Someone spoke at the rally in front of Dunkin' Donuts and said the same thing.
There was a big crowd there. The police and community watch blocked the street. The manager of Dunkin' Donuts handed out coupons to everyone on the sidewalk. I thought that was a very smart business move.
There were clipboards circulating and people were signing their names to the blank paper, but there wasn't anything written on the "petition." I found the woman, Judy Reeves, who was circulating the paper for signatures and she said she was doing it for Elaine Dreidame, president of the Property Owners Association. According to Reeves, Dreidame said she may or may not use the signatures. Reeves said Dreidame said it will depend on what happens at the POA meeting.
I also spoke on the phone to Ronald Brown, the owner of the property which abuts TV's property. I told him we were discussing the issue here and gave me permission to quote him and to tell you what he told me. He said he didn't put up the wall and it isn't on his property.
"I was surprised and shocked. I have no control over that area and I'm very disappointed. I have no jurisdiction over that area. For 10 or 12 years, I've allowed everyone to cross my property without any problems," Brown said.
"I know who did it, but I'm not going to say. I think it was wrong and I wish they'd be open and honest and tell the truth. It is disappointing to hear. They must have known it would be a firestorm, so to speak. I'd like to get the facts out that it wasn't me. I had nothing to do with it."
