Another Reason Why I Need To Move
Well yesterday was another eventful day in 'Da Hood. Ever since I started hanging out with my next door neighbor, I have become more aware of what I am living around. I've been told that the majority of our apartment complex is one big drug deal, and that there are at least 10 dealers living in the seven apartment buildings that are visible from my patio.
Apparently sometime yesterday the maintenance worker must have been making the rounds installing new air filters. He came to my apartment and left. It was such a beautiful day outside I had my sliding glass doors open and was hanging up laundry. The maintenance worker apparently walked in on something he didn't want to see or smell.
First a fire truck and an ambulance showed up and entered the an apartment around the corner from me with one of the managers. They quickly walked back out and left. Within about 10 minutes, two Dallas PD cruisers showed up. Then another cruiser showed up about an hour later. Then the Dallas Crime Lab van and a JP showed up. Then another unmarked white van showed up.
After 4 - 5 hours after this ordeal started, they wheeled a body out and loaded it into the unmarked van. As they were pulling out of the parking space, I guess they forgot to anchor the stretcher, or strap the body to the stretcher because you could hear a large THUMP. They got out and had to lift the body off the bottom of the van floor and put it back on the stretcher and then anchor the stretcher to the van. A couple of hours later a flatbed tow truck showed up and towed off a car, that I can only assume was that of the deceased.
About the time the tow truck showed up, the deceased's next door neighbor showed up bragging about the fact that he had known his next door neighbor had been in there deteriorating for at least a week. What a junkie loser to not have enough guts to tell someone.
This is just another reason why I am ready to move out of this place. For those of you who weren't around for the first few posts of this blog, my first annoyance, where my electricity was turned off by TXU was blogged about here.
Then one of the numerous times our electricity has been turned off by the Nazis who run this complex were blogged about here
Then we had the firecracker incidents.
About a month ago, one of our security officers (after being shot in the shoulder) shot and killed an intruder who had just robbed three people leaving the vet's office near the apartment. We have been told by one of the other security officers that the Nazis have since mandated that they are not allowed to carry weapons anymore.
And today we could have taped an entire episode of CSI from my patio. Yep, it's time to move.
