An anonymous call to Crime Stoppers would do the trick..and, maybe put a little cash in your pocket- just for doing the right thing for the community.
Ya’ll, I knew it was not right when I drove through there. The vibe was so off. There’s got to be some drugs or somethin going on right there!
I growed up on Sheppard St in cantonment. We never had this many problems on that street. And most of the older ones has since died or a lot of us moved away. I love my city but at this point I will never move back. This younger generation and some of the old ones don’t make it a nice place anymore. I pray for cantonment that it can go back the way it was. I pray for the young lady and pray she is well. Let’s take our community back. The others said it well. Talk and tell who these people are. You guys know cause you know the cars.
Prayers for the young lady that was shot. And for the young boys that was the target you know more than said. Please let LEO help.
On response to point out the guilty, I am in complete agreement. There are so many times the victims know exactly who the perpetrators are, but they are too fearful of further violence against themselves or their loved ones to identify the bad guys. It is a sad situation when people are reduced to living in fear.
Do the right thing, point out the guilty.
