Haverstock, kitty hawk apartments 15 to 20 miles north of Houston have had ambulances and police cars stolen on calls.
Get back to us when that happens. |

this shit is getting close. I live in a quiet, safe, and family oriented subdivision (Meno Falls) that is ~9 miles from this. Anyone want to help build a fence?

Quoted:
http://fox6now.com/2015/05/25/something-hit-the-ambulance-rig-struck-by-gunfire-leaves-workers-on-edge/ Milwaukee is probably only a riot away from being Baltimore. Wall it up and pull everyone out that matters. Milwaukee didn't invent white flight, they perfected it. Folks moved out of an apartment on 66th and Villard in 1972. Life would have been spectactularly different had they not. |

Kill one psych whose family has abandoned him and who decides to attempt to murder a cop with his own nightstick and suddenly everyone's upset.

Summer of 1967 got ugly for a while. Listening to the parents/aunts/uncles tell stories about being able to roll a bowling ball down normally busy streets after the cops basically told people to get the hell in their homes at curfew is a fond memory. http://milwaukeesfinest.net/1967Riots.html |

Isn't it sad to know that things like responding to strong suspicions with a task force, pre-planned responses, and the desire to put down agitators while protecting people and their property are all things of the past. |

I chuckled over this story. This is not the first time a ambulance has been hit by gun fire. It is the first time it has been reported like this. I was a EMT through out the 1990's and had a number of friends that ran ems calls in Milwaukee at the time. It happened about every other year back then. This was going on as far as I know until I quit running ems calls in 2007. I had thought about running part time on one of the ambulance companies back then but decided with 2 kids at home and the wife I really did not need the extra money or excitement they other guys were getting.

Milwaukee is a shithole, always has been. You are mistaken. It was a great, safe city when I was growing up. Good schools, family neighborhoods, owner occupied homes with pride of ownership showing, beautiful parks, great public transportation, and a lot of civil pride. 60 years of constant Democratic rule, excess welfare benefits that drew people from Illinois to our city, and the loss of our blue collar industrial base caused an expansion of the central city outward - driving most residents to the suburbs. Incidentally, being from a state that has Chicago in it... I'd be careful throwing rocks... |

Paratech is my old company and I know the two employees on the call.
We were stationed on the NW side of town. Some of our zone was an absolute fucking shithole. A few roads you would normally take to get a patient to St Joe's hospital I wouldn't even bother with on a Friday or Saturday night in the summer because more often than not the police would have them roped off for an investigation. edit: I also got to see West Lawn, the new housing project in our zone, open it. Amazing how fast a beautiful little concentration of duplexes can be turned into a steaming pile of shit... |

See, I told the city, I said "Look, nobody comes down here." Postmen figured it out. Policemen figured it out. But the goddamned bus drivers just wouldn't listen.

As long as it's certain types killing each other, fuck it. The sooner they all die, the better for the world. I doubt were gonna be missing any cancer doctors or space explorers, just aspiring rappers. WTF needs more of those.

A fellow Arfcommer worked for one of the private 9-1-1 response rigs. He refers to the interior patient compartment lamps as "sniper lights". |

i have to live close to an airport :( Thinking about RichField or West Bend I live in Walworth County. We don't get any of the problems associated with Milwaukee and it's burbs, but close enough to it that if i want to do something in town, I'm only 40 minutes away from downtown. It's really the perfect distance away. Only problem is the FIBs, but they tend to stay walled up in the resorts and not bother us. |

I hate living in the area, I'm maybe a 20 minute drive from downtown.
Milwaukee is creeping up on the list of highest crime rates in major cities in the country. In 2013 we were #10, in 2014 we were #7 and I read that so far this year we are #5. Crime is out of control, and our incompetent mayor and police chief are only making things worse. My visits are limited to a few Brewers games a year, Summerfest and a few concerts. Fuck going there for anything else. |
