Lets look at effects of the Mayor your community leader and representative)renting out city property to seedy character’s, There’s been a stabbing in the same building, a shoots fired a few weeks before this shooting took place, a young man lost his life in a vehicle crash after drinking alcohol at a party held at the agricultural building that the mayor rented and now a double shooting. YEAH way to go. now, get the local boy scout commander to provide security and the Mayor will be right on track for re-election.

I dont beleive the Mayors decisions of rentin city buildings to thugs should require local law enforcement to be baby sitting his and the cities counsels private parties. at the tax payers expesne.

Hey here’s a suggestion just say no to renting out the property for anything but legitimate meetings i.e. wedding receptions business meeting, church functions school dances etc. If you follow good business practices and principles which is apparent our city don’t have a clue, just follow other communities good examples.

We need Armed Security, not Unarmed. I thought that was the purpose to have Security. Someone with authority to handle any situation. Everyone attending the event are Unarmed Security Guards. This is a bit backwards, it’s time for Century to go Forward. (Let me see now, we still have a Old backward way of thinking and doing business), the very reason the community can’t grow.

Dave: My thinking exactly.

As for Jim W my thinkings was that around 10:00 pm all the cops in that area would be there because of wild parties and the party getting out of hand. What you read into what I said – I have no idea!!!

This is for You Who: One thing for sure we will know where to find the cops around 10:00 pm or so they will be there “BET”

Do you think the police should not be there at anytime after what occured? The more they show their presence the better off all parties are. It is apparent that you can not leave some parties on their own for people get killed and hurt. So, the council is just doing what they think is prudent and reasonable. They do not want people getting hurt and no one should be using this venue to make money anyway. Especially the booze part of it unless you are licensed to do so. There should be no parties on premises who are not held responsible for their actions. This includes those who may have a liquor licenses to have a one night party. They should be made to have a certificate of insurance nameing the city as the named insured and holding them harmless. Oh is that to business like for you. Well that is what the guys down the road have to do that is running their business why should you be abble to gain and not pay your portion? There is a little business 101 for you and thats just the tip of the iceburg.

Do you think one guard unarmed is going to tell a crowd of people what to do. He will go along with any thing they do. Need to put a real cop in as security with a gun, taser and radio and you might stop it. One thing for sure we will know where to find the cops around 10:00 pm or so they will be there “BET”

Just remember it has to start some where. I think as times comes along you will see that the council will get it figured out. Even if i includes closing it down and everyone loosing.

Fred
These people Don’t care about the RULES, and they won’t care about
some security guard that you have there anymore than they cared about
the crowd of people and KIDS who were around for both the shootings in this
building this year.
IF and I say IF THIS IS GANG RELATED…..this guard will just be the
first one taken out. GANGS run the streets now days and EVERYTHING
WE ARE DOING AS COPS AND CITIZENS ARE NOT WORKING.
RULES GET SERIOUS and as for TIMS SHE SIGNED FOR THIS BEHAVIOR AND
IS A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE PROBLEM.
She should be prosecuted to the fullest extend of the law.
FIRST OFF THESE PEOPLE WERE SHOT BECAUSE SHE SIGNED
FOR THIS MONEY SCAM……IF NOT FOR HER SIGNATURE THE WHOLE
THING WOULD HAVE BEEN MOOT!!
Probably some of the people shot didn't have insurance and WE
THE TAX PAYERS HAD TO PICK UP THE BILL. ALL this immature
garbage just makes me want to cringe. There are no half measures
we can do about anything anymore. CRIMINALS have taken over
our streets and our public buiildings and I HAVE LOST PATIENCE
FOR WAITING FOR IDIOTS TO TAKE CHARGE……AND LEAD US
BACK OUT OF THESE DARK AGES.

Horrific, If you have been reading all comments pertaining to this matter from the beginning, then you know that what was apparently a member of this group, posted a comment that said, “If there was enough jobs to go around down here we wouldn’t be havins to rent these buildings to make money”.
The point here is, take away the Alcohol and you take away the money making object.
The Security Guards job won’t be to have a shoot out with people who start firing in a crowd of people, as to many lives would be in danger.
His job will be to enforce the rules of the City of Century contract.
Since no Alcohol is one of the rules, these people won’t rent these buildings again.
The problem here is that these people are gonna look for another building for these illegal parties if no one is arrested for the crimes that were committed here.
Marthe Tims is gonna be just another pawn here that was coaxed into signing a contract for the building. There’s gonna be a kingpin behind the illegal parties and it could even be Gang related.
Martha Tims needs to start talking to the investigators or otherwise take the rap herself for the crimes committed here.
