      I went on PS 321's website and didn't see anything about this vigilante group...so I called PS 321 - they don't know anything about this.

      Anyone else dying to know what he means about the patrol representing the make-up of the community. No? Me neither

      Peanuts, we believe you.

      ...but we now have yet another thread that celebrates freetime and/or refusal to do actual work at work.

      I love it when these happen.

      For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.

      Free time is no excuse for this. I have tons of free time, but you don't see me starting such troll-ish threads. The mere idea of Park Slope being a mecca for thieves and criminals....

      This tenant Patrol will not be modeled like those inbred fools in Crown Heights. Yes I said inbred because last summer I had my own run in with them as I bicycled down Ocean Parkway. Another story for another time.

      FYI, since you've only been here for a year and a half, Ocean Parkway is no where near Crown Heights. And the Lubavichers will kick your ass if you start to confuse them with Satmar.

      Tateinbk-

      True, but we are not celebrating the OP and Sliwa.

      I, for one, was celebrating chainsaw bears. Another was celebrating her dwarf.

      Do you wish to celebrate Park Slope? It is a very nice community.

      Again, there is nothing on PS 321's website, nor does anyone there know anything about it. Plus, very odd that PS 321 would hold something like this, especially on a Sunday. So, Vince, could you please enlighten us all? I'm a bit confused about where this meeting is taking place.

      Whynot, I would pay good money to see bears all over any part of this city. And Pink flamingos on any yard or stuck in any window box would quite make my day. Celebrate Park Slope, sure, why not. I've never lived there, but I did live close by for a while. Frankly, it seems lovely.

      I think the fabulous grocery store options when living near Vanderbilt/Flatbush along there is something worth celebrating. I did have these two guys out when I had a small front yard area. The frog got a little damaged because it cost a dollar from Target, and was clearly cheaply made.

      They have now moved inside with all my plants. With my north-facing windows I may be the only person in this city getting a grow light to keep actual herbs (basil, parley, rosemary) alive.

      here are crime statistics for Park Slope:

      http://www.ci.nyc.ny.us/html/nypd/downloads/pdf/crime_statistics/cs078pct.pdf

      And, yes, there is crime here like everywhere in NYC, but, some of you are making it sound as if it is not safe to walk down the streets. Come on, you leave your bike locked up outside and then are shocked when your bike seat is stolen? This is common knowledge that bike seats get stolen, I can't believe your bike wasn't taken! I think people get lulled into a false sense of security because this is such a good safe neighborhood and people forget, it is still Y, you still have to be careful. But, it is by far not crime ridden!

      I'm still waiting for an answer from Vince or his buddy, Very happy Sloper (whom I think is the same person), to tell me exactly where this meeting is since i don't see how it is at PS 321

      LongtermSloper,

      I think it was Confucius who once said "it is best to ask good questions only of those who have good answers".

      I believe you followed his advice when you sought the crime stats from the NYPD website, but do not believe you are doing so now.

      For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.
    16. Thank you all for inquiring about the meeting that is to happen on Sunday. Anyone interested in the meeting please private message me. I will gladly link you with the posted flyer if you prove to be the real deal. Why such secrecy? Well, let me say that ever since I joined this forum I have been treated like a step child by the moderators. Recently I have been attacked by other long time posters and upon defending myself I have been viciously warned by the moderators to stop my behavior or I would be banned. I found this one sided punishment to be very biased and quite unsavory so I launched a lengthy message to the moderators who sanctioning me and low and behold even stranger things started to happen. For starters a few of my topics were made handicapped so no one could see them. An unsavory comment was placed under my icon name in order to embarrass me. Some of my comments were erased and to make matters worse last night my password was rendered inoperable. Thank god for reset. Why are all these obstacles being strewn in my path? Why does the truth wound certain moderators? Why does progress make them so uncomfortable? Is it because I dared to mention the unthinkable in their book?...THERE IS CRIME IN PARK SLOPE! Yes, there is crime in Park Slope and yes it is getting worse. The above member just posted the crime statistics for the Park Slope area and it is is not peaches and cream like the moderators are trying to make it out to be.

      http://www.ci.nyc.ny.us/html/nypd/downloads/pdf/crime_statistics/cs078pct.pdf

      Only a fool lies to the public but it is a greater fool who lies to himself. The organization of a Tenant Patrol should not be seen as a threatening occupational force but instead applauded as a saving grace. Drastic times call for drastic measures and it really saddens me that a select few are intent on sabotaging a wonderful thing.

      It is for this reasons that I will only give out the information to people who are interested in earnest. I will not have morons coming to the meeting to disrupt it as has already been threatened by envious posters. If you are really interested please message me with your name and phone number. I will only deal with you in person and if you pass muster you shall be invited to the meeting. So far we have confirmed 18 people to the event and I pray that more shall follow.

      THANK YOU ALL FOR THE INTEREST AND GOD BLESS.

      Both groups are the same in my book. They stink to high heaven , they disrespect all other communities, they are comprised of village idiots and they disrespect women in general. They are just a band of roving imbeciles who are not even respected by the other piggly wigglies in blue.

      I pray that Vince, does not take a page out of the book of these supposed watch groups. The best thing he can do is reach out to Curtis Sliwa for some sound advice. The Guardians Angels have their act together.

      He is in luck; Sliwa will speak to anyone. ...but the intelligent know better than to listen.

    23. I would love to be able to post information on this meeting. However, your cowardly moderators censor whatever posts they don't agree with or like. Typical tough guy behind the keyboard and a complete coward in real life. I guess you will have to message Vince for the info.

      No one is trolling anything. A few of us are tired of being victims of crime and nothing be done with it. If you don't like or dont agree with a thread then just ignore it and go elsewhere. The only trolls I see on here are the moderators who sensor threads they don't like. I don't feel I've been disrespectful. If I continue to be sensored for no reason then I will have to take this matter to the next level.

      I would like to formally announce the creation of a second neighborhood watch group with the mission of watching Vince's neighborhood watch group, in the event that they get into any kind of trouble while fighting crime. My group will aslo have a secondary mission, which is to fight vampires. My group will be called the "Shadow Snipes," and we will wear uniforms based on this design:

      Mr. Vince, if it is o.k with you I would like a few minutes to address the folks in attendance regarding the rodent problem at JJ Byrne park. BTW, what kind of pastries are acceptable at this function? I'm buying.

    39. Pyrrhic, as soon as we get the more important matters out of the way you can have the floor. As for the pastries perhaps a few boxes of Entenmanns cakes will suffice. Thomas already has pledged the coffee and tea.

      I love design by committee. This is going to be excellent.

      I vote we watch the neighborhood together from our favorite perches [The Gate, Sepia, Washington Commons, Woodwork, and Union Hall] while holding a beer.

      Of course, members will be free to watch it as they go to the Food Coop, PS321, Boing-Boing, or the laundrymat. Basically, we can watch it from anywhere as we go about our lives.

      This is a great idea.

      Wait, why do we need uniforms to do what we are already doing? ....Is Armchair the only one who wants to wear superhero undies?

      I vote we dress all in black in the dead of summer like our adjoining uncouth watch group friends of Brooklyn. Super hero fashion is paramount. On second thought why be mistaken with a band of hooligans who frequent prostitutes and beat their women on a regular basis? At least we can still wear black cowboy hats like they do and try to look like mysterious wild wild west cowboys.
