I’ve been saying for years that Turlock parks have been taken over by the bums dirties and hobos and the local powers that be, including the police department, sit by and do nothing about it. who cares? They don’t live there, don’t have to endure the increasing number of street trash bothering the normal folk about their days. Well I moved too, and took my family and tax dollars with. Never looked back and other Turlock residents I know are considering the same. A once nice town turned into the north valleys urinal and still trying to put Bay Area prices on homes. No thanks.

Something needs to be done about this. It’s clear the elderly and these punk kids can not be together in the same park! Perhaps it’s time we considered building separate facilities for these punk kids to hang out in. Build them their own park that can only be entered if you are under a certain income bracket, and let them enjoy their own little segregated community. It’s time we finally realized that if you just segregate the problem away, then they can be equal in their own areas.

@firezombie Do you know the meaning of ignorant? Apparently not! The rubbish you just posted “over the internet” is not helping your cause. Your ignornace seems to help the statements in which @mexicankids posted. Maybe the use of spell check and grammar check would help your fight, but instead it seems you want to do some bashing of your own. Be the bigger person.

Why is this elderly woman out in a public park anyway? Don’t they have sufficient elderly housing nearby to keep them locked up? Elder care is very important, and nursing homes exist for a reason to make sure they are not exposed to this type of environment. Perhaps a mandatory age for elder housing should be considered (50+)? This would prevent these types of situations and ensure the elderly are safe from danger they may mistakenly wander into.

To everyone accusing Mexicans of violence.

Have you ever thought that maybe your racist actions and your preferences in race is one of the main reasons why we tend to be violent? Take a look at the job systems. All the office jobs are predominantly filled by whites, asians, and blacks (in that order). If you look at field jobs, mainly Mexicans fill theses jobs.

Now that you know where everyone usually gets employed, let’s take a look at the income. Office jobs pay anywhere between $20-$100/ hr. Field labors are paid at the most $12.50/hour and in most cases, since they’re illegal, they get paid way less than $100 a day.

Now let’s take a look at actions. What do you do when you see a young Mexican in a store? Correct me if I’m wrong; you’ll tend to hold on to you’re keys, you clench your purses, won’t make eye contact, call us spicks, assume we don’t speak English, disrespect us in front of our children. Now you tell me this, is this something you would stand for if it happened to you? Racism has got to stop. White folk lend a Mexican a helping hand and that help will be returned ten fold. We have heart and we care for our surroundings, but when people get racial about it, we will stand and deliver. I’m a hard working g man, pay my taxes and contribute to the community, but when I see the way you all act towards Mexicans it makes me sick, disgusted to live in an area filled with racism. If all the Mexicans would just one day decide enough is enough, how will harvest your crops? Who will clean up you’re nice hotel room? Who will do a better job at cutting you’re lawn? Illegals don’t come here to live for free, illegals come here to work. Now you tell me, can you support you’re family of five for under $100 a day?

Go take a drive to Columbia park at about 11 pm. The parents of these kids are either fellow gang bangers, locked up, or are just complete losers. As a non-Mexican Latino that unfortunately lived in Turlock for way too long, I had to put up with racial prejudice all day every day from Mexicans. Don’t act like Mexicans are the sweetest little people on earth, because a majority sure aren’t. And guess what, I’m not talking about their illegal parents, because they are hardworking people that try their best. I’m talking about their children, many of whom are torn between two cultures, don’t speak Spanish fluently, and don’t really have any clue what they’re saying when they say that they love Mexico. I’m not racist, I’m just stating simple facts. If I could give any advice to Mexicans, it would be that if you want to better your children’s lives, then you need to assimilate into American culture and stop pretending that you’re in michoacan still. Doing this will tremendously advance mexican-American culture into the 21st century. Good luck!!
