  3. This site is the ONLY thing we have to keep us informed. The mainstream news wants to be "PC" and in the meantime, we don't have a clue. Not here, this is the ONLY site that gives us a heads up:)

    This article will then show up on the "Take Back Boystown" site but remember, you read it here FIRST:)

  4. I propose a community effort, a "guardian angel" type of effort where people armed with walkie-talkies and legally avaiable self-defense items (pepper spray, whistles) patrol Boystown and try to report/deter this behavior. It might not be that effective but hopefully these doofus kids would understand that somebody gives a *bleep*.
