What surprises me is that so many - by Villages standards - underage adults with criminal histories are Villagers. It does not surprise me that they continue to commit crimes, though. That is what criminals do. Certainly a few seniors collect DUI's, swipe cigars and take their own lives when their future looks hopeless but statistically, nationwide and no doubt worldwide, those who commit the most felonies and violent crimes are young adult males.

Considering their relatively small numbers these young Villagers appear to be committing a large percentage of the crimes taking place in The Villages. I want to know who they are, what they look like and where they reside so I can either avoid them or protect myself from them whenever possible.

I agree.

Yesterday a 72 year old villager's picture was in the online news for domestic violence. Maybe THAT will shame him enough to not do it again. Probably not, but at least his neighbors know what kind of man he is.
