A passive posture or declaration of winning. While celebrating they come in on the flank and take over.

I am with you, this is not right. The “enemy” is too quiet. We have to reiterate to the watch standards the importance of keeping vigilant at morning muster.

Probably the same guy that’s a master plumber when he’s standing out front of the Coverstone 7-11 in the mornings.

I get every other friday off and I usually go over to best buy or potomac mills for a movie. I notice the little ones out without their parents swarming all over the walmart and potomac mills. I see cops around all the time and they do nothing. back in the day I had a truant officer who showed up looking for me if I didnt attend school so I’m wondering if they have one in these parts.

As I came home tonight there are three police cars watching for blow through stop the stop sign and speeding up and down Adler on the way to and from their overcrowded apts. The way they are positioned it might be for setting up for an insurance check point.

Yesterday the one remaining overcrowded “flop house” flooded due to the idiots not closing off the outside faucet for the winter and emptying the pipe of water. Hundreds of gallons spilled out of the ceilings due to the burst pipe and pretty much trashed the condo. Not sure if all three levels were trashed, but they didn’t move out. My neighbor was walking his dogs when a hispanic came running out and got on his knees begging for help to stop the water. This same hispanic who says “no habla” when he’s addressed about his trash piling up and me gutting his stereo installation business he ran out of our parking lot. Now he can speak English? My back wall is shared with them but I didn’t have any damage, so far anyway. Our property manager drove from Chantilly to come and turn the water off to the building…

In Bloom’s Crossing they wouldn’ve even be subject to the resolution, but then again they do have a problem understanding borders.

“The 2 forclosures and 1 rental that exist all had hispanic families living in them however.”

At least those were FAMILIES. My neighbors kotted their lving room curtains and propped open their screen doors, and invited whoever and whatever to crowd in with them, and they didn’t care what was living under their roofs. I swear there was a drug dealer living next door to me. I can’t think of how else someone who didn’t seem to have any sort of employment drove expensive, souped up, late model vehicles (a pick up and a sports car), and often left home at odd hours–meaning three to six times overnight (I was awakened each time by his very loud exhaust system), returning within 10 to 20 minutes. he was never away for more than an hour or two at the most–not nearly enough time to work at a job. The homeowner allowed him to park in the driveway and everyone there seemed to defer to him and let him boss everyone around and run everything. The flashy lifestyle, intimidation and odd habits add up to one thing for me.

The other neighbors didn’t have anyone as bad at that living with them, but their tenents weren’t much better. All six houses I mentioned in my other post bought after I moved in, and all are gone now. They left behind a legacy of broken windows, heaps of trash, junk furniture, and declining property values for everyone. After three long years my nightmare is over. While the homes sit empty I wait anxiously to see what happens to them and I pray for good neighbors.

And like you, on the next block, about three homes away is a nice and legal Hispanic family, who are friendly lovely neighbors and have one of the most beautifully tended homes and lawns in the entire subdivision. Hispanics CAN make it, if they are legal so that they can find secure jobs that pay market wages, and use credit responsibly to buy what they can afford, and rely on a strong nuclear family to care for and pay for their most expensive assett, rather than rely on assorted illegal and criminal riff raff to help them cover their bills.

I’ll have to agree, many hispanic families in my area bailed to the their loans resetting on their houses. If I hadnt had a VA certificate I would not have been able to afford when I bought 5 years ago. I turned my equity around about 2 years ago and refinanced conventional at 4.8 percent, best thing I every did and I still have tons of equity in this craphole market.

My neighborhood is looking pretty vacant, I have one hispanic neighbor and she’s very nice (and legal) immigrant from el salvador. I cannot think of anymore that remain on my block. The 2 forclosures and 1 rental that exist all had hispanic families living in them however.

Good News about the 7-11, I have not checked the one on parkway/route 1 although I’m sure the vagrants are still there. I think they should just demolish that whole area and start from scratch.

This is indeed good news. Maybe the complaints to PWCPD are doing some good!! I hope the 7-11 has the best business day of all today. I can imagine many women and young people are intimidated to go into the store with the harassment of these people. Many will avoid the situation and go to the next one instead.

The pressure is on and as long as we can maintain the small crime pressure, the better off we will be.
