Enough is enough

I've been trying to look at some of the positive things happening in our town, but after yesterday's trip through town and then just reading about what happened in Lancasteronline, enough is enough.
Let me take you back a step.
Yesterday, I was leaving my breakfast stop, heading down to the railroad to take a picture of the passenger train going through town. I was alerted about a possible fight down in the area of Fourth Street near where the Keystone Fire Company was. By the way, I loaded up and got down to the corner, the alleged fight had moved closer to Fourth and Locust street.
I watched for a little and got my phone out to dial police, but got a busy signal and watched for a new more minutes before exiting the area. When I went down by the police station, Sgt. Tremblay was loading up to answer the call.
So, all I've heard from the proper people in town, that we have no problems. Let's see, back in May. a kid was shot and killed in town and now a police officer injured answering a call. There's a lot more going on in town that I will get into at a later date. I can't understand why the "powers to be" in our town keep insisting on there are no problems, when its obvious there are.
Now is the time, we need to take our town back. Get the "scum" out of Columbia and turn our town into something we once had and we can be proud of once again.
Yes folks, it is bad in Columbia and we can no longer tolerate the way we are being forced to live.

Police officer injured in fight

I think this is part of what I saw yesterday morning: http://articles.lancasteronline.com/local/4/284725
