I live in this neighborhood and pay taxes… never received any free thrash pick up or anything else. THAT’S BECAUSE I MAINTAIN MY OWN YARD. These run the streets all night sleep all day druggies don’t work or clean up their yards so they receive tax payers dollars to pay their bills, clothe and feed their kids and NOW clean their yards too!

It’s sad and pathetic! Continue to reward these people for being thrash and they will just teach their kids the same values and it will continue to occur.

I have lived here almost my whole life, raised with right values and didn’t go to drugs for a living or a hobby. It’s not the neighborhood, it’s the people and their lack of values these days. I can walk outside and point to every house in this neighborhood and tell you what they’re selling, snorting, smoking and cooking. I have seen here recently people drive by and jump out and beat people down. I have witnessed people walking down the roads with guns over drug issues. I have had people screaming in the middle of the night at the top of their lungs over money/drug issues. Shortly after all these events the cops ride thru and NOTHING happens. I have made the chain of command complaints and it seems to “die” down for a few days. It’s NOT fixed and it never will be because the people that are the continuos issues never have to pay for the laws they break, the drugs they sling or the obstruction they cause.

WELCOME TO THE TRUTH! IT’S NEVER GOING TO CHANGE, until a poor innocent child out playing in that park pictured above is shot and killed because some loosers drug deal went bad. So all of my fellows neighbors dealing your drugs and cooking your meth, I hope my home doesn’t get shot up or blown up by your lab when karma catches you.

I have to admit I took a look at the pictures and just noticed that I have
talked to this cop at some time and was actually impressed with him.
I do hope I wasn’t wrong and he is doing the right thing for this neighborhood.

Why is it that so many ppl don’t know real values anymore?

I love the part about the fact that they weren’t arresting anybody they
were just making them move on.

SO if they WERE cleaning out this neighborhood, which there seems
to be some disagreement about, then they just RAN IT OVER TO SOMEBODY
ELSE’S NEIGHBORHOOD!

i DON’T KNOW….. IS IT JUST ME…. or does this sound like a waste of
tax payers money?

I live just a couple of blocks from this area and know a few people who do live in the village and never knew there was a problem there. My children have walked to that park a number of times (daytime) and never had a problem. Glad to know now though. I see children playing down that road everytime I pass it and would have never thought a problem existed. Hopefully with this article being published it may let those “thugs” realize that these people want their safe community back and are not going to tolerate the nonsense anymore.

Are you serious? Nothing about the neighborhood has changed. The same people that are the problem are still running the show but they’re just making friends with the deputies so they aren’t caught. Ask any honest Deputy the problem houses and this interview might of gone a little differently with a different persons perspective. The drug houses are still the drug houses, the thugs are still running loose all hours of the day/night and the people that really do try hard to earn an honest living and work hard to provide for their families but are still held hostage in their own neighborhood by drug slinging-gun carrying-meth head slummin-non working-pathetic human beings that NOTHING will happen to because by time the cops do show up they’re hiding out inside their homes. Well that son is the truth. AMEN!

Its great we have law enforcement in this area. I do wonder why I have to pay to have garbage pick up . I clean my yard I cut the grass in the ditch that is owned by Escambia county I am making payments on a lawn mower Why should these people get their junk removed for free I payed 500.00 when I rented a contained to put old shed in I tore down ‘I work I pay taxes as well as my wife. . Why is this free for these people.

The neighbor hood is still in control of the drug dealers and the thugs who still run the streets at all hours of the day and knight. The increased patrolling of police has helped . There are still car,trucks,vans and Rvs in the neighborhood that don’t run and are still here.because they are in a yard are behind a fence nothing seems to happen. The park is a good thing with a steel pipe fence for a safe place for the children to play as long as the people who drink beer or sell drugs stay out it and away from it.
