Why Are We Stalking You? To Keep You Out of Jail | Molly Baldwin | TEDxPennsylvaniaAvenue

What does it take to keep America’s young men from going to jail again and again? Roca, a Massachusetts-based nonprofit organization, helps hundreds of very high-risk young people stay out of harm’s way and go to work. Those young people say that Roca is a pain in the ass and “like that annoying fly that never goes away,” and Molly Baldwin, Roca’s founder and CEO, agrees. She suggests that if we want to see any change happening for these young men, we should start by changing ourselves first.

Molly Baldwin is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Roca, Inc. A graduate of UMass, Amherst, Molly began her professional life as a street worker and community organizer, and soon founded Roca in 1988.

For over twenty-eight years, she has been a tireless advocate, mentor, and community convener, reaching out to the highest-risk young people from Massachusetts’ most dangerous urban communities, and bringing together the major institutions, corporations, and agencies that affect these young people’s lives. With the help of engaged institutions and Roca’s committed staff, Molly’s efforts at Roca have helped thousands of young people make positive and profound changes in their lives.

She even said she hires gang members. Wtf am I the only sane person here

[InpeaceBcool]

It’s illegal to stalk period. No matter how self righteous you are!

[klaudiawarot]

Creating car accidents, triggering mass shootings, and so on. Well done.

All the stalking does is make people angry and paranoid and then when they fight back they get accused of mental conditions and end up in jail or mental institutions. These people are the farthest from your friend. If they cared about you they'd talk to you, simple as that. They come to the wrong conclusions about human behavior and causes to crime.

[gsosa]

I am not a drug dealer, not a gang member, leave me alone. It is illegal and tormenting. I own my own business, I don't need your help.

[jimmyjupiter]

They should be arrested for harassment.

[nathantremblay]

To keep you out of jail?? That's laughable. They should be the ones in jail.

[melissam]

She gets an F for trying to normalize gangstalking. And a big F-you for introducing this as a positive in the lives of it's victims.

[MMJC]

Stalking is not a deterrent for jail time given it causes people to lash out in anger to get jail time. It's the blatant lies for me.

[ernestschulte]

How many people have killed themselves from this torture? Then gaslighted me and made me believe I was crazy. They stole a decade of my life

[patrickkraemer]

How Gangstalkers/Community harassment salve their conscience. They attack people who have never been to jail trying to put them over the edge. Try to find any weakness they can exploit. This talk is just a whitewash.

[PinvinoPiggg]

These people are bloody insane, I live in Sweden and there is something similar here and those years I had them on my back until I finally moved was one of the worst in my life. The stress of having an unknown mob relentlessly harassing you is hard to understand until you're subject to it.

[tonypino]

Gangstalking. That's what this is. It's an agreement between law enforcement and criminals and people make money from it.

[Betina]

I’m not breaking ANY laws, I have no addictions, I have no criminal history. I fear God only. Why are you stalking me? Wait for it, your day of reckoning is coming quickly.

[TRADONOMICON]

I never thought that a police affiliated group would admit openly to Gangstalking.

[tamgsmith]

It is simply unconstitutional. You do not break the law to enforce it. Stalking is always harmful, an invasion of privacy and down right criminal. Don't effing do it ever.

[lasfinezt]

Gang stalking is the goofiest behavior I’ve ever seen. Pretty soon these people will pay the ultimate price if they don’t stop this

[habga]

Am I crazy or these sick people committing crimes against humanity without any consequences?

[kellyromulo]

These people are the true psychopaths. And anyone who gets off doing this you got something wrong with you

[fuckdumbrappers]

It’s all a cover it up it’s gangstalking
