PROTECT AND SERVE? LMAO!!! when i heard about the shooting i later learned that i know the victim…his mother is/was a junkie and his dad, God Rest His Soul is probably turning in his grave knowing the life that his boys are living…he kept them in line..he passed away a few yrs ago and they’ve been going down hill ever since..i pray so hard for the people who reside in the atmore area..the crime rate is just ridiculous now…im scared to go over there to work…it’s like they are shooting/killing for fun and if we dont stay prayed up it’s going to get worse..there is a church on every corner, and i’m starting to think that they are there so that they will have a place to hold the funerals and it’s really sad..Atmore you are forever in our prayers…
Observer: You are absolutely correct that this place needs to be shut down. But, if I’m not mistaken, the club is just outside Atmore City Limits, and the ABC board issues the license for nightclubs, not Atmore PD.
THIS IS ANOTHER ESTABLISHMENT THAT SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN. SEEMS AS THOUGH I REMEMBER ANOTHER CLUB THAT WANTED IT’S LICENSE BACK AND IT WAS NOT GRANTED DUE TO ALL THE CHOIS OVER THERE AND NOW LOOK, ANOTHER STORY ABOUT THE TERRACE. SOMEONE IS ALWAYS FIGHTING/GETTING SHOT THERE…WAKE UP ATMORE PD!!!!!!!!! PULL THEIR LICENSE AND PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS FOR GOOD…THERE CAN BE NO GOOD COME TO THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!
