Tell me you are joking. Claiming the victim deserved it, I've heard it all...

Do you think she will call that a joke. If it's one of her offspring that gets the shooey pounded out of them I am having a hard time imagining her claiming it as "just a joke".

Where are you getting this from?

The only thread I've seen where someone claimed "the victim deserved it" was when Git Real excoriated that teenager for getting shot and killed at a party.

The fact that in that case the victim was African-American and the shooter was white had nothing to do with it, I'm sure. Not a thing. Nope.

about a shooter in this forum.

The lady on here claims the 14 year old must have done something to "piss them off".

That's what I'm referring to. That, if you ask me, is saying the criminals were not at fault, as they were "pissed off" and had to retaliate with violence, 3 on 1.

Read it over again- I did not say he deserved it. Stop assuming!

You tell me what it means.

"I am sure that the 14 year old boy had done something to piss them off."

Those guys who jumped him must think they are real tough. They let a little 14 year old "piss them off".

What you said was, “but I know he did something to provoke it”.
So where do you get off saying that?

Big momma needs to answer for her ignorance.

Where does she get off stating, “but I know he did something to provoke it”.

Answer the question!

This is probably from someone that has never been a victim of a random crime. I'm sure if she is robbed and assulyed she will think long and hard about what she did to provopke it.

Some people are just EVIL. Some liberals can not fathom that.

I am sorry- you don't know what I have been through! Sorry!

Oh do not cry on this Blog it is not ment for a baby. Or git real will pull a lion on you.

So your saying the kid deserved to be beat up by 3 black thugs? Give me a break. Black people never fight fare. Theres always a crowd, and if there isnt, then theres a gun. Funny how most crimes are committed by black males.

How will it ever get better, if we always look to the person who did the crime as the victim......

I am sure these kids just added fuel to your fire, but I still say you should not judge all based on the actions of some.

Ensure Domestic Tranquility

Yea the kid probably did do somthing to provoke it. I'm not saying he deserved to get beat up, but I'm sure there is more to the story. It's not like the kid is gonna go home and tell his parents what he was doing wrong. And why do black guys always have to get called "thugs"?

Yea the kid probably did do somthing to provoke it.

It is wildly illogical to assume a 14 year-old kid on the trails came upon a group of 3 men and did something to provoke them.

If the three young men simply approached him asking for a ride, the young man who was beaten could have said something to provoke the three. Though I think that would be quite silly on the one young man's part, considering the fact that he was there alone, but I have seen it happen. I am not trying to condone the behavior of the three.

Ensure Domestic Tranquility

Well to me it is wildly illogical to assume that 3 men would just come out of nowehere and just start beating up an innocent 14 year old boy...and then they didn't even take anything from him..so that obviously wasn't the motive..come on now.

But, it is a possibility the reason nothing was taken was because there was nothing to take. There are too many holes in this story.

Ensure Domestic Tranquility

Whether they “got something” or not, they probably did just for kicks. It’s either that or sit around someone’s house and get high and drink. They can’t have sex because there to stupid!

What?? You should proabably read through your comments before you post them.

I also read several other posts there were on here last week/last month.

It appears your total history is going on about 4 hours 23 min.

Well I'm sure that you did not read it because if you would have you surely wouldn't have posted somthing like that. "they can't have sex because they are to stupid"???what??? Anyways, not that it's any of your buisness but I do read comments on here daily. I just until today have not felt the need to reply to any of them, although in the past I have been rather frustrated with what some people have to say about certain issues.

This may be true in #s. Children are what they learn. As humans we all do what we know to do to servive. Step in and make a difference in someone life. The color is only skin deep.

At one time in the vary recent past, like last year, the Harmony Village apartment complex had the highest police call/incident rate of anywhere in PTC.

Call the PTCPD and ask em.

I did not say that they did not have crime there. I am not denying that. Of course they are going to have a higher crime rate than most places in Peachtree City. It is an apartment complex with a higher volume of people and traffic. That is common sense. I am just saying that yall are making it out to be a horrible place that needs to be bulldozed. It does not need to be closed down. For many people in Peachtree City it is one of the only affordable places to live. Everyone that lives there is not responsible for how a small percent of it's population chooses to act. I have heard about more crime in Balmoral Village lately than Harmony..Does that mean we need to close down all apartment complexes in Peachtree City then? Would everything be PERFECT then??? NO

That's a REALLY good idea. Thanks girl 5712!!!!!!

Like I said..Even if that happened everything still would not be perfect. Yall would still find somthing to sit on here and complain about. If yall can't deal with crime you should move somewhere less populated, like Alaska or Nebraska. Don't live in a city if you can't deal with crime!

5712 is your prison id number isn't it? No wonder you love crime.

When did I say that I loved crime?????? I said "crime is normal". Crime is normal...not good...normal. Why can't you understand that??? Normal meaning it happens everywhere. AND by the way I have never been in prison or been in trouble in my life. 5712 is my extention at work...YES I have a real job. I don't just sit at home all day and post comments on the citizen. If you don't understand what I'm talking about this time I give up. I don't have time to explain things to people more than 3 times.

The definitation of normal "Occurring naturally and not because of disease, inoculation, or any experimental treatment. Used of immunity. " Crime is not normal. It may happen everywhere, but, It does not occure naturally.

Reeeaaallllyyy? So let me see if I have this right: crime is normal and we should just put up with it?? Lol is 5712 your locker number or your home room number? Are you excited to start middle school next week?

Crime might be the "norm" for troubled thug kids, but it is not normal at all.
For the idiot who suggested the youth center again, that would be good except that the "angels" are not allowed to use illegal drugs or drink there. That is why the one in Fayetteville closed, get it they don't want supervision.

I know it isn't just the crimony villiage kids causing problems, but for the last 2 weeks it has been them, so they are getting the attention they want. I thought once you were convicted of a crime you were kicked out of section 8 housing? Does that only apply to the parents?
Why would anyone want these problems in their community? When I talk about the problems I mean the crime and it has nothing to do with race. (I don't care if you are puple, green or blue, race has nothing to with why the good people here are upset about crime. So stop playing the race card)

If crime is not normal tell me one city that does not have it. "Normal" does not mean it's fine. That is not what I said at all. You twisted everything that I said. And not that it is any of your business but I am grown and have a professional career. And when did I say anything about Race?? I don't believe that I mentioned race one time in my comment.

I think that a youth center would be a good idea, if it were properly supervised. The person that posted that is not an idiot, but an optimist. In Section 8 housing, I think that the rule on crime only affects the parents.

Ensure Domestic Tranquility

The center in Fayetteville closed due to lack of interest, because it was supervised. The good kids here already are involved in a ton of activities. The bad kids just want ot break the law no matter how many activities you throw at them.
I think it would be a waste of money. This city has many many activities for kids and adults. More than most cities. These kids need to stop complaining and get out there and get involved.

That was yrs ago. These teens were only in pre school. I heard it closed for other reasons. There is no such thing as a Bad kid, just a kid making bad choices. Some Kids it's the only way to be seen and heard. So, what would you do to change it. They don't change for that sweet little boy or girl over night. Teens need more attention and Love than when they were toddlers but on thier time terms. If they don't get it you can not expect them to be healthy adults. We all learn what we live . HUG A TEEN !!!! After all they pick your nursing home:)

I have no interest in my tax money being spent on some “center for board gang bangers” facility.

Not only would we have to spend hundreds of thousands getting it built we’ll have to hire another dozen police officers to baby sit the little darlings.

How about we just hold the parents of these precious little misunderstood, ignorant, drug dealing, sexually deprived, socially unacceptable deviants responsible. If just one member of the gang breaks the law the whole gang kits booted.

Tent city here we come.

If you are over 65 in fayette co you get a big tax break
While us parents(most under that age) of teens pay full price even if we do not use the public schools. Peer pressure works both ways the good keeps the others in line. they wouldn't let some ruin there good thing. Maybe we should just send them away at age 12 and invite them back to us about 25.
I love seniors but I don't want anymore of my tax dollars spent on seniors!
they have much more than the teens here in PTC

The people who use the services should pay more not less. That means no tax breaks or refunds for having more kids than you can afford.
You are sick of your tax dollars being spent on seniors. I am sick of my tax dollars being spent on a bunch of worthless thug kids who will never amount to anything. No one held a gun to your head and told you to have them. But now that you did, you pay for them, and any extra things you want for them(like a teen center).
After the summer we have been "treated " to here the only thing I want my tax dollars spent on is birthcontrol, and more police officers.

At least seniors pay tax. Kids with bad parents cause taxes to be spent.

I have no intention of paying taxes for someone else’s babysitter.

If parents can’t take care of their children, then they need to quit having them.

Now if the parents that really want a teen center get it built with donations or on spec. and then charge membership, that covers all expenses, than please have at it.

You have never paid full price they are a tax wright off. Parents should not get a tax break for using most of the services we pay for(sports programs,school, and now you want a teen center too?) When the issue involves bad kids, our tax dollars have to pay for extra police officers to do the parent's job(or what absolutely should be their job) We have to pay for extra officers so we can be safe from the thug kids, and frankly these kids and their parents are not worth my tax dollar.

I just thought I would let you know that all kids are not "gang bangers". You really need to take a minute to read throught your comments before you post them...seriously. Did you read what you just wrote?

Definition of a "gangbanger".

Individual members of gangs may be referred to as gangsters, gangstas, or "gangbangers". Frequently, the members of a street gang are only in their teens, a result of early exposure to drugs and violence, and the short life expectancy associated with a "gang-banging" lifestyle. Entry into a gang often entails being "jumped in", where other members beat up the recruit in order to test his dedication. Sometimes the recruit may be given a crime to commit (robbery, rape, or murder) as another route of entry. Often, the decision to join a gang is purely practical, where the danger of being unaffiliated, and thus unprotected, outweighs the risks of gangbanging. Unfortunately, this perpetuates a vicious cycle, only contributing to the violence and corruption of a neighborhood. Other temptations to join a gang also exist: money, drugs, power, and pride for the neighborhood. Although the gang's very existence harms the community, members take great pride in "defending" their local turf.

Yes, I new exactly what I intended with the above.

Wow..you sure do know a lot about gangs..good job! And if that is the defintion of a gang then I know most teens in PTC are not in one. Just because they do bad things sometime does not mean that they are in a gang. Peachtree City does not have a gang problem.

Better ask the police about that one.

HA..you think the Police know that? They just say kids are in gangs. Just because kids are bad doesn't mean they are in gangs. They just classify bad kids as gang bangers just like you do in all your comments. The city of Atlanta doesn't even have a serious gang problem. Go to L.A. Now that's a gang problem.

Are you the apartment manager at Harmony? Or do you work on Cynthia McKinney's staff?

Gee... I think we classify most bad kids that run in packs gang bangers. Where you be from anyhows or where you been?

Your dog deserves a nice belly-rub!

I was here before the slums were built sweet cheeks so I wont be moving because them.

Besides, I have my concealed weapons permit and a 45 for dealing with crime.

I would just love to have one, or more, of those “gang bangers” try.

Instead of keeping them away from your kids. why not menter some of these kids. Show them when you work hard you can be anyone you want to be. Let the Trouble makers over there know we will not put up with bad behavior our this town. After all no one had any trouble letting me know. Good thing I wasn't planning on Mother of the year:)

I'll kick in a few bucks !

2ndly, why was a 14 year old driving the cart, I assume alone?

There will be cameras there 24/7 real soon. The thugs will be convicted with video evidence. That area is about to become the safest place in PTC - cameras and cops - gotta love it!
