At best I would consider them an enabler, but that may even be going too far. However, it is in the owner's power and interest to take a more proactive approach when confronted with issues like these because yes indeed the citizens and city do have the rights to remove it. Wally's has no more right to infringe on the public's well being than the public has. It just so happens that it's Wally's and its hang-out posse who are under the microscope and not the neighbors or commuters who are getting shot at. Your last statement is a complete red-herring and has no basis within in this premise so I'll kindly ignore that one, but be careful asking that to an ethical egoist!Folwell Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14095306726028993319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143409168229764050.post-89679058395796993162010-06-24T15:24:32.243-05:002010-06-24T15:24:32.243-05:00I don't doubt that removing a store that thugs...I don't doubt that removing a store that thugs visit causes them to move along. My argument is still that the store is not the cause of the crime. The property owner hasn't even the right to remove persons from off premises areas, especially public right of way or "power boxes". So if we tear down Wally's the thugs may move down the road but that does not mean that Wally's is the cause or that you have a right to infringe on the owners property rights and pursuit of happiness. If this was true it would be just as proper to round up and shoot anyone with a long white t-shirt. It would probably reduce crime but wouldn't be the right thing to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143409168229764050.post-43702643168878313742010-06-24T15:20:18.165-05:002010-06-24T15:20:18.165-05:00What the naysayers are saying is that if Wally'...What the naysayers are saying is that if Wally's didn't exist on that corner we would still see the same/current correlation between 911/311 calls and the people who utilize that intersection on a daily basis.

It was the first time every there where no kids selling drugs in the parking lot, they were across the street hollerin as I walked in. I told the store worker how nice it was to not be acosted as I walked in and he snmiled and nodded. Then as I walked out one of the juvi drug dealer rolled over on his bike and just as he said something, the others across the street started with "De De here the come!", talking about some cops sneeking up through a vacent lot. I just laughed and kept walking. The kids pretended like the where just danceing and moved down the road.

This is the sound your ass is going to make when you finally pull your head out of it. This is not a black, white, or brown thing here this is dangerous criminal behavior. What this article implies by deductive reasoning and sound logic, is that Wally's is the hub for the said criminal behavior. If you can deduce otherwise please do. It would probably make everyone feel better. Until then quite race baiting. The same goes for people who confuse the word "diversity" with "criminal behavior".

"Liberal Lakes" needs to change its criteria for problem/ nuisance properties. Now, before anyone starts talking about Constitutional rights, yadda, yadda, yadda, think for a moment if these property owners even care about your Constitutional rights. Whether or not this is due to the property owner's own apathy for your rights, or fear of reprisal from coward thugs. These problem properties have no place in our neighborhoods, and should be dealt with more swiftly than the current protocol. Unfortunately, the same Constitutional rights cover your thug neighbors too, but we all know how they feel about your rights already.Folwell Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14095306726028993319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143409168229764050.post-71280001408273606522010-06-23T10:31:26.459-05:002010-06-23T10:31:26.459-05:00Your right John.
