Guardian Angels seem to have a pretty fair record, I wouldn't turn down any help. God knows Youngstown can use any help it can get.

The Red Coats lost the revolution because they were easier targets when the militia practiced guerrilla warfare.

Wearing the uniform is like turning on the kitchen light - it makes the cockroaches scatter. 

While this may be true, criminals are more likely to show their true intentions when in the presence of ordinary looking people.  Our block watch uses people of all ages from a youngster riding a bicycle to a senior citizen walking with the aid of a cane.

Wearing the uniform is like turning on the kitchen light - it makes the cockroaches scatter.  Having a very visible presence

I feel it is better for our block watch to patrol the neighborhood without wearing a uniform such as those worn by the Guardian Angels.

The founder of the Guardian Angels was in town today.

Will the presence of the Guardian Angels help to reduce crime on the south side of Youngstown?
