Contributed PhotosI've said for a while that if citizens will send me pictures of (alleged) drug deals in North Minneapolis, I will print those photos without hesitation. Recently, somebody answered my offer...
The photos came from a private citizen, however, I'm told the photos may have some "official" origins.
Well, what do I care? Here I am printing the pictures. Send me more.
Oh, and send me some photos of (alleged) hookers, too. Thank you.

Do you mean photos of alleged hookers? Or do you want the hookers themselves?
ReplyDeleteI corrected the unclear sentence. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAn even more effective tool might be to get the license plate numbers of the clients/customers, trace the plate to the owner and send them a nice letter effectively alerting them to the fact that the neighborhood knows they were in NOMI, probably doing something illegal.
ReplyDeleteThis was something that a neighbor in Jordan had started doing several years ago. I don't think it's being done any longer however.
Do you remember the "pimps are wimps" van from the Powderhorn Park neighborhood?! i think they used to drive by and talk to the johns through a megaphone.

I totally remember the john van rides in powderhorn. in fact, while i was a crime victims advocate at program against sexual violence - i went on these rides.
ReplyDeleteand actually i agree get photos of the johns and let's play a trick on the tricks.
i personally would rather not see the prostitutes posted but rather the scummy johns.
those john van rides were out in the street giving women resources or at least condomns and some kind words.
i've wondered is this something that would be nice in north. let the johns know to get the hell off our streets.
Remember: Prostitution takes two...the prostitute and the customer.
ReplyDeleteYes prostitution takes 2 but the hooker is an abused and usually drug addicted. This was done be family sexual and or violent abuse or a pimp. It is not a victim less life in many trained people's opinions. Go after the pimps and johns please.
