I attended the annual Londonderry Civic Association meeting last night, and I was absolutely astounded. First, I was entertained by the drama during which one woman repeated referred to her neighbor (not present) as scum. This was probably a legitimate comment, as the "scum" had reportedly left the house in handcuffs on several occasions. But, when the evening ended in an all-out battle between part of the leadership team and a homeowner, I was actually embarassed to live there. Profanties were thrown around, one party announced that he had thrown another's dog over a fence.... It's truly scary to know I'm living with these people.
