    A cleansweep is exactly what they need… We need to get the raw kids off the streets out here. Open a rec center, basketball, game room, pep talks set role models…. This area is going down real fast. hate seeing it!

    That place is loaded with drugs and crime that should be a great place for a clean sweep by the sheriffs office. I’m sure they could stay busy..
