One year ago, 31 March, 2012, we filed our first post on Charleston Thug Life. We closed out the first year yesterday with 1,055 posts, 2,729 comments from readers - thugs and citizens - and 1,810,763 hits.
We are starting to see small changes. Some bond judges have taken note of the unfavorable and professionally embarrassing exposure and are actually setting more appropriate bonds on violent and repeat offenders. Citizens have been made aware of what is happening in their neighborhoods and we get more and more information from them every day. We don't know for sure, but we suspect law enforcement finds at least some of this information useful and actionable.
Our plan is to keep going. Our hope is that more citizens choose to become involved and forward information. We are a small group with other responsibilities to tend to and we definitely welcome any assistance.
Thanks for reading and thanks for helping.
