Glock block: Pistol-packing Oregon neighborhood fights crime wave

An Oregon community fed up with rising petty neighborhood crime and dissatisfied with police response has taken matters into their own hands. They’ve organized a citizens’ watchdog group – armed with Glock handguns and ready to protect their property.

Their pamphlets, posted in noticeable spots around town, states: “This is a Glock Block. We don’t call 911,” KOIN.com first reported.

The community is Jennings Lodge, located in Clackamas County. And the fliers aren’t just idle warnings.

Community members have actually pursued conceal carry permits in order to fend off the crime wave, which includes everything from stolen lawn ornaments to vandalism, the Daily Mail reported.

“We’re starting a new group,” said Clackamas County resident, Coy Toloman, in a KOIN report. “We don’t feel neighborhood watch is sufficient, and we don’t feel the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office is sufficient.”

When seconds count the police are only minutes away....having donuts.

This is great! More neighborhoods should adopt this method of protecting themselves and their property!

[Zuben Elgenubi]

There will be police drones above monitoring the situation . . .

I’ll bet this story makes liberals very sad and that makes me happy.

Liberals are sad, until they are the ones who are robbed, gang raped, or on the receiving end of "The Knockout Game". Suddenly, they start asking the question they never asked before, and are usually shocked at the answers...

Amazing how becoming a victim changes your perspective...

It’s World War Z out there. Some folks just won’t see it until it’s kicking them in the face.

Crime has increased in this area with the introduction of light rail.

Clackamas county? The original Kimbers were from there IIRC.

Happens everywhere it's implemented.

And the little thugs generally get free transit passes.

“Glock Block”...that’s perfect and memorable. I bet the bad guys pay a lot more attention to those signs than they do to “Neighborhood Block Watch” signs. I sure would!
