A lot can happen in 18 months

Below is a reflection of the crime on our street and the connecting avenues in the last 18 months.

A murder took place 900 feet from our front door.  It seems a drug deal went bad in Hallandale, which is a neighboring community, and a chase ensued and it ended on the avenue at the end of our street. 

Two guys in an SUV pushed the victim’s car into a tree and then got out and riddled him with bullets from a machine gun while the people who lived in the corner house laid on the floor in their dining room as the bullets broke their front window and the tranquility of their home.


Sometime later that month the police shot a crazy neighbor 500 feet from our front door on the other corner.


The day after Judith and I saw his composite on the news, the Hollywood Rapist drove down our street and checked Judith out probably with ill thoughts until he saw all the kids and fled.  The responding Hollywood police officer confided in Judith that she is afraid to go to work.  This coming from a woman wearing a bullet-proof vest and sporting a 9mm and a taser.


In addition, our neighbor was arrested for molesting a 6 year old girl; I guess the court order forbidding him from being within 1500 feet of all children didn’t discourage her parents who entrusted him to watch their daughter.


There was a police chase that started in Fort Lauderdale one night and luck would have it, it ended in front of our house at 1 am.  We were awoken to red and blue flashing lights in our bedroom and the sound of 5 policemen with their guns drawn and their flashlights flashing outside our window.

Here we were inside of our house running around turning off all the night lights with our own flash lights in hand ready to turn them on and me with my own firearm at the ready just in case the perpetrator decides to crash though the window and take hostages … boy I watch too many cop shows.

The next day when Judith phoned the police to find out what had happened they said nothing and that they had no report on the incident. It took 20 minutes of being on hold and her questioning the woman to finally be told what had happened.  We’re starting to think they really don’t want people to know what’s really going on in our fair city.


Add to this the 2 home invasions, 2 attempted home invasions, a car break-in along with the sound of gun shots several times a months and the sound of police helicopters overhead every other month you think it can’t get worse can it?

While we were away on our vacation a known degenerate broke into our neighbor’s house while they were away, watched porn movies while in their bed, deposited his demonic seed on their sheets, defecated in their toilet without flushing and then fled to Boca Raton where at a routine traffic stop he was arrested for committing this strange crime in other people’s homes in the past.  I guess it was a hobby of his … since stamp collecting has lost its popularity.


It’s a good thing we have a big dog and we always hire a house sitter when we go away.  It’ seems our street has a black cloud over it. 

Everyone tells us there’s crime everywhere and we realize this is true but let’s pull back and take a look at the situation, say from 3 to 5 miles up to be precise.


Hollywood, Florida

I think our odds drastically improve with relocation in the safety department don’t you?
