For what it's worth, there was no call dispatched over the air for this incident, which *could* mean the victim went to the police station and reported the crime at the front desk, as sometimes happens when the two parties --victim and assailant-- know each other, such as if they were neighbors.
I recognize mine is pure conjecture, but were the assailant a young tough roaming the streets and criming, rather than spooled up neighbors beefing about trash cans or parking in front of a driveway, I imagine 911 would have been dialed and police dispatched to the scene --"Help!! A stranger just punched me in the face!" My review of radio traffic from the time confirms no unites were dispatched to the area anywhere near the time of this assault.
Make of it what you will. In either case, civility was another victim.
Great intuition! Sounds entirely plausible.
Was the victim named James Fenimore Cooper?
Dear anonymous
Is everything you say just conjecture. Are you like a newspaper reporter these days.
Dear anonymous 2:51,
To whom are you addressing your remarks? Each of the comments, including yours, is labeled “Anonymous.” If you are directing your comments to me and my remarks at 6:14, I think I can answer your questions.
Current —as well as *past*— county police and fire radio transmissions can be monitored online. I leave it to you to discover the site that allows this, but I assure you, the technology is free and accessible to any who are interested in listening.
I think I was fairly clear and “transparent” that the suggestion about what might have happened was, unlike the verifiable lack of radio transmissions, pure guesswork that offers one possible scenario. It was offered because my first reaction upon seeing the headline for this post was, “Oh [redacted!] punks are assaulting homeowners!!” Offering what facts I could find —the absence of any dispatched police— suggests the *possibility* that something less dire, less barabarians-at-the-gates *may* have been the case. I am fairly certain that suppositional aspect of my comment was fairly clearly identified as not fact, but theory. I apologize if any have found this to be ambiguous or confusing.
Not "that" guy, but just give us a link to that mysterious scanning website. I have an old Uniden© scanner from my old auto racing days but since the big switchover I didn't think it was possible to listen to the PoPo, Fire or Marine transmissions. The scanner still works but I'd like to sit around all night (like you apparently do?) and monitor activity just for grins. Tell us the site and no, I don't want to download another App nor agree to a CVS type receipt length of a EULA. #ThanksInAdvance
@4:00 Those are too many words for 2:51. Troll's gonna troll. Their post didn't make any sense, and they're not gonna try harder to make sense. They shot off a nonsense post after a day-drink. Don't expect a coherent response.
Dear Anonymous 2:51, are you stupid enough to address 'anonymous' when you yourself posted anonymously? Are you that stupid or are you doing ironic performance art?
Is everything you say stupid? Are you like a newspaper (which doesn't exist anymore, you old angry man) reporter, or are you absolutely as inept as you sound?
Stop posting stupid things, you intellectually deficient troll.
I'm not the OP, but I use an app with a settable threshold of activity for both local and distant. I bet there are quite a few of them. The problem is that most all bona-fide events are eclipsed by shootings in our 15 or so lost Dem cities. You'll get to know Indianopolis, St Louis, etc real well.
