“Armed Uniformed State Law Enforcement Officer for Protection from Resident Predators at Board Meetings and Residents Packing Pistols”
This report concerns the unrelenting bullying, harassment, and aggression being perpetrated against me and others for which the community leadership has not only done virtually nothing, but in some cases actively condoned and contributed to it by their own conduct, making them complicit in it, as detailed below.
Here are some comments written by director Arthur for this report:
“The divisions that we see here in Cascade Lakes are very much manufactured; my wife and I are labeled and called many disgusting and despicable things because of our honesty, and all of it is coming from individuals who are afraid of losing their power and purpose. These manufactured lies are being fanned out and gobbled up by their blind and obedient soldiers, so hungry to be included in the upper ranks.
Truth, honesty, respect, trust, and transparency do not exist here in Cascade Lakes because they are being manufactured out of existence. Those of us who maintain these qualities are being demonized and lied about. There is no honor, no independence of thought, and no humanity.”
Because Cascade Lakes is run by goons and predators (see previous reports), on Friday morning, April 28, 2023 at 10:35am, director Arthur sent an email to the rest of the board and the property manager requesting that they get control of the out-of-control residents who are stalking, harassing, assaulting, and otherwise bullying me, his wife, particularly at Board meetings.
These goons are also doing the same to other owners and I have reported on it. The physical and verbal aggression against me and others must be called out and decorum needs to be instituted. Jeff, the HOA president, is the presiding officer in charge of the meetings. He has consistently failed in his responsibility and fiduciary duty in that regard.
Here is Arthur’s email sent at 10:35am on April 28, 2023 to the rest of the board and the property manager:
“Fellow directors,
The incident of aggression by a resident and his wife toward my wife was published back on April 19, 2023. The resident and his wife were the aggressors and it was in full view of witnesses. It was so bad that in fact, I am seriously considering hiring an armed off duty sheriff’s deputy for the next Board meeting to protect her from these out-of-control residents, and it’s because Jeff and my other fellow board members refuse to control Board meetings, thus exposing the HOA to liability.
Jeff has repeatedly failed to keep his meetings under control during and after the meetings. He allows Chick to continually chase, stalk, and provoke my wife during the meetings. He even told Vicki, “If you’re scared, leave.” He allowed Chick and two other members to corner an elderly widow after a Board meeting because they didn’t like what she said, which was her opinion, during the residents’ input session.
And at this last board meeting, the husband and wife tag team worked in unison, first provoking another member (the husband gave another member the finger from across the room) and then stopped my wife from leaving the ballroom while the wife was coming at her again as she had previously done at a candidate meet and greet where she was so aggressive that she came at my wife, who was seated, and screamed at my wife, “You’re a fucking cunt!” with her finger in my wife’s face, and it was so aggressive that a third man had to bear hug this repeat out-of-control aggressor from behind and literally drag her away from my wife.
These types of assaults, harassment, and bullying tactics in common areas need to be addressed when they occur. This also includes the harassment of residents at the community pool for being known as a friend or acquaintance of my wife and me and it also includes giving the predator pervert Chick Coletta repeated passes for his vile message board attacks on my wife.
Some of you fan the flames and promote them by telling them that if you’re friends with my wife and me you can’t be accepted in the community, and you make false and fraudulent claims against me such as what occurred at the last board meeting when you created a false censure to rile them up. Someone’s going to get hurt and it will be on you and there could be a major lawsuit against this HOA because you failed in your duties and actually encouraged this behavior through your continued conduct and your continued behavior.
For those of you who missed reading the report from nine days ago, here is an excerpt from that report exactly as written by my wife and without edit; it was written immediately after the board meeting, as opposed to this resident ticket which is now nine days later after they’ve heard the false spin on what actually happened, which I also heard. Here’s the report immediately after the incident which was published and emailed to residents literally hours thereafter, and no one in the interim has challenged any of the facts and for good reason – every word is true. Here it is:
“Part III: “More Aggressive Residents in the Land of Goons”
At the end of the board meeting, Steve Schlosser, husband of Jane Krive (the ranting, cursing woman referenced in the main report below), provocatively gave owner George Klein, who was sitting behind me and minding his own business, the middle finger from across the room.
Thereafter, when I was making my way to the exit, both Steve and his wife, the ill-tempered and overly aggressive Ms. Krive, came at me physically as I was trying to leave.
This is the second time she has come at me physically, the first time (referenced in the main report below) was when she had to be restrained by another man as she was wagging her finger in my face as I was seated in a private home where she wasn’t invited and crashed the event, and she screamed at me, “you’re a f***ing c***!”.
This woman is on the Grievance Committee, so good luck there, too, unless your name is Chick Coletta, then you’re good to go.
So this time when the ill-tempered and overly aggressive Ms. Krive physically went at me and her husband then followed suit, also coming at me, I opened my purse and took out my pepper spray and warned them both several times to back off. I had purchased the pepper spray to keep the other predator, Chick Coletta, at bay, after he repeatedly stalked me at board meetings.
The switch to the small cannister was in the locked position at that time. Not only did they repeatedly ignore my multiple warnings to back off and get away from me, as I was backing up myself to try and distance myself from them, Ms. Krive continued to taunt and mock me, saying, “oh, you have a taser?” as she was doing a little dance-like maneuver while continuing to approach me.
At that point, Arthur put his hand out and told Ms. Krive to back off, and I then gave them both another warning: “I’m now unlocking it; BACK OFF.” All of this was going on as we were trying to leave the ballroom. At one point, Steve, the husband, blocked my exit and the HOA president, Jeff Green, had made his way over to the exit, and I looked at him and said, “hey, he’s not letting me leave, control this situation.”
Apparently then Schlosser moved outside the ballroom a little bit away from the exit and then Jeff said, “you can go now.” (Gee, thanks.)
I really didn’t expect to have to take out the pepper spray for others, but now I know, so it’s a good thing I have it with me. Do I need to hire an armed guard? Because maybe a cop won’t be as forbearing and patient as I have been.
I can only imagine how the widow felt when she was cornered and horribly harassed by Chick and two other men after the July 20, 2022 Board meeting (see link to that July 21, 2022 CL-Update below entitled, “Goons Galore? Alleged Serious Harassment of a Widowed Owner by Several Male Residents Including One Self-Proclaimed ‘Number One Bully’ After the July 20, 2022 Board Meeting”).
The rest of my below report other than the above updates stands as reported.”
So it’s long past the time for the leadership, which is most of you, not me, to throw down the gauntlet and tell these people that there will be a zero-tolerance policy for this type of assault, abuse, and harassment toward my wife and her friends and acquaintances, and you should make it very clear that it’s the assaulting, harassing, and bullying being reigned on my wife and the harassing and bullying of me and those who support us, specifically not the other way around.
Arthur”
Arthur received no response to that Friday morning email, which is typical because the rest of the Board except for Director Sue almost always ignores his emails. In fact, as of this publication, May 17, 2023, no one ever responded at all to Arthur’s April 28, 2023 morning email (the above email) on this serious matter of public safety.
Hearing nothing from anyone on the Board or the property manager, I formally requested an off-duty armed officer at our personal expense for my protection at the next board meeting of May 17, 2023. I did so because we believed that the sight of an armed uniformed law enforcement officer would act as a sufficient deterrent.
Meanwhile, as I previously reported, when I was aggressively approached and harassed and my egress was prevented after the last board meeting, I warned those aggressors to BACK OFF with a warning of the potential use of pepper spray. They came from one side of the room to my space and invaded it aggressively and the husband blocked my exit.
Days later, after the fact, what actually happened was typically falsely spun into something that didn’t happen. Every single one of these acts of aggression in fact occurred because the aggressor approached me, or another resident, from the other side of the room, got in our respective spaces, and/or wouldn’t let us leave as they were engaging in their harassment and assault.
Remember that the word assault in the legal sense also means the threat or attempt to cause physical harm, and approaching in a menacing way and/or preventing one’s movement constitutes an assault (and can also potentially be a false imprisonment).
In actuality, the pepper spray was originally purchased for my protection based on prior board meetings where I was repeatedly chased around the room by another predator (Chick Coletta, the pervert) and those were also the subject of prior reports published on this News Site.
He also got in my face on the pool deck and interfered with my attempt to leave that location as well, also reported. He is also one of the residents who pinned a widow against the board table after the July 20, 2022 board meeting while harassing her mercilessly, also reported. He also sent pornographic material to another resident, also reported.
I was also the recipient of pornographic material through the United States mail. In fact, I made a complaint with the post office, and thereafter the multiple pornographic packages were addressed to me (and in one case, Arthur) but sent to and care of the property manager’s office, and they had to deal with it as well.
That could constitute a toxic work environment and sexual harassment which could put the HOA at risk. After the HOA president purportedly told him to stop, those packages stopped arriving.
When predator/pervert Coletta posted vile material on the HOA message board, predator Jane Krive, who is on the Grievance Committee, gave him a pass. This is entirely consistent with her admission that she enjoyed being vile to me, so one sadist gave a pass to another sadist and the rest of the committee followed suit.
And all of this has been documented and published immediately after each incident occurred, including the incident involving encircling the widow and harassing her after a board meeting for having an opinion that differed from that of the bullies, some of whom run this place along with their underlings.
A resident sent in a ticket to the Board concerned about what was actually a false story he heard concerning what happened after the Board meeting when I was compelled to take out a cannister of pepper spray to try and stop two residents who were coming at me, which I have previously reported.
One of those predators (Jane Krive) admitted to some of her misdeeds in writing in a separate email circulated to most residents, and she included the fact that she enjoyed engaging in her predatory behavior, writing that she knew it was “immature” and “low class” but then stating, “but, boy, did it feel good!” Those are exact quotes from her email.
Apparently, the resident who sent in the question to the board was going to be told by the president, Jeff, that they will be “addressing the situation,” whatever that means.
On May 3, 2023, Arthur then wrote the following email to the Board and property manager:
“Jeff and All:
The below is what you are sending to him? Without discussion among us? And how are you intending to address it? I think this is extremely important, especially since Ms. Jane Krive ADMITTED IN WRITING to:
1. yelling at my wife that my wife was a F***ing C***,
2. coming within 4 feet of my wife (who was seated against a wall, and in fact she came closer than that),
3. that her (Jane’s) behavior was “immature and low class,”
4. that she felt real good about doing it, and
5. that she then laughed aloud at my wife (after the last board meeting concluded).
And it was a lot worse than Ms. Krive even admits to. In fact, at the end of the board meeting on April 19, 2023, Ms. Krive and her husband beelined over from across the other side of the room straight for my wife in order to continue tormenting her and this was after her husband gave the middle finger to another resident.
When I finally got there, I had to physically put myself as a barrier in front of my wife, and I extended my arm and my hand out, and also told them to back off multiple times as they continued to approach her and taunt her.
The proper way for you to have resolved this was to have told and to tell people that if they don’t like the opinions of others to keep their distance and don’t engage.
Residents have every right to defend themselves in and around common areas.
Jeff, you also allowed another resident to chase my wife repeatedly in the ballroom, on numerous occasions, and instead of admonishing the predator, you told the victim that if she were afraid to just leave.
The perpetrator who was chasing her around during several board meetings previously teamed up with two other residents after a different board meeting, July 20, 2022, and pinned a widow against the board table. Why did you allow them to harass her? And then you purportedly told her that if she reported it, you would not help her. So you intimidated her into not making a report. That’s abrogating your fiduciary duty, and it might also be a crime, but you’ll have to ask your lawyer to confirm that.
I sent you all an email asking if we needed to hire at our own expense, a private law-enforcement officer to keep these people at bay because you apparently refused to do so, and in some cases are complicit with it. Not one of you responded to my email.
It is clear by your previous and continuous behavior towards me and my wife and others that you and your associates are really out of control, and this is unacceptable, and it hurts this community and puts the HOA at legal risk.
Another good example is the insertion of demonstrably false, fraudulent, and misinformation into the official board packet AFTER the board meeting to attempt to justify a demonstrably false and fraudulent and unauthorized censure of me which you and two of your cronies managed to do.
The emails that went to the webmasters were conveniently left out. And they were truthful and also included my opinion. In those emails I set forth the website Terms of Service which were violated by the same predator that you are protecting once again, who repeatedly attacks my wife in his message board posts, and my wife is repeatedly harassed, bullied, verbally assaulted, and chased around the ballroom by this large man.
And now you are devising ways to protect Jane Krive, who’s rushing my wife and screaming vile curse words at her that she admits to and who is another real threat here.
Back to the censure for a moment: you also falsely claimed that with respect to an election report that representation was made on behalf of the official Cascade Lakes website, which is patently false on its face.
You then falsely claimed that I contacted a resident on behalf of the board which is false, but then you did it yourself anyway.
You claimed I gave out some kind of confidential information, which you failed to identify, and which is not privileged, when is fact, everybody knows you routinely give out a plethora of internal details at your pool meetings with your buddies, because a lot of them know more information behind the scenes than I do.
Those are but a few examples of the corruption you engaged in with respect to the illegal censure you did against me. I could go through the paperwork you filed after the fact, line by line, and refute all of it. I did so privately in my own home after I saw it in the FirstService portal for the first time over a week later. None of this was in the board packet prior to or during the board meeting or even on the agenda. All that was in the board packet was a censure proposal for potential use prospectively and you didn’t even address or pass that document. So that entire process was corrupt.
So I would like to know exactly how you people intend to address the situation with aggressive, threatening, and hostile residents physically coming at my wife in common areas because you’re allowing it to continue and to actually escalate. And my wife has every right to be in and around the common areas and to feel safe as opposed to this.
Be advised that in the state of Florida every single person has a right to defend themselves. You may not abrogate that right in any way, shape, or form, and doing so actually gives these predators free reign to terrorize my wife and other residents whose opinions differ from yours or others.
Arthur”
Hearing nothing, as usual, from anyone, Arthur then wrote the following third email to the Board and property manager on the evening of May 3, 2023:
“All:
In furtherance of my below email, here is a copy of the Florida Stand Your Ground Law:
"776.012 Use or threatened use of force in defense of person.—
(1) A person is justified in using or threatening to use force, except deadly force, against another when and to the extent that the person reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to defend himself or herself or another against the other’s imminent use of unlawful force. A person who uses or threatens to use force in accordance with this subsection does not have a duty to retreat before using or threatening to use such force.
(2) A person is justified in using or threatening to use deadly force if he or she reasonably believes that using or threatening to use such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony. A person who uses or threatens to use deadly force in accordance with this subsection does not have a duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground if the person using or threatening to use the deadly force is not engaged in a criminal activity and is in a place where he or she has a right to be."
My wife has every right to protect herself from these repeat predators. Now kindly make a point of advising the community that there is a zero-tolerance policy for the kind of threatening abuse that is regularly being perpetrated on my wife and others. You should instruct them to stand down and behave civilly and to keep away from my wife and others whom they don't like or with whom they disagree. These individuals act in a bullying, harassing, threatening, and sadistically tormenting way toward my wife and other residents/members and particularly with respect to my wife, they do it continually and with your stamp of approval. One individual (Krive) you appointed to the Grievance Committee who gave a pass to the other predator (Coletta).
So it is long past the time for you to put a stop to this instead of fanning the flames and going after the victims/targets. Every member of this community has the right to the use and enjoyment of the common areas. It is your obligation to provide a safe environment. If you fail and refuse to do so, and/or act in a way that promotes it, thankfully there's a Stand Your Ground Law in this state.
Arthur”
Once again, there was silence. None of Arthur’s emails were ever acknowledged or responded to by anyone.
A week later, on May 10, 2023, the Board sent out the following mass email to the community, which appears to have been crafted in large part or in whole by the HOA attorney, without the knowledge of some board members, including Arthur of course, but once Jeff emailed it to the entire Board and Arthur saw it, Arthur immediately approved it.
It is nevertheless appreciated and I want to personally thank the attorney for this well-written document:
“Dear Members of the Community:
It has come to the Board’s attention that there may be one or more members of the Cascade Lakes Community who have felt intimidated or threatened as a result of other persons’ actions at recent Board meetings. More specifically, we understand that there may be one or more members of the community who have been involved in incidents, either during or shortly after meetings, in which they have perceived themselves to be the victims of intimidation and/or harassment. Without getting into the specifics of any such incidents, and without passing judgment on any persons, the Board felt that it was important to communicate to all the members of the community that nobody, whether a member of the Board, management or staff, or residents who attend our Board meetings, should be subject to any intimidation, harassment or aggression being aimed towards them.
We are writing to the community to remind our residents that Board meetings are open to all members of the community and are for the purpose of the Board conducting its necessary business. Residents have the right to attend such meetings and have the right to participate and speak on agenda items at the first resident session. Members do not have the right to speak over other persons who have been recognized to speak.
Cascade Lakes endeavors to be a harmonious community and a place where everybody can feel welcome. It is important that meetings be run with proper decorum and that the business of the community can be conducted in a proper manner, and we expect that all of our residents and those who attend our meetings will give everyone the courtesy of allowing our meetings to be conducted in that way.
We thank all residents for your attention to this very important matter and look forward to your participation in future board meetings.
From the Board of Directors”
That’s a step in the right direction, but the responsibility really rests at the top: the majority of the Board should have nipped this in the bud a long time ago, but they actually condoned and encouraged it (“if you’re afraid, you can leave” is what Jeff, the president, said to me during a recent board meeting when the predator/pervert Chick Coletta physically came at me for the umpteenth time).
And this predator pervert, Chick Coletta, was often seen chasing me around the ballroom during multiple board meetings, following and stalking me wherever I went to sit to get away from him, breathing down my neck, leaning over to get as close as possible (it was nauseating and vomitous), and no one did a G-d damn thing about it.
In fact, it escalated because of comments like Jeff’s which take aim at the victim/target, which is backwards, and which give a stamp of approval to the bad actor’s conduct. Note that the president told the victim to leave, not the non-owner predator/pervert, to whom he addressed no comments whatsoever. That’s condoning it, Jeff. And the rest of you on the board who stayed silent when you had a duty to speak: shame on you, too.
Due to the volatility and impulse control issues of these other residents, and their predatory behavior, and because the leadership clearly takes a passive aggressive role in failing to control the meetings, which every member has a right to attend and should be able to attend safely, in order to protect me before, during, and after the Board meeting, we hired a Game Warden from the Florida Wildlife Commission at our personal expense.
Why a Game Warden you ask? For starters, because they deal with animals and carry guns. Ergo, they’re perfect for this HOA’s group of out-of-control miscreants and predators aka animals and they have the authority and means to enforce the law, i.e., to arrest individuals for any unlawful behavior.
Critically, they are full law enforcement officers, and they have state jurisdiction, which is a much wider jurisdiction than a local agency such as a police department or sheriff’s office. In other words, they’re higher up on the totem pole, and in some cases, they have concurrent Federal jurisdiction, so they’re actually the highest on the totem pole, even above state troopers, who, upon information and belief, have no federal overlap.
Under Florida statutes 379.3311 and 379.3313, they have full authority and jurisdiction in the entire state and for the purposes for which they were hired and they have full authority to detain and arrest. In essence, they’re the top of the line in terms of law enforcement capabilities and they are, in fact, full law enforcement officers.
And these state peace officers have the right to enter any land for the performance of their duties, and such entry shall specifically not constitute a trespass, per the statutes. This necessarily includes private property and in fact it often does.
On May 17, 2023 I showed up, at my and Arthur’s personal expense, at the board meeting with the aforementioned uniformed and armed Florida state law enforcement officer by my side, and let me tell you, his services don’t come cheap. But we put no price on my safety.
It’s amazing what a uniform and a gun will do, i.e., maintain law and order, and if this is what it takes to exercise my rights around here and to be properly protected for doing so, then so be it. This is the community created by those in leadership here.
This state law enforcement officer was a young, huge guy in full law enforcement gear. He stood at the side of the ballroom closest to the exit for the entire meeting. I took a seat in the front row, as is my practice at almost every single board meeting.
Predator/pervert Chick Coletta entered the room a few minutes later, and true to form and notwithstanding the fact that there were plenty of open seats in the ballroom, apparently not initially noticing the officer, made a beeline for me and plopped himself down next to me.
I immediately jumped up and quickly went to the officer and stood beside him for a few minutes. I then took the last chair in the row closest to the exit and closest to the law enforcement officer where I remained for the rest of the meeting.
For the first time, predator/pervert Chick Coletta didn’t chase me over there and sit within inches of me because by then he saw the law enforcement officer whom I ran to stand next to because of his initial provocative act.
During the second residents’ input session, a resident asked a question about the “armed security” and Jeff gave the floor to Arthur.
Jeff: “you want to talk about that?”
Arthur: “I thought it was necessary to provide protection for my wife and I think it’s getting out of hand and I don’t want her or anyone to get hurt. As an example, this morning, my wife is sitting down, Chick comes in and sits right next to her. The room is open [plenty of seats] and every board meeting he does this, and she moves, and he would follow her. He does not like her. If you don’t like her, please keep your distance. There is no need to get in her face and say nasty things.”
Arthur also made a great point as we briefly discussed it when we got home: if you don’t like someone, why are you constantly trying to sit with her, or sit behind her leaning into her so your breath is felt on the back of her neck, trying to be near her whenever you see her, emailing her profanity, and chasing her repeatedly around the ballroom?
But back to the meeting. After the meeting, predator/pervert Sylvester “Chick” Coletta approached the officer (at which point I moved behind the officer and again up against the wall near the ballroom exit door, just like last month when I backed up against the same wall when predators Krive and Schlosser came at me from all the way across the room).
Coletta then started to tell the officer about Arthur and me, claiming that “95% of the community hates them, wants them to move, they don’t go to clubs, parties, no one wants to sit with them” and other drivel, gross hyperbole, bunk, and garbage. The officer told him that he was agitating people even with those statements and asked him why he was doing that. I did not hear any response from the predator/pervert.
What was lovely was that before the meeting began, when I was initially seated toward the center of the front row, and before predator/pervert Chick Coletta arrived in the ballroom for the meeting, a good number of people came up to me, and either said hi to me, shook my hand, and/or asked how I was, and this was in plain view of everyone.
And to the gentleman who shook my hand, please feel free to call me for a get-together for coffee and some good conversation.
After the meeting, in the parking lot, the officer advised us that it appeared that one of my predators, Steve Schlosser, had a “concealed carry” because the officer noticed the bulge of a weapon during the meeting (Schlosser was walking around before the meeting and also spoke at the podium about the rear gate recurring issue and was clearly visible, and the officer also noted that he was wearing an NRA T-shirt).
In other words, Schlosser was purportedly carrying a concealed weapon, i.e., a gun. The officer was able to specifically name Schlosser because he had his name and photo well before the meeting, as I had personally provided law enforcement with the full names and photos of this Trio of Troublemakers (Sylvester aka Chick Coletta, Jane Krive, and Steven Schlosser).
The officer also advised us that he noticed a second male resident was also carrying a concealed weapon. So at least two male residents were identified by the law enforcement officer as carrying concealed guns into the meeting. If they are properly licensed, this is 100% legal. However, a predator with a weapon is never a good thing.
While it’s clearly no match for a gun, the pepper spray will continue to be in my possession for my protection and self-defense; I hope that with the current knowledge of its presence, that will be deterrent enough. Note to sadistic predators: just stay away from your prey; this one will defend herself as permitted by law.
I say sadistic because one of them, Jane Krive, admitted in writing, “boy, did it feel good!” regarding her predatory behavior, and the other one, Chick Coletta, clearly derives pleasure from his predatory behavior because he constantly engages in it.
Krive’s boyfriend, Steve Schlosser, also behaves in a menacing way. (Per official Palm Beach County property records, Krive and Schlosser are not married.)
Getting an orgasmic feeling from tormenting others is sick. Being sick doesn’t give you a pass. And allowing one of these sadists (Jane Krive) to remain on the Grievance Committee invites more abuse. She should be immediately removed.
One doesn't need to be a trained clinician to know that someone who gets pleasure out of attacking another human being has a mental health issue. But that does not mean that one gives them a pass: they are still fully responsible for their actions and the consequences that flow therefrom. If they lack filters and/or impulse control, they are still responsible for their actions.
Some of these individuals repeatedly and deliberately with full knowledge of what they are doing and with full intention of their conduct PREY ON OTHERS: they not only prey on me, but also preyed on the widow who reported being menacingly cornered and screamed at after a prior board meeting by predator/pervert Chick Coletta and two other men.
Other residents also report being harassed at the pool and common areas multiple times for their purported friendship or acquaintanceship with Arthur and me.
In fact, multiple residents have informed us that predator/pervert Chick Coletta regularly approaches new residents at the pool and instructs them to stay away from Arthur and me and slanders us by falsely telling them that everyone is nice but us.
Coletta’s behavior is what is actually causing the strife, divisiveness, and discontent in the community. This is the same guy who bragged that he was Cascade Lakes’ “Number One Bully” to the widow he cornered at the July 20, 2022 board meeting while he was screaming at her along with his buddies.
These perpetrators are PREDATORS because they repeatedly engage in PREDATORY BEHAVIOR (Jane Krive and Chick Coletta to name the obvious repeat offenders).
It is noteworthy that 100% of the incidents are a result of these predators menacingly approaching others, not the other way around: every single incident consists of one-way aggressive maneuvers, where the predator repeatedly approaches the victim from across the room or across the pool deck.
In the meantime, having to hire an armed uniformed state law enforcement officer to attend a board meeting because of the uncontrolled behavior of the true bullies tells you even more about this place and the denizens who inhabit it than has already been reported, and the reporting has been extensive.
Maybe that’s why some people have already moved and others are considering putting their homes up for sale and actively looking elsewhere: they can’t stand the hateful atmosphere promulgated by those in leadership positions and their adjuncts.
It’s long past the time for this type of behavior to be called out; the HOA attorney’s well-crafted email distributed by the Board was a good - albeit woefully late - start, but there needs to be firmness and consistency in calling out this behavior and immediate consequences if it continues.
If the leadership is not going to insist on law and order and nip these incidents in the bud when they occur and immediately enforce consequences (such as ordering the removal of the perpetrators, instead of telling the victims to leave if they’re afraid: that’s backwards, insulting, stupid, and reckless), then you will continue to have chaos, and innocent people will continue to be at risk.
Until the community leadership takes a firm stand on this, the reputation of this place will continue to deteriorate and disintegrate, and yours truly will continue to hire law enforcement personnel.
