I'm sure there are some who would rather keep the name quiet and will call me a racist, hate-filled bigot, etc but I don't care. We need to know who is causing these risks to the public and get them stopped. My kids and grandkids drive these streets and I don't want their lives jeopardized by thoughtless individuals who do not seem to care about others.
