Please stay away from Rogers Park.

Thank you.

Pretty much. The GA's are a joke, let the cops do their jobs and leave it at that. No point in trying to be a hero... by busting people smoking weed and tagging.

Any time I have seen Guardian Angels they were nothing but groups of thugs that created more problems then reducing them. But, I wont have to worry about seeing them in my neighborhood anytime soon, so not an issue

I am not talking about thug image, I am talking about being thugs. Like assulting people for refusing to answer thier questions. telling people they don't belong in different neighborhoods. Not allowing people to go into the housing complexes in which they live, because they refused to show proof they lived there, or just didnt have proof etc...

I would prefer you not standing on a corner at all. But like I said, I don't have to worry about it in my neighborhood, so really it don't make a difference.

I didn't know they took it that far. Not allowing people to enter their home because they wouldn't show proof to somebody who isn't even an official authority? I would think that would be illegal.
