Dear Readers,
No sightings last weekend so June finishes as my worst ever with just 6
sightings and 1 shot. My 40 sightings for the year are less than half of the 83
I had on this date last year and you know what? Heading into July and August,
my top 2 sightings months of the year, it's now likely they will produce record
low totals too. What the hell has happened so suddenly?
You remember last
weekend I wrote the busy part of the area was suddenly a war zone, with cops in
riot gear on every corner and streets closed off to cars. Turns out the reason
was the Saturday night before a group of young black gang-banger types started
randomly assaulting people on the busy block around 1:30 a.m. Sources say this
was a gang initiation ritual, the group was about 11 young black males who took
turns videotaping each other attacking people. It was witnessed by lots of
people, off-duty cops working security at the bars broke up the fights and
confiscated the videocamera as the assailants ran away. 6 of the group members'
pictures were shown on TV and newspapers to try and identify them, amazingly
none of the victims of these attacks have filed police reports. I was 3 blocks
south of there by the RTD station at the time, unaware of this. Nobody acted
like anything unusual was happening, people weren't crowding around that area
any more than usual. When I walked by there later before heading to my car to
leave there were a few more police cars there than usual, but nothing looked out
of the ordinary as most of the people were gone like they usually are at that
time.
Then came last weekend and the riot coverage. The police chief has
assigned 50 additional cops to the area as part of a new "zero-tolerance policy"
for problems in the area, determining all of a sudden they have to keep it from
becoming a crime-ridden problem area. Because of the high concentration of
people going to bars there, the police chief thinks more cops need to be in the
area to arrest people for "any and all violations." 40 people were arrested last
Saturday night, most for things like failing to leave the area when cops told
them to.
The coverage wasn't quite so intense this weekend as all but 1
street in the busy area was open to traffic and cops weren't wearing riot gear
(but it was in their cars). The area of coverage was expanded a few blocks to
the RTD station block, with police cars sitting in corners of parking lots and
on sidewalks on every block. The police helicopter again flew around shining
it's spotlight throughout the area at closing time, but not as much as last
weekend. Of course it killed any sightings possibilities, ladies wouldn't risk
trying to pee anywhere in the area. The police chief says this kind of coverage
will remain in the area on weekends "for the foreseeable future."
For
years the police have wanted fewer bars in the sightings area and now this is
their chance to make everyone going there miserable to get their wish.
Complaints are already piling up from some of the bar owners, who say the
unnecessary police presence is chasing away their customers. Some say they make
as much as 40% of their weekly revenue from Friday and Saturday nights and with
what they've invested in their businesses they don't want cops chasing away
their customers. Add to that the city's budget crunch, where they certainly
can't afford to keep 50 additional cops in the sightings area every weekend just
to arrest a few people for things like not leaving when cops tell them to and
hopefully this won't go on too much longer. The police chief is determined to
use the incident to make a statement and while the well-heeled business owners
want a police presence, they don't want them scaring off their business and
profits. In mid-July is the annual outdoor summer music festival in the area for
1 weekend, such overblown police coverage would probably kill that event - which
I know promoters wouldn't stand for. We'll find out very soon which way this is
going to go, I'd bet cops will want to continue it at least through the summer -
and if that happens I can kiss my July and August sightings goodbye ... and things
could get even worse next year, thanks to a proposed new law here that would
expand public nuisance laws. This proposal would expand the law to include
indecent exposure and sexual assault and allow the city to confiscate property
used in committing these offences for up to 1 year and permanently if there is
a conviction. Basically it would mean tougher enforcement to stop public peeing
and I could get my camera confiscated for 1 year if caught snapping shots of
peeing ladies. There are discussions about if this is feasible because of the
increased costs of enforcement and prosecution for the new offences and the
ACLU has questions about people's rights and the confiscation of property part.
I'll certainly follow the progress of this one.
July preview: I'll end
with this as I do every month, but it may not be so relevant this year. July is
my top sightings month in both sightings and pictures, with 273 sightings and 37
shots for averages of 24.8 sightings and 3.6 shots. Bests for the month are 37
sightings and 10 shots, worst are 15 sightings and no shots. Last year in July
I had 22 sightings and no shots, July 2002 was the last time I got any shots as
the month has been in a major picture slump despite lots of sightings. But
amazingly it still has the most overall shots, as in 2002 I snapped 5 shots that
July. I expect record low totals this month because of the excessive police
coverage, if it's called off I have a chance at near normal numbers. But if it
isn't I will have a decision to make about how worthwhile it is to continue
coming to the area for sightings, things are really going to be that
bad!
Sorry the news is so bad this week!
