    1. Instead of talking down on the community, let’s use hopeful and uplifting words? A change is demanded. Now, talk about that.

  1. Opportunistic criminals, like an alligator is an opportunistic predator. Respect is not relevant, these “people” see something, then they take it, kill it, shoot it, loot it, destroy it, etc. The government has encouraged such behavior by rewarding it and telling the perpetrators they are the victims.
