« A talk with the Chief | Main | Four Cops Injured in Mt. Hope Melee: Park Hijacked! »

What we Know So Far

1) Kevin Jackson pulled the permit from the DPW only for a block party on Cypress from Camp to Knowles. We still don't know for whom he pulled the permit. So far I have been refused a copy of the permit.

2) No permit was pulled for use of the park, live music, food, etc. etc.

3) The event was supposed to commemorate the death of a young Mt. Hope man last year who died in an auto wreck while fleeing the police at high speed.

4) Kevin Jackson failed to notify the police of the event and District 8 was shorthanded that day.

5) The trouble started when people at the event began throwing rocks at the DPW crew who came to pick up the street barriers.

6) The police responded to the DPW's call.

7) When the police arrived rocks were thrown at them.

I spoke with Rita Murphy this morning, and this afternoon I spoke both with Maj. Fitzgerald and with Col. Esserman of the Police Department.

So far we have not heard from the man who bears responsibility for this dreadful incident, Kevin Jackson.

Maybe people will now understand why I refer to him as Kevin Jackson the Enabler, because he enables these types of things to happen every year by pulling permits for events that invariably get out of hand

Do ya think the Mt. Hope community will get an apology?
