To BMR, I get so tired of hearing people complaining about Law enforcement not being out here in the North end. They are out here and what do you epect? You choose to live in an area that is way out and away from everything. I love living out here and I know that there is Law Enforcement in our area, just not as many because of where we CHOOSE to live… Stop Complaining or move somewhere else where there is Law Enforcement riding around everywhere. Find something to do …

I also walk this park. I have seen teens sitting in cars when I arrive. I think the county shoud clean up the tables and place cameras there to catch the culprits the next time. Also a neigborhood watch is not a bad thing. Some of the houses are close I am not so sure these were Bratt kids..

the main point here is……people put their time and money to fix this park and these kids have no respect for it. They should have to do community service work where they put in thier own time to do something good for others….where the money comes from is their problem…momma and daddy ? At least if momma and daddy had to pay, they may keep a closer eye on their little “angels?????”.

wow just because kids wrote on this means there thugs. Im sorry but dont judge kids just by what they write because half of these kids i know and they make A’s and B’s in school, and half of them go to yalls churches.

After reading your comment, it looks as if you know who did this crime. So please, if you do; then at least talk with them and get them to go fix back what they destroyed.
Maybe they should be turned in and pay for such destruction.
They do have paper, pencil or pen and paints for such if people want to draw, write and or do the graffiti… Get a life folks and quit messing up the stuff that us tax payers are trying to have nice stuff for you all…

I couldn’t have stated it anymore clearer myself David! Well,said and to the point, if only other would relieze what was done was a crime, they could have written a love poem out there or painted a picture, it would still be a CRIME!

REGARDING:
“wow just because kids wrote on this means their thugs. I’m sorry but don’t judge kids just by what they write because half of these kids I know and they make A’s and B’s in school, and half of them go to y’alls’ churches – - – these kids are actually great kids who don’t get in trouble”

You do what you are.
You are what you do.

It isn’t making certain grades which makes people thugs, it’s doing bad things.

It isn’t what they write, it’s that they wrote it on public property, thus stealing from the enjoyment of the general public.

It isn’t whether or not they go to church, it’s what’s in their hearts and souls which makes them thugs.

If they are caught, they WILL get in trouble. They will get caught because their friends also seem to lack wisdom and tell them how “great“ they are for doing such things.

David for smarter friends

These comments are quite interesting to read…between those that give support to the music and message of the artist as in no way shaping what happened at the park and those who feel it did contribute to what happened. Remember in the internet world you can post here and be anyone you want to be. Only those who can truly investigate web traffic and online search profiles will likely be able to find the guilty party. And it is correct to know the person or persons who did this can’t and won’t be able to just keep it to themselves. Music and tv does have an influence on you…good or bad…but as others have stated so does a home life or lack of home life with parental involvement. What can I do to clean up the park so the culprits realize we won’t just roll over and complain about it? I am happy to do something but I would like some help to clean up the park. It’s a great place and we need to show its value to the community.

Thank you Zacs mom , thats good to know. Now that I hopefully have an adults attention. Do you really want him to identify himself with these kind of persons ? I may not know him or I may , but I am old enough and young enough to know that following these kind of ideals are not healthy. I am glad school is good for him. It’s something that’s a must in this world. Maybe the two of you can do some homework together , Look up juggola on the Internet.

Yes, I had my two little girls’ birthday party there last weekend and I couldn’t believe all the nasty graffiti all over the tables, ground and buildings. It is such a lovely park but I was disgusted to see this. It is sad that our kids cant play without seeing horrible words all over the place. I did notice teenagers showing up at dark when we were cleaning up. I hope they catch whoever is doing this. It is such a shame.
