well two poor lost souls, who caused hundreds of thousands of dollars to law abiding citizens. I bet some of you might think that this is their first time offending. lets try to help them get their lives back. maybe we can all help them. now lets hear all the idiot comments protecting them. instead lets find out what apt. they were found in and learn about the people hiding them. I watched the whole thing. resourses costing thousands of tax payer dollars.

They would only be dealing crack if they were from one of Russell's slummy apartment buildings!

Oh, you're sure it was drugs? So, you're a detective as well as a political analyst now? The list of talent you possess could fill a book, I'm sure. It's called innocent until proven guilty.

That area is drug infested! Its really sad to see so many young children in this neighborhood playing and the drug addicts/dealers are walking and living amongst them. The community needs to continue making the police aware of the drug activities going on, so they can clean out the bad guys/women.

If you would stop breeding them it would help!
Since you obviously think you are above the laws of the land!
Talking about "murder" and "genocide"!
Not handing any one of your residents the "Landlord Tenant Handbook"!
Attempting preemptive evictions upon your residents!
Maybe fix the giant hole in the floor of the bathroom on High st.! It has been a few years now!
Of course if the city was not paid off. These could become problems for you!

YOYO thanks for the complements. will consider fixing that hole in the floor. your correct, its getting costly paying off everyone. they have been good to me, they have discounted the payments while this economic crisies.

That house is the greatest house in town. Even thge Pitbulls that infest that intersection is on crack. Place looks like a scene from Harlem with people hanging clothes on the porch railing to dry, kids tossing everything thats not nailed down off the porches at people as they walk buy, 10 trash cans worth of trash squeezed into 5 or 6 makeshift trash cans on the sidewalks. A minefeild of dog droppings on the sidewalks, Yep. I can't wait to put in a aplication for a apartment there.

There's nothing wrong with hanging your clothes out to dry on a railing. Plenty of people do this, especially when running a dryer is so expensive. Don't be such an elitist.

Don,
It is funny, I just drove on Rathbun Street yesterday. There were indeed clothes hanging on the front porch of a second story apartment set out to dry. There has not been a time yet that I have driven on that street where someone just walks right out into the middle of the road while I am driving. Yesterday, it was an adult male. He stepped right out in front of my car, with no care in the world as if he owned the road. He then proceeded to stand within 3 feet of my car, in the middle of the road and yell at someone on the sidewalk for a good 3 minutes. I finally gave a quick toot of my horn because I could not go around him and he was phyically in the middle of the road. He started yelling profanities at me, etc! It is a scary street to drive on.

I failed to mention that later that night, I was driving back home at about 10 p.m. and there was what appeared to be two young children (maybe ages 3 and 5) outside playing on the sidewalk and one of them ran across the street in front of an oncoming car. Thankfully, the car slammed on their tires and they were able to stop in time. The child (who looked about 5 years old) gave the driver the finger. Do you know that not one adult came outside to see what the commotion was about! It was literally 10 o'clock at night and a young child was almost hit by a car!!!!

These children have nowhere to play. Maybe we should build a park on the corner of east school and rathburn.

Why, it would just turn into a drug dealers haven and they have already taken over Turbesi Park in Blackstone. P.S. No place to play at 10:00 at night? How about going to bed instead!

Russell,

Think about it, would you want your children playing at a park on the corner of Rathbun and East School? I don't think so. I am surprised Blackstone hasn't done anything either. There is a sign that says for residents only, but I don't think that anyone pays attention to that.

This comment is incomprehensible. What thought and/or question are you trying to convey here?!? What exactly is "v i a ing"? And, best I can tell "Suzy" was not the person who almost hit a child and only witnessed it happening.

People are allowed to drive at night, Russell. Just because some people don't run and hide once the sun goes down in Woonsocket doesn't mean they're out and about for nefarious purposes.
