What?

I was painting broadly the social demographic of the people that push this sort of nonsense - it usually is uppity liberals and fringe radicals.

People who actually care about their neighborhoods call the police when there are homicides, drug dealing, and violence occurring.

> there are uppity conservatives and fringe right-wing protestors

Yes, and I'm one of those uppity conservatives. I hold the fringe right-wing guys in contempt, but I don't see the relevance? If you want me to rail on them, I will gladly.

>Do you feel that you're "in the middle" and not a conservative?

Libertarian I guess? Grew up in a poor neighborhood much like the one described in the article, so I feel quite strongly about this sort of stuff. A larger police presence would have been a gift from God.
