Watcher's Blog

That is not the full case Watcher. I have known people that grew up in PineHills and of different ethnic backgrounds and it was a really nice place, back in the day.

Ocoee, was considered more of a "hick town" back in the day but in the past 10 years it's been booming and doing well.

Winterpark...well, I have to agree there.

History is a wonderful thing and we need to know all the information not just what we want to know but what we need to know.

Now, I have to get back to filling out the paperwork for the officer here at my home. I was robbed! I live in Pinehills!

If the people and mayor of Ocoee do not want a trouble school (Evans) relocating out there, so be it. School, shopping mall, power plant, what's the difference? It's that town's call and should be respected otherwise let's let Ocoee relocate their dumping grounds into downtown Orlando.

I COMMEND THE MAYOR OF OCCEE FOR EVERYTHING HE STOOD FOR AND EVERYTHING HE SAID AGAINST OCP...I just found out this morning from my lovely daughter, who was agains, the mayor that the Principal of University went to this Evans high BUT I GUESS ONCE A DIRT BAG AND WITH PARENTS NOT PITCHING IN TO THEIR JOBS..i say LET IT GO TO THE DOGS AND AGAIN, I WANT TO SUPPORT OCOEE'S MAYOR I WOULDN'T WANT THAT BS IN MY TOWN EITHER..............

whats that sign used to say... Welcome to Ocoee where you dont want to be black after sundown.. or something to that effect...

The Evans students are not the bad ones in our neighborhood, it's the meadowbrook middle school students fortunately for us all most of them will be killed or never make it to highschool... And we pick on a poor teacher for getting after a kid that was probably trying to show her up.. PS I live about 3 blocks from this schools and I'd have no problem putting a bullet in one of their heads if needed.

TM6068: why not ya'll did that to my sister in law when she went to Evans shipping all these damn Haitians and blacks in. so it's your turn to take the sh|t... an eye for an eye.

I rest my case, thank you for all your comments, for saying what everyone knows, thinks, but are afraid to say for fear of jeopardizing their job or position.

For once a mayor is standing firm for his community.

The only question is who will be the first black politician to call him a racist?

Our country is going through a transition where you have to be 'careful' for what you say about undesirable heathens. It will change but until then people will have to kiss a lot of butts and swallow a lot of crap. GD America! Does that give you an indication of where we have gone in our efforts at giving people respect they don't deserve?

dks - ha ha...so, you're admitting that we're taking the "BLEEP," as you say. Thanks, you just proved my point....either that, or you cannot read and comprehend...whatever the case.

Regardless of all the issues they have made to be in priority, it all falls back on a race issue. I am a 30 yr old white male and it makes me sick how they are acting about it.

It truly seems so sad how a state known for its high drop out rates has towns like ocoee that dont want to chip in to help others. We are talking about our future here, our children, our new start. If it has to do with teachers having too many children to teach, then add more teachers. I mean is it really that much to ask?

they sit there and state so many issues, but were not talking about a product made in china. We are talking about CHILDREN and EDUCATION!! We are entitled to a fair trial in court, why not give these children a fair trial in education and a chance. Ocoee sickens me.

Stand up mister mayor, stand up parents, stand up schools! Let others have a chance regardless of their history because of demographic differences.

thanks

Watcher - yes, I saw that many times, and he's right...moving it is just movnig the problems.

Chile707 - I agree with your post, however, the old saying, "Lead a horse to water...but can't make him drink..."

Well, until change comes from within themselves, from the black community, nothing's going to get better.

Until the decent folk stand up and say, "enough!" Nothing will change....crime, drop-out rate, pregnancy rate...you name it.

At 30, have you raised a teenager lately? That's microcosm (sp?) of what plagues the black community...they (not all) seemingly want to always find someone to blame for their woes, and come to their rescue. So, the man in "crime" hills, is correct.
