    Thank you Escambia County for doing this. It’s been needed for a while. May all be safe and well. It’s a good was for tax dollars to be spent because you can’t put a price on a life. And kids nowadays are not thinking about the value of a human being. They are all brainwashed by their cell phones. Hopefully this will deter them from harming others.
