Btw, there are big differences between neighborhoods that need bars on windows and those that don't. My experience has shown me that it's neighborhood involvement, and what the residents tolerate.

But he wasn't doing his job, Pete. He was playing Paul Kersey. He was affiliated with no one. He was hired by no one. He called it in to 911 and then decided to play vigilante. An innocent, 17 year old boy is dead because of this man.
