Bum's, Creeps, Homeless in front of Stores

I have lived on the east side of the valley for over 26 years and i can't remember a time when i was disgusted to go to the local stores around here. Over the years i've watch the area slowly decay, infiltrated with homeless people who are nasty and disgusting, rude, and thieves. But yet our small neighborhood has managed to keep most of the crap out. You can actually pull in to the property and forget whats going on out their. We used to be nick named the oasis by metro because the amount of calls to the property were minimal. Something like 3 calls in 5 years. It's gone up since then but yet nothing dramatic.

I know many people on the radio are retired law enforcement and a good number are active law enforcement. So with that said i am well aware of the challenges that face the police in this valley. My hat's off to law enforcement here you men and women have a set of brass balls bigger than anything i've ever seen. Just the notion of trying to combat the evil in this valley is so overwhelming to me i wouldn't want to be a cop here for all the tea in china.

When i hear the other side of everything, the people who have been arrested or just out of jail etc., and they claim metro screwed them or used unsavery ways to arrest them, i ask...... well why were you in that position in the first place that you had to have a confrontation with the police? Think about this a bit. Had you not put yourself in a position that was questionable you would not have had to experience the hospitality of the police. Notice i say "YOU" quite often. It's because the cops don't just drive around and mess with people who aren't doing anything for shits and giggles.

So to those of you who hang out in front of the 7/11's, gas stations, and parking lots of casinos constantly begging for money, go get a life asshole. I am sick and tired of going to a business and eveytime i get out of my vehicle i am approached by some dope head, drunk, or creep that askes me for a buck or can you spare any change?

Unfortunately for those business's that allow this to continue in front of their stores i choose to go to a store where the freaks are not out front. I've often thought why the hell doesn't metro do something about this....? Well in further thought i have to see police dept's. view too. They don't have time for dealing with these creeps, because they are dealing with home invasions, shootings, muggings, stabbings and the like. My god what has las vegas turned into?

So to all the business owners out there [I used to be one of them] get off your lazy ass and do something about the issue of these creeps on your private property. Don't be so damn cheap and hire a good security gaurd to deal with it or just use the plain old fashion way of throwing them off your property yourself. Don't tell me you don't have 5 or 10 buddies that you can round up and show these creeps their not wanted. Until someone does something i'll continue to go out of my way to business that don't allow this shit to continue. How can you sit there and do nothing? You need to grow a set of balls and protect your investment and your families future from these people.
