At this point I am grieving the death of my brother in law and I am angry that in all the archives I have yet to hear anyone complain about the guns. The death of my brother in law was not the first incident of gun violence there has been many more but this one hit home. My sons last summer August 2007 witnessed for the first time gun presence in the park in the South. I rarely would let them go outside because the kids have gotten wilder and have little to no respect. It was a mid sunny Sunday afternoon and there was security presence but they were busy talking amongest themselves and timing the cars that were parked illegally due to the lack of parking spaces. The harassment the tickets issued for parking. I remember that kids who walked the streets alone were stopped and asked questions. Tickets were handed out for unruly conduct, walking a dog, riding your bike on the sidewalk. Parkchester safe unless you spend minmumal time in the area then it may be. I was applaud when my neighbor started abusing illicit drugs and the fumes we so potent that I myself had to move my family out. When I reported this to Parkchester Mgmt they said they could not do nothing its within their home. Only if it disturbs others quality of life. Really well I was getting sick but they suggested to call the police. The police said that that was an issue for Parkchester. No one cares no one wants to do more. Our children are in jeopardy, parents are working longer hours and the attitude is ust OH WELL. This same attitude took my brother in laws life--since when does a verbal dispute lead to a death.
On a separate note last year June a HS kid gets shot in the head the day before his graduation because he refused to join a gang. How many more deaths, how many more families are going to grieve, when are those who get paid to secure or protect really going to do their jobs. When is Parkchester going to start and build the big recreation center for these children. When are adults going to be civil and not be spiteful and damage other peoples vechiles due to limited parking spaces. Parkchester has these reports why haven't they really acted upon this issues. The list can go on but enough of raising the problems and saying I know it is about time SOMETHING IS DONE! Remove yourself from positions if you are not planning to be a solution!
