		<description>Thanks, Gawder-
Former Marine, retired National Guard, former private investigator &amp; PI.  Have studied martial arts, including Krav Maga and, yes, my first action, if possible, is to call the police.  
And, yes, usually have a force multiplier.  :)

Best-

		<description>To &quot;southneighbor&quot; Thanks for speaking your mind in the news at 11pm if that was you. I live very close to these people myself and i can&#039;t stand those people not one bit. Dirty ass people. Hope we can now see a bit of peace around here for awhile. I know all about the coming and goings and the car alarm going off and on all night long most nights lately. That bust came at no surprise to me at all. The Seattle cops just so you know were visiting those people at least once or twice a week at all hours.

Thanks for speaking your mind on 7 at 11pm last night:)</description>

		<description>I just heard that Bellevue PD is investigated at another West Seattle home on 35th today.  Tracy is on the hunt for info.

@David: As an Ex-Army MP it can be difficult to turn off that switch as a civilian, but I don&#039;t have to tell you that your fist order as a citizen is to get home safe to your family.  I&#039;m not judging you in anyway for your heroic actions; just hope you had some form of force multiplier just in case. =) Observe and report and intervene as a last resort, but again I&#039;m sure you made the right decisions in the above physical actions.</description>

		<description>Hey, QQMan-

1-  I stopped a man sexually harassing a woman on 16th SW, last year, by physically imposing myself between him and his victim.
2-  I intervened several months ago, in front of Renton Western Wear, and physically defended an elderly man who was being beaten.
3-  I&#039;ve approached my neighbors about beginning a Neighborhood Watch program.  Not much interest, so that&#039;s not going anywhere.
4-  I chased down a van and got the license plate number, when I saw the driver following my neighbor&#039;s daughter.
5-  I&#039;ve gone into an empty house in my neighborhood and cleaned out the hypodermics, as well as calling police when I see people going in there.
6-  I frequently call police on suspicious activity, primarily on the customers of the drug-dealer down the street.  They&#039;re the ones who leave the needles in the empty house.  See #4.
7-  Because I work nights, I&#039;m often on the streets very late, and I call the police whenever I see someone driving impaired.

Is there another anything else you&#039;d like to know?
Is there something else you think I should do?
Do you think I should cruising the streets, a&#039;al George Zimmerman?

So, tell me- 
What do YOU do about the criminals among us, Superman?</description>

		<description>The SWAT flash-bang (x2) was LOUD this morning. I nearly jumped right out of bed; it sounded like a bomb. A lot of neighbors have had problems with &quot;missing&quot; mail and have found crumpled mail from blocks away in our trash and recycling bins.</description>

		<description>Yup, figured there would be others. 7 has also shared with us a photo we couldn&#039;t get since we weren&#039;t running out to Bellevue today - some evidence. Adding it to the story.</description>

		<description>&quot;Person,&quot; just fwiw, the 15-year-old arrestee is mentioned in our story; if the &quot;news crew&quot; that was there earlier this morning is TV, they found out by reading us (and have already asked permission to use our photo). That aside, we also have more info from Bellevue PD that I will be adding in a few minutes. Thanks for the additional observations. I&#039;ll have to look into the archives and see if we have covered anything in that vicinity before - Tracy</description>

		<description>Found out from talking to a guy with the news that some 15 year old girl was arrested outta there for ID and Mail theft.

This house is a trash house for sure and always has many people coming and going night after night. Every now and then it&#039;s a quiet night outta there but more often then not people coming and going from 10pm-5am nightly.

Car alarms going off people in and out all night. I know for sure it&#039;s bad but didn&#039;t want to say much or be seen much in the news. Infact they just took a stolen car outta there within the last 2months. Sad thing is all these people will be back to business as usual here in the next few days just like when they got taken to jail for the stolen car a couple months ago and we did see at the time about 4 or 5 guys get hauled away in police cars but a few days later same old things going on again.

These people throw trash in the street all the time we are always picking up after these neighbors. Talk about just trashy low life people!!! 

For the most part the other people within a few houses of these people seem decent and just want a safe place to live with their family and kids.</description>

		<description>David, yes.  My guess is the criminals targeted some high profile individuals and ended up getting a hefty response from somebody who&#039;s influential.</description>
