Angels and city weigh future of Guardian Angels presence
The Frederick Housing Authority and Guardian Angels agreed to a wait and see stance on whether the crime fighting group remains in the city. Housing director Charles H. Smith Jr cited resident complaints about drug dealers and foul language while Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa defended their tactics as effective. Decisions hinge on tenant council input at a housing authority board meeting and a rally at the Sagner public housing complex off Pennsylvania Avenue. In morning talks, Smith reported about 20 positive calls from residents wanting the Angels to stay, with parents saying children no longer fear returning home after school. The group insists it will not change its tactics, saying they have worked for 11 years.
