Comments on: Store Owners Should be Accountable. Why? It Works. http://voteshell.com/store-owners-should-be-accountable-why-it-works/ Wed, 07 Oct 2009 21:52:46 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Ryan Shell http://voteshell.com/store-owners-should-be-accountable-why-it-works/comment-page-1/#comment-130 Ryan Shell Thu, 25 Jun 2009 02:46:46 +0000 http://voteshell.com/?p=537#comment-130 Hugh, Thanks for your comment, but I need to address a couple items. They were not roughhousing as you say, they were attempting to hurt the kid in question. If I saw the same thing happen outside Target or off Westridge I'd have drawn the same conclusion. Also, you are putting two of the items I mentioned together, when that isn't what I said at all. In regards to drugs I said, "when they see drug activity taking place in the parking lot." No where did I say the kids beating up the other kid were dealing drugs. If folks need to connect imaginary dots, that is up to them. There are no dots to connect and that is that. I have a large number of friends that live in the Ole Asheboro neighborhood and they are very passionate about cleaning up what happens at the Citgo and areas around it. At the very least I am highlighting and attempting to figure out ways to do exactly what those in the community in which I live want. I hope that you can step back and see that I am simply trying to help. Ryan Hugh,

Thanks for your comment, but I need to address a couple items. They were not roughhousing as you say, they were attempting to hurt the kid in question. If I saw the same thing happen outside Target or off Westridge I’d have drawn the same conclusion.

Would you think the same thing about a bunch of kids horsing around outside Target or at the video game store at the westridge shopping center? I've seen it at both and never thought to assign drug dealing to them. Sounds like there's some presumptions on your part that I'll let others connect the dots....
