with us whatever you'd like uh first we'll hear from Carissa Arnold good evening thank you for your time um just for um security reasons I'm not going to disclose my address um but I just wanted to come to you tonight I um got to share about my daughter at the the last meeting um that you guys had and um we are just coming to ask for your help and jtine if you guys can work on publishing information um to the public regarding your unruly Gathering law um and this weekend there was an extreme height in parties kids were drinking they had um open containers in their cars your Mesa officers were um having to deal with these all night long and so it seems like parents are not getting aware of what the law is regarding its surrounding and at one of these parties unfortunately a minor did have his head repeatedly kicked in at the party and so it is happening all over our cities here in the East Valley um it is becoming and has been a problem for a while now and so our parents really need a lot of education and backing behind the fact that there there are consequences when you hold these parties and they need to be held accountable for them as well as our minors um when they are like going to these parties and um these fights and things are happening and kids are getting their heads kicked in they um and they're having open alcohol containers in their cars they're not understanding what's going on and so these kids are jumping in the East Valley from party to party to party so as one gets shut down they're moving to the next one and so we really just need to start have a hammering down on understanding that there are consequences for our parents and the homeowners and that there are consequences for the minors going forward and so public information going out would be helpful and so we're asking for you guys to help us with that thank you thank you Mr Arnold and I do not want you to share your address but just just to be clear your your your home is in the town of Gilbert that is correct and you're here as really kind of a effort to address this issue yes that's correct thank you very much thank you for being here yes thank you appreciate your time you bet uh Bridget bega Bridget Vega good evening mayor and counsel change begins with awareness Justice starts with us when does it stop when each and every single one of us have the courage to stop turning a blind eye and looking away again you don't get to look the other way on this issue especially after this weekend when multiple parties happened in Mesa including as reported one on castill where a teenager defenseless on the floor he was kicked as byst standards recorded and his head was stomped on as a parent adult or assault Survivor and a community advocate especially for the Youth we ask that you implement and raise awareness around the unruly ordinance that you guys have in place along with enforcing curfew you and not only holding the kids accountable but the parents as well we also come to you as this is the second request as teenager Connor Jarnigan who was brutally assaulted by brass knuckles continues to take a stand in the face of adversity and be a Beacon of Hope for the community as a community we ask that you adopt the language and lock arms with Chandler and Gilbert to implement the no brass knuckle ordinance to make it illegal for miners to possess and also illegal for anyone to sell or distribute them let us not be by standards but agents of upst standards and change let us commit to Breaking the cycle of harm and fostering a community that's built on love empathy and accountability together we can create a brighter future for the generations to come as we are all one and bleed the same please continue to keep all of the families in your prayers if we can take a moment of silence for Preston Lord and all of the teens who've been assaulted mentally physically and sexually and and all of the youth that were wrongfully murdered due to senseless acts of violence rise up Mesa thank you thank you and again miss Vega we're we're glad that you're here but just for the record your home is in Gilbert correct yes all right thank you very much for
