north end has had a bad rep for a long time its not as bad as they say but we have the good chunk of bad apples that don't give a rats ass as a result of poor schooling and parents that sit and drink all day cause thats all they know and don't care and used the kids as free money from the gov.. and then no funding for after school programs to keep these kids outa trouble or anyone to look up to and then the schools not being able to do anything as their hands get tied and then ottowa changing the laws so the courts and law inforcements hands get tied it has been brewing for a long time... but the area had made major progress on fixing its self up but the west ends problems got cleaned up and alot of people moved and u get a shift and it got dumped on the north end compounding the problems already there again........ people are working together with the police and community centers and the city to try and make a change we can't shift the problem anymore we need to deal with it head on.. and compounding the problems we have no is the car theifs have lost the cars they steel and so they move onto other stuff though this year were still lower on the number of murders over this time last year but it still does not make up for my friend that got killed last week by the thugs on a muging spree that stabbed him
RIP Joey
