Nearly every morning for the last month, Jay has been waking up before sunrise to drive around the streets of Lincoln Heights, patrolling neighborhood bus stops to make sure children are getting to school safely.
“We have a very tight community, so all of our kids, they know us,” he said.
But for anyone outside the community, Jay’s presence might be a mystery. He wears a face covering along with tactical vests, and Jay is not his real name, which he asked not to use to prevent harassment from hate groups.
He’s a member of the Lincoln Heights Safety and Watch program, an initiative that started shortly after Feb. 7, when a neo-Nazi group waving swastika flags and shouting racial slurs demonstrated on a highway overpass just on the edge of this majority-Black community about 30 minutes north of Cincinnati.
the purpose of the 2nd Amendment is so you can protect yourself from violent lunatics who wish to harm you and your family

Time to strap up as a democrat. Protect yourself from the crazy nazis. That is one thing they fear.
If I could afford it, alongside other things I’d need to consider, at this point I’d definitely do it.
Went from zero guns to three guns plus body armor in the last 3 months

That must be this newfound “freedom” Musk and Trump did propagate? 🙁
hopefully they and their nazi pals find out what’s going on sooner rather than later.
Can’t wait until they get declared domestic terrorists and alphabet squadded.
Just ask Reagan how Republicans feel about armed minorities.
Armed minorities are harder to oppress.
The 50s were so last month. The 60s couldn’t come any sooner.
Starting with 11/22/63…
That was last year, and the shooter was stopped
Unsuccessful, so it doesn’t count. He wasn’t even president at the time.
do they have a school breakfast program for kids
The neighborhood watch is a new part of the Heights Movement group. They offer youth mentorship, arts and rec programs, and job training along with the neighborhood watch.
Im sure if you want to help them start a school lunch program they would be very appreciative.
this is awesome but can i get it from an unambiguously supportive source
