Btw….. I’m looking at the times that these posts were made and the majority of them were posted in the middle of the night. Like 2 and 3 in the morning. Now what in the world are y’all doing up at those times? Let me guess you couldn’t sleep? Lol of course you cant
Observer the original… How typical of you to come to a conclusion such as the pathetic one in which you did. Ladies and gentlemen, this comment posted by this narrow minded and negative nimrod is a perfect example of what is wrong with our society and community today. Instead of taking a moment to observe and assess the situation, this guy assumes the very worst and immediately throws a guilty verdict on those above mentioned. Just so you know , you should definitely worry about yourself and the problems that you have in your oWn Life.
From what it sounds like your negativity is a big problem for you. Worry about your self.
Weed infested look at a r they are three feet tall they won’t see nothing coming
The perp looks a lot like a certain Greek I know.
If u dont know the people living there how can u judge wht they r or how they live
It wasn’t even the people that live there it was the people renting from them. Those kids handled that better than most adults. No it isn’t a hudd house they own it. They keep the trap up so people don’t steal tools. Shame on the person from AR for filming a minor.
The tarp is up so that people cannot see what is going on there. It also hides the garbage stored behind it. One look around the rest of the property will show it is a dump, not fit for an animal to live in.
Cameras are mounted all around the property to warn of intruders. Many windows are covered with aluminum foil, sure signs of paranoia, or at the very least, illegal activity.
Welcome back Peter, enjoy your contributions.
I feel for that little boy !! He has no choice who his parents are. God bless him !
Possibly another HUD funded house. They must be doing some kind of construction behind that tarp. So then, would this be considered a nuisance house?
Is that a sidewalk filled with weeds in the picture. The city needs to hire a couple weed whackers at $10 a pop and get this city cleaned up. Trash picker uppers in force would be another good idea. Simple solutions done on the tax payer dime instead of a whole lot of people sitting behind their desk trying to decipher things. And that poor boy sitting on the steps is the only one with his hands not cuffed. So sad.
Uhh… your worried about a few weeds in the sidewalk? Look to the east right across the river (along Carolina Ave.) and see the weed infested city owned jungle where the flood houses were taken out.
