The question was whether anything can be done about "bad" people who reside in our community and continue to expose others to their bad behavior. I don't understand why some want to avoid setting or try to set boundries but so be it. I agree, close the thread and go back to accepting what ever comes. :popcorn:

I read the police blotter every Monday. Better than 95% of the reported crimes are from residents of Wildwood, Fruitland Park, Oxford, Weirsdale, etc. A VERY small minority are identified as Village residents. With all due respect, I suggest you might read the blotter a little more carefully. Out of all the reported incidents in yesterday's police blotter, there were probably only two or three (don't remember exactly) who were Village residents, one was for petit theft and one was for DUI.

I am not suggesting there is no crime in the area, there certainly is, but I think you might be overstating the amount of crime committed by Village residents. If I am wrong, please let me know where you get this info about all this crime being perpetuated by TV residents.

Petit theft, the theft from the little people, or the theft of gnomes? :evil6:

It is your thread and you can end it, Cappy. Happy New Year. When are you two going to stop by?

Happy New year's to You GG. I am a little reluctant to end it, I don't want anybody to feel that they didn't get a chance to chime in with their thoughts (and I am very curious to find out about all the convicted felons residing in TV as mentioned by a previous poster).

Hopefully we'll get to meet you at the next Crispers luncheon!

The question would have been a fair one if it had been asked in a friendly TOTV community spirit without the smart*** tone.

146 ( now 147) posts on an "attempted robbery by gunpoint"? Back where we came from there were dozens of serious crimes like this PER DAY and it wasn't even a big city........

Just sayin.......

:spoken:

I know of a retired M.D. who lives here that says that seniors are very fearful. Very.

I know some who definitely are fearful. I'm not. Maybe I'm foolish.

I take it you have had some annoying issues with healthcare. I understand that. It ain't cheap anymore.

No. I meant that seniors have some difficulty with fear in general. It may be due to some disturbance with the chemical levels of serotonin in the brain.

If a person is suffering from abnormal fear, he/she does not look at it as abnormal fear and will argue that it is just using common sense to address the perceived danger. Just as a person who is hoarding does not look at it as hoarding but just keeping items that can be used eventually.

Fear is NOT a character weakness in this case, or a reaction to social issues. It appears to be a symptom of aging in some cases.

If we have it, we probably don't think we have it...

Gotta go see if I locked the front door.....
