There is neighborhood watch -- and there is neighborhood watch!

(N)eighborhood (W)atch is when citizens take the rising crime problem head on and agree to keep vigilant, promptly report anything suspicious etc. It's a great, basically perfect idea -- who could argue with it?

The case in Florida, the assault on George Zimmerman as I prefer to call it, is no doubt classic. Reports that are no doubt trustworthy have it that Zimmerman's neighborhood had had nasty crime problems. Based on the ample evidence of "Mister" Martin's character and the incident itself, it seems certain Zimmerman was entirely right in his actions.

Here's an article from Blacklistednews.com that uses pure irony to apply the above term to how the politicians are building layer upon layer of snooping and spying on us, the people. This time, though, technology is not the focus, but rather goold ol' USSR style spying on everybody by everybody else -- especially the prostitution of police departments to that end:
