Plaza Park — Attraction in Oxnard

Salsa Festival was strategically delivered with pizzazz and entertainment. On a regular day to day basis the security guards should have more compassion and humanity when it comes to their attitude and treatment of the homeless community. I've passed by and sat down to rest from the heat, and this fat security guard approached me and told me I couldn't loiter and to get a move on. All because I was carrying a large backpack, my purse, and dressed casually!
