When the video starts by identifying a St Charles place home as a mobile home you can guess what follows. Words cannot describe the video adequately. This is recent

A hit piece. Sensationalism at its finest, and the truth be damned.

Area churches filling Christmas shoeboxes for underprivileged children, Villagers volunteering to tutor local children, "honey-do" programs where Villagers with physical handicaps preventing them from doing basic things like shopping, yardwork and light maintenance can depend on the help of other Villagers to do those things, etc., are far more characteristic of The Villages than this piece of garbage, but unfortunately people click on the garbage first. Sleaze sells. People helping people often doesn't.

As Winston Churchill once observed, "a lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can get its pants on". And American society 2024 version seems to have an insatiable appetite for the lies.

I read some of the transcript. Pure BS about what he repeatedly calls Suter County. Or, what the transcript writer calls Suter County. The speaker may be saying Sumter.

Or. ....he doesn't live here and is jealous..........Or....he is a realtor and can't sell new builds.............or he thinks that just because there is a majority of people here with similar ideas, that they are bad ideas, or he is a developer for another over 55 area..................OR................he is a danged kid...a little snot, who hasn't been........ummmm I guess I can use the word; Redirected?!!?

Perhaps he works for ABC.

I do not get out much but only remember one fist fight between Villagers. This was at a local dog park over some petty disagreement and one of those involved worked weekends at the antique warehouse in Mt. Dora. We have been in the Villages since July of 2005.

I got through about 5:00 before deciding enough neurons had been damaged by that weapons-grade ignorance.

Report the video to youtube so we can get this hateful video removed

[MrChip72]

I'm surprised that there's very few comments on the YouTube post pointing out the specific inaccuracies.

I was listening to this video but there was so much bull **** in it that I had to stop half way. The narrator often confuses the whole of Sumter county with The Villages portion, not realizing that TV is actually made up of other counties too. He takes 5 or 6 case out of a population of 150,000 to try to illustrate as a common occurrence… etc etc. it is HE that is looking for a confrontation. I would guess paid by a competitor?

Every time you create threads like this and post links to what is, IMO, a troll piece.....you ‘let the bad guys win’!
TV, with its 150K pop., has had documentaries, movies, videos and local ‘fish wraps’ creating similar narratives and editorials for years. Yet at least here on this forum, it’s the same dozen or so that comment on it and create the ‘buzz’...where is the outrage from the super majority of Villages residents? It doesn’t exist because content ‘creators’ like this know their audience. I fall into the super majority of....who cares! Save your energy for the next one....which we all know there will be others by the aforementioned....except when it does, go for a walk/run/swim, play pickle ball or a round of golf....and let it slide!

The guys sounds like he barely graduated the 8th grade.

Huh. I haven't lived here long but the people I've met have been very friendly and fun to get to know.

I'm looking forward to meeting more people in the classes, clubs and activities that I've signed up for and have loved every minute of living here!
