We pay to much, get too little. Would good management, responsible for our ‘safety services’ and our schools, accept the current situation? Would Mr. Bloomberg accept an excuse that the problem existed before or we’ve always done it that way?

the village police need to get a serious handle on where this Drug paraphernalia is coming from — as described in Harold Wolfson’s recent article as it is in OUR neighborhood, and in our school district.

I have to concur with Leslie’s remark – this is not a new situation and it does not help the teenagers to pretend it is.
While what happened at Manor Park is shocking for the destruction, it cannot be used as an excuse to now blame everything on children and teens from “other” towns. I loved her line “soul searching required”. Yes.

drugs have been in the Mamaroneck schools for years. my son told me of a kid a few years ago at Hommocks who wore a puffy parka but inside one of the puffs kept pot to sell. to blame “outsiders” is sticking our heads in the ground and pretending. it’s our kids, in our town. and yes, you’re right that if there was no need for drugs there would be no market. we need to ask: why is there a market? the same is true for the drinking problem in this town. why do our kids feel the need to drink so much? soul searching required.
