The link below pertains to an incident in my hometown, Pittsburgh, Penna. It was of interest to me to say the least and I asked a college friend from the area to share his insights with me. If your time permits, take a look at the article and read his authentic response. Your thoughts in response are appreciated.

"...They got that piece resolved and in my opinion the chief did what he had to do. It got those knouckleheads to give up 2 names that are now suspects. With these thugs terrorizing black neighborhoods the last message that needs to be given is “stop snitchin”. It would make the police job so much more efficient and reduce the level of mistakes that breed the distrust if more people had the common sense and the guts to speak out when they witness these types of crimes. By the way, the community is now getting a police presence at the games at no charge for the next 3 months while they look for a way to have security funded.
Unfortunately Tom, the Homewood you probably remember no longer exists. Many parts of it are more like the OK Corral."
