Ch 6 reported it, not on their website. But a whole bunch of graffiti on houses. Suspicion of yet more gang activity.
Oh wait, the dems say there are no gangs. DV says it's a very safe city and neighborhood but REFUSES to buy a house there
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.
there are a few small businesses that are looking to move out of that area. they say that the vandalism has increased so much that it is hard for them to find insurance coverage. And when they do find it.....it is very very very costly.

"Davis, 28, said her baby was taken by a member of the Cleanaz gang, which was once powerful in Schenectady. Police raids from 2004 to 2006 broke the gang, but members are returning now after serving prison sentences."
Oh, that's right Visitor...according to the Gazetto, the gangs were cleaned out but are now returning. Please, even the spin is a pathetic attempt to ignore the reality.
Gangs are ruling the Hill and MP is a stones throw away from complete anarchy....how do you think this is working out in the high school????
Why the heck do you think Marcellas left MP? Go to Combos and ask Patty how many times a day she picks up pit bull feces off he sidewalk. Why do you think MP Bakery doesn't have store hours posted? They don't want to be robbed!
The gangs will only get more out of control with denial. It puts our residents and our officers at risk everyday we ignore it and spin it into a fairy tale.
There is nothing to see, the city is getting better, it is a miracle. Call it the renaissance. Laa-la-laaaa-dee daaaa
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
Rachel I've forgotten more about the issue of gangs in Schenectady than you will ever know, so please don't embarrass yourself by trying to lecture me about the problem.
My question was who said there was nota gang problem - if memory serves the Mayor was at the press conference which announced the indictment of 40+ members of teh 4 BLock gang.
My issue is the contant inaccurate assertions about crime issues in Schenectady. It doesn't help to undersestimate or exaggerate the problem.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist here folks. Just drive or walk around schenectady...especially mt. pleasant/hamilton hill....if you dare. Just ask the businesses(the ones that are left) and ask them if there are gangs. Go talk to the respectful, responsible folks who still live in those areas, and are still holding on to hope that their neighborhoods will be cleaned up....ask them if there is gang activity!!! Ask the 'good kids' that go to schenectady schools, and ask them if there are gangs.
Don't depend on what the gazetto or the schenectady elected officials tell ya!! Just go to the source!! Gangs and drug dealers are EVERYWHERE....and when the 'few' are caught.....YUP...you got it....the liberal judges cut a deal!!! Does the words 'PLEA BARGIN' sound familiar????
That's why the drug dealing scum come to schenectady....they are clearly weak on punishment...not to mention their lucrative welfare program!!!
