in a city with approx 36,000 people.
in a city with approx 36,000 people.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
There are so many people who are unaware of all the crime here until they become a victim or know someone who was. Then they start to take an interest. No one talks about it--not even our elected officials. This subject would put our city in a bad but truthful light. Sometimes we learn of a specific when watching local television. We shouldn't be afraid of walking on a city street. We shouldn't have to look over our shoulder when taking out the garbage. We shouldn't be afraid of sitting at an outdoor cafe and have our necklace ripped off our neck. Should we all be "packing?" Has our society fallen so low that people need to look both ways when exiting their front door? Don't we pay enough for safety? Now we have young kids who have taken over Bryant Park for daily soccer and every other word out of their mouths is "Fucccccccccck." This is what's happening in Lake Worth. Can anything be done about this in the New Year or do the losers keep on chipping away at our city?

Good question. Nothing is being done about it. I rarely see a cop car. Actually I see more volunteer cop cars than real ones.
ReplyDeleteGet the Hells Angels in here to clean up the place.....oops I mean the Guardian Angels. You need a visible and vocal presence on the streets to help deter some of the crime. its going to take a combination of things to send a message to the bad guys that LW isn't a pushover city.
ReplyDeleteAt least you dont have the Cocaine Cowboys of the 70's that Miami had.
At least not yet!
A very multi-faceted problem! A society where everybody else is to blame. Few father figures.No one home raising the kids. In the past , everybody was your Mom or Dad. Woe to those who 's Mom had gotten a phone call saying"Do you know what your son/daughter did "? Hillary Clinton said "it takes a village",but now if you even look cross eyed at a rude kid you can get sued.Not speaking the language is also a problem in Lake Worth.The English speaking kids are running the show, not the non-English speaking parents. The cops have been put between a rock and a hard place by the Obama administration. The mantra for the criminal is not "I'm sorry", but "I have rights" ! On the other hand-we can't afford to keep paying MILLIONS to what amounts to a clean up crew with a badge that shows up after the fact. When the only time that you are seeing a cop in your neighborhood is when they come to dust for prints, then something is VERY WRONG.Maybe instead of rotating the police, they need to be long-term assigned to an area. And, like teachers, their pay should be tied to how much crime happens in their area. If the people teaching our children have to live under this system, then maybe it's time that the people policing our children do too .
ReplyDeleteHelp! It is horrible, crime is out of control. The PBSO are not taking it seriously at all, then the attitude. Try to call in to them, they keep you waiting on the line forever or they disconnect you. I am so disappointed with the PBSO in this city.
ReplyDeleteThe illegals and immigrants are out of control, drunk all over, blasting their music,honking horns, the quality of life here sucks, do the PBSO or elected care?
Then all the druggies and dealers and prostitutes hanging on the corners and up and down Dixie, it is nasty here.
What are the PBSO doing?
We are not seeing results, we do not have a good quality of life here in this city. It is lawless and out of control.
White flight is coming I am afraid, that is what PBSO want it seems.
The Guatemalans are losing respect because of how they behave in this city, blasting music, drunk all over, loud, disrespectful, drunk at 9am and still drinking, their fireworks and drunkenness is crazy, and the city and PBSO do not have control of it. I can understand why people have lost respect for the PBSO and the Guat population. The illegals and immigrants need to up their game and behave better in this city, they are making themselves look bad for all of them, although it is not all of them, just a big majority. The Guats seem to have a huge alcoholic problem in their culture. They need a lot of AA in this city for all these drunks.
ReplyDeleteWhat are the real restriction the police have to live by when dealing with the illegals in this city? It seems they avoid or are not enforcing laws for them, are the police restricted? Is that why the city is so lawless? Will Lake Worth completely deteriorate until Lakeside or College Park, it seems to be creeping east, keeps spreading, the crime is going to get so bad, that soon Lake Worth Towers will not attract seniors to live in that neighborhood anymore then they will need to turn LWT into project 8 housing for all the poor, immigrants, and it will all only get worse. It all seems to be trending this way, crime is out of control and spreading and not addressed.
ReplyDeleteThe PBSO was taking heat from civil rights groups. This summer, Bradshaw decided not to even hold illegals for ICE unless ordered to do so by a judge. This is what our world is coming to. This is why our city looks the way it does. Liberals and left-wing socialists are the problem. It's a mess.
ReplyDelete"Now we have young kids who have taken over Bryant Park for daily soccer and every other word out of their mounts is "Fucccccccccck."" Hahaha. ....
ReplyDeleteThe other day I almost killed one of these kids too, illegal or son of one. Said the same to me, "what the f**k?" yet they were on a skateboard on the downtown sidewalk, flying down the sidewalk, the city light was broken and you could not see this guy all in black, and he flew out of no where on his skateboard, and I almost killed him. They are all over on bikes too riding the opposite direction on one way streets, there is no order or laws here, anything goes here, out of control, what is this city going to become?
ReplyDeleteI guess we need to move to Palm Beach island, it is too lawless here in Lake Worth.
Where are the cops in this city? Why aren't they present enough?
ReplyDeleteDo you see something wrong with the law and this article? Then we wonder why?????......
ReplyDeleteFlorida's fireworks laws: What's legal, and what's not?

So you wanna blow stuff up. After all, Saturday is the Fourth of July. "Rockets' red glare," and all that.

Florida Legislature 2014:
Just make sure you're safe — and we don't just mean physically (although there were 11 fireworks-related deaths across the country last year). Fireworks laws kick into high gear this weekend, so learn the rules or risk trading your liberty for a stay at the Iron Bar Hotel.
What can I use?
In Florida, it's illegal to buy, sell or explode consumer fireworks — even on your own property — unless you (A) have a city permit to shoot off fireworks for the public to enjoy; (B) will use the explosives to scare off birds from a farm or fish hatchery; or (C) you work on a railroad and need to light or clear a path for your train. The state defines "fireworks" to include standard fireworks, projectile fireworks, launchable rockets with stands, M-80s and bottle rockets.
How much trouble could I be in?
Up to a year in prison, a $1,000 fine and court costs.
Why would the store let me buy something illegal? They must know I don't have a fish hatchery!
"The law is what the law is. It's not up to us to police it," said Sharon Hunnewell-Johnson, president of Galaxy Fireworks. Like most fireworks shops, Galaxy sells all sorts of goodies that are technically illegal to the public: The Goliath, a pack of two mortars with 36 shells, goes for $99.95. The Fully Loaded set of four 4-inch tubes goes for $129.95. "These are considered our show stoppers, grand finales," says sales associate Pam Schimmelpfenning. "Most people like to shoot them at the end because they're the biggest and the most explosive."

ReplyDeleteHahaha
Actually I gave that cap to Scott Maxwell a few years ago--thought it more appropriate for him.
