With any needles around, if your going vigilante, be really careful because the last thing you want is getting whatever they've got. :heckno:

I'd actually agree with the M80 idea. Fuck mace, go get a box of bearscares, a big roll of wick, and next time they're there, light afew and toss them about 4-5' away from them. They'll definitely get the point REALLY quick.

I can lend you my m80 launcher so you can hit them from a distance LOL

T4RAWR 12-10-2012 10:05 AM

if dirty needles are being left behind its definitely a concern.


try writing the mayor with your concerns. also try contacting media outlets and expressing your concern over the lack of support from law enforcement personnel.


lastly, you may need to beef up the access control in the area somehow to keep those folks out. higher fences, locked gates, etc etc

1) Buy a ton of crack rocks -- I'm talking 2-300
2) Make a line of crack rocks on the ground leading from the area where they shoot up to under a giant box
3) Prop a box up with a stick, with a rope tied to the stick
4) Wait until they follow the trail of crack rocks underneath the box and BAM! Pull the string


Done. You've caught yourself some junkies.


This approach worked with a few pesky bunny wabbits i had running around my yard. This shouldn't be too different

Kinda reminds me of my neighbors in my apartment complex.. Estranged couple, a rather abusive boyfriend and they have shouting matches so loud you can hear them from outside the building. Every other night they light up a joint and it stinks up the whole lobby/hallway area where you get into your suite.. There's a rather young family that lives in the same building as me so they complain, but it keeps happening. My complex manager's warned them a couple times about the stuff they're doing and they're on the verge of being kicked out

This. Be sure to record it :joy:

the mosquito alarm thing seems cool, i don't know if the other resident will go for it.

Hondaracer 12-10-2012 05:55 PM

make a rock out of rat poison and leave in it a little baggy in the door well, hopefully they shoot it :troll:

Also you dont have to directly bear mase them, but if not many ppl use the spot where they hang out just buy some bear mace and mace the shit out of the area, that shit lingers forever and the last thing u want is to stick around there

i think as long as they're inside it should affect them. only people within close proximity should be affected (i.e. those people in the stairwell)

blue_noise 12-10-2012 06:22 PM

or maybe just bear mace them and not call the police.

again. assault with a weapon. meaning you get in trouble not the crack heads on your stair case.




find some other way dude.

blue_noise 12-10-2012 06:52 PM

how about get a hose and spray them lol

T4RAWR 12-10-2012 06:55 PM

that would probably be fine actually....

cold water from the hose at night time... might actually cause them to freeze to death :pokerface:

not sure what sort of legal ramifications it would have but i dont think any judge would charge you with assault (dont quote me on that).


it'd be hilarious if there were sprinklers on a timer in that area and they turned on at the hours that the crack heads are there.

blue_noise 12-10-2012 07:12 PM

they come at least once a week mostly after people go to sleep. so basically i can't do much about them except call the police. the police is never around when you need them:okay:

Manic! 12-10-2012 07:18 PM

mosquito alarms only works on young people or people with very good hearing. Here the sound here. Mosquito Ringtones - Download the Mosquito Ring Tone Free

I would install some real bright flood lights and put some signs up and tell the tenants to call the manager and the cops when ever they see something happening.

pot of boiling oil :thumbs:

lady_mapetite 12-11-2012 12:04 AM

can i ask what makes this stairway area so attractive to these addicts? i know it's a hard question to answer but my angle is if you find out what's attracting them to come here and shoot em up, then you just need to take out that factor/element to make them go away.

any clues/ideas as to why they come here in the first place?

MindBomber 12-11-2012 12:41 AM

IMO.

T4 - It's not uncommon for a person to be charged with assault for spraying another person with a garden hose.

1. Bear Mace - assault with a weapon.

2. Water House - assault.

3. Water House (likely event, victims die of hypothermia) - manslaughter.

If you don't want them chilling out there, install a gate and remove access.

The call will never be a high priority for police, because no one is in immediate danger.

The police will never make a serious effort to prevent the people from using the area, because all that would achieve is displacing the problem to another stair well to no real effect.

Homelessness is a reality of life in large population centers, accept it, or move to the country.

To be quite honest, your concern over dirty needless is warranted, but your desire to bear mace a group of people doing you no immediate harm affords you less respect than the addicts, in my eyes. A better solution would be taking a stroll through the area in the morning to ensure no needles have been left behind, and disposing of them in a sharps container.

"hose" :troll:

Well I live near Edmund station. The stair case provides shelter for them. The drug dealer uses the area to deal. I can't really put a gate to the stair because they just jump over it. I told my coworker about it. My boss said just go during night and paintball the addict. It's getting ridiculous that Everytime I open the door to the stairway I have to listen for people on the other side. I think next time if I hear people I am just gonna call 911. So they wouldn't flee.

have you told the police when you spoke to them that drug dealers use the area to deal? i've looked at the picture you posted and removing shelter doesn't seem like an option, can't you put a gate that's high enough so they can't jump over it?

otherwise like someone mentioned, go to the media. try sending your story to cbc investigates

Blast some Justin Bieber

DragonChi 12-15-2012 01:52 AM

1. Motion sensors with bright ass lights. No one likes getting high like it was bright as day.
2. Setup loud speakers with white noise, or some high pitched annoying sound. Like Dan mentioned... the Biebs.

3. Kidnap two of the junkies, store them in your basement for a couple days. Cut off the fingers of one and make the other one watch. Let them loose to spread word that you're not to be fucked with.

Cassijon 12-16-2012 09:19 AM
