Concerned Citizens of Chatham on CAPCC blog's "Just like Detroit"

A comment on that recent post:
As a former officer of CAPCC I'm appalled and angry at the bloggers comments. Yes we have problems but getting negative and stereotyping is not going to solve the problem. Roland Burris nor State Supreme court justice William Cousinss who are also former officers of CAPCC would acknowledge their past affiliation with this organization based on the comments of the blogger.

Yes 79th street is a problem but pointing fingers where they need to be pointed. Where are the new lights that were promised? What happened to the state grant money for a conservation program?

Giving the "riff raff" a stake in our community can go a long way. That's why we gave links on CCC Facebook page to several programs that give our young people a sense of ownership in their community.

No one is reading your blog now and at the rate you are going its going to get worse.
I get the sense of the negativity from them as well. It's very unfortunate somewhat understandable given the crime issues that we have been seeing in Chatham as of late. The tone however needs to change because it may not be very helpful to the discussion of what's going on in Chatham.

I've posted links to some of CAPCC's posts since I found them a few months ago. Do any of you have any comments on what they have said?
