Bullying bothers everyone and not just kids that are getting picked on. It can make school a place of fear instead of learning; sometimes this can lead to violence and stress for everyone. Some bullies threaten people or try to make them do things they do not want to do. I would like to share this mobile-based application for safety and protection.

Hopefully the boys in blue at the village calaboose have been listening to the same detective radio serials that I enjoy each evening....
....the "I reported my firearm stolen last week and here's the paper trail to prove it so there's no way I shot her/it/him" excuse is often used as evidence against the "stolen" gun's owner having shot a cheating spouse/defecating canine/lawn-trodding youngster, etc.

8100 Kilpatrick has a ring of familiarity to it...

You are correct Troy - 8100 Kilpatrick has been in the police blotter before. There are many multi-family dwellings in this area. The K (Knox, Kilpatrick, Kildare) streets south of Main Street and west of Koshner are trouble spots. There was a shooting in this same block on Kilpatrick not too long ago. This is why it is important to support the multi-family housing licensing program.

I do not support taxing multi-family residential property owners with this program.
Kildare is not a street with trouble or high-density housing.
