Free Speech in action in LR: FB Friend Reggie Swinton


I'll be honest with you. That Dem-Gaz story is so one-sided, it really doesn't warrant comment on content, but criticism for lopsided journalism. Did anyone contact you for your side of the story Reggie?
    • Ean Lee Bordeaux http://www.corruptionsucks​.blogspot.com/ We were going to repost the article for free, "educational purposes", but really, it's a political manipulation piece reeking of insider "plantation mentality" corruption. We will be investigating this matter MUCH further on Corruption Sucks Blog.

Read the Rosedale park article in the paper today then pay $.99 to make ur comment. its very important if u want to make changes in our community. Larry Gillmore lied. point blank. ijs

A Little Rock parent was banned from a city park after posting critical comments on his Facebook page about the athletic director of his son’s baseball program.
IMPORTANT....If u havent read the article in todays paper about rosedale baseball park on the "B" sections front page, u must. Larry Gillmore lied and said that he banned me because I made comments on fb about him stealing $ from the park. If u go back & read my post from 7-5-11 & 7-9-11, u will not see me saying that not one time. My concerns were how he runs the park & his lack of professionalism there.

If I'm incorrect please tell me. Here are our general concerns. We would like for the season to start in March (as most baseball leagues do), we would like for the games to start on time for a change, we would like for there to be one "set" schedule & not change it 4 times during the course of one season. We would like for at least one coach to be certified & know all the rules so that every coach on each staff can stop arguing with the umps, but first the umps must know the rules, but before that the commissioner must know his own rules. We would like for the park to have real & legal baseball rules like most parks so that when our kids make that transition to play aau baseball or travel baseball, they will not be mentally behind. The commissioner must be willing to listen & accept constructive criticism & not be argumentative when he's approached. We would like for our kids to have better uniforms & not the same t shirts every year. The park is very unsafe for the kids once they enter the gates, ex. My sons tooth was crack by a kid throwing a rock & we're still paying on that dental bill. The parks equipment should be better especially since the price of admission & the concession prices were raised. The restrooms are always filthy. Plus each kid deserves a trophy........ People have been asking for improvements for yrs & the current regime is unwilling to make any. It's their way or the highway. Those are a few of the changes we'd like to see. If im wrong people please correct me.

    • Joyce Hayes I have lots of concerns for the children as far as scheduling goes , no 3 and 4 year old should be playing at 8 o'clock at night. They changed schedules so much the coaches couldn't keep up with them. They are very INCONSISTENT
