Gangs and Me: my real life story - a tale of terror
 More Large Retail Development? NO
Social Service Support and Agency Development? YES
There really is a story behind this, and it is not quite as hostile as it appears at first. I think the problem here is that "Wal-mart" was built here a few years ago, and there were plans to build a "Meijer's" in a nearby area (which was stopped), but there are no or few funds available for Social Services or programs, in particular to hire staff. For example, one problem was that there was a rather large, white, hippy type of gang coming into the area to receive welfare checks and then go back to where they were living, elsewhere. Since Social Service funding was cut, these people, who did not live in area were not monitored or stopped for a long time. It is difficult to say what is going on in other Social Service areas, because since many of these people see me as a "target" and they have played game after game with me. For instance, I went for an interview at Wayne County Children's Services, and was told at interview that they did not know where all of their foster children were or who the foster parents were. This is hard for me to believe, because other people in the community claim that things are not quite this bad.

As the result or maybe to be healed from all of this prior abuse - I was the one who chose to do the Wooster Ohio writin priject which included noticing many things in the area are forcing myself to talk to people here. This comminity was known to me from the past to be one of the most hostile mean communities I had ever lived in overall so it was important to do this. What I was looking for was the reassurance that people were not all crooked, nasty amd mean. This Ohio cult involved staying distant from and avoiding most people due to this and falsification of names. But here I found these people who were enveloped in negative activity to want to get out of this and "not be the crook"" anymore. In this area these first names were used over and over to be able to tell certain things and not be in trouble as a result of this. The thing to do with most of this was to write this down and then burn this up in the fireplace for a long time. Then - I noticed that things werent getting any better
here and I started to become fixated on negative depressive issues of the past and I noticed gang activity - which this time included too many police cars, ambulances, and funeral processions, so I quickly wrote the site to put something online for others in the police to look at and to hopefully get assistance with the gang activity here and this worked because this ''other"
activity stopped but people here were not happy with this being brought out into the ópen' and they were not talkative anymore.
