Comment: No one has yet reported on a robbery of a British couple on Saturday at The Strip. At least 8 local/expats saw the attack, chased the 2 thugs into the bushes, and waited 20 minutes for the cops to show up (they're 5 minutes away...). When everyone showed the cops where the criminals were, the police shrugged and said they'd rather just write up the report. Yes, the community, parents, and schools need to step up but the ineffectual and lazy police force needs to change their attitude. Reporting of crimes needs to get better too (there were 4 incidents on The Strip since last Thursday and only 1 was reported). If people really saw how bad it's getting, there'd be a lot more discussion and maybe, just maybe, action. Meanwhile, we're all just targets. |
