Arrival of a New Breed of Tacoma Crime Fighters Via U Tube

In the last couple of years, we have seen a number of people and organizations trying to get a handle on crime on their area downtown and on Hilltop.

Here are more urban...shall we call them pioneers trying to get a handle of "alledged" crime in their neighborhoods through videotaping, the internet and U Tube. They are interesting. Make up your own mind as to the activities videotaped. Some show more than others.  (Let's not jump to conclusion about the acitivities.  However, I did not know so many people were tobacco pipe smokers in Tacoma or that Pepsi made an oversize can.)

What does it all mean? I think its a good sign that Tacomans are trying to reclaim areas of the city which have been neglected for decades and considered useful for little more than for Department of Corrections placements.
