Highway6 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I imagine the person doing this knows exactly how much police presence there is looking for him. I bet he ends up being a neighborhood resident - getting around on foot, jumping through back yards, over fences, low-crawling on the bike trail to stay unseen. We need SEALS with NVG hiding out in trees to catch this guy.On a lighter note - Modern Warfare 2 comes out in less than 2 weeks. The Prestige Edition will include night vision goggles. In 2 weeks, half the teenagers and young adult males in the Heights will own NVGs ..... here's to hoping this dude gets caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barracuda Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Lies. Fords never last that long.According to the latest Consumer Reports reliability surveys, Ford is on par or ahead of the most reliable Japanese brands. http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/27/ford-makes-biggest-gains-in-consumer-reports-annual-relia/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they're already there and we just don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they're already there and we just don't know.There's a difference between undercover and covert. It's kind of hard for undercover agents to walk the streets of the Heights at 4 in the morning unnoticed. After passing the 7th bum pushing a shopping cart while talking into his wrist, I know I would start to sense they're not real bums.No.. we need covert. We need SEALS. We need guys willing to stay frozen and hidden for 72 hours strait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, there are apparently so many people taking shopping carts, it wouldn't be unusual to see a gaggle of cart pushing hobos about the town. And, seeing them talk into their wrists? That's pretty standard bum behavior, along with talking to the CIA agents walking alongside them that no one else can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highway6 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 You're a little smarter than the average guy who gets his rocks off burning tool sheds. I disagree.. Not that I'm not smart... but this guy is probably a resident of the Heights who has managed to burn down a dozen structures right under the noses of our law enforcement without getting caught. This guy isn't remotely dumb. Like i said earlier.. in 2 weeks, half the male population aged 15-30 in the Heights should own NVGs.... this mofo is going down.

Tiko Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I know the odds are slim, but if anyone knows a couple with the first names of Michael and Joy please PM me. I'm guessing Joy's car was broken into because some personal items of hers that I think she'd probably like returned were thrown into my yard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heights Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I've noticed an HPD car parked in front of Anise Parker's campaign HQ at Heights/I-10 for the past two days. I couldn't tell if anyone was sitting inside the one that I saw there at about 1AM today. It's parked up in the parking lot right in front of the building, not in the street. And it was there Saturday, too.Hopefully there haven't been any threats or anything. Anybody have any details? Red? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 The mayor gets police protection. The mayor-elect probably qualifies, as well. Even if the mayor elect did not officially qualify, the police department can make the decision to extend protection to any person it feels is in need of such. It would seem to be an intelligent move to extend such protection to the mayor elect on the off-chance that someone is upset by her election. I would not automatically suspect that threats have been made. I believe it more likely that HPD is thinking ahead.BTW, congrats to Mayor-elect Parker on her election.

Funeral homes do so when they take the show on the road.When I lived on St. Emanuel there was a cop shot in the Meridian parking lot while he was working private security last year. And then of course you'll see moonlighting cops at events, concerts, grocery stores, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJones Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) I think it would be safe to say that ANY mayor-elect, regardless of party, race, creed, or sexual orientation, would be given police protection, or even the appearance of police protection. There are ALWAYS kooks out there with their own backwards a$$ agendas and more than likely to be upset with who got elected if it wasn't their horse that won the race. There is always someone that hates the winner. If you are that conceened about it, go inside and ask.
