A Jacksonville, Florida, woman became fed up with the criminal activity in her neighborhood. Kathy Livingston believed there were drug dealers operating on her block, so she decided to put up a sign.
"If u are a buyer, pictures of u – car – tag will be sent to JSO. We've had enough," the sign read.
She first put up the sign in 2016, and it has been taken down several times since then. However, Kathy doesn't mind replacing it over and over again.
“Every day I take it down and put it up,” Kathy said. “They stole it, I paid $5 for the cardboard and the stickers and put it back."
Someone even threw a brick into her window and attempted to slash her tires. But Kathy's resolve is strong. She believes crime has declined overall and that the criminals' intimidation tactics don't work on her. She even says she is working with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office to make arrests.
“That tells you she has their attention, and it also tells you they’re cowards,” said Ken Jefferson, a crime and safety expert for Action News Jax.
Kathy has the support of many of her neighbors who also want the crime out of the area, along with a local corrections officer and biker group who all volunteered to stand guard at her home.
“I’m old school, I want them gone, I want my neighborhood back,” Kathy said.
Please SHARE if you believe Kathy is pretty brave for putting that sign up.
