>Bad timing of this question with River Ave being in the news today for a kid stealing a car

It wasn't just a stolen car. It was a CARJACKING BY A 13 YEAR OLD!!

That's the kind of stuff that goes on in Wanskuck, OP.

"My husband and I just moved to River Ave (Wanskuck) from the Netherlands and feel a bit unsettled by the looks of it."

Your instincts are not wrong.

>Since you’re the local expert on crime, can you pull up some stats about the people who have been walking, minding their own business and were victims of crime in this area?

Insincere question as you are well aware that those stats don't exist for this area or any area.

>We live north of admiral, but i think it will be fine! Thank you!

Wanskuck isn't an area to be taking walks - especially when dark.

The people telling you that your only risk is getting hit by a car are people who are not even remotely familiar with the area.

River Ave (Wanskuck) between Admiral Street and Douglas Ave = bad

River Ave (Elmhurst) between Admiral Street and Chalkstone Ave = good

River Ave (Valley) between Chalkstone Ave and Valley Street = bad

Edited to add: OP, this is accurate info. It will likely get downvoted though. And not because the info isn't accurate. A bunch of weirdos on here downvote all of my posts because they (falsely) believe I'm a former banned member who caused a lot of trouble.

Unlike many on here, I don't subscribe to the idea that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".

This isn't simply right versus left. It's an extreme right hate group versus people who embrace and push an ideology that goes against everything our country stands for.

I don't understand why anyone would choose to support either side.

AND YOU'RE DOXXING THE OLD MAN WITH YOUR CHANNEL 10 LINK

Again, you're not fooling anyone.

The old man apologized. Whether or not it was sincere, he took corrective action. It's over.

And yet here you are...still trying to incite violence. Pathetic.

You're too much of a coward to admit it. Although you kind of already did when you said "call the cops then nerd" in response to me saying "Whether you realize it or not, you're inciting violence".

Not to mention the cowardly way you went about firing an employee.

>i haven't once encouraged anyone to hurt this guy.

Not in so many words, but you're not fooling anyone.

>i'm not.

Maybe not, but you're encouraging others to do it.

>I love how you post literally every crime in Providence but also defend this old fuck? What’s wrong with us? What the heck is wrong with you?

I'm not defending him. I also have serious doubts about his story, but I have a real problem with the mentality I'm seeing here. It's pretty clear to me that several people want this old guy to be physically harmed. That is not ok. And that is something I absolutely won't support.

And what on earth does this have to do with posting crime articles?

Whether you realize it or not, you're inciting violence.

And that is unacceptable.

I suppose you'd prefer if someone went and beat the old man to a pulp?

How about growing the fuck up, giving him the benefit of the doubt, and letting it go.

What's wrong with you people...

>Wait for the post from OP about his father not understanding the significance of an upside down US flag.

"According to the U.S. Flag Code, flying the American flag inverted is legal, as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property."

^ Considering the tone of yesterday's threads...

A lot of ageist comments in this thread.

And the bottom line is the flag was removed. Let it go.

>Was there any merit to the person that said they spoke to this guy and he was saying racist / bigoted things? There are people also claiming your father was threatening to shoot people? Is this just random people on Reddit telling lies?

I think so. Telling lies and trying to incite violence, IMO.

Edited to add: The person who made those statements has at least one post in a subreddit that "officially endorses the New Black Panther Party and the Black Hebrew Israelites".

Both of those groups have been classified as violent hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The only legitimate reason to not contact the police is if they're criminals also.

>If you think they would open an investigation into what is considered petty vandalism you've really got a fantasy view of the police.

The homophobic note attached to the brick puts it into hate crime territory, not just petty vandalism.

Your friend sounds like an idiot. It's the ghetto.

I don't know anything about the lofts, management, etc. But it is in a bad area.

Go with a friend for buy one get one free. It looks bad on a date.
