This is a new deal for me,  I am sure not many will read this so I am really not to worried about the topics I post.  So here we go.

Complaint number one.

As a citizen of Hopkinsville, Kentucky It should really bother everyone that the rate of violent crimes is seemingly going through the roof in our little town.  Yet when you get on discussion boards or read the paper there is very little mention of any of it.  There is a little article and that is it,  very little follow up and absolutely as minimal reporting as possible.  Discussion boards both politically slanted and otherwise are complaint number 2.  We need to take a stand and quit sitting around waiting on someone else to handle the problem.  I don't know,  tell me what you think.

Complaint number two

Discussion boards and everything that goes on within the boards.  When KNE says it is an open discussion board that is what it is open to any ##### who wants to get on and post any idiotic remark they want to.  For some reason though people around here like to get off topic and start going off on the dummies that post the trash on the site.  What is so hard about staying on topic and ignoring the idiotic crap?  I don't understand.  Then no matter what the topic no matter who it involves it always comes back to race for some reason,  Why does that happen on every topic?  There is also the use of foul language, as one lady posted she was going to report everyone on the site and have them barred.  I found that one extremely funny and had to laugh.  It's called a "DISCUSSION" in the middle of the word it is spelled out for you "CUSS".  If you don't want an open dicussion go to Hoptown Hall I am sure the Lord of discussion will keep everyone in line and on subject just the way he likes it.  

Complaint number three

Gangs in the area seem to be taking off at a pretty fast pace.  Should we sit back and let the Chamber of Commerce run our city into the ground.  That is exactly what they are doing at this time and the Mayor sits back and waits for a new five year plan so he can decide what to do next, what a joke.  The last time I checked I wasn't allowed to vote for the Chambers president and I damn sure don't want the Chamber running my city.  I believe that a group of people who say that admitting there are gangs in the area is bad business,  as opposed to facing them head on and putting them out of business while they are still manageable shouldn't be in charge of cleaning toilets,  let alone coming up with policy for a whole city,  it is ridiculous.  The Chamber along with other forces in city government have basically taken the front line of defense that we citizens had,  that being the Gang task force, and done whatever they can to destroy it and all trust that these men and women had in the communities they were policing, by taking them and moving them around making them hard to get a hold of by the people in these communities who they depend on for tips and leads.

Complaint number four

Not enough police are on the streets of Hopkinsville because they can't pay the police men and women a decent enough wage to keep anyone here.  The city in all their wisdom pays to send these people to training in Richmond Ky and when they come back and get a little time under their belts and make a few contacts in other places they leave so they can make some decent money.  I know what most people think police and firemen are lucky to get what they get, they don't do anything but drive around and look pretty and eat donuts.  Well in some cases I will agree LOL but when you need both fire and police they are there risking their lives for you, so a thank you every now and again along with a decent wage make a world of difference to someone doing the job.  One Holiday weekend I can't remember which one it was there were only 4 officers patrolling the streets the whole weekend.  Now I am sure something was done paperwork wise to show something different,  but in actuality that is the amount that were on the street.  That is pitiful and dangerous to all around.

Well that's it for now I am sure I will have more complaints later to go off about. TTFN
