It’s a shame that people don’t feel sympathy for the deceased of his family, they only care about what kind of neighborhood he was in. Someone’s son or father or brother is dead. I think that should matter.
Chicago school if criminology theory at work here.
At least in his incident nobody can blame a dilapidated building like it was the case in Atmore. Somehow it is always an outside force that is at fault in killings like this.
@ Steve. It was in an unincorporated part of the county where there is no city police protection.
Steve, that’s considered Ensley/North Olive Heights, but I agree with the description. It’s a high density, low income area known for drugs, prostitution, domestic violence, and various other crimes, with lots of dark places to do dastardly things.
Even if you put a cop on every other corner it won’t stop the drug trade or domestic homicides. Homicides are extremely unpredictable as they are usually crimes of passion and or drug involved.
Poor John. Watch a lot of CNN?
@ Steve car city is south of I 10
@John
Feel free to voluntarily pay pay all the extra property taxes you feel like paying…but leave me out of it.
The more money I save in property taxes means the more money I get to purchase more .45 ACP ammo to fire back at these punks.
Please be careful out there my friends we are living in bad times
To John.. That killing was just north of I10 off 29 in car city area.. So it has nothing to do with being in the URBAN area but more of a +++ area.
if you believe that you are lost.
People need to realize that the problem is that most of urban Escambia County is in unincorporated territory leaving a Sheriffs department which is stretched too thin to be the primary law enforcement agency. There is a reason for the city of Pensacola having fewer homicides because they are in the jurisdiction of a police department so they have better enforcement. Sometimes it makes sense to pay those extra property taxes in order to have safer streets. Just sayin.
