The quality of people in society nowadays is simply not there anymore. Some people in society just refuse to live by the rules to allow a moral society containing scruples, class and responsible behavior. Society is out of control and the police can't be expected to monitor and manage proper behavior 24/7. I would suspect some, if not most, of the shootings and drug dealing originates from out of the city. Outsiders who come to Middletown because there is some connection between those living here and those who come here to cause problems. Time to purge the city influences here who attract outside influences who come into town to cause trouble. Time to permanently eliminate the problem children both here and from outside the city. Too bad society has lost the real solutions to solving these kinds of problems by taking the "kinder/gentler" route on people who least deserve that consideration. The real solution is to take these types of people out of society permanently. They offer no value to most trying to live a decent life. Why deal with them on an on-going basis? It is not logical to do so. No more repeat arrests by police, lenient sentences by the judges and more chances to cause more problems. This method is not working. We all know this. How many chances do we give the offenders before we put them away for good? Why do we deal with repeat offenders who can't seem to go along with the program? First time-another chance. The second time and you are no longer among us. That should be enough of a deterrent for repeat offenders. Time to stop screwing around with repetitious criminals. We just don't have time to deal with people more than twice.
The city of Middletown has set itself up for low quality individuals to locate here by past decisions to include those who were not wanted in other communities who set the bar higher as to attracting more desirable people. Mason, West Chester and Springboro, to name a few, would not want, condone, nor advertise for this segment of society to be members of their community. Middletown should have followed suit but failed to do so through the excessive HUD handouts, thus inviting the lower elements to town. The bar in Middletown, as to people quality, has been radically lowered the past two decades or more. This city is getting what it asked for right now. It invited the dregs of society to town and is now reaping the "rewards" of that thinking. Another cluster by city leadership and their planning. Apparently, going after the lower echelon of society is much more desirable than pursuing decent, productive people. What has happened to this city is nothing more than criminal in the planning intent. We are, and have been for quite some time, the bottom of the barrel as to a quality community, when compared to surrounding communities. Why would anyone intentionally want that for their city? City leaders know they are wrong but are not honest enough to address and correct the situation. Why? |

I'm so proud of my hometown and what it has become. Recall 'em all. Let's start over.
