Activist vs. Public Nuisance

When does activism become a nuisance???  One of our local bloggers  Martha Bridges props herself up as an community and environmental "activist".  Her own fan club of Lake Elsinore Resident “LER” and Roberta refer to her as a Senior Citizen that may not all be there?  Everything I have read points to the fact that the community does not want her as their voice.. The only person that seems to support her are “Lake Elsinore Resident” that hates Wildomar and refers to its citizens as morns and sheep.  Why would someone that claims to be a community activist align themselves with an outsider that shows such disdain for the very community she is trying to be active on??

 

 I always thought that “activists” did things that were good for the community and would not align themselves with a person that has such a disdain for the very community you are trying to “save”.

This one seems to drive wedges in everything she touches. The city and the citizens of Wildomar obviously sent a  message loud and clear in the 2010 elections, when she lost her bid for City Council. Why would one continue with efforts that clearly the community is NOT interested in? Political aspirations?  I do not think so, she already lost one race and is most likely too old to start a new carrer? I doubt even she would be dumb enough to flush another $10k to run an effective campaign.

 I was thinking that perhaps it her love of children, but her recent bloggings on a man that allegedly pulled a gun on a little girl shows she does not like children and particularity Girl Scouts. She thinks they (children) are a nuisance and even alluded to some crazy story that the little girl may have been “casing” the house for a future robbery while selling Girl Scout cookies.  If you care for a good chuckle, take a read through this one http://lakeelsinore-wildomar.patch.com/groups/trending-in-america/p/thin-mint-thug-cops-say-ca-man-points-gun-at-girl-scout-lakeelsinore-wildomar.

 

Perhaps some of the folks that actually live in Wildomar can help me better understand how you would want this child hating, combative,  litigious person running up frivolous lawsuits and wasting taxpayer dollars on legal fees that would so much better be spent perhaps on parks or a new fence or marketing to bring business in?

If you want some fun reading to see the trash you are dealing with, tak a gander at this thread: http://wildomarrap.blogspot.com/. You can even see Roberta's new Thrift Store (Albeit renamed to Boberta which I kinda like).

I will delete post that are off topic......
