? My God...most of the people on here are whining, swearing, complaining, etc. If you would have actually read my responses you would see that I am more than willing to attend the meetings and am very interested in the safety of myself and any others in our building. I too have friends and family that will be visiting from time to time, and I the last thing I would want is for one of them to be injured. Do I know any of the people that have been injured? No. However, I feel terrible that it has happened. I am up for finding a solution. Are you? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
