A Century block party was givin with free everything, the police were invited to come and meet the public and not even one road by,So my though is its not the 300 that is going to stop the abuse of policy,Its better comunacation with the ppl in the community and the CITY LEADERS and LAW ENFORCMRNT, Is that not what our tax dollars pay for?

You want the thugs out……..you have to start by teaching them at home. Start with respect, you have to have respect for other peoples property. Manners , you have to teach your children manners , simple yes maam , no maam , please and thank you. They have to have the want, to have a nice place to have a party. How many playgrounds have you went by that the county has redone with new equipment for the kids, to come by a couple months later and it looks like a war zone. If your not taught at home to take care of your own home and have pride in it , your not gonna make them take care of public property. The parents have to start at home , and it’s sad most parents don’t have respect either, or they would be ashamed of the way their children behave. Act like trash , you will be considered trash. Have pride in our community , take care of what we have. As for the thugs , they will eliminate each other with their lack of knowledge and no respect for anything, they will kill each other off one at the time…..and that’s sad.

REGARDING:
“Threat of force or the threat of being shot by security(private or LEO) is the only way to keep thugs away.”

And yet many churches and civic events happen with no armed security on hand and no shots fired. It MIGHT be the people involved make a difference.

Threat of force or the threat of being shot by security(private or LEO) is the only way to keep thugs away.They will not come if they are out guned.The first comment is a possibilty(then that would put the problem on someone elses shoulders). They would need to keep control with armed security??????Wait a minute that is where this started.

when we all get sick and tired of the riff raff and thugs that ruin the peace and make our lives miserable, we will do something about them. we dont need law enforcement or government to do our house cleaning and they arent going to do it anyway, look at pensacola. over the last 15 years the lawlessness has slowly been creeping up into the north end of the county. to change it , it takes a mind set. it takes all of us to come together as a community and provide a united front against all this lawlessness. a whole bunch of parents could get together and have real teen parties at this location and everyone pitch in on the money for the rent and get the kiddos included. kids are very resourceful and would love to get involved with something they think is going to produce a party. i just wish one of the rules would be if there is going to be any kind of shindig at this location, make it where the kids out number the adults 10 to 1…

Once again, a small faction of our society has reared its ugly head and spoiled it for the rest of us that would have rented the building at affordable rates and shown respect for others property. Now more than likely the buildign will not see much use as a rentable space due to exorbatant rates being charged to keep out the riff raff and otherwise undesireables……..thanks alot thugs.

What if….

Century sold the building to a private company to manage… who would be responsible for security?

Or… if not viable from a financial perspective…

Bulldoze it and sell the land?

Why do we not allow this problem to go away? Why does this continue to be a government managed problem?
