What a shame a soccer field which will enable youth to have a positive outlet has to be postponed by a few. Let there be some traffic congestion if it helps our youth!

I am sure the May family is still deeply hurt by their loss. Gangs exist in part because people don't care enough to stop them, beginning w/their own families. Ditto crime in the community. People get scared, sure, but people are also too busy, resigned or simply don't care enough to make good changes in the community. Why point the finger at people trying to accomplish good change instead of acknowledging the status quo? Sheesh, I've had more than my share of status quo garbage to deal with here & so have many others. It's time for change, the kind of change that builds the character of the community.

I'm not sure how Officer May's family can be considered cocky, when they are trying to give BACK to the EPA community that Officer May worked and participated in while attempting to change the kids' lives for the better. They are taking a unused lot and, through fundraising efforts, are providing money and faciities back into the community, so that Officer May's legacy of helping the EPA kids continues. Being passionate about the need for the park in his honor is certainly not "cocky."
