Fiesta

[jaespur21]

Have you ever been here?

San Antonio isn't very ghetto at all.

But every carnival I've ever been to has been bad at night.

Even in Westwood and Beverly Hills, people get shanked at carnivals - that's how it goes.

Much agree with you...... me and my friends go together and i dare those little s try to with us cuz we will them up....i go to drink and get on rides @ night and me and my friends are cool and fights happening around me dont scare us for !!

*swoon*

You're the bravest man here.

The city is way too stupid to do that.

, the carnival that has the contract for that area, isn't even allowed to charge them rent, for the area they use of the carnivals, that the carnival pays over a million dollars rent for!!!

Its a friggen joke.

Part of the reason you'll never clean up the carnival is that pretty much fiesta is all about boozing it up.

Charging a gate admission will only kill the carnival's revenue, and the gangsters will still come in.

Trust me, I've seen it tried, in many other places, many other situations.

Its police involvement is the key to the problem.

They can't/don't charge them to set up a booth? There was even one booth that was charging $10 to have a picture taking with some girl(probably herpes ridden) wearing basically dirty ass boy shorts and a wet t-shirt. Maybe parents take their kids so they can go through puberty in a few short minutes. What a family-oriented carnival.....

I was happy to say that the cops seemed pretty no nonsense, but I still felt that there weren't enough cops out there. There was constant "mad dogging" between thugs, which some escalated quickly just because of the crowding. You saw the same scenario again and again. 2 guys walking in different directions, heading straight for each other and just because neither wants to be a "pussy", neither scoot over to let the other pass, they bump shoulders, look back, talk , start shoving..... what a bunch of stupid s.

The city won't allow them to no.

I agree it is disgusting, I would give more opinions, but I have business involved and that would'nt be prudent here, you'd be amazed at who reads these message boards.

The city also makes the carnival pay for the cops.

The carnival can only afford to have so many out there.

That sucks, If the city even cared they would just put more cops out there.
There are just too many people for the amount of cops on duty.

You seem to be the inside-man here, I'm sure the carnival people must be seeing a huge profit regardless of the million dollar rent and the renting of the cops, but I can't see why they would let their carnival continue to become so trashy. I'm sure these thugs aren't spending THAT much money. There must be something that can be done.

Do they have any undercover cops? Maybe non uniformed officers in the crowd would help with crowd control getting things in order. Also do they not enforce curfew for underaged kids?

[T Park]

The carnival is not seeing a huge profit.

If you thing something can be done around the politics of the city, be my guest and suggest it.

That would be good, but if the kids already don't have respect for cops, it wouldn't do much.

When is curfew? 11:00pm?

What politics?

When is curfew? 11:00pm?

I think so yes. I guess there is no logical solution to filter the trash.

[T Park]

I can't get into it honestly.

But, there are things going on that, well, its not a suprise at how things are over there.

[Kevin Blackistone]

The city is not going to spend money on cops for a carnival. Unfortunately, it's go at your own risk. It's not worth wasting time on and possibly getting taken out.

They have no problem taking that big gaurantee money from the carnival.

I wonder if something would be done if the thugs woke up earlier and took over the King William Fair.....

[T Park]

Oh then it would be a national crisis.

[hater]

Maybe Marc CUban should check it out?

The gays would eat them alive...

Mosquito: Does it Drive Pesty Teens Away?

A piece of equipment called the Mosquito has a super-high pitched buzz. Its creator invented it for businesses to put up in order to combat teenagers from just hanging around their buildings for too long.
Here's how it works: By age 20 to 25 around 90% of us have lost the ability to hear over 15 kilo-hertz. The Mosquito sound is more than 17 khz.

The News 4 WOAI Trouble Shooters did a demonstration at San Antonio College recently. We turned this box on for a group to hear. Our group consisted of people under and over age 25.

We asked those who could hear the noise to raise their hands. About 3 people under the age of 25 raised their hands, while the rest sat in what they thought was silence.

Garrett Redd, who is under 25, said, "It's like a really high, faint noise."

One man over 30 who said he could not hear it said he actually felt it.

The sound of the Mosquito annoyed those who could hear it, but it also annoyed those who could not hear it. One woman told us she thought we were all just playing a trick on her.

Originally, the Mosquito was marketed to convenience stores and other places plagued by loitering youngsters. Here's where a little irony comes into play. Kids turned this same technology to their advantage. They're using it to receive text-messages on their phones in the classroom.

Professor Jessica Howard said, "If it does not disrupt the classroom, if they don't answer the phone, then I don't mind, but, my sense is that it would distract." That's a distraction initially created as a deterrent.

This device would cost a business about $1000, but the ringtones only run a few dollars to download.
