We WILL Post Today

The weather is just too nice today to be tied-down posting. Look for
posts after dark. We appreciate your patience.

If you have not been out yet today, I highly recommend it. This is the
best Saturday of the year so far. If you are looking for something to
do, why not participate in uptownupdate's graffiti challenge? Grab
your digital camera and go for a walk, snap photos of graffiti, and
send them to uptownupdate@hotmail.com

While you are sending him the photos you should also congratulate him
on his recent accolades -he works hard to keep us all informed.


Defense for Posting the Photos

While the details for some of these offenders last arrest may seem
mundane to some readers, the truth is that the full story behind each
of these guys is too lengthy to explain. These guys have sheets - some
of them numbering over 40 other arrests - and these are just for the
crimes in which they were caught. We are not posting photos of people who
made a harmless bad decision that did not impact anyone.

What we are doing is simply making it easier for the good guys to
recognize the bad guys. Criminals need the protection of remaining
invisible to their prey. It is this 'cloak of invisibility' that allows
them to continue to operate in an area.

If the bad guys lose their protective cloak and become known in an
area it becomes neccessary for them to move somewhere else.

Knowledge can be a very powerful crime fighting tool. You will also
notice that this site will not editorialize on any of the facts that
we post. We simply report what has happened. We respect all of our
readers views and opinions and have not moderated any of the comments.
We are sorry that some may find portions of the content objectionable;
however, we have not posted anything that is not the truth.
