Today will be a day that will sit with my gut for quite some time...
Today, I woke up....got dressed....watched 2 episodes of an old TV show and I got ready for a 4 hour work shift...which went by quickly...
I got home at dark...excited that my family and I were goin' to Thunder Valley Casino.
Then my sister went outside to grab valentine gifts from my car and she comes back screaming "call 911, call 911!"
I went outside and a fight had broken out amongst some of my hispanic neighbors that lived 8 houses down.
I called 911....and reported the crimes...most of the neighborhood was out just watching....two other neighbors also called 911...
1 man threw children, punched and shoved women and beat one guy so bad that he had to go to the hospital...
1 thing that bothered me more than the fighting was the fact that the Caucasians on the street were just watching and talking amongst themselves and joking about it...
THERE WAS NOTHING TO JOKE ABOUT. (I've got new next door neighbors who will probably move out....they have small children)
For the last couple of years I had been telling people that I lived in the bad part of Lincoln. They said "There is no such thing as 'the bad part of Lincoln'."
1st street, between "O" Street and Joiner is a collection of apartments...fights and gangs do all sorts of crap there...the area is now just getting bigger. Now it's "R" street between 3rd and 1st and "O" Street to "Joiner"...
Father God, protect those that live in this area of Lincoln and those near that area of Lincoln. In Jesus name. Amen
