"We are furious over the PRZone and decided to do something about it," Hitchcock said in an e-mail to Barrow Patch. "People get online and complain so I figured I would do something about it. A few of us have sign the form to be able to speak at the board meeting on Tuesday. And we are going to meet at my house on Sunday to review our facts and notes so we are prepared for the meeting."

I grew up in a Winder where doors were not locked and the town was full of folks shopping! SometimesRead More a moonshiner would get caught or the parking meter would run out of time and one would get a parking ticket by one of the three cops in town! Now I keep a weapon handy because of voices and footsteps on the pavement at night! Where are these people coming from and going to after one o'clock in the morning? Why does it take so long for a policeman to show up after a call is made,if they show up at all? I've watched nice homes on my street turn into dumps. They are rented by owners who are only interested in the money and not the quality of people who are renting. Yeah, I keep a weapon and it's loaded for a thief or prowler! When seconds count a cop is only several minutes away,if at all!
