Thumbs down Suggestion

It is not "Rocket Science" as a solution is to have a Sheriff Deputy at the square observing the behaviors at the main bars at Lake Sumter which are mobbed in most evenings. The ones at risk are the innocent people driving or in carts on the carts paths who may be injured or killed because of the idiot drunk who did not know enough to stop or have someone drive for them. We have a couple of retired Addiction Counselor's in the family and when we drive by the bars in the evening it is always commented regarding the poor people these idiots may hit. Why the Sheriff is not assigning someone to observe these area's is a mystery. Have they been told not to because of the negative publicity, are they just ignoring the problem exists as everyone can observe the drunks walking around with open containers, etc? As a side point the largest area of increases in drinking problems are people over 60 not the youth.
