But this is exactly what I was talking about in my last post. People post things like this with no facts to back them up.

Like I say, from looking a the online news daily, I get the impression that people over 55 cause as much trouble as younger people. Another thing that I notice is that many of the younger people who do get in trouble are not Villages residents, but live in surrounding communities such as Lady Lake, Summerfield and Wildwood.

I honestly believe that is a myth that we have a huge problem with young people running amok and causing all kinds of problems.

Exactly...
When you actually look carefully, the younger Village residents commit far more crime proportionally.
