I'm so sick of hearing about
I'm so sick of hearing about businesses being broken into by people who live in the same communities as we do. Punishments need to be more severe and they need to be put on display publicly.
There should be a billboard of shame outside of every courthouse for people who victimize our community. They should wear pink jumpsuits and be made to clean our streets and towns of trash. They should be made to shovel the walkways of snow for those in our community who can't do it for themselves.
The cost of crimes such as burglary, robbery and thefts are a blight, an insult to every one of us who made it possible for them to have something to steal in the first place. Businesses are the financial cornerstones that make it possible for all of us to pay our bills and put food on the table.
We all have a vested interest in making our communities a better place to live in. If you steal, rob or burglarize businesses or homes, you're scum. You owe every one of us a debt. You have no respect for anyone so why should we have any respect for you?
People like you make it impossible for decent people to live in complete comfort and have a sense of security. You're not just stealing "things" from businesses or homes. You're stealing dignity, security and a sense of well-being. You make all of us feel a little bit dirty because we know we have to walk right past you every day.
If your neighbors and family don't trust you with the keys to their house, you just might be one of those scumbags. Ask yourself if they would trust you and then ask yourself how it makes you feel. Do something about it.
Alot of those "scumbags" hide
Alot of those "scumbags" hide in business suits--you just can't tell now -- crackheads come in all levels-- but the ones that own their own business dress better than the poorer ones -- trust -- well who then--cops --lol-- i guess i have trouble finding the good ones any more
How does north street relate
How does north street relate to myrtle street here?
Maybe there's a possible
Maybe there's a possible connection with the people on Myrtle street. When police investigate, they ask people questions or people call them to tell them what they observed. Maybe someone said they saw that group of people on Myrtle street and THEN saw them later on, on North st.
Pieces of a puzzle need to be put together to see the bigger picture. Couldn't you deduce that on your own, Brian?

Doug, I was referencing the article and wondering the “who” part as to who was asking about Myrtle Street and maybe a why to satisfy my curiosity. Also, where I live on Myrtle, I constantly see people in and out and loitering around behind and around McDonald’s and at the end of the parking lot in that area. It's almost a moot point to ask such a thing unless you put a good description on what your looking for there.
I just deduce that the article here is missing some information, that is all, and maybe Howard can fill it in a little more if the information is available.
