Hoodlums & Hooligans
I’m getting sick of the hoodlums & hooligans roaming the streets of Kenmore. The rat problem has moved from Buffalo, through Kenmore and now onto Tonawanda, so now our main problem is hoodlums & hooligans.
Last night, we were sitting around watching TV and heard a loud crash outside. I jumped up, looked out the window & couldn’t see anything – it was eerily dark on the street. So I went outside, and saw 5 hooligans quickly walking down the street laughing. I looked down the street, and saw some more neighbors walking out of their houses.
I told Laura to call the police, and informed them the hooligans were heading north on Myron. Then Kurt, one of my neighbors, made it to the corner and suggested we follow them. After a block and a half, the hooligans picked up the pace and forced me to run. BTW – I was barefoot; it hurt. Ah, but then the beautiful part of living in Kenmore appeared before my eyes – 2 police cars blocked the path of the hooligans and three of them were quickly stopped. A forth hid behind a car, “tying his shoe”, but I helped him to the police.
Looks like the Village will have some 16-year-olds helping with some community service, especially after the breathalyzer results.
I have my home, my business, and my family here – I will personally see to it that each hoodlum and/or hooligan is behind bars or on house arrest before I leave this neighborhood. If we leave, we lost; and I don’t like losing. My next stop: Tuesday the 20th at 7PM for our neighborhood watch meeting. Until then, I’ll be on my front porch.
Great job, Eric! Kids can be such a menace these days. I’m glad I live in a gated community, especially since Vegas is a high-crime rate city. Even so, you can’t control who moves into your community. A group of college kids moved into our community, and we had loud music, fighting and broken glasses from beer bottles on the streets. After neighbors’ complaints, they got a stern warning. And now we have full-time security guards patrolling the premise.

[...] As I came home, I realize that I have IHS: Incredible Hulk Syndrome. This isn’t the first time I had to chase down hoodlums. Probably won’t be the last, either. [...]
