When are you peooke going to wake up and stop killing each other. All these hobs hiring get up and put in some applications. This is just sad. Killing each other for what? Life is too short to be taking lives. And it’s out young generations. Leave this fast life alone its not where its at. No parents should have to go through this with their child being buried. Sick of seeing R.I.P’s you guys really need to make s change. But I guess some people just don’t care. Its just sad. And sometimes you can’t blame the parents because some parents bust their ass to give their kids the best but when the kids get grown the live their own lives. When kids become grown u can only talk to them u can’t make them anymore like u could whrn they were babies.
My heart hurts . so sorry for tia and the family quay was cool as hell ..yah please help us…
Fedup & Big red do you know the families of the shooter & the deceased? Why are you assuming they’re on welfare, haven’t raised and tried to instill good values in them? You’re making assumptions based on your own prejudices and not on what you know about the families. The fact is that there are many people, black and white, young and old who decide to go down the wrong paths. They come from good backgrounds,singletwo parents home.You’re a part of the problem and not the solution. If you was you’d be praying for all people instead of being a respecter of person. By the way Fedup why don’t you tell us who this “ignorant group of people” you’re referring to because the last time I checked I’ve found ignorant people in ALL groups including yours…whatever that may be….let me guess! Need we ask what group all these brilliant “meth-lab” scientist are coming from???
Yeah, it has become the “wild wild west.” I don’t think you can blame it all on LEO’s and the sheriff. Some of it is upbringing, shows on TV, movies, this crappy music that suggests shooting someone if they do something you don’t want to do. We Our culture seems to idolize thug life, wearing pants so baggy that we have to walk around holding our pants up, Katrina has nothing to do with the way our culture has evolved or devolved. Politics play a role in this as well. When the president gets involved in civil matters and makes statements that decry how LEOs are handling thugs, then it becomes accepted practice to put down law enforcement. Its become a vigilante justice system in this country. For example, the sheriff’s dept. hold meetings with community members and are asking for help with these thugs. They get no response or help from the community cause the mentality in some of these communities is, “we don’t trust the police, we will take care of wronging a right on our own.” Street justice. You cannot fix the violence and the senseless loss of lives with street justice.
How can the sherriff prevent this from happening? When this ignorant group of people live on welfare and other entitlements they just don’t know any better. They have lived this way all their lives and their children will live this way. How can betterment start with the family when they don’t even know who their “family” is.
I can’t count the black eyes I had when I was a teen.I won a few lost a few fights.Next week we were back to being friends.I’m soon to be 73 and several of the boys I fought with and I still keep in touch.We are still good friends and look back and laugh at the fights we had.No one ever even thought of shooting or stabbing the other.Why can’t it be like that today?
How times have changed . When I was 22 we were chasin girls !
DON’T BLAME THE SHERIFF!!! If you want to blame it on someone, put it where it BELONGS. It all starts with the FAMILYYYY. When will people will people ever learn, you have to begin at the family structure, and God has defined that.
@same old same old – these murder rates aren’t new or even necessarily increasing, but they get reported on more. If you compare the number of murders to the size of the greater Escambia county population, the ratio is down, even if the number of occurences aren’t. Unfortunately, as the greater Pensacola population continues to explode, and the increase of those who cling to the “entitlement mentality” grows as well, we will see more and more gang- and drug-related crime.
Another murder another life taken and another life lost.how can we be accepted by other human beings when we kill each other over
……….nothing
All I hear from the sheriff Morgan and his chief Haines is crime is down. Thats all the ever say crime is down… They are liars all I ever see are shooti gs murders and stuff.. Just because thefts are down doesnt mean crime is down. Since Morgan has been sheriff crime has gone up murders shooting heck it seems we’ve had alot of deputies shot also. Its time for a change WE NEED A NEW SHERIFF!!!
Nothing to do with Katrina. It’s just a lack of responsibility and good upbringing. Cowards with guns who has no respect for human life. Can’t fight without shooting someone. Smh. Where is good ole AL or Jessie? Bet their won’t be any protests about this.
Yawn…everyday occurrence here since Katrina.
