The Villages Florida
That horrible woman instigated the unfortunate white power response which I almost missed watching the entire video. President Trump's team pulled it down three hours after it was posted, as soon as they realized the man's response to being relentlessly taunted and verbally assaulted by the vilest profanity imaginable coming from the piehole in the ugly mug of that disgusting obese old bat standing in front of his cart, blocking his passage. Honestly, I would have been strongly tempted to run her over or shoot her. I appreciate his forbearance.

She went on to yell the F word at every single cart as it went by throughout the length of the video. She is beyond disgusting. I hope she moves out of TV as she stated she hates it here on the video. That would make TV even better.

Of course the MSM picked up on one man's response when he literally could take no more. It reminded me of a cruel person poking a dog with a stick until it snarls back at its taunter. Even a calm and cool person can only take so much.

My point exactly! The video was out there for a while yet most people did not know about it until The President re-tweeted it, for the purpose of stirring the pot. These kind of Tweets make him feel good but at the same time, the pot boiled over on The Villages.

But then, I'm a pollyanna. I believe we all have the right to be treated in a decent manner no matter what color is our skin. I was lucky to have parents who were color blind and we brought our children up the same way. If the person screaming White Power was blind he would have no idea of black or white! It is learned behavior and has no place in our world.
how black people feel or whether there should be more demonstrations or how much money or what kind of job they had.. . Well I can’t speak for black people . . anymore then I can for white people either

We all knelt or tried to for the over 8 minutes it took George to die , the service was over at 2:30! I was one of last to leave the bandstand because of catching up with an old friend when I got to Barnes and Noble parking lot to get in my car the golf cart parade was still forming at 3pm It’s been said and I’ve overheard the last couple of weeks that this was a spillover from out memorial , nothing could be father from the truth
Kneel for George, really. How about kneeling for the police officers killed every day. How about kneeling for the military who come back with no legs and arms. How about kneeling for all women being abused, something like George holding a gun to a pregnant woman’s stomach. I do not condone anyone being killed but let’s be real. “George” was a felon, a convicted felon. Should he have died in the hands of a police officer, no. Should we make him a hero and talk about his legacy, what legacy. If anyone wants their cause to be taken seriously I suggest stop making “George” the second Jesus.

Otherwise it was old news from a week or so ago.

The story was not about The Villages, but it does bring "unwanted" press to us.
You can thank the President for the negative publicity.

No, we saw it. We just realized that the old lady instigating most of the nastiness was probably not mentally o.k., to put it mildly. We also realized that the retort from the one man being harassed was not representative of the entire community.

The video has simply gotten revived attention because the president retweeted it as if to say: "We see what is happening out there."

I am so sick of hearing people talk to others in such a disparaging way. I have no energy for that type of nonsense and I wish that everyone could get along. TV is mostly a relaxed, peaceful place filled with retirees who are there because they want to play pickle ball, golf and make friends with others going through the same life stage. I have no room in my heart for all of this nasty controversy and I refuse to be embroiled in it.

It is amazing that all of these so called black heroes have a rap sheet a mile long. Would think they could come up with a honest citizen to get behind.

It does not matter to me what side you are on. Behavior that was displayed by supposedly grown educated adults was embarrassing to me. It took some doing but I finally convinced my friends and relatives that Leisureville was not at all representative of TV. Here we go again.

The mainstream media chose to ignore the two loudmouth profanity laced woman, they didn't fit with the message they wanted to convey.

MSM This is not News - Honoring the President on his Birthday!!!


The Villages Florida

Negative Image of Biden Supporters - Not News!!

The Villages Florida

This is News, people shouting makes Headlines!!!

While the recent rise of Covid cases has pushed back our planned next trip to The Villages, with the hope of finding the home we want to purchase, like many other people across the country we are concerned about a lot of things that are going on these days.
