Yeah, thanks NRA, for being one of the organizations trying to keep this a free country. the socialism being pushed on kids in school nowadays will gain a strong foothold if something isn’t done.
demographics is a study of a population by age, race, and sex. not my words, just a definition i found online. when the right to bear arms is taken away, this country is finished. we have got to keep people like Rational from taking over.
stop and frisk? i dunno, seems to me a lawman has always had to have justifiable reason to stop someone, and that has always been good enough up to now. too bad people have to do drugs, the world would be such a better place if they were only used for illnesses.
@ Rational. We didn’t have this nearly as much under Ron McNesby’s watch (violent crime under McNesby was way lower), but you can continue to blame law abiding gun owners because that’s what you’re told to do. Have a nice day.
@ Rational
Now that you have the NRA cornered, lets start on AAA for all these car wrecks around here. I agree with the “Duke.” Watching the news, all over the nation, there is a demographic issue that should be discussed.
The problem starts in homes with no family structure, When things like this happen , the extended family of he victim is still sticking their heads into the sand. ” A good boy, just about to get ready to make something of himself, terrific baby daddy, etc.”
Lives should count every day and not only become valuable when a police shooting is involved.
Thank you NRA.
This is a demography problem, not geographic.
All the comments to follow I’m sure are heart felt and honest but if you want to really make a difference tell your sons, daughters and grandkids to help the community. Law enforcement careers are very available and positions need to be filled. Sometimes good people have to step up not just talk about stepping up. And yes I’m already in the field and would love to see more brothers and sisters join me.
Stop praying and start bulldozing everything from A st to Mobile hwy. bulldoze it all and start again.
And it was such a nice neighborhood..back when Tristan Deluna hit town
Sadly, the home was built in the 30’s and is probably and statistically great grand-mama’s home that was passed down through generations to a thug grandson. Gang and drug related criminal activity. Condolences to the family of the deceased individual.
Stop and frisk helps to cut down these type of actions. And I mean stop and frisk for all races.
What a go Pensacola, now your trying
to keep up with Chicago……..
Its only time before we see and hear of
this…..
Lord ham mercy Tom do u hear wat u are saying ! I am over here like really .. See back in da days we got our butt whoop and we was made to go to church .but now you cant whoop your kids and we dont make our kids go to church like back in da days .. Yes dey have done wrong but who are we ? God got dis we have to take our kids back from these street because da street dont love dem at all. We have to stop being our kids friends and be parents to dem like our parent have done.. Tom we got to fet in control of these kids today we have to show dem better instead of let dem do bad things or words teach dem like our parents done . Wen we came up we got whooping and even beat down but u didnt see or hear anything like dis shooting everytime you cut on da tv .. Our court room over crowd because u cant discipline your kid .. Just look back over your life and see what i am trying to say.. But on da other hand sound like u saying kill all of them and da ones who not dead put dem in jail. Not going to solve anything got to teach our kids and stop letting da state do it ..Praying for these families !!!
the bosses that collect the cash from these drug deals probably giggle like schoolgirls over idiots like these that kill each other for a little scrap of money. they think they are gonna work their way up to being kingpins like Tony Montana or something. they will not, they will be dead or in prison.
they think they are tough and strong, but are really weak in brain. and the people who are really responsible for all this mess are the drug addicts, the weakest people on the planet that need rehab: to be wrapped in swaddling cloth and bottlefed like a baby and nursed out of their addiction, though i think most of them enjoy their weakness and would go right back to doing drugs and enjoy the attention they get from the “straights” and will use them, considering them fools to be taken advantage of.
Another one of many unpredictable and unstoppable acts of violence and anger that the very best law enforcement cannot stop or prevent.
Yes, having Citizens who are willing to speak up and help identify the criminals is the first step in good case resolution and arrests.
Just a guess this is another incident resulting from Gang Related Activities and Drug Related Activities putting lives of innocent persons at high risk when bullets fly.
Reality of life versus the reports of “Low Crime Rate”.
We do live in a dangerous age. Lord Please Help Us.
I bet nobody saw a thing. It won’t stop until people start saying who dunnit!!
one group of hoodlums shooting at another group. why spend taxpayer money trying to catch them, just let it continue until there are only a few left, then arrest the remaining bunch
