This is confusing. Is it a public pool or not? I’ve heard conflicting reports. This article makes it sound like a private pool but they won’t come out and say it. Why not?
Even if it is a public pool there are rules about behavior posted at every public pool and public park I’ve ever been to.
It’s probably an HOA pool,
and some neighborhood kids either invited
people from outside the neighborhood
or leaked the gate code.
The McKinney police said, in a statement, that they were called to respond to the Craig Ranch North Community Pool for a report of “a disturbance involving multiple juveniles at the location, who do not live in the area or have permission to be there, refusing to leave.”
Apparently there are no property rights anymore.
To those who say that businesses must accommodate all customers (like same sex wedding couples looking for a photographer for their event) even private residences now must apparently accept all comers. Were they the guests of any residents there or is it like some of the neighborhood folk who walk their kids in the gate of my apartment complex but don't actually live here or pay rent to support the operation of the pool?
yes, and the greensboro, nc woolworth lunch counter was a “privately owned” lunch counter. however, the ussc permitted 14a lawsuits to be filed in federal courts, and the rest (so to speak) is history..
We rented a public pool for a family members graduation....it was in “off hours”..... those who showed up uninvited were sent away.
Today's black population's youth are ‘taking’ what they can because they believe they can do so without repercussion's. These kids weren't invited and creating disturbances which the people of the neighborhood called the police for help. Rather than simply disperse, and is as their custom, they resisted and mouthed off.... Good for police they put them down!
The pool is private and belongs to the Homeowners Association. It is clearly posted that only residents may use the pool. However, what happens is that once somebody is in, they can go open the gate from the inside to let somebody else in. A big gang of thuggy nonresident teenagers who happened to be all or mostly black were let into the pool and starting causing huge trouble, getting into fights, harassing residents who tried to stop them, etc. Security was called and apparently couldn’t stop them. Then the cops were called to break it up.
HOA pool, guests need permission to attend
