Be a coward and the baddies will come to your neighborhood next, forcing your grandkids out to the boonies where they will die from pollution and obesity. You don't have to be Mother Theresa to stop it, so shame on you if you let it happen.
Why do neighborhoods become that way? Because law abiding citizens tire of becoming victims, of watching their neighborhoods fall into slums. But the law abiding can't dispense justice on their own, so they move(if they're financially able). What do you suggest people do?
Hey, I'm all for vigilante justice. Burn down the crack houses. Hunt down the gangbangers. But that's not realistic, and if the police DO increase their presence then the residents of said neighborhoods complain about profiling and police brutality. WTF?
