Dear
Neal and Melissa:
I wish to commend you and Melissa in your efforts to try and implement
the Safety Ordinance in the Town of Loris and Horry County. My wife
and I support your efforts because we know that the Ordinance will drive
crime out. An armed or perceived armed society with government backing,
Ordinance passage, can do nothing short of that. I have been following
gun related issues for over a decade now, and the one fact that always
surfaces is the criminal element, rapists, looters, thieves, and murderers
have one thing in common: they are cowards. They prey on the weak, the
old, and the defenseless. If there is even a hint that they themselves
will get hurt or killed they move on. The Kennesaw Ordinance is the electric
prod to move them out of our towns and out of our county. The residents
cannot loose backing your efforts in promoting the Safety Ordinance.
As
an aside I noticed that you are also trying to solve the problems that
your town, Loris, is sustaining with the Maple Street bottom. We lived
(my wife and I) in Loris for many years. The first year we were there,
within a two week period of time, there were two killings that were drug
related in the bottom. We witnessed the Maple street situation go from
bad to worse. Throngs of people like gangs clog up a public street and
they take their "inner city attitudes" and go out into the town creating
a volatile environment. The Maple Street bottom is not only a stain on
the whole town but is dangerous. We have since moved from the town of
Loris. The bottom does not belong in a civilized society of law abiding
folks. It is not safe for the town's reputation. It is not safe for the
citizen's living in that town or in the surrounding areas. You cannot
contain that type of element it seeps out and spreads and the law abiding
resident suffers.
