Local news reports indicate that the home of Miami Heat's basketball player, Ray Allen, was broken into while his wife and children were asleep. Mrs. Allen awoke to hear the young intruders walking around and even entering her room. This, of course, was a frightening experience especially for a mother and her children since Mr. Allen appeared not to be at home. But, what is even also troubling was the nonchalant attitude of the Coral Gables police. Kelly Denham, Coral Gables Police spokesperson, who was interviewed, made this criminal act seem as if it was no big deal. She gave the impression that the intruders were simply kids playing around??!!. This indifferent attitude appeared to be displayed since the young thugs were attending a party at their wealthy friend's home in the neighborhood. Regardless, it is a crime to break into anyone's home in the wee hours of the morning and thereby scare the occupants. The Coral Gables police response indicates that they intended to give preferential treatment in this case. In fact, they did not even want to identify the teens until they came under pressure. Certainly the police's reaction would be the different if the intruders were African Americans. However, it was good to hear today that the Allen family saw beyond the Coral Gables police's stupid reaction and went ahead and pressed charges against the thugs. So, Ernesto Romero, Jonathan Ramirez, Kevin Ramos, Alana Garcia, Christian Lobo, Angel Sanches, and Jorge Guerrero need to bear the consequences. Coral Gables Police, this is a CRIME not a PRANK!!
