A great question posted on face book today by talk of the town host.
Talk of the Town with Tracy Lundeen
Is it time for local law enforcement to crack down on suspected gang members and peol. e that have come here solely to participate in criminal activities similar to the manner in which they did with the recent Hells Angels visit? Three murders in one ...summer? Contrary to what you want to think or say....."this isn't the Duluth I grew up in"
My reply below:
If you read the DNT they try to tell us that there is not a crime problem. Not only that they tell us that they are people not from out town, they are Duluth citizens. I don’t buy it.
When you read the story they are always or at least almost always not from Duluth. They have moved here from bigger cities all of which have big gang troubles.
Is it time to scare the entire public and hurt business like the cops did during the hells angles visit no. It is time to crack down on land lords that allow these people to move in to there houses. It is time the Government understands we have a problem and they allow the cops the tools needed to fight this type of enemy.
Then a comment was made that the DNT needs to revisit the idea of crime. Again my reply to that is below:
The DNT does need to revisit it however they won't and if they do it will the same old story. Why? It is the line the local Government wants them to hold. The Mayor and other left of center politicians don't want to lo ok bad to any one.
Those of us that speak up against the crime however don't count to the local government.
What are your thoughts?

John, I think you would have to be naive to think there isn't a crime problem in Duluth.
However, I really hate it when I hear what sounds like provincialism to me -- that people who were not born here don't belong here.
Most of Duluth's neighborhoods are very safe, but there are notable exceptions.
John, I am sure we could dive deeper into this, but I will leave it there for now.
Subdude I know we can dive deeper in to the issue. I am hoping to get a post up today but not sure I will beable to. I am busy today if not today soon I hope.
I agree with I am fine with people that move to Duluth. As long as they as do not going to harm our town. Drug deaalers, murders, and gang members not good for our city or any ones.
I once though as you do that most neighborhoods were safe. Now I see that changing.
