Is what I found myself thinking at 4AM when is was rudely awakened by the piercing sound of a car alarm... "learn how to work the thing..." I mumbled, as I fell back to sleep.

Turns out, 4 cars in my apartment complex were broken into. Windows smashed, stereos stolen, dashboard destroyed and all I could say was "turn off your alram bitch."

"Turn off your alarm bitch..." What has gotten into us? Or not gotten into me? I spoke to 5 neighbors. All of them heard it, all of them had the same reaction, "let me go back to sleep."

We are so lackadaisical that, "How can it be possible that a car alarm is actually trying to serve it's intended purpose." So many of those piece of shit car alarms malfunction that nobody even turns their head anymore when one goes off, let alone at 4AM.

We have to take our head's out of our asses and become more vigilant. Like this bastard sniper... somebody knows who is. Somebody has sold him gas, somebody has served him in a restaurant, somebody has seen something. But that "someone" is too busy with their own problems to pay attention to anyone else's. Well guess what, ignorance quickly becomes everyone's problem. So wake up.

How did this all happen? Lawyers. So now people clam up when they see something for fear of retribution. God forbid you call the police on the local drug dealer... they'll murder you, your kids, burn your house down and get 2 months...

I want to live in a community where people know my business. They know what time I come home, they know with whom my children play and they know my parent's by name. Why? because I believe that "neighborhood watch" is by far more effective than home security systems and 30 minute response times.

I want my neighbors to know who my kids play with. I want them to be aware of unfamiliar faces.

I want to live in a community where people actually pick up their dog's shit. I want to live in a community where drunk drivers go to jail for 6 months and if they kill someone, life.

Be on the lookout. Be aware, be responsible. A part of me is envious of 90 year olds. Whereas they have only a few years left to endure I have 60 plus years of staring down the face of a shrinking and suffocating planet.
