Cops want to practice their stormtrooper tactics anywhere, anytime, and upon anyone who is convenient and, particularly if the "victim" is at all, weak and/or marginalized in some manner. "Protect and serve" -- give me a break!

These guys in orange vests are getting more aggressive. They don't just stand on the concrete dividing lanes--they walk right up to your window and, if it's open in warm weather, they stick their bucket in your window. It's ridiculous.<BR/><BR/>Peashakes are illegal now. Shut em down. And they're safety hazards...the buildings in which they operate are not zoned for such activity. At bingo halls, VFWs, etc., altho the illegal activity should be stopped, the facilities are properly set up for crowds. As such, they're regularly inspected for continuing compliance.<BR/><BR/>Oh wait...I forgot...if you're violating zoning ordinances, in this city, under this Mayor and certain DMD hearing officers, it doesn't matter.<BR/><BR/>Do we havhe to have a nightclub fire, like the one in Delaware a couple of years ago, to wake us up to illegal occupancy violations? Who'd be in trouble then? The city, for letting them operate illegally.<BR/><BR/>Hey Wilson--how about we open up a peashake next door to your ramshackle? Condoms, broken bottles, needles in your yard and on the street...loud activity on weekends...prostitution, large amounts of cash in and out...all the activities which make a neighborhood prosper.<BR/><BR/>Or would momma object?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-60861966805698710122007-02-07T23:21:00.000-05:002007-02-07T23:21:00.000-05:00Another illegal thing that the police look the other way about are the supposed charities at the intersections asking for money.

What bothers me is... what the Hell dos it have to do with pea shakes?<br /><br />Wilson you are trying to divert the subject of this thread.<br /><br />Black folks in Indianapolis can take care of themselves...I have been told that they wish you would go away and let them settle their own problems. <br />Not one African American has told me that pea shakes are a good idea...except those involved in the game.<br /><br />It’s kinda like having a whorehouse on the corner, it effects the entire neighborhood. <br />But your boy Clinton would like that ...Party Central.Legacy Userhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01624388336192960176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-75001498844849637522007-02-07T19:08:00.000-05:002007-02-07T19:08:00.000-05:00Holy crap, he has outdone himself.

I live near enough to some to see it.<br /><br />If they're illegal, shut them down (along with the VFW halls and the other illegal joints.) If you want them to be legal, then pursue that, if it's so bloody important. But this ambiguous, "ignoring the problem" doesn't help the neighborhoods at all.<br /><br />I don't have some bone to pick about the morality of gambling - there are plenty of legal gambling joints you can go to if you need to throw away your pocket money that badly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-85728890278168625912007-02-07T18:31:00.000-05:002007-02-07T18:31:00.000-05:00Regardless of what you think the ultimate outcome in regards to pea shake houses should be, at the present time they are still ILLEGAL. They are a violation of state statue and are subject to the penalties that come with them. Save your racial, political, or gambling viewpoints for real issues. The people who run and frequent these establishments are committing a crime, no matter whether or not we think it should be one or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-7895724584303422802007-02-07T18:04:00.000-05:002007-02-07T18:04:00.000-05:00I agree with Biddle, make pea shakes legal.
