@Knecole Lambert…
So sorry for the loss of your son.. People do not understand how their words affect others. Placing blame, stereotypes, and accusations on your son does nothing but upset his loved ones. None of these people commenting knew your son nor do they know the situation. Prayers to you and your family and I hope you are able to find peace and comfort during this difficult time.
@KnecoleLambert
My condolences on the passing of your son, Justis.
My heart hurts for you and the family and I pray God’s peace and comfort over you right now. In Jesus name.
My son Justis was a lot of things but a criminal he was not. Please be careful about the things you say about other’s loved ones, whom you know nothing about. Thank you so very much. Blessing to all.
Devil is working overtime in Pensacola. These KIDS have no respect for law or life. , and every damn one of us is to blame. This nation has become a bunch of sissy. My heart hurts to know my granddaughter will have to grow up in this mess.
BETTER WAKE THE HELL UP AMERICA!!!!
“Criminals victimizing other criminals.” Hey steve.. Do you know something we don’t? I didn’t even see the name of the victim yet..
Well, it’s not going to get better. LEOs are so restricted now with case law and Supreme Court rulings. Basically, a lot of the time, all they can do is respond to crime after it’s happened. God forbid they shoot a criminal, in the act of a crime, then they become the enemy and the public sits around judging them, not the criminal. Look at T. Crawford. Shot while dealing drugs and a week out from a trial for trafficking. Now the public makes him out like he some sort of neighborhood good guy whose life was cut short by LEOs. Heck, they just held a rally downtown talking about it…. If the community is not willing to back the cleanup efforts that LEOs have to do the why should we be surprised by all the crime.
Criminals victimizing other criminals.
Problem is they dont stop with just robbing them, but they bring another element in that almost always brings the law into the picture.
THEY SHOOT SOMEONE…
How many robberies happen daily between drug dealers and other criminal types? Lots.. But not reported as it would expose both parties as criminals.
At least crime is down overall…….
Right ?
I agree with Franklin. Well said.
Couldn’t have been stated better “It’s human violence” no respect for human life, no moral conscience. The aftermath of someone’s death is devastating in so many ways for so many…
@Franklin: Amen!
I completely agree with franklins comment. Well said, common sense. Not everyone was gifted with that attribute.
Not intended to be negative to local LE but we need HELP I believe crime has out run the locals ability to control this not unlike other parts of the Country
Wow way to devalue people Anne. Your “relieved that the common thread is people and drugs” don’t get me wrong here, I don’t condone drug use by anyone. For someone to be “relieved blah blah blah” makes you sound very uppity and sheltered. Murder is murder no matter the person’s status. Don’t forget these people have mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, and children. No parent wants to open their door to a police officer having to notify them that their child is dead no matter what their lifestyle. I’m sorry but their life is not less important than any other human being. I would offer this little nugget for you to try…..praying for not only the person that died but for their families and the investigators that work their cases. Trust me even the most law abiding citizens have found themselves on the wrong end of being a victim of murder. I am not a bleeding heart, just simply someone that knows God loves us equally no matter our status.
@Cd2013 ~ Should we insist that murderers only use clubs, knives, ropes, poison or electrical shock? It isn’t “gun violence”; it’s human violence, regardless of their implement of choice. It springs from a dark and Godless heart.
Relieved to hear that the ECSO and PPD have some reason to believe the recent MURDERS and Shootings in the County and City may have a common thread which is DRUGS may be involved.
Imagine that, and it took so long to come to that conclusion.
Leaving the victim wounded or dead in a street or vehicle.
We’re in the running with Chicago.
END GUN VIOLENCE!
Sad to say, but 2020 is off and running with way too many shootings and murders in our area. Just goes to show that society no longer has any respect for human life. SMH.
