While walking Chester yesterday, I came upon this letter taped to a graffiti’d over sign at the east entrance to Izaak Walton Park. It’s an anonymous message (signed ‘Peece’) to perceived gang members about the park.
It’s a bit rambling and not totally coherent. But the gist of it is that gang members are taking over the park, and to please find yourself by embracing yourself.
I was surprised; I walk around the park often, and had seen no signs of gang activity. But I’m never there at night, maybe that’s when the gangs come out?
Street gangs in Longmont? Is there no respite from that cancer?
