Don’t look at how many times he’s been arrested, look at how many times the s/o has been out to the home and nothing was done, particularly an arrest. It may have stopped this.

To be premeditated, he certainly does not appear to have put much thought into this senseless killing. If you hate someone that bad, take a deep breath, count to three and be the first one to Smith Barney when they open.

To the ones that say look how many times the sheriff’s office has been called out to the house. This is the only time this man has been arrested in Escambia County, I did look. Noone knows what happened. Why don’t we all wait the the full story? Sheriff Morgan could have stopped this only one way, if he were at this house when it happened!

I’m sorry if I offended any of you, But he was the one that said we had a murder a day and nothing was being done about it. As far as lowing crime, you better study your stats more. We have the highest murder rate in the state. When you get done with that, please look at his Homicide clearance rate too. It’s pathetic. Lastly, do you a public information request and look at how many times the S/O has been out to their house. Maybe then you’ll see why you’re only as good as your leader. The man hasn’t a clue what he is doing. Please open your eyes? If you don’t. all that crime you see going on in town will soon be up here. He only has two officers per shift up here. I hope they both don’t want to go to lunch at the same time.

I would just like to start off by saying that I personally know the father to this unnamed woman.

The only blame in this case goes to James Scott Thompson.

There is a whold lot more involved with this case that the news can’t or won’t tell you about. But I can assure you that the police is not to blame for any of it.

Please respect the family and just uphold them in your prayers.

I guess they forgot when they swore Mr Morgan in to give him his magical crystal ball to look into. He must not have known that the job of Sheriff was to have come with the ball and that he was to look into it at all times to prevent these kinds of actions. So, Mr or Ms or MRS citizen whoever or whichever made the statement about it being his fault I think you better give the man his ball back so he will know next time. What I have just said is as silly as what you said get a life and get real.
People never cease to amaze me.

Sheriff David Morgan has done more to lower crime in Escambia County than any of the other good ol’ boys we used to have. He has a very heavy schedule that includes speaking to groups regarding neighborhood watch, how to lower crime, all while keeping up with all his other duties as sheriff. His deputies work hard to solve crimes and keep us safe…and you want to blame someone’s shooting someone else on him?
