I'm no reporter, nor do I portray one on TV, but I am posting this to alert women in my community. This was in yesterday's Morning Call police report. I think it should have been on the front page.
This happened at 2:30 in the afternoon, near the CVS where I often shop.

Hi Mrs. Dottie. I agree. This story really should've been a bigger deal than a tiny police report. Thanks for sharing it. I totally missed it in the paper.
This is just four blocks from my home, not four blocks east which would be business as usual for Allentown but four blocks north. This area has degraded remarkably in the last several years; many of the homeowners are gone and have been replaced by renters. Many of the properties are in disrepair. Crime is blights constant companion, too bad Ed Pawlowski can’t see past Hamilton Street.

So you mean crime really does exist in Allentown?
This was not on the front page of TMC because (1) there was no murder and (2) it involved a woman.

RE:"They are killing each other and for what? gang turf and drug turf. What part of that don't you understand? Don't blame slavery on me."
I think you are missing my point, Anon,or is it River?. And white people commit crimes too. What I am referring to is what Obama himself talked about on Larry King the other night. He gave the example of a white woman walking down the street, and as a black man approaches from the other direction she might cross the street to avoid the black man, assuming becuse he's black he might be a criminal.

crime is getting worse dottie
Anon,River?
I'm talking about crime in Allentown at this post, but at MM's post which you quoted from the topic was Obama's pastor.
Yes, the crime in Allentown is mostly caused by gangs and drugs, and it is getting worse and extending to the west end and surrounding areas.
