so sorry this happened, very sad thing. i must admit i thought this was drug or gang related. this was an innocent working man on his way to his honest job. that makes this so much worse, & it stirs strong feelings in me unprintable here.
This is realy sad news. I want the violence to stop. I ache for the family and for this loss to the community.
Tonight’s tv local news told us that Mr. Freeman was walking to the Tin Cow restaurant on South Palafox St. where he worked and is highly thought of by his co-workers and friends.
This is really very sad to have one more life lost needlessly in Our County and Our City.
Prayers and thoughts for the Family, Loved Ones and Friends of Mr. Freeman.
You should have been safe to walk anywhere you wished.
Rest in Peace and God Bless
I feel bad for this man and his family. What has happened to us as a society? I agree with Mike with regard to the sidewalks. We have lost our self-respect as a community; as a neighborhood; as individuals. Once upon a time even the poor neighborhoods were well kept (I know because I lived there). It starts at the top. If our own county won’t mow and trim, then I guess we can’t expect some of our residents to do it either! Guess we’ll just continue to be the armpit of the state.
not safe to walk the streets down there. who is responsible for the right of way? looks like the sidewalk is getting grown over with weeds, needs to be dug out & the sidewalk edges brought back. i don’t care how poor a neighborhood it is, the right of way must be maintained, or some 4×4er might think its okay to go mud dogging in it.
