They Got The Message

Remember the 3 Jobs No Money post, where we ragged on the house with the shredded flag that was advertising 3 businesses? Looks like they got the message. Finally! I'm thinking we had something to do with that bro.

Photo taken at 11:20 AM today - Across the street from the Hialeah Police Dept.

I don't know what happened but the cop's car was smashed into the civilian's car and it looks like the hit they cement fence too. That sucks for everyone involved. The good news is, police were on the scene.

SWAT Team Dispatched to Hialeah Home

Happening NOW -- HIALEAH, Fla. (WSVN) -- Hialeah police and SWAT responded to a home after someone called 911 and then hung up. A patrol officer was sent to the scene and a distraught woman was removed from the house. Now police are trying to negotiate with a man who has a history of mental illness to get him out of the house.

When I got to the scene I heard two loud noises in a row, quite possibly gun shots and about 30 seconds later I heard another. Not sure if they were gun shots or something else but I didn't stick around to find out.

Location: East Hialeah by 41st and 5th Avenue and the sounds I heard were probably gas canisters.

Challenged in Hialeah

Today I was challenged in Hialeah (where else?), which is a good thing. I was making my rounds this morning taking some photos of some typical Hialeah houses and a neighbor flagged me down. He wanted to know why I was taking photos and let me know that he didn't feel it was right since residences are private. Noted, but, I was on the street. Technically, public property. I'm not complainin' it was nice to see a neighbor lookin' out. What if I were, like, casing houses or something?

Next time, I'll be sure to take photos in the afternoon when people aren't all up in my business right before they head out the door to work. You'd think people would be happy about their 15 minutes of fame. LOL
