Guess who's coming to dinner...
I like to make the monthly meetings at my local police headquarters. It's a community affair - the neighbors come out and air some complaints directly to the captain, we get an update on crime in the area, etc. They bring in guest speakers to talk about current events and issues of importance to the neighborhood. The other day I get a letter like I usually do informing me of the next meeting's time and agenda. Guess who's making an appearance four blocks from my house next Tuesday?
That's right, CeaseFire PA is sending one of their sheepdogs to tell us, the residents of West Philly along the Lancaster Ave. corridor, how we can prevent gun violence in our community! Yay! I'm wondering how she's going to expand "ban all guns" into 30 minutes...
Anyone have any more info this Orla Treacy? I read somewhere that she finished college in 2008, which makes her too young to address a room full of police officers and people who have lived in their neighborhoods going on 50 years on how to prevent anything other than acne, but maybe there's more than one Orla Treacy in Philadelphia.
If anyone has a good summary of the usual BS they try to push please post it here. If all goes well I plan on recording the entire session for posterity.

Re: Guess who's coming to dinner...
Is this an open meeting or limited to members of the local community? I would love to attend this one!

Re: Guess who's coming to dinner...
Well...it's not a "closed" meeting, but I've only ever seen locals, and occasionally the state rep from the next district down. They have everyone sign in when they come inside, and I've only ever seen local addresses. That's not to say that outsiders *can't* attend, though. I mean, they encourage us to bring friends. They don't say where these friends can come from...

You could ask her why she insists on disarming people when the DOJ suggests that violent crime goes down as lawful gun ownership increases.
You can also ask her how she expects folks to be protected since the Supreme Court has said that the Police have no responsibility to protect everyone.
You can also suggest that Cease Fire PA focus their energy on making sure the judges and the DA actually put people away and not just a slap on the wrist or catch and release.
This should be interesting to say the least."Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost." - JOHN ADAMS, 2nd President of the United States of America
