I was on my way out to the 200 block of Charles St this morning to get a lease signed for my new tenant, she called me on my way to inform me of the "Double Homicide" a couple of doors down. What a welcome for a New Tenant.
I arrived to Police presence and yellow tape. I listened on the front porch of my property as six young children next door discussed whether or not the bodies were still inside the house, 'Yes, they agreed, That is what they would do on CSI"..as the youngest innocently played with Action Figures, oblivious to the scene unfolding around him.
I stood and shook my head, that this is what these young kids are faced with growing up in Coatesville City. It hit me that this is the start of this viscious cycle where they become immune to Shootings, killings and murder.
Something has to change and quick. When I was finished , I drove up Charles to view the Home that was torched by the "KOD" Kids of Distruction. Then proceeded around the corner to Madison where another Tenant showed me the neighbors Shed torched by the same group, also said to be responsible for setting the fire to home on Madison that trapped the people on the second floor.
Then I drove down an alley behind one of my properties to look at the detached garage that is now tagged with "KOD" and "Crips" and "Young Thugs"...Oh yeah, this is a couple doors down from the "Double Homicide"
Chief Matthews, Think this is serious now??? Still think "jaywalking" should be the focus of the Police Force??
City Council..Time To Stop "PUTTING LIPSTICK on a PIG" and clean this City up once and for all.. It Is the GOOD PEOPLE who are suffering now!
Oh Well, So much for my afternoon in Coatesville, back to West Chester I Go..Shaking My Head and saying a few Prayers! God Knows this City Needs It!

I totally agree with John, something needs to be done. Sad that I don't trust for my 12 year old son to walk home by himself from school (which is only a few blocks away!!!) and pay someone to pick him up and drive him OUT of Coatesville after school, so that I can feel he is safe while I go out to work to pay a nice bit of taxes to the City (matter of a fact more than anywhere else!!!)

You wouldn't believe how many things are really going on, I know of a lot of things I have seen, and didn't know exactly what was going on that NEVER got reported to the public.

Something needs to be done and I'm not just talking a bunch of people sitting at a table trying to make a plan - something actually getting done about it!!!!
