The attacks in the comments

We have read the attacks. There are attempts being made to scare our staff out of the blog writing business. The biggest fear to those who are running the show (politicians, bosses, reverends, media, etc) are people waking up to the man/woman behind the curtain and seeing the lies that we are being told by them. Those in power do not want you to see the truth. Those in power do not want you to talk to one another. Those in power do not want you to exchange stories, personal observations or ideas because then you may get the idea that those in power really are not doing a good job and have been lying to you. They fear they will lose that power over you and it scares the shit out of them. Those in power need to realize that they have power because we give it to them, not because they were blessed with it.

We believe that the people in Mt. Greenwood know the score of the game. We believe that we as a community have sat on the bench for far too long and watched our neighborhood slowly get invaded by individuals that just want to prey on the good that exists here. Our community has seen other neighborhoods in the city fall by the wayside and get destroyed. We are done watching the game. We are done being pushed around from one neighborhood to another because the ghettos are jealous of our success. It is time to stop feeling guilty for having success, having family, having homes, having money, having jobs.

This blog helps us to fight back. We are not scared. We will not run. We have not done anything wrong. We believe that what we are doing is right. We are giving a voice to our community the best way we know how. If someone sees something bad going on at a car wash, a grocery store, a neighbor's front yard, then we want to hear about it. If you don't say anything, then no one else will know what is going on. Keep you in the dark. The 'nothing to see here' attitude will not stop the criminal element. It will only embolden them to continue their attack.

No, we are not going away. We are not stopping. We are not afraid of a lawsuit because we can just as easily countersue anyone who wants to shut us up. We really are not into litigation, we just want to exist to help our community, but if someone attacks, we fight back. If you the reader do not agree with what you read on this site, you can do 2 things, either offer an opposing viewpoint in the comments which we generally post or stop reading the site. No one forces anyone to read this blog. Start your own blog or go read the Beverly Review. Continue believing what you want to believe, we do not care. We will not silence you and we would not threaten you either.

obama voters and Beverly liberals suck. Beverly would be the first neighborhood to fly an obamma flag over the Stars and Stripes if there was one.

BR and 19th Ward office are just trying to back you off the base. This intimidation crap will blow over. Keep the blog rollng and it will eventually develop into what it is meant to be.

Politicians are mired so deep in the corruption and so dependent on what they have created that they cannot see what is right in front of them, and that is, that government as we know it is collapsing, a new day is dawning, and the internet will create the transparency they all claim they believe in but don't demonstrate or provide.

@3:15 AM,
Yes I heard the same, that they were moving in at 1 am. There is a fireman that rents out that house. He obviously doesnt care who he rents to because he lives somewhere else. I live around there and I havent seen any activity in or out of the house.

On another note, I will be running for committeeman of the 19th Ward this coming election. I think everyone that reads this blog should go check out the past 3 years of how Rugai & O'shea have spent the Aldermanic Expense Menu.

Look from 2007, 2008, & 2009. They havent posted the expesne menu from 2010 yet. The Alderman is given approximately 1.3 million a year to appropriate the way they want to spend it in their ward. Look how much Mt. Greenwood has been given over the last 3 years compared to Beverly. It is appauling that this has continued for so long. Rugai, out of 1.3 million gives only 50,000$ out of 1.3 million to rebuild Mt. Greenwood playlot ? That is an absolute embarassement. I donated 50$ to the women who were collecting for the rebuilding of the park, and thats all Rugai could come up with ?

Oh, and I guess my 50$ was to make sure that the people that dont live in our neighborhood get to throw there bar-bee q's and drink in the playlot like last Sat. June 19th. Im sure most of you will get the opportunity to meet me as I introduce myself this upcoming election cycle. I believe in even distribution when it pertains to the ward being gentrified. I cannot continue to turn my head the other way while we are being taken advantage of. It is a shame that it has come to this because O'shea and Rugai are very nice people but just arent doing enough.

Love it! Keep up the good work MGP. For the anonymous potential committeeman, post your name. If you're for real, stand and be counted. If you're already afraid of repercussions by outing yourself as a potential nominee, you'll most likely be as ineffective as everyone else. Good luck just the same.
