I'm not proud maybe you can call it just plain begging. I am asking, begging, pleading please Mr. Flores, for you and our City Councilmen to please, please have a fast and hard rule of no dogs allowed in the new park. Yes, and I'll tell you why I'm making this desperate plea. So many halls, parks, entertainment centers are built in Cities for the citizens of the cities and to & behold before the entire population can discover that such exist, the notorious gang-bangers have taken over. I do not want to see gang bangers, wanna be gang bangers, or just plain disrespectful citizens of Lynwood take over the park with vicious bulldogs, pits, rothweilers, Berman shepherds, dobermans, no, no, no! Lynwood does not need nor do we want these people to take over this new park with their vicious dogs. I see them walking them in the streets of Lynwood everyday, and when they're on the streets, or up in the middle of the streets with these huge dogs dragging them, well -ha- doesn't matter if you're in a car; you've got to wait until they and their dogs decide to move out of the way. Oh and Heaven forbid it's more than one guy walking his dog, if it's two or three of'em you're had it. And just daring one to say something to them. Oh, don't even think of walking around in the neighborhood anymore, those days are loooooong gone; these dogs keep all of us from walking. If you walk, you're taking your life in your hands. It's just so sad, that we must pay taxes for the ignorant to rule and take over whatever they want in this City. Oh yes. Mr. Flores, you know as well as I do that if there isn't a hard fast rule with signs posted, they will take over the new park with their dogs. Even with signs posted they're still gonna try and try you with their dogs onto the park, scaring people, letting them run upon people; not calling them back. Dog poop all over the place. Why build the park if you're going to allow this to take place. Why build it? I pray that security will be given to the citizens of Lynwood so that we will be able to enjoy the new park. I sure don't want to go and be attacked by some pit bull dog. The only way that this does not happen, is that you and the Mayor along with the other Councilmen, Recreation Director, Sheriff Department will have NO tolerance for such; you know you will have to make an example with some arrests made and heavy, heavy fines because just as sure as I'm writing you this, it is going to happen and all of you know it will. Yes it will. No doubt in my mind; none.. I pray that no one, no small child, absoutely NO ONE will have to be attacked, mauled, killed in order to get you City officials, Park officials to heed this personal plea. I thank you for ALL consideration in enforcing the rule of NO DOGS ALLOWED. /y~~~~,cely U a~ A Lynwood Citizen cc: City Clerk City Councilmen City Manager Mayor Interim Director of Recreation & Community Services GATEMAN HALL COMMITMENT AND ATTENDANCE MARCH 2009 DATE NAME EVENT ROOM TIME KITCH.
