So, what is going with these beatings with clubs and rocks? And a shooting?

And why does it seem like the police are shrugging their shoulders? Are they not doing more than just waiting for the next attack with the hopes of getting more information on who might be doing these things??

Seriously, I would like the cops to act like the dude on The Shield or at least comfort me by saying they’re going to take proactive steps to prevent the next attack other than just saying “we can’t be everywhere.” No, they can’t, but come on, they can do something more, can’t they? This city ain’t that big. (And no, it’s not New York. Or: Are these crimes being done so this place will seem more like New York? Because having a couple coffee shops and some art galleries is not cutting it…)

Is our local police force burned over getting in trouble for racial profiling with the rape situation?

Anybody got any ideas on what’s going on with this crime spree? Gang? Is anyone changing their behavior because of it?

I highly recommend this event for anyone interested in the often-unseen side of Charlottesville– the very large international refugee community that exists here. If you’ve seen the movie Beyond Rangoon, which is a heartbreakingly awful, great film, you know.

One of the local Burmese men has been attacked, beaten, and robbed by masked persons while riding his bicycle home from work at night on Cherry Avenue. Is it possible that there are people like that living in this “peaceful” town? Does racism and violence HAVE to seethe beneath every surface? The man comes half way around the world to escape a terrorist regime, only to be treated like this in our “free” and “civilized” society?? Pathetic.

So, I’m a vegetarian, which means that at most eating establishments in town, there’s at least one item on the menu that I can eat. Sometimes, there’s only that one option, but it’s better than no options, »Read More
