Did you get a Tee Shirt ?
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I saw there was everybody waiting in line to eat or in line to get their face painted. I did not here anyone talking about how they were or how I could prevent crime. It was nice to see young people dancing, but were they learning anything about how to prevent crime or just that City Hall was a place to get free food and drink and dance.
ReplyDeleteDoes Sharon want to be reimbursed for her time and food?
ReplyDeleteHI HATER BY HATER. I SMELL HATER'S. THIS WAS A GREAT EVENT. THE OTHER EVENT IN PLAINFIELD WAS A WHITE WASH
ReplyDeletewhat is there to hate on and what event was a white wash and what is a white wash
DeleteWhile the police were at city hall playing basketball with the kids we saw some of the drug dealers from e 6th were there getting soda and hot dogs and then going back to their regular corner to deal. We did not see any demos or here any talks about how to prevent crime or how to get rid of drug dealers from our neighborhoods.
ReplyDeleteHow do you know they are drug dealers
