Been here for many years. The Kool-aid drank around here comes in a bottle titled self-entitlement. The arguments I've seen over parking spaces, golf balls, chairs in the squares, exercise equipment, etc. are so common that when I read this I was numb to the details. And, nowadays, I can't seem to have a restaurant meal without some table arguing. Usually the mine is better than yours scenario. Who cares what you own? Welcome to the Villages!

Ill accept the arguments, the sniping and the anger.

I find it astonishing that retired people here resort to violence

I find it more astonishing that you (or anyone else) would be astonished. This is a community of 150,000 transplants from other places, most of whom had never met each other before moving in. Of course there will be criminals, violent people, drunks, drug addicts, unwed mothers, uneducated people, bigots, racists, sex offenders, antisemites.

There are more good people than there are bad, in my opinion. But no one should be astonished to learn that the bad exist.

Right! Why some people think this is the land of sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows amazes me too! It's like they never were around grumpy/hostile elderly people before moving here.
News Flash! No one is checking anyone's background information before letting them purchase a home. I think some of those overly cheerful YouTubers who try to sell "the Villages is perfect" scenario along with the well-trained Villages sales staff are to blame. Where have you ever been that is "perfect"?

For some reason, and the first time to be exact, I agree with the OrangeBlossomLady.
I'm getting soft...:shocked:

OMG, I'm going back to read that post ... it could be a FIRST for most all of us!

(Is it OrangeBlossomLady or OrangeBlossomBaby? Are they one and the same? Yeah, must be ... there couldn't possibly be 2 people going down those tracks.)

Not a crime wave more like an unfortunate incident.
Now that I have read about it, not sure what I am supposed to do.

Unfortunate incident? You are being too kind. The man thought his Lexus was hit. It was not! When you choose to love/worship your material objects more than people you need to have your head checked. Unfortunately, his family members and friends probably enabled his behavior. He should have been told (and often) a car is just a car. It doesn't bring prestige or the like. It takes money out of your pocket and insurance premiums to pay. Nothing more! If it gets damaged, you get it fixed. It's only an object.

Truth is millions of people own a Lexus. He is not "that special". Anyone can go to a store and buy one if they want to. I feel sorry for the families. Both lost a loved one. One to unnecessary violence the other because a man loved his Lexus. Sad!
