I can't believe how racist you are all being! Trust me white people attack all the time too! Diversity doesn't create crimes. lack of knowledge, lack of understanding, lack of self worth creates crime. Have you ever thought what impact it would of had on you to have white people constantly jumping when you just walk into room? After a while you ,might just start to feel like a worthless person. Feeling invalued and hated might just make you turn to hateful actions too. No excuse for their action

When will the City leaders see that the push for the great "Diversity" in our community is harming the citizens. Now they are giving money to help people own some of the Lakeside condos. Excuse me, the Dolphin Enclay Condo. You ever wonder why they are on welfare in the first place. Keep giving they keep taking and some people in this town justify their job. All Council members need to live on Lakeside Dr, city housing of course.
