Props to Newark Councilman K.Vonck on laying down the knowledge this week.
Answering questions on the city of Newark's (DE) zero-tolerance crack down on off campus partying he stated: "Host's should be given the opportunity to disperse the party and get it under control so that Newark cops can focus on more serious issues" Seriously, Newark has been straying far away from logic in some of their police activities. They will ticket you for riding your bicycle on the sidewalk. If they actually put a bike lane down Main St. then you wouldn't have that problem. Prevention, it does a lot more than enforcement, everytime.
OH, question, is there still Critical Mass rides down Main St.? I need to do the one in Philly I've heard about them, but not seen them. Anyone know anything drop me a line.
Since living in Philly my perspective of Law Enforcement has changed drastically. I'm glad cops don't stop bicyclists from running stop signs and red lights and silly things like that. If the person wants to take the risk, let them. They aren't endangering others...now when there are shootings every day and at least a person dying a day from guns in this city, you have a BIG problem.
Law enforcement to me are professionals who are NOT supposed to be baby sitters. The town of Newark must feel they must act as baby sitters. Talking about a high paid sitting job.
Time to go for a run boys and girls before the cold comes.
ride on,

Thanks for the shout out. All citizens in Newark need their police force to maximize the time they focus on serious crimes. Tell the students to shut down their party and move on. We need our officers on the street showing "zero tolerance" for assaults, rapes, and muggings.
