12. My Daughter Lives 6 blocks from the scene of the "gang" disturbance
There is no visible support for the Neo-Nazi's in her neighborhood. People did not want the skinheads there.

The original disturbance started in the State Fair grounds between two local groups of youths. The private security force hired to police the Fair escorted the youths outside the grounds and the altercation continued on the street, and escalated into passer byers being yanked off motorcycles and out of passing cars.

My daughter and her boyfriend blamed the private security force for not detaining the youths in the Fairgrounds until Police were dispatched to arrest the miscreants. Shuttling the trouble makers outside only transfered the problem to another jurisdiction.

Yet another example of "private outsourcing" of public sector jobs gone wrong.
