3 armed robberies reported across the city

How's that operation GRIP working for you? Maybe you should ask these three victims. Maybe we could use a little "Operation Sherrif Joe".

Well , it is the end of the month and the much needed medication has run out days ago . Low cash supplies carried by prospective donors are not providing the desired funds . Their stipends have not yet arrived and the need is great . Crack Cocaine the nectar of the subculture will be flowing once again when the monies arrive . Once medicated their functionality and creativity and will resume .

CRACK CULTURE . . ..

The cops can't do it alone

Time to close off the Hood and let them police their self's . Then the taxpayer's police can do their job were it is appreciated.

New to all of this but, i hear on the news that v-grip pulls over many cars for traffic and maybe they find a gun or two. (42 guns confiscated.) But I think they tend to pick on the small time offenders. They should be more interested in gangs and violence in youngstown, not the guy driving down the road who maybe has a gun or a warrant, Get real v-grip.

USA1 I have no plans to return to the subculture as they call it. I was there, been clean some 20 years now. Very proud of this accomplishment. I have seen things no one wants to see. I would never put up with a lowlife threatening my family. Shoot first ask later. just kidding. Well maybe not!!!!!!!! Because I was not brought up tolerating such behavior only helped me to escape my addictions and all the violence that goes with it. I had to get out

How can you say VGRIP is not successful? 42 illegal guns off the street is a huge deal. They do have an interest in gangs and violence, who do you think is driving around with illegal guns? And who has warrants?...CRIMINALS. Good job YPD. Should pull over vehicles in high crime areas that have ANY violation and check them out. Gets alot of bad people off of the street.

Get a clue,..

The police force can only do so much and they're not to be blamed here. However, same can't be said about the alleged prosecutors and Judges.

To include where not to advocate violence the only thing thieves and robbers understand. Is defiant and deliberate opposition and the kind that makes it a decisive one way ordeal.

For clarity the Jackals that prey on other people have to handled in the age old manner of reverse methodology.

That leaves them serving such a grim fate they'll not ever barter their worthless time for another victims possessions before a Judge nor Jury ever again.

Just like they stalk people have to learn to hunt. Where when the stalker becomes the hunted it bears profound effects and results as a deterrent.

When they start hearing and witnessing the stakes and fate being raised. Even the most senseless savage finds favor and benefit in displaying a profound degree of new found respect,.. or die trying to defy it.

Where I don't have exact numbers but believe it or not acts like those are being committed by a minuscule number of the populous.

For which they're the same repetitive ones that continues to strike because because they''ve not met grim fate yet.

The thing is when they get away with it. The practice becomes their MO and or claim to fame as so to speak. Where when a weak minded onlooker see's the something for nothing grab. They too falter to trying their hand at it and then you've got another one to deal with.

See Jail doesn't deter them it only suspends their activity and probation is a rewarding game to them. Although when the contemplating onlooker[s] starts hearing of their buddies deaths and or incapacitation[s] as a result.

The numbers of those willing to risk their lives over someone else's property plummets. Those roles drop faster than any other enterprises stock value in being such a commodity with such a short shelf life.

@Senseless-Sh_t

You're nuts,..

It's apparent you're never tracked a fugitive, cased a suspect, cracked a case nor broken a crime ring in your entire damn life.

See where honest people generally keep a single domicile fugitives and criminals have whats known as everything from drops, crash pads, dips and an assortment of other coined names.

They're mobile not because they want to be they're mobile because they HAVE to be. Dope houses don't run activity all day and they have whats known as stash / dispense houses as well as work houses,.. i.e. the sling zone.

Sure you centralize a marked and unmarked patrol in troubled area's but you don't waste damn time on thinking a repetitive criminal is going to work one area elusively.

The way you crack down on who's pulling strings are start stopping some of those " Wanders ". That's diced up as a pants sagging or book bag toting vagabond that even a good bath wouldn't clean up.

Where uniformed patrol observes the subject and inquires about anything from the weather to hows things going,..

That's to include observing those with a penchant for " fancy " showcase vehicles. Where besides asking for license and reg, you do your homework on who the owner is and do homework on how they paid for it.

To include making unannounced visits to known personnel with criminal records. Which not only may you find drugs, weapons or stolen property.

But it also keep's the priors uncomfortable about not just not doing anything criminal themselves. But it hampers their interest to even being around anybody doing anything criminal.

To include when you lock minors of criminal conduct up in JJC. You remote their dumb @##'s to the furthest locality possible to make access and contact as difficult as possible.

The key to combating crime is to severe the head from the body. But it does no damn good if you aren't consistent, smart, assertive and genuine in how you effectively do it.

Also don't you ever believe for a second that convicts won't or don't flip. Where when you lock them up you press them all. But when you catch one / some with major offense time. You max that bail, read them pending time and act on the sheet music that the jail bird will damn sure start singing for you.

See fact is a number of the criminal operations that's operating in towns like Youngstown. Are committed by those doing the leg work for their handlers whom own judges, prosecutors and the like.

"Get a clue,..

I think you might need to get a clue.
You have three Federal agents show up in town and all of a sudden they are able to do patrols that net over forty plus guns in less then one month. I have to ask you one question, why do we have to have three Federal agents come to town and hold Police Chief Jimmy Hughes' hand to get him to do his job? Is he that clueless (his civil service test results might suggest that) that he has to have someone to show him HOW to do HIS job. What about the other 11 months of the year, why is it not 40 plus guns each and every month, if that was the case you can be assured that Youngstown would be just as safe as say a Canfield or Poland Village.
VGRIP is a joke, dont get me wrong it is doing great things but the fact that the Federal Government has to come to town and do that which is the local Government's job is the punchline part of the joke.Why is it WE are not able to do these things OURSELVES.Instead we have to have Uncle Sam come to town and hold our hands to make sure the job is done. We as a community are a laughingstock when we can't even do simple patrols and stops. Jimmy Hughes is the lead jester in this ongoing JOKE.

See here Dogwood

First off you don't know how many imminent / potential crimes VGRIP has averted. That is before those crimes were committed. By enhanced enforcement presence and interception of those weapons.

You're irrationally expecting a police state that's not caused for nor likely to happen. These crimes could have very well been carried out by a gaggle of 3 or 4 of the same individuals.

Federal enforcement has visited the area again for a damn good reason. Where apparently you're not aware that what's postured as local government has been infested by criminals again.

Don't think what plays out on the streets in a given community doesn't have ties to the henchmen playing gate keepers in that areas gallery of local officials.

It's evident that you don't know a damn thing about how it goes. You're so outlandish and off the mark that it's evident you think Jimmy Hughes is holding out on waving some magic wand as a local Police chief.

By your analogy a police chief is to be held accountable for every local native or migrating petty criminal punk that takes a notion to trying their hand at mayhem,.. WHAT-A-LAUGH YOU ARE !!!

HA HA HA HA HA HA

And don't forget to take your MED's today.

The truth is that the idiots who commit these crimes are the same ones who spent their time in school being disruptive, uncooperative and lazy. Their teachers could have given you the list of their names 5-10 years ago. Their mothers were young teenagers when they were born and probably were using drugs. Many are retarded, emotionally disturbed or learning impaired. They were neglected by their mother and abused by their many siblings and neighborhood thugs. Their reading level and grasp of the world remains at a mid grade school level. Their family and community have taught them to hate the larger society because it is oppressing them. They think they are innocent victims who are entitled to take what they want. A life of violent crime is what they have been preparing for all their lives. Their families and community members wring their hands but do nothing to divert them. They progressed from harassing their teachers to robbing their neighbors. There are no surprises here and Stan has`given you the lyrics although we don't know the melody. We believe in this valley
