Winners and Losers
What is it with someone who thinks defacing property is fun and macho rather than stupid, immature and the act of losers?
After all the time, money, planning, and thought went into completing that terrific new skate park in Highlands, some loser or losers forced it to be closed down during the first full weekend after its grand opening simply by being stupid and self-centered.
The neon sign by that great Highlands Festival this weekend told the story to the thousands who attended about just how thoughtless and childish some losers are. It noted that the skate park had to be closed because somebody painted the ramp sometime during the night!
Really? How immature can one get? Why ever would anyone go to the trouble of carrying paint, climbing a fence, going out at night just to wreak havoc in a place where so many others are having good clean fun? because they’re losers
What is it that makes losers think it’s cool or adventurous to do such a thing? Poor upbringing? No appreciation for things given them? Stupidity? Attention getting? Boredom? Maybe out too late?
Whatever, it didn’t phase the Mayor. She calmly, cooling, and firmly said yeah it happened, she wasn’t happy about it, but “We’ll clean it up and reopen the park.”
So happy everyone else was so mature during the Festival. The thousands who came to enjoy what looked to be the biggest one yet had a fabulous time, lots of things to see, hear, eat, drink, and buy, to say nothing of learn. They were all ages, all manner of dress, all attracted to different booths or events, and all happy and enjoying fabulous weather and great music.
The Business Partnership has all the permits and everything else necessary to make the annual event go off without a hitch in an area that included the streets and Huddy Park in the immediate festival area. The exits were clearly marked with signage telling visitors the limits so as not to disturb others in the residential area. The VFW was also approved for the same type of permit that allowed for licensed activities on their entire footprint with volunteer personnel at the exit reminding folks just how far they could go with cup in hand. There were no untoward incidents, and as the chief reported, “from what I saw everyone seemed to be having a good time.”
Nice to see the large police presence anyway, and those police explorers are certainly a professional looking group of young men and women.
