Council member Newbill Miller and town attorney Frank Reynolds, who met with members of the group at the request of the council, reported that the group had been “cooperative and courteous, but a whole bunch didn’t say anything,” in Mr. Miller’s words.
“I would like to see the community try to work with them to influence them rather than alienate them,” Mr. Miller added.
“I know almost all of them,” Mr. Reynolds added, “and I don’t think they intend anything bad . . . people have been hanging out on street corners in small towns since there have been small towns.”
Chris Keyser, one of about six of the group who attended the Town Council meeting, told the council that most of the group have jobs and work all day. “We are adults, we work hard. But that still doesn’t give us anything to do at night.”
