It's me...Barbara, the one that does crazy things like try to save the world kind of crazy. The one who had to go to Louisiana after Katrina cuz I KNEW things were being lied about and I KNEW I had to do SOMETHING.
I'm just a regular one woman 'show' so to speak [snark]...nothing fancy, don't try to get recognition. I have a strong concept of right and wrong. I believe if people chose to be parents, they need to BE parents.
You need to realize that I have no tolerance for drug abuse or alcohol abuse...just don't. I have even LESS tolerance if it involves juveniles, cuz we are talking failure by parents.
I live in Temecula, California...just moved here from Oceanside, California 7 months ago to get AWAY from the gangs/drugs/illegals/crimes....
So now I'm in a bedroom community that is nothing more then fanatical christian based, Republican population of close to 100,000. If you are white, you are perfect...even if you smoke crack, beat your wife, and supply your kids with crack, alcohol and/or RUN A LICENSED DAYCARE.
My neighborhood, is supposed to be a 'nice' neighborhood. I'm hugging myself around this concept of 'nice neighborhood' anymore...
Within weeks of moving (to a lovely home)in I noticed 'goths' skulking around (never much gave thoughts to 'goths' till these kids). When I walked Tirawa and Winston in the riverbed next to my home, they would be there in force...10-20 plus on any given time. Trying to hide the booze and the baggies with the drugs...trying to act 'normal' when I passed with their eyes all glassed over, scratching themselves, skinny, filthy looking kids that they are.
Found a tent in the river bed...probably around February/March...mentioned it to a cop when I called in a license number for a jeep that had a kid with booze in it that I suspected was underage. Officer comes out, goes into the riverbed, most of the kids run...kid with jeep had to lie cuz he couldn't go anywhere. He's 17, he supplies/runs alot of the drugs, the cops know this...that night he had 40 bottles of booze...be it beer, or a mixture don't know. He was ASKED to get rid of it and allowed to GO...wow! 17 years old with BOOZE and having been DRINKING and he was allowed to GO...hmmmm...oh yeah, the TENT...sorry, got sidetracked. The TENT holds drug stuff, mentioned it to the cop, said I'd show him where it was...never did get a call back from him, called the cops a few times, no one had time I guess.
FAST FORWARD TO LAST SATURDAY, but keep in mind these kids call themselves the STREET RATS and say they are a gang...they aren't a badass, 'Crypts/Blood' criminal type of gang, but they break into vehicles, break windows, tag, drink/drug and sell drugs.
Oh right, last Saturday...sometime around noon, probably when I was cleaning my house or whatever they STOLE my bike out of my front yard!
Knew it was them, found them hanging out at a house across from the park they think they 'own'...oh yeah, drinking/smoking and did I mention this home is a LICENSED DAY CARE.
Confronted them. Stupid? Who knows, but I am tired of these kids ruining the neighborhood, falling down drunk, destroying property, stealing, selling drugs, tagging things and all of the rest of the shit they do.
Told 'em I wanted my bike back, told them that the residents were about over putting up with their shit...told them that I would make sure the cops were up their ass and that sooner or later they would be caught.
So more about Temecula...the police don't get that this town has these type of suburban gangs terrorizing neighborhoods, they refused to admit that a crack house was found not far from my home in a VERY nice neighborhood. They refuse to admit that apparently we are like the meth capital in this part of California! Wow, love this!!! Such a GOOD CHRISTIAN GROUP OF SOULS HERE!!!!
City Council and Mayor's office can't handle this concept either.
I could ramble on and on, I can't sleep...to scared...why you might ask are you scared and can this frickin' diary end already...if you made it this far with me?
Cuz this afternoon I told a Sgt. who tried to tell me these kids were 'just being kids' that I feared they would begin to retaliate against me cuz I was forming a neighborhood watch, not only because of them, but cuz we have some serious ass drug issues here besides them. He asked me why I felt that way...told him because these wanna be gangbangers have NEVER been apprehended and they KNOW they can get away with it...he said they WOULDN'T.
Oh, yeah, the Sgt. called to tell me that the POP guys (some gang unit of two guys here) and an officer 'shook' the kids down last night after myself and another resident called the police saying that they were using extreme profanity and rolling joints. Back to the Sgt...said the kids were CLEAN, they were just being kids, that they didn't even have CIGARETTES!!!! They were RESPECTFUL and NICE KIDS!
WOW! These are the same 'kids' that have started THREE arson fires in the firebed, have threatened to KILL a couple for reporting them to the police, are selling DRUGS...just to name a few things!
TONIGHT THE RETALIATION BEGAN...one of them followed me while I was walking Tirawa and Winston..he tried to engage me in 'conversation', accusing me of having a 'town meeting' (his words) and that things were fine until I came along, that they don't 'tweak' and that he was going to show up at the 'town meeting' (this is really a neighborhood watch meeting at my house)...told him it was for adults who own or rent...given the circumstances I would have him arrested for trespassing. He got more beligerant...not to the point he threatened me, but I felt 'warned' you might say.
As he was getting bolder, thank GODDESS, my one neighbor drove up on his motorcycle and stopped and listened, then he engaged the guy so I could get home. I of COURSE called the police.
They came out, they victimized me further (in my mind), nothing will be done. They feel that these are kids being kids.
Several neighbors are ARMING themselves because they are fed up. I will NOT be one of them.
I will continue to call the COPS. I am disgusted...who are they kidding. These kids are dangerous...I am going to try and break my lease.
I truly thought we could take our neighborhood BACK. But I draw the line at putting MY LIFE ON THE LINE.
We are spending BILLIONS MONTHLY in a country that doesn't want us and yet we have for SHIT law enforcement in our country and Temecula does not have an ADEQUATE JUVENILE HOLDING FACILITY SO THESE KIDS NEVER GET ARRESTED UNLESS THEY KILL SOMEONE essentially...
WHAT has happened to America? When did we loose our country?
When did people become complacent and non-caring. Why do people sit in their homes and try to keep their rose color glasses on.
GET THE FUCK OUT AND PROTECT YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS...DEMAND facilities for the enforcement of the laws, DEMAND police hirings, DEMAND local government to get out into the communities and see what is going on.
I will be up tonight...I now fear for my life...because of punk asses that LOVE the concept...fuck them.
