Can't Fight the Adults?  Attack the Children Instead!

My 11 year old son has spoken at several town and county meetings regarding the issues that effect the children of our community due to the trap and skeet range. One Friday as my son got off the school bus, a small green  car left the range, the driver must have recognized him from the public meetings, turned the car around and gave my son the finger.

Not only is the range unhealthy to our community in the physical sense, but now we have to contend with the inappropriate behavior of the patrons that come into our neighborhood and be concerned about their actions towards our CHILDREN? I have a description of the "gentleman" and his vehicle and I am filing a police report.
The actions of the patrons of the gun range towards us in the past several weeks have been nothing short of illegal. Now they have resorted to despicable behavior towards our CHILDREN?
At what point will action be taken to move this facility to a location where it doesn't effect the quality of life of an entire community? My son and all of the other 16 children that live in our cul -de- sacs (Leslie Lane and John Court) should be able to get on and off their school buses each day and not have to be exposed to the noise, the lead and now the disgraceful behavior of the "sportsmen" that use this monstrosity that is the Trap and Skeet Range.
