 > On Jan 5th, Dennis Kyne from Northside posted a message in Crime & Safety: 
 >     This evening, Sunday, I was walking back from Camera 12 up 5th by
 >     the parking garage and the le Petit Trianon theatre and out from
 >     behind a pole comes a kid who knew the area very well. He asked me
 >     for money, stalked me across 5th, told me his friends were up on
 >     the corner.  It was enough to make me seek shelter in the theatre.
 >     He was able to track me as I walked through the theatre, as they
 >     were hosting an event, out the back door and onto 4th.  He was
 >     there waiting for me by the elementary school.  I have walked down
 >     the street for twenty years and this is as fearful as I have ever
 >     been. The boldness and brashness of this person to do this while a
 >     major function was going on at the theatre was a totally new
 >     experience for me downtown.  Does anyone know what is happening in
 >     that area Near Townsend Automotive?

 >     Ana Cisneros from Northside:
 >         That should've been a 311 call at the very least
 > 
 >     Hannelore McCrumb from Horace Mann:
 >         I am sorry this happened to you, Dennis. Are you OK now? This
 >         is good to know. Thanks for sharing. Have you had a chance to
 >         alert the police? Let's hope this was an isolated, albeit
 >         unsetteling incident. Have a good night! Hannelore at 11th.

 >     Ramona Lopez from Northside:
 >         So sorry to hear..I agree the police should have been called.
 >         Glad you made it home safe

 >     Dennis Kyne from Northside:
 >         I agree a 311 call should have Been made.  But I spend so much
 >         time on foot that I am actually afraid that I was recognized
 >         and will be retaliated against.  So I basically decided to
 >         run.
 > 
 >     Ramona Lopez from Northside:
 >         That's understandable to a point. He now knows you are afraid
 >         and may try to intimidate you even further..let's hope not!
 >         May I suggest an alternate route at least for a while?

 >     Dennis Kyne from Northside:
 >         What I am interested in is knowing what is going on around the
 >         Townsend automotive area?   Does anyone see similar activity?

 >     Sam Liccardo from Northside:
 >         Dennis, could you please do me a favor and report this to the
 >         police?  If not, I'll call Capt. Ciaburro, but they have to
 >         know that this guy is out there... my email:

 >     Chuck Taylor from Northside:
 >         I have been accosted in the past (a couple of years ago) by
 >         what was pretty obviously a mentally unblanced man in front of
 >         the La Petite Trianon. He was yelling at a group of us
 >         incoherently and we just ignored him. 
 >         
 >         I believe - but not completely sure - the area has a number of
 >         halfway houses for those with mental and previous legal
 >         problems. I think there is one of these homes right on the
 >         corner across from Townsend Automotive. Recently, I noticed
 >         large groups of young men hanging out on the corner adjacent
 >         to Townsend. This "gathering" is a new development and has not
 >         been the usual case in my 15 years downtown. Perhaps city or
 >         county services should do an audit of these institutions in
 >         this area. 
 >         
 >         Also, I recently witnessed an aggressive disheveled man at the
 >         Grocery Outlet parking lot. Caucasian, bearded, in his late
 >         thirties to early forties perhaps. When told "no" by someone
 >         he asked money from he began yelling and jumping up and down
 >         on the person's car bumper. As you know, Grocery Outlet is
 >         right next door to City Hall and therefor very close to La
 >         Petite Trianon.

 >     Barbara Grover from Horace Mann:
 >         So sorry this happened Dennis. I am glad that you have made us
 >         aware of this and that Sam has responded.

 >     Barbara Grover from Horace Mann:
 >         My husband Dana saw 3 thuggish looking young men at 9:20 a.m.
 >         today at corner of Fifth and St.john. Dana was in his car and
 >         as he drove through the intersection they crossed the street
 >         and seemed to be heading toward the apartment directly behind
 >         the big yellow house on NE corner of 5th and St.John. Dressed
 >         in dark clothing, baggy pants. This is a different element
 >         than we have seen from the mentally ill housed on 5th Street.
 > 
 >     Dennis Kyne from Northside:
 >         Thank you Sam. I tried the non emergency line and all
 >         dispatchers are busy.  Please contact the captain and let him
 >         know.  The young man was in a gray hoody pulled over his head.
 >         He was about 5-6 and Definitely knew the neighborhood.  There
 >         was a recital going on at the theatre so I walked through and
 >         went out the back door and he knew where to wait for me.  This
 >         is a new element Barbara but I have heard Eddie Gale mention
 >         something is going on in that area from some of the meetings
 >         he attends.
 > 
 >     Jennifer Ceynowa from Modern Ice:
 >         This is the perfect example to call the police. I would have
 >         started with 9-1-1 however, not 3-1-1, if  you were in fear of
 >         being assaulted or being strong armed robbed. If they
 >         reaaaallly feel nothing is going to happen to you, the
 >         liability is on them if they transfer you to 3-1-1 afterwards.
 >         Your safety is more important than anything...call for help.
