Fairground Drive…that’s all you need to know.
The 2nd one atFairground just this week. Fairground is a hotspot for violent crime , it needs to be torn down . Section 8 housing is a community killer and should be outside city limits
No 11:29, they need to be contained in the city that attracted them.
The Giordano Crime Wave continues…two murders and a mass shooting in just three weeks time…plus a solid LEO Tim Robinson just jumped ship at the sheriffs office…….
11:51 – Tim is a very good guy but he had a fantastic opportunity and took it. I can’t fault him in the least. I live in OP and look forward to him being here, particularly after the last guy’s mess.
Exactly, we’re losing great people because the county is completely run by criminal, corrupt, incompetent people.
What every happened with that? Last I heard he got suspended but nothing after that.
That place has always been trouble if the owners can’t police it shut it down
There are no murders or crime in Salisbury just ask Jack Heath.
Chickens just coming home to roost. Years now spent teaching youth by aligning with groups like BLM that violence is okay. It’s acceptable. BLM teaches the way to solve conflicts is through violence. The way to manage anger is get violent. Divine Intervention won’t help. God turns His back on liars. Liars who demonize police and make up lies to try and excuse their own bad decisions in life. God is the answer but only if you are a real Christian. Get back to family values which are also Christian value.
