I was shocked! It was so scary there, that my wife and I got the hell right out of there. It was the most uncomfortable sickening atmosphere I jave ever experienced in Vegas. As we were walking out of the mall a big gang member fight broke out between 2 people right out in the open of the mall and the 2 cops on foot patrol sat there and watched for a few seconds and then just departed them like it was nothing. You wonder why that place is a total ARMPIT? Cops don't enforce safety and don't arrest people for assault in front of the public and then the gangs are in a comfort zone and think "He they won't do anything to me?" "I'll just continue hanging out here because they don't do anything!" and that's why you see no change and that's why the mall is what it is. Nice to know where your tax dollars are going to. Other than Vegas is great and I love it.
gotta say this sounds pretty far fetched.

a) you don't say what night, but in a later post you elude to it being friday (you tell someone to go the on a friday night to experience the 'horror')

b) this past friday was both first friday and the night of the las vegas gay pride parade (which ran up 4th st, intersecting FSE from about 8-10pm - hmmm...isn't that when this scary incident was supposed to have happened?)

c) the downtown area was full of cops due to both

d) i was downtown (FSE) on friday and saw nothing out of the ordinary w/ the exception of more open gayness than usual

e) i was downtown on sunday and the "fabulousness" was still in effect from the pride parade (gotta assume it was there saturday night as well)

f) you claim there was a big gang fight and then in the same sentence you say it was between two people (2 = big?)

now, i am not wholeheartedly dismissing your claim of being afraid....but your description of the incident sounds pretty suspect. several hundred bangers? they must have mixed in great w/ all the gay and lesbians around. the fact that you failed to even mention anything about the parade also makes your story a bit suspect

Go ahead. Try it again. You already have 5 mods with their finger on the trigger waiting for your next move.

Would the Mods please close this thread before it gets worse?

Thanks
if the Mods didn't close this when you launched your personal attacks on our resident police officer/s (and most recently your childish name calling directed at on Dyn) what makes you think they would step on this?
