Noises in Da Hood!

Do no Harm first is supposed to be a good rule in medicine.
In Personal life it like the golden rule, of the Dalia lama's golden rule, "If you can help any one ,don't hurt them." A simple rule to live by.

But yesterday, I had to confront some people ,I was possibly ready to die or be shot, or I would have killed. Because we were having problems in the neighborhood with some..people playing there music very loud, lots of Bass and it was causing my head to reverberate when I was trying to get some sleep. I was over my mother house , I was there with my mother,my stepfather, my grandmother who are all over 60 years, and my niece who is 18. It had to effect every one in nearby homes.

I was up about till 4:00 am, after repeated calls to the police department. And the Police did come out there ,but the music still persisted, I got frustrated. The Police couldn't ,wouldn't do anything? The police wanted a description of the property, and the dispatcher asked me if they were in plain sight..there weren't, but later I wondered if I had a rifle could I have taken pot shots at them?

So after getting really fed-up, I decided to go outside there to at least get a description of the property that I could give to the Police, plus the people other there were talking alot of shit. If they wanted me ,I'd present my self to them.

When I went out there, it was these Mexicans. One looked very dangerous, probably drug dealer types, when I approached them they started reach for there belts. I tried to ask them as best as I could to turn it down, I copied the address number. One of the guys ,the dangerous looking one , had a Pit Bull that was sitting out...it looked scared at first. ;) Cause I would have shot it.

They acted as he if couldn't they understand what I was saying, and then he got indignant and said ."We don't got any money"? maybe they thought I was a beggar or something? I did what I set out to do I got the address, faced them and called the police back. They then said..they were kind of busy right now and will send out someone later ( though the police had been around there at least twice)...thank god I didn't get shot. What are you supposed to do, if the police can't or won't do there jobs? Were were other people in that community? Everyone is to afraid to stand up for themselves, and I felt I was the only one out there. I guess the rest of them are asleep making the whole safe for pedophiles and such.

They turned off there stereo for the rest of the remaining morning.

To do no harm? What would have been the best thing to do in such situation? How do you defend what you love from people ,or organizations who would try to destroy it? Not that I'm anti- ignorant immigrant, but I'm against my mother having a stroke because she cannot get to sleep at night or neither the rest of us.

These days I have to make alot of personal difficult personal decisions, maybe it better to leave such a land where you don't have to take a gun to confront people, where law enforce doesn't protect you , a lawless place.

Sometimes I think I should ,"cut and run",
