\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>Recently, the Stapleton Mom\u2019s Yahoo Group once again exposed a major Stapleton issue: golf carts<\/a>. It appears that the almost tens of golf carts that drive around Stapleton have become a big nuisance for many residents. \u201cI saw one going about 12 miles an hour in our residential area,\u201d said concerned resident Joe Clinton. \u201cThey had young kids safely buckled in the back seats, were driving safely, but I just had a feeling something bad could happen at any time. We need to get these things off the road. In fact, that should be our number one priority. Get golf carts out of Stapleton, then cure cancer. But carts first.\u201d\nAnother resident viewed something even more disturbing. \u201cI saw a driver of a cart throw an unidentifiable bottle into a dumpster,\u201d said Timothy Steiner. \u201cI assume it was a beer bottle, and furthermore, I will assume the driver was drunk.\u201d Steiner says that next time he will take proper action. \u201cI will definitely call 911 the next time I see a golf cart. From my very limited understanding of what 911 is for, I understand that the emergency response team will be very excited to hear from someone talking about a golf cart driving on the road, and in no way will this distract them from other potential emergencies.\u201d Steiner believes that if for some reason a S.W.A.T. team does not show up immediately to take down the lawbreaker, he and other citizens should take this issue into their own hands. \u201cI encourage anyone who sees a golf cart to vandalize it. Seriously, if there is anything you don\u2019t like about other residents in your neighborhood, just vandalize their crap.\u201d\nGolf cart owners feel they are getting unfairly judged. \u201cI drive my cart safely and responsibly,\u201d says Nicole Beatty. \u201cWe simply use it to go to the pool or go to a close-by neighbors place. I really don\u2019t understand the hostility.\u201d Some non-cart owners agree. \u201cThis has to just be jealousy, right?,\u201d says resident Dan Brody. \u201cWho gives a sh#t about golf carts? I can\u2019t believe you\u2019re asking me these questions.\u201d\nAlthough there are differing opinions in regards to cart drivers, one thing is for certain. This issue has to be addressed before another three or four Stapleton residents purchase these menacing vehicles. \u201cIf something doesn\u2019t happen soon, I will simply move,\u201d said Steiner. And Stapleton cannot afford to lose vocal, concerned residents like Steiner.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
