		<description>what a waste, why do we even bother to try and make the neighborhood better, there are way too many knuckleheads who would be better off lighting themselves on fire, or drowning themselves at the point. And they know who they are, and they are never gonna change and neither is this neighborhood, as soon as something nice is done, some moron ruinsit, the skate park, the airplane field, the bus shelters, when does it end? when the people who know the mutts responsible take care of them on their own</description>

		<description>Just wanted to add that what the snowman kid did, and what was done to those trees in the park, are light years apart. No Crime in smashing a snowman, just bad judgement and mean spiritedness. Destruction of Public Property-Criminal Mischief, maybe nearing the felony level for that park vandalism.($1000.00 worth of damage---7 trees and a bench plus the labor and salary paid to replace them, if they ever get replaced)</description>

		<description>Maybe &quot;outing&quot; was the wrong choice of words, but I think you see my point. What responsible person will disagree with me that this kid deserves some form of punishment? I know how you feel about the vandalism to the Bus shelters, so what would you do if you knew exactly who destroyed one of them? This is not about being a rat, itâ€™s about trying to stop this cancer that is ruining this neighborhood, by making an example out of this little mutt.  I understand your position on outing people on this site. However, I&#039;m sure there are alot of people accessing this site who know who this kid is, so some form of justice is deserved for lowlifes like this that live among us, and ruin everything good we and our children are just trying to enjoy. This neighborhood obviously needs to help police itself, so if it starts with this Vincent â€Weemanâ€, so  be it. And what a credit to your website if it actually helped this kid face the music, in some form or another. That would be making a difference in this community. As much as I would personally like to kick this kid in the ass, I believe maybe the Parks Department Police, or local precint(61 or 63?)could use this information to give this kid, (and his parents) the legal beatdown he deserves.</description>

		<description>I will tell you right now who broke those trees in the park--his first name is Vincent, but all those kids call him Wee-man. I wish I knew his last name....anyone?? I am sure someone knows who I am talking about. This little piece of shit deserves a beating for his vandalism of this brand new park. He needs to be&quot;outed&quot; for this, and pay the consequences.</description>

		<description>I saw graffiti on the corner of Everett ave and I think it was Ebony.  I don&#039;t remember which court exactly.  It was on the corner on the sidewalk and the street.  Some people are raising animals in this neighborhood.</description>
