"now than deary, be careful not to get any of his brains on your shirt. It'll stain"
Pretty sure the craziest thing that ever happened to me was that our house was robbed when I was like eight years old.
A robbery is not crazy, but the fact that he broke a window in the living room, came in, stole all of our valuable electronics, and got out, unnoticed, in the middle of the night while we were sleeping, is freaky.
He was in my room. He stole my SNES. There was a man in my room stealing my shit in the goddamn middle of the night. That shit still unnerves me.
I went to a friends last night and was out drinking with my buddies until about 3 AM, then woke up at his house at about 3 PM. Now I can't sleep and I need to be somewhere in less then 5 hours.

Update:
Okay, so here is what happened. Guy goes nuts, grabbed neighborhood kid, not his grandson. Police used tear gas and around midnight everything was calm and fine again.
Seriously, I knew we had cameras but I didn't realize that they were this pervasive. Nor did I realize they were being fucking staffed by any schmuck who walks in off the street.
I'm somewhere between really skeeved out and pretty pissed about this.

There was that drive by pitchforking the other day that was pretty gruesome.
i have literally zero stories about my neighborhood
well, i guess there was this one time when one of my neighbors looked at me disapprovingly for using half of his parking space to change my car tires instead of taking the car to a shop...

I heard they stuck the body in a butter churn, and then built a barn.

Yeah, I live 15 minutes outside of Lancaster. My wife works in Lancaster and I work just outside of it. We were thinking of moving into the city to save on gas. I don't want to live in one of the most heavily watched cities in the world.

It is weird that its Lancaster of all places. i mean, I understand New York, DC, London - major world cities or seats of governments. I understand Baltimore, with its crime problems - but Lancaster?

Really PA? REALLY?
I honestly don't mind them around the parks and stuff. I mean, sure, let them run to a bank of tapes that is doing recording and if something happens? Go to the video to get a "witness".
However, the part that is really bugging the hell out of me is that there are volunteers, random people from the street, who can sign up and then watch the streets live. The article makes mention of them zooming in on where they here a 911 call. It's not like these guys are really calling 911 all that much.
I live in pretty much the dead center of the city, so I'm surrounded by them I'm sure.
Time to start giving them the finger and writing lots of angry letters to people.

I get that. I honestly don't mind cameras. I know from Baltimore's experience that cameras are pretty 50/50 when it comes to "evidence" in a criminal trail. The will probably improve with technology, but still they are there primarily for psychological reasons.

They don't even need to be working cameras. Honesty through paranoia works pretty well.

I don't think I have much of a problem with the cameras (real or not) but this
No state or federal law governs use of public cameras, so Morales is drafting ethical guidelines for the coalition's 10 staffers and dozen volunteers. Training has been "informal" until now, he said, but will be stiffened.
Morales said he tries to weed out voyeurs and anyone who might use the tapes for blackmail or other illegal activity.

I like the "try to weed out" like its out of their hands. Way to go.

Exactly.
There are warning bells galore going off in my head. And yes, just putting up fake cameras will deter crime. It's the mere thought of it.
@JoeUser: Heh, it's a good thought. I figure a paintball gun would be better at reaching those that are higher up.

Yeah if someone asked me to list towns/cityies/whatever in PA that should have camera's watching everyone's every move Lancaster wouldn't be anywhere on that list.

My Sunday was swell, but some toothless middle aged drunk from Texas was following us around and we ended up having to leave at least one bar because of him. I can tolerate that shit up to a certain point, but when he's getting touchy and offers me $200 to stay at my place (i.e., rent it), I am sort of like, "Well, time to go everyone."

Yes because it is exactly like that everywhere.
And New York is full of pedophiles and rapists because of SVU. And Las Vegas is full of murderers and hot super-scientists because of CSI.
That is exactly how TV works, they don't embellish anything and everything is exactly like that at all times over every part of the city.

Chambersburg is where I end up if I accidentally forget to merge onto 476 on my way home from Scranton
its always embarrassing
