Mike is throwing down some seasoned logic.

I will say, that even black friends of mine have indicated that Mckinney is safe from hood blacks because the blacks there were working class. When I told one that they were building a shit load of apt's that were taking gov't assistance she said "oh, yall need to get the fuck out then, it's too late".

So in the midst of screaming racism, even blacks know there are differences. The problem I see is that if EVERY interaction boils down to color/race/racism, you'll begin to see society re-embrace the "separate but equal" premise that came out of Plessy. Regardless of what the law or good sense says. People largely don't want to deal with bullshit, and will go over the top with drama to avoid drama.

How mckinney cops break up pool parties

I paid $132k for my 2000 square foot house in stonebridge in 1989 and that's pretty affordable with two white collar incomes. Houses in quail creek were cheaper than that. I'm sure that real estate has gone up there especially with Toyota showing up but it is what it is.

Unless mallard lakes has added a gated portion recently I am unaware of it being gated.

Most of the communities ive been at in stonebridge ranch are very middle class...meaning under 300K. 6 years ago they were available under 200K

I had a house in Stonebridge from 1989 to 2012. I only know of a few communities in Stonebridge that are gated. The neighborhoods there run the gamut from ordinary middle class housing up into some expensive property - it was designed that way back when there were only the 5 original communities and I think it's still pretty much still the same. Want a more affordable house? - check out Quail Creek. Wanna step up? Wellington Point comes to mind.

Having lived there well before there was a Craig Ranch I've been watching this mess unroll from California. IMO a series of unfortunate events happened that lead to distortion of the story by the media which lead to allegations of racism and police brutality.

What the actual lay out of the Stonebridge community is I'm no 100% sure of. I know the first Stonebridge community sign I see is at Ridge and Virginia which is right next to a gated community. If it extends to Lake Forest and Virginia then yes it most definitely encompasses middle class housing. It might even go further east and pick up the Mallard Lakes edition.

I guess it really comes down to what your definition of middle class is, which I consider myself to be part of. I know what I make and there are very few areas west of Hardin that I would consider being in my price range.

And I totally agree with all your other statements.

100% agree with mikeb

This is what I've been saying all along.

One thing you missed was the party was planned with the parent involved. In fact the child and mother planned the party today and actually have a promoting and party planning business.

I think mikeb has hit a homerun with that post.

god bless.

[VaderTT]

Well said, but lmao at "wilding", unless that d is silent.

[ceyko]

I'd also add that due to not wanting be labeled a racist, a lot of people are taking the "children's" side. Either that or we really have lost ALL aspects of discipline in our lives.

[MattB]

Well said Mike.

Stonebrigde on the other hand is all high end housing with many gated communities.

I had a house in Stonebridge from 1989 to 2012. I only know of a few communities in Stonebridge that are gated. The neighborhoods there run the gamut from ordinary middle class housing up into some expensive property - it was designed that way back when there were only the 5 original communities and I think it's still pretty much still the same. Want a more affordable house? - check out Quail Creek. Wanna step up? Wellington Point comes to mind.

Having lived there well before there was a Craig Ranch I've been watching this mess unroll from California. IMO a series of unfortunate events happened that lead to distortion of the story by the media which lead to allegations of racism and police brutality.

Here is what I have put together as far as the general event flow:

1. The kid that organized these events - if his parents live there they were made aware of the HOA rules regarding the use of the public pool before they moved in. They bear a lot of responsibility in this situation, but i'm sure that they are "outraged" by the unfairness of them not being allowed to break the rules that apply to everyone else. That kid is the one that caused all of this. Where are his parents? An ass whipping is needed for the kid, and an apology is needed to the community from the parents. The HOA should bill the parents for all of the costs that will be incurred as a result of this event.

2. As a result of the social media publicity that the kid did too many people showed up and started climbing fences and threatening other people - i'm sure that their attitude was "we paid so we are entitled to get in". There was a DJ there that was playing loud music with offensive lyrics. People had younger children at the pool and I can completely understand why this type of music would be unacceptable to them. A community pool is supposed to be about families having fun and enjoying a nice afternoon, not about wild parties thrown by teenagers.

3. The security guard lost control of the situation. He was probably a pimply faced teenager without a weapon.

4. I heard that the white woman that got her hair pulled said something racial to the teens beforehand and that provoked the fight. I don't know what happened before that but I would speculate that she asked them to tone down the music or behavior and was turned away.

5. Bedlam ensued. The cops showed up and the one cop lost control of himself and got filmed doing it. The kids showed no respect toward the cops and then cried when the cops detained them as a result.

6. The video got posted and McKinney is now widely known for being a racist town. People were quick to make judgments and let their racial bias be known without knowing all of the facts, based solely on what that video shows.

What is missing here is simple, basic respect. The kids had absolutely no respect for adults, for cops, or for the neighborhood that they were guests of. Instead, they felt entitled to act as they wanted to ("wilding") and then pulled out the police brutality and racism cards when the cops showed up.

Those teens have not made (and may never make) the connection between cause and effect because they think that they can simply pull out the race card to cover any behavior. Had they shown respect for the neighborhood things would have turned out differently. The people that live there are for the most part not racist; they pay for that pool with their HOA dues and I think they get a say so in what happens there. Insisting that discordant elements be thrown out is certainly within their rights.

What I think will happen after all of this winds down is that the pools will simply be closed to everyone. They have done that before.

There will be longer range effects - some people will probably be incensed and will take it on themselves to escalate the situation and vandalism and other bad things will come to that neighborhood. Tensions will increase between people, and it will appear at the schools with fighting.

Totally regrettable.
