Regardless of what anyone thinks if this is on their own land then too bad so sad they have the right to build whatever they want. I want no one to tell me what I can do on my land and I afford the same rights to anyone else. Get over it. This will bring in money and offer entertainment for many people. If you are concerned about your kids then do a better job of parenting and keep them safe. Everyone is moaning about there being no jobs, well this will bring jobs.

The Mob tends to be camera-shy. Seriously, who do you think will be operating this?

Im glad they are putting a casino here in BA. It brings jobs here and we need it. Not all of us are well-off and need something different. I love casinos and I think the main reason people don't want one in BA is because it's a church town. Now Im a church going person but I feel thats the main reason. I don't see how it will make BA a more violent place to live. Look at what the Hard Rock has done for Catoosa. I think it's great idea. I'm rooting for the tribe on this one.

Funny how no one in the video actually said hy are for he caino. One called the residents of BA violent land-grabbing monsters while the other called us stupid for wanting to protect our home values and keep the area a safe place to live. If hat is he definition of stupid, then I am certainly lad I'm stupid. I have been very dismayed by the people who "support" the casino. Most have resorted to personal attacks and throwing out the race card. This is not about race. It is about building a casino in a residential area and across the street from a school. We don't even know who is behind the casino. The Kialegee Tribe has roughly 400 members. They have claimed they are a poor tribe. So who is footing the bill to build this?
