BARS IN HANSVILLE, A SAD SIGN INDEED

Dear meth heads,

We regret to inform you that your presence here in North Kitsap is not only 
unnecessary but unwanted as well. Those among you who feel the need to rob, 
steal and do whatever you deem warranted to maintain your sad lifestyle are 
nothing more than a blight on our fine community.

An ugly blemish on an otherwise beautiful face.

The fact that you take advantage of your neighbors' trustworthiness is 
grounds for your relocation in our eyes. Your continued targeting of mom 
and pop shops shows that your values sunk below those accepted by the 
society you call "home." You obviously have no concept of that word or what 
it requires to give back. All you know is "take."

The owners of Hansville Grocery and Provisions Company are fine people. But 
how would you know this and why would you even care? Apparently the only 
thing you see when you come across people like Kelly and Dave are money and 
drugs. What you fail to see and perhaps refuse to see is that their hard 
work -- and the hard work of other businesses and individuals you take aim 
at -- is only made more difficult by selfish people like you. People who 
put their own needs above all else to feed a filthy habit that will 
eventually consume them anyway.

We hope you'll someday see the error of your ways, clean up your act, get a 
job and realize the time and effort it takes to earn that which you now 
deem yours by default. But we're not going to hold our collective breath.

It's a sad state of affairs that enormous locks, high tech security systems 
and now barred windows -- barred windows in Hansville -- are required to 
ensure you steal elsewhere.

We've had it with you and your kind. Please pack your bags and your 
pathetic lifestyle and hit the road, you're not welcome here.

Sincerely,

Those who love North Kitsap
