Well, while I agree with you on putting out a number without checking the facts...one
indisputable fact is that we do have gangs in our city. Doesn't matter if there are 20
members, or 200. Either can cause alot of bad things to happen, and no matter how many
are physically here at one time, they are connected to people in other communities. So,
let's say there are 20 bloods in AP, another 20 in Neptune, and 20 more in Lakewood.
Don't you realize that gangs are big in the drug biz, and members seek out others in all of
these towns to do business?
Are you for sugar coating the truth to attract new business's?
Do you think it's right to hide the facts from prospective new residents, or business's that
might consider moving to AP? I don't. Gangs and crime are a fact of life here. That's the
real issue, and I think argueing about public opinion about our town is pointless. AP has
had a bad reputation for 30 years, maybe more.

The town is too small in size and 200 would represent a rather large percentage meaning
that gang crime is out of control. People have risked everything to create businesses, fix
homes etc. This do-gooder must realize his words can cause damage.

should show his facts. I don't think people have a problem with him saying that gang
members reside in town. It is when he goes on a new broadcast and starts ramblining
numbers. Why? So he can show he is going to save the town with basketball programs?
More homeless shelters? Rent control? All his intentions are good just not for ocean
front
property.
