Gangs scorching the melting pot
The gang activity in Manatee County has been growing over the past six or seven years.
On Ninth Street, south of Winn-Dixie, the "SUR 13" graffiti "tags" are visible on the side of duplexes on the east side of the road.
I had been going to DeSoto Square Mall for more than 25 years, but now I shop online. The Toys "R" Us store on Cortez Road, south of the mall, is totally unsafe after dark.
If businesses and citizens don't offer our support for more policing, we will be losing more neighborhoods to the gangs.
I'm aware we need Latino labor to do the work that Americans think they are too good to do, but we don't have to put up with violence and kidnappings.
This is America, the melting pot. Let's not scorch the pot so badly it cannot be used.
