    wow I just saw about another shooting children are going to get killed its time to turn these people in Drugs are gonna be sold no matter what yes it sucks but Its time for some of these older drug dealers to step up get these shooters out before a child is killed Lock these drug neighborhoods down officers post up in them right in front of the dope boys mess their business up tell them to call crimestoppers end the killing. yes I know we have to arrest all criminals but at the same time put pressure on them to give these killers up. This will work. someone will get tired of loosing money and call crimestoppers please talk and let people know how it works they will not be “put out there” for telling. This has got to stop it is to scary.

    So thefts are up, murder is up, rape is up, drug violence is up. Good job David Morgan!! I know that your officers will be much more comfortable in their new full sized SUV’s as opposed to those awful cruisers. The SUV’s should be better on gas as well! Oh and whatever came of the investigation into that poor girl that was stabbed to death and her body dumped in the Well’s Fargo parking lot? Oh wait, no one heard about that one.

    I forgot, you people don’t actually investigate anything. This county is in a steady decline. Is that the kind of “MOMENTUM” you want to keep up?

    REGARDING:
    “I could talk to some of these drug dealers and tell them that this is getting out of control with the shootings and explain that as long as these shootings and killings are going on that I would have to start “locking these neighborhoods down” that means clearing them out by any means. ”

    If you don’t kill fewer people, I’m going to enforce the laws against what you’re doing?

    David considering a promising plan

    I would get more involved in the community and at the same time I would understand that I can not make all the drugs go away but at the same time I could talk to some of these drug dealers and tell them that this is geting out of control with the shootings and explain that as long as these shootings and killings sre going on that I would have to start “locking these neighborhoodsdown” that means clearing them out by anymeans. Ok now for you people who are reading this and have never dealt with these people you will not understand that the older people will start taking care of this in there own way. you kinda have had to live the life to understand how to work it. Kinda how prison inmates police theirself tell your local main dope boy that one you know that cant be caught for what ever reason but you know is on top that for every shooting 10 of his people will go to jail and well what ever those 10 people tell on will have to be checked out. sounds harsh but pressure on the top does help your crime rate. If you cant bring them to talk to these drug dealers like people wich they are they have familes also you should tell them to give you these killers who have shot these people call crimestoppers so then they wont be involved id not people are gona start going to jail.

    Please tell us EXACTLY what Sheriff Morgan could have done to prevent this. Better yet, tell us what YOU could have done to prevent this. Keep in mind that this will require some independent thought, not just jumping on the anti-Morgan bandwagon.

    So crime is down Morgan? Wasn’t there a murder last week? And another one yesterday along with another 2 or 3 other shootings this week. Hmmm seems to me, and mind you im just a voting tax paying citizen. But those seems like bigger crimes then some giving a cash donation of more than $50 ??? Im just saying, hell I could be wrong???? By the way Morgan your people had no problem taking a $75 cash donation from my neighbor (TR) several months back???? DON’T THROW STONES WHEN YOU LIVE IN A GLASS HOUSE!!!

    rouge means red
    rough means not smooth, bumpy, turbulent, unpleasant

    I’m not griping.
    I never gripe.

    I just enjoyed thinking of a bunch of red law violators running around. It looks like they’d be easy to spot.

    Meanwhile, those considering murder, please reconsider.
    You cause too much grief

    David for easy identifiers
    and less pain

    I will be surprised when I don’t see a shooting every nite. But the garbage is picked up and those dastardly election rules violators are taken care of pronto. Do you feel safe in this county I don’t.

    Another shooting what’s that’s 3-4 in the last few days but Morgan tells us violent crime is down. That must be why he can spend all his time with that dangerous cash donation violation. You know shootings, rapes, murders, drugs etc don’t matter. But by god if your running for office you better not take over $50 in cash or full wrath of Morgan and his BFF B. Eddins will come down on you because some laws just shouldn’t be broken. We the people are safer …not…!!!!!!
