I was born and raised in Pensacola. Attend BT Washington High School. I predicted in the early 80s that this would happen to this city, as a result of witnessing guys and girls in my class becoming teenage parents. There was no discipline enforced by these teenage parents. They displayed no discipline in their lives in reference to prioritizing education, teaching morals and value, and simply creating a plan for their own lives. The young people that are committing crimes in Pensacola are kids that were raised by parents that became parents in their teenage years and early 20s. The parents allow the kids to sagg their pants, put the dreads in their hair, the gold grill teeth, and the tattoos on their bodies. I blame the thugs that is committing the crimes in Pensacola, but I also blame the ignorant parents. I visited Pensacola this summer and it is a shame. AGAIN, I went to school with a lot of the parents. These are parents that live in their mother house and raising their son and daughters in the mother house. three generations of people living in one house. No discipline, no morals, no respect for others, no motivation to succeed, and most of NO GOD!!!!

As a society we have become more accepting toward bad behavior of young people. Slouching pants and obscenities would not have been tolerated by our parents or the rest of the community in the past. Many kids do not go to church, scouts, Boys Club, and the schools can not teach moral behavior. So, I’m wondering if our society really wants kids to behave.

I live in Montclair and I love it over here. Sure there’s been some problems but not everyone is bad. I also cut thru Mayfair to get to mobile highway. I never had no problems. There’s lot crime since katrina. I would not move from here for nothing. I still like it but I feel the police harrass people more than anyone. How can they pull you over for no reason and search cars that’d should be violation of our rights. Then they are rude on top off it. I feel some of the bad behavior with the police in these areas have brought some of the rising crime. If the law crooked so will the people. I did not know this young man but my thoughts and prayers to his family. I hope find closure.

It is not the police’s fualt. It is not the guy who got shot fualt. The person who pulled the gun and shot him was at fualt. Stop blaming and saying skin colar brought this on or rap music,ect… Yes there are guns around , if you own one you are supposed to be responsibale for your actions. The police can’t be everywhere and I don’t want pulled over everytime they look at my vehical and decide GUN IN THAT CAR. Or thatI just don’t look right.

No one can blame the sherriff because some one shot a gun…. however he and the county can be blamed for allowing these people to run amuck and not being PROACTIVE in gun and drug control…. obviously when something gets this bad it is because the stages leading up to it were not handled appropriatly. I agree with the previous comments about some random road blocks and checking cars. SOMEHOW our law enforcement has got to get this under control. Pensacola is just not safe anymore… Sad to say

Again, another senseless shooting and Again every one is pointing the finger, and Again everyone has a solution ,and Again it continues, and Again lives are lost ,its sad , it just sickens me … Blame it on the cops , Blame it on the upbringing ,Blame it on skin color ,Blame it on rap music,Blame it on morals, Blame it on not having God in your life, Blame it on whatever you want but the fact is that its getting worse and something diffidently needs to be done about it,no wonder I prefer to stay home and to myself ,people are NUTS.

I wish I was surprised, but I’m not. Even young kids around here can tell you where not to be after dark.
