So, four guys come up to rob one person and that one person punches one of the four and they all run away? C'mon!

And a friend of a friend whose first cousin was told by some guy in the parking lot...

I told the editor of the name we can't type and she hasn't put anything up about it.

Cops arriving said that the 4 had been involved in 4 separate incidences in that area close to Best Buy

Strange you never hear any of this in the Daily Sun

So now we have another "hearsay" story with no timeline( when- last week -last month-last year?) and not reported by any newssource that can be quoted. Why do we want to create this kind of dialog?

Seems we are disappointed is there is not bad stuff to talk about!

Nowhere have I read that the Daily Sun is intended to be a full-service newspaper. It is a "good news" and community activity oriented publication targeted at Senior Disney World residents and vacationers. It is what it is. For the price that is charged, I do not see how anybody could feel entitled to ask for more. Do you complain to Readers Digest when they fail to cover the Olympics?

I was going to complain to Readers Digest about their abysmal Olympic coverage, but then I changed doctors. The new one has Sports Illustrated in their office so I steamed the stamp off the envelope and saved $.49.

As a second thought, is there even still such a thing as a Readers Digest?

Yep. Even comes in LARGE PRINT

So no merit to this possible issue?...if we all posted what goes on in our hometowns, no one would sleep. I don't worry about things I can not change.

That looks like a great site, thank-you but.....
I'm having trouble with the site. I'm just trying to see the local crime. Do I need to sign up for email alerts to use the service? I get this message.

Nawww. Don't sign up. Read here on this forum about crime committed and not reported. Every once in awhile it is true and it gives us something to worry about.

would you want your loved one going to Arby's and NOT know that robbery happened?

Dr Winston O Boogie jr 08-11-2014 11:11 AM

The Daily Sun is a great source for keeping up on what's going on in The Villages as far as recreation, entertainment and human interest stories.

I don't know of anyone who sees it as a true newspaper. I don't think that it was ever intended to be.

There are many other outlets that cover the hard news in The Villages. One is an online newspaper that, for some reason unbeknownst to most of us, we're evidently not allowed to mention on this forum.

If you're looking for the hard news in the Daily Sun, you are looking in the wrong place. If you don't want what their selling, don't buy it.

As far as crime goes, we have one of the lowest crime rates in the world. But that doesn't mean that there is no crime. We do have some undesirables living amongst us. I know of a few in my own neighborhood and they scare me. So we still have to be on alert, just not as much so as if we were living in a large metropolitan area. Just use common sense.

We dont even know whether this really happened. Someone met someone who told them someone was robbed by 4 guys, and single handedly fought them off.

No news reports in any media(yet cited). I cant believe that this is a conspiracy by the news outlets to hide crimes. An origional post of this kind is not responsible communication in a forum like this and becomes part of the "cry wolf" story



Do crimes happen in or near TV ,yes. Do people like to spread sensational rumors, yes. Lets stick to the facts:MOJE_whot:
