Stop this:
Residents in the Tiki Gardens subdivision have reported suspected Meth drug distribution on both Silverswird Ct., and Paradise Ct., ad vomitum. The Police appear to cover for petty criminals, and do absolutely nothing. One resident reports that police actually side with the criminals. Your tax payer dollars at work. As long as the population does not complain to federal govt., you can count on more burglaries, addiction, crime, tragedies, etc. Apparently it’s good business and keeps these incompetent people employed, and the lowlife parasites going. Stop being cowed, and stand up for justice!!! Your children are literally in danger of these low lives.
Have you ever met a local with a brain?
Exactly.
Try being civil, this is the land of Aloha. Leave if it’s a problem for you.
You wouldn’t be of the “progressive” persuasion would you Ms. Kaufman? I’m asking because if so it seems quite ironic (not to mention hypocritical) of you as an advocate of inclusiveness to criticize someone’s free speech rights (when saying something you don’t like) and then suggest the best solution (for you) is for them to leave. Try being consistent, this is the land of free speech. Leave if it’s a problem for you.
