to all of you who write about the GA, in the early 80′s a member of the group give his life to protect a citizen, now the question is: is anyone here will give his life protecting another one who you don’t even know? bunch of pussies go on the streets and do something, i don’t like the guardian angels but at least this wannabes do something for the comunnities..

A militia usually have weapons. I’ve never seen an Angel carrying an M-16 or 9mm. I love what one poster said. These Angels haters are hipsters who think it’s so cool to make fun of everyone else, yet they’re the ones who are the jokes. First of all, you’re not even true hipsters bc you don’t know the first thing about your own movement. You just dress the part like clowns yourselves and go around with that ironic smirk on your face. Since most hipsters are white it’s so typical isn’t it to be condescending toward people you don’t understand and whose skin color is different? Oh I’m so cool, I’m a hipster Mission Mission reporter and think everyone looks stupid and they’re so clueless and misguided and I’m so smart and wonderful I read esoteric socialist authors and Thoreau and I don’t know the first thing about wilderness survival but I’m just sooooo cool.

Yes, none of the readers here who disagree with the GA’s tactics or motives help society.

Definitely not social workers or public defenders reading this blog. Just a bunch of smelly ass rich kids. It’s so much easier to think about things that way, right? The same way it’s easy to call GAs nerds and whatnot.

What’s wrong with a Militia? As long as they are “well-regulated” they are explicitly protected under the 2nd Amendment.

Why aren’t they doing anything about that bus stop ad?
That movie was a crime.

Ah, but neighborhood watch is one step removed. No direct confrontation.

The Angel’s rhetoric is part of the appeal. Without it, yeah, it’s just neighborhood watch and that wouldn’t be nearly as much fun.

I agree with the accountability aspect groups like this should have, but i dont think they come close to a militia type group. What they are doing is no different then what neighborhood watch groups do to ensure that the area they live in is safe which are also very common. If anything they were doing was illegal then this group would cease to exist all together.

Here’s the problem. They’re a militia.

I like my police to be beholden, eventually, to me. We’ve got appointed officials, elected officials, oversight groups, and even the feds keeping an eye on our police. It’s not perfect, but it’s mostly okay.

The angels? They like to talk like police, use terms like “citizens arrest”, go on “patrol” and we’ve got no control over them.

So thank you for your volunteering spirit, but no thanks.

I was really enjoying the missionmission website, until i read this and the post in 2010, The people that write for this site give the illusion they give a shit about the community by posting related happenings in the mission, but when a non profit organization attempts to help the safety of the residents here they talk shit about them? Nice one guys, Lets see Vic go walk the streets like these guys do…

Agreed. I’m so tired of this neighborhood’s attitude. It’s like, if we take away the gang violence, then it may not be cool to live there anymore ’cause you’re no longer “tough”, or whatever it is going through the empty heads of these 20-something kids.

The hipsters treat the mission like it’s their playground. They don’t care what it’s going to be like in ten years, they won’t be here to find out. They’ll all have run back to the suburbs by then. I do NOT care what you are wearing, you are NOT cool, go back to your mommy and daddy and let the rest of the community try to repair itself.

I have never been into the GA’s, even stirring up shit with them back in the early 80′s on Broadway St. But if having them post up in certain high crime areas does something then why complain.
