He sure wants everyone to believe he is on top of the situation these days..as far as I am concerned it is "too little, too late."
He still doesn't get the clue as to what the "real" problem is...to few officers on the streets and someone who can lead the ones that are still hanging on by a thread!
According to the article, the Burg has already had 11 drive-bys so far this year....he apparently has just come to realize "we have a serious problem!" I think he may just be beginning to feel the vise tightening around his thick head! Yet still no word from our esteemed mayor! WTF!

Wynn wants to implement a gang awarness program? Say what?
Let me break it down.

So he wants to add another R to the curriculum?
Reading, 'riting, 'rithmetic, and robbing?

YEP, seems he does...he is calling it "gang awareness and resistance!"
WHAT A CROCK! The worst part is the school superintendant is thinking about going along with it....HE hasn't got officers for the street...where the hell is he going to get an officer to teach about gangs?

I love Wynn's attitude of the ATF solving all of his problems too. I doubt very seriously that the ATF is at Wynn's beck and call. I'm sure they don't mind helping some, but lately it seems Wynn resorts to the ATF everytime he needs a problem solved. That's great that they can help, but they are not the solution. The ATF has it's own cases to worry about and can't run around getting involved in the day to day operations of every local department in the country because the administration is too inept to handle its own problems. Before long the ATF will probably start looking at their caller ID and not answering when Wynn calls...he'll be worse than a telemarketer.

Whatever... He needs to live in the area where there are now two drive bys in one week and see what he does about the nonexsistent rise in crime.
This is Bull Sh*t- He knows it, we all know it. If you think he seriously thinks this is a solution you are under a rock, a crack rock!

I don't blame the mayor for not bringing department heads before the council. He knows his friends will be out of jobs.

I may be mistaken but the people doing these driveby's are not the honor roll students in the schools. They are probably not even students, if they are juveniles they have probably dropped out of school so Wynn's classes wouldn't affect them anyways.

I'm not sure why we need this program.
I'm pretty sure all the high school students are aware of gangs.

I'm certain that the middle school and elementary schools know all about gangs. Hell, I'd venture that 10% or more have fathers that are or were gang members. Not all gang members are the ultra violent Hollywood types. Some hold regular joe jobs and do gang stuff on the side. I don't know a lot of gang members, but I do know some who aren't all bad. In fact, they're mostly good and don't really do any 'gang related' stuff. I think this 'blood in, blood out' hollywood hooplah is either a stereotype or localized to certain gang leaders in areas of the country.
Unless Wynn's going to change the attitude in the black community and knock the chip off the shoulder of the impoverished blacks, nothing's going to change. If he can do that, he'll be MY hero.

If he can do that, he'll be MY hero.Maybe he could do it in 10 years or so. Nothing is going to make an impact like what needs to be made in a short time span. Hattiesburg needs relief now.

How about implementing a program to get enough cops on the streets to arrest the gang-bangers? The school kids already know too much about gangs. Many of them are in them already, or have older brothers who are. Education is well and good, but prison serves a purpose as well.

The gang-bangers know the police force is depleted. Basically they're thumbing their collective noses at the law because they know there's not enough manpower to get them off the streets.
Requiring what's left of HPD to work without time off, creating physical, mental, and emotional fatigue, in an attempt to stop these hoodlums, is a recipe for disaster.
It may be more than a child's hand the next time. :(

the only thing is program is going to do is teach the kids how to get into one....
the only think that they need now is a guide to which gang they should join....
oh, and wynn is publishing a new book....
"how to run a really fine police dept. into the ground for dummies"

Speaking of bangers knowing the PD isdepleted - there was another shots firred in the same area 1 or 2 mornings after the shooting. Obviously no fear of getting caught near the PD.
Or anywhere else for that matter...

Personally, I don't intend to rely on HPD or any other government agency for my safety and security. My solution to gang bangers is to fight fire with fire. Show up on my doorstep with fight in your eyes, and I'll bring it right back to you, but a thousand times worse. These little bastards don't scare me one bit. I've seen 14 year-olds in Iraq that would destroy the little bangers we have here.
If he had his mind together (wynn) he would realize it is to late to teach these children when they get into school. Most children know about gangs and their activities before entering school now-a-days. If momma or daddy isn't gang related than big brother or sis already is involved. Start arresting the parents for lack of control over their children with stiff fines and parents may try to become REAL parents. Hate to sound like a psychologist but this really does start at home. The sad thing is, the parents who are negligent know what their children are doing and just don't give a dang! Many of these adults don't work so there should be no problem supervising their children after school-Children NEED supervision from PARENTS.

I can tell you exactly where most of the parents are: in jail, out of their head on drugs or ho'ing around somewhere! I have seen so many parents who just damn well didn't want to be bothered by the kids....as long as the kids were out of sight, they were out of mind! Those parents would just let the kids do whatever they wanted to keep the kids from pestering them and putting a wrench in their plans.
I have cried with and for many elderly grandparents who had just entirely too much on their plate thanks to their thug children. I know we shouldn't question the wisdom of God but sometimes I can't help wondering WHY he lets some of these thugs and ho's have children in the first place...they only want them because they use them as a meal ticket! All they want then is for someone else to take the responsibilty of raising the children but they still expect to have full use of the welfare funds that is being provided to them for the childs care.

Instead of meddling in City Hall business, Rev. Fairley could use his church to minister to and help these kids and their caregivers.

I would think that this should be the aim of Temple Baptist, Main St Methodist, Mt Carmel MB, First Presbyterian, and every other church in town. We, the fortunate, must make every effort to help the very least among us.
Main Street Methodist has Aldersgate mission that is a after school program for less fortunate kids. Mary Beard runs it and works hard to steer the kids in the right direction.

Most wouldn't do that....they run a multi-million dollar business out of those places.....
"Disneyland for Christ" (a nickname of Temple Baptist hehe) i know for a fact has over 100 Full Time with Benefits employees that sit around and play on the internet...i used to do their computer work right before they built the new campus out west, and they were just spending money left and right on crap.....amazing in my opinion. I remember setting up the computer system for the really big tv in the main church for the words for songs to come up.....thought it was a rock concert instead of church.....

Momma and Daddy just have 'um. They feel no responsibility if it becomes inconvenient for them. I couldn't do a puppy that way, much less my kids.

Wow. I went to Main St. Methodist when I lived in H'burg back in the 60's. Everybody else in my family went to Court St. Methodist. Looking forward to getting back there.
