      <![CDATA[Yes, white people commit crimes too, but not usually involving violence or vandalism. Poor, mostly black people are the problem here, and only constant vigilance by the local neighborhood-building white people will solve it.

      <![CDATA[@ eric pfeifer and Chuckie<br>
Do you think I'm going to identify my grandchildren's park to thugs like you? Fat chance.<br>
<br>
Here's the census tract makeup of the neighborhood around the park:<br>
White 59%<br>
Black 24%<br>
Hispanic 11%<br>
Asian 4%<br>
Multiracial 2%<br>
<br>
You can choose to ignore the obvious and grease the skids for further decline in Atlanta, or you can do something to change it.

Atlanta parks remind me of Watts and Philly where the rioters are so abysmally stupid that they trash and burn their own neighborhoods.

No more coddling, no more justification.<br>
There is a hood subculture that really cant have anything nice. <br>
