I live in a nice area of town and I guess for whatever reason people never talk about all the evil that goes on. I think that unless you know this girl you should not judge her.I guess I am just as bad as people judging cause it makes me sick when I see how everyone supports war and helping other countries but cant stand to help anyone here. But also I see what kind of town this is when other murders have happened to certain people people want to help people but not this girl people just put her down this is so sad

“My God” “My God I can picture the hurt of the family love ones and firnd
My life was also shattered with the murder of my 19 year old daughter in Cleveland Ohio the pain and misery will never go away, the human race I don’t think so, How about human disgrace, savages and beast walking everyday among us with siver bullets waiting and seeking to a true and devoted human.
Justice must be served in this unlawful tragedy that comes from a savage and beast who carries no guilt for a crime so dreadful. Dealth to the heartless soul I rest my case

@ Scott Lassiter — Yes i believe you can call Monsters just exactly what they are. They are not human in the truest sense of the word. However, they want to demand respect when they know nothing about the dignity of a true human being. My daddy died in 1976 and i well remember calling a terrible criminal an “animal” — Daddy told me that even animals (with the exception of a few rouges) did not do the horrible things some of these monsters are doing. He told me it was an insult to the animal kingdom to call murderers and rapists, etc. animals. So, if they are not human beings and not animals it stands to reason that they are , therefore, MONSTERS. For the life of me i can not understand why anyone would have a baby in the environment that festers in Pensacola village and other similar places in country. still my heart goes out to the innocent little children that are forced to live there and in most cases will grow up to become just like the generation that produced them. All we have is hope for a better future but that is fading quickly as society continues in a downward spiral.

Nicely put David Green.

Life is about choices and some self initiative from day one.

America: Land of oppurtunity, not entitlement.

THANK YOU DHG.
I get so tired of people who think their problems are everyone else’s.
Like they don’t think we help every chance we get, but will not put
the security of OUR OWN at risk to help those who made bad choices.

This IS AMERICA and people swim here every day and achieve and
learn through adversity that others will never understand. They do
something that too many do not and won’t.

They get loans, they go to school, they WORK! There are many
grants to help the poor and needy and many resources.

NO CHILD should be raised in a drug infested, crime ridden
hell hole. If you didn’t see it coming the first time… fine, but
their is no excuse after that.

regarding:
“BEFORE YOU SIT UP IN YOUR COMFORTABLE HOMES WITH YOUR CUPBOARDS FULL OF GROCERYS AND PASS JUDGEMENT ON THESE POVERISHED PEOPLE WHY DONT YOU REACH OUT AND HELP A YOUNG MOTHER WITH KIDS WITH NO HOME NO HUSBAND ”

You act like certain people were born with comfortable homes and some people were born with drug addict boyfriends and children already in place.

If a home is comfortable, it’s because someone built it and maintained it that way. They worked to get it and worked to keep it and worked to keep it up.

If a person is hooking up with drug dealers and addicts or people who don’t care enough to care for the children they father or the children they got pregnant, it’s because they chose to do so. Not everybody does, so please be honest and don’t act like they didn’t have a choice.

If they don’t have a job, it’s quite often because they didn’t develop the skills to get and hold a job. If they don’t have an education, it’s usually because they decided to not cooperate with the educational system — “Cain’t nobody tell me what to do!” attitude.

If the neighbors didn’t report criminal activity, with names and places, they are helping it happen. If they don’t cooperate with law enforcement, they are making certain something like it happens again.

I don’t know this particular person. Don’t know why anyone would shoot a child three times. I DO know the people sitting in their “comfortable homes” didn’t shoot anybody in Pensacola Village, didn’t hold the mother back, didn’t make her a mother before she was ready in the first place, didn‘t pick a loser for her.

David for honesty
and personal responsibility

It’s odd that none of the news coverage says anything about who the father is. The mother is 21 and is 5 months PG with another baby.There well may be other siblings. Part of the problem with the “Village” is the warehousing of people. While there are some good people living there —for each of them there are many more “hood want a be’s”. There is a lot of fear in the Village, so when “shots are fired” everyone goes blind also. Some will talk with LEO on the QT by phone later, but it’s trust that has been built on a one on one basis and the callers name can never be used because of a fear of reprisal. The truly sad part is that there are multiple generations of families living there who can not get a job because they can not read or write and it will carry on to generation after generation.
