On another note, while walking the old bridge/marina last summer at dusk I have heard gunfire on several occasions originating from within Hudson.
Now that's a great example of what I'm talking about. If people (breathing things) are in an area and are armed and willing to shoot (others,each other), just why some people believe them walking down the sidewalk with their smith and wesson on their hip would suddenly make the vermin scurry away in fear.
A gun isn't some magical, mystical thing to vermin like them--it's something they carry every day, have shot and been shot at, had friends murdered and probably have murdered someone.
So down the street comes white guy and what? When they see each other, they often shoot on sight or rapidly work towards it. For long ranger they will either let him pass or if they can, get an advantage then go after him, robbing him or just shooting him and taking the gun they've been eyeballing.
Why don't they just shoot you on sight? Because they're not "at war" with you, so they know you won't shoot them as soon as you see them. So if they do nothing, you'll just walk on by and they then will continue doing whatever. If you plop down, they may go away (thinking you're some crazy white guy/cop /setup), or if they think that area is theirs, they may sneak up and kill you, or if they don't claim that area and are just grazing on people there, just rob you.
It's far better to go to a white, affluent place like the farmers market in appleton (that's in WI) and walk around with shotguns and rifles while families are looking at vegetables....
This truly isn't rocket science, but I think some people are so in "argument mode" all the time they just jump on, whether what they're actually reading is what I (or others) are actually saying.
We've had a good past few years economically and now they're here to take what we worked for. I've also had a few high school age kids try to hassle me when eating in my truck in that park with the burial mounds overlooking lake St Croix.
Calling 911 is pointless. The Hudson PD needs more officers.
Sorry you are living that life. I moved from some place like that in the 80s and did it again about 5 years ago. It will be a while before vermin gets to this small rural town.
Any place around bigger urban areas, vermin go there as they have a smaller police force, so they don't have the resources to combat the volume/sophistication of organized vermin.
They do this due to jurisdictions. A place like Hudson is prime due to it being not only in another jurisdiction....but in another state. They're adding layers/complexity in cooperation for any law enforcement monitoring them.
But what they hell do I know. I don't have a link to that on the internet, so it must all be bs....
