.........I see that this Applebees shooting as PROOF positive with respect to my theory expressed in the 1st paragraph about SAFETY and vulnerability. I honestly and firmly believe that TV Land needs new and innovative methods (and top-level thinking) to deal with the problem that OUR LOCAL SENIORS are VERY vulnerable to CRIME. Applebees was SHOT UP. A local restaurant was SHOT UP !!!!!!
.........The US murder rate is INCREASING. Does anyone really believe that this Applebee's incident will ONLY happen maybe once every TEN YEARS.........NO WAY !!!! Crime ( and incidentally hurricanes) is going to keep INCREASING right here in our little (FORMERLY SAFE) little chunk of paradise called The Villages.
..........Without more CRIME PREVENTING technology and solid well trained additional Police personnel the sign greeting Villages will have to be changed from "Friendliest Home Town" to "Active War Zone".
...........And that was a VERY good point that was brought up about the excessive consumption of alcohol which has been a historic building block of LA, lA LAND life from day one. Right now we have extremely high traffic congestion and when you add the combustible mix of excess alcohol worship - you get problems that video recordings and ADEQUATE Police and their PRESENCE can help avoid.
.........And if and when the "powers that be" add the "EVERYBODY PACKING", disaster in the making, provisions to the law .........WELL, baby, we are going to have a REAL SNITSHOW !!!!!

I think you have led a far too sheltered life!
