Those of us who live in ChinaTown/Northbeach know what goes on(almost daily) around here (especially on muni). And we know who the culprits are(for the most part). We know where they live. They live right here in ChinaTown/Northbeach in subsidized housing. This has been going on for along time. And it will continue to go on until we(the community) begin taking an active part in responding to the daily intimidation and rude,loud, obnoxious behavior that is all too frequent around here. As it is not a crime to be loud or rude, and intimidation is hard to prosecute, we ,as a community, must take it upon ourselves to solve this problem. If we complain, what can the police do? Nothing. (Where's your evidence?) May I suggest we help the police do something. I suggest we all take our cellphone/video cameras out and start(discreetly) documenting the behaviors we are subjected to (almost daily). Posting these people on sites like YouTube might not result in any arrests but it certainly can expose( for all to see), who is doing what,where, and to whom. Perhaps we can begin to intimidate our frustrated fellow neighbors into behaving with a little more civility. Let's put a little doubt in their minds before they begin to act-up( A doubt that maybe, just maybe, somebody might be watching(recording).
