  • Great job at locating him and now he can go right back to where he needs to be…locked up.

  • I thought that the woods off of NE 53rd Ave was an internationally recognized Safe Space. Has the UN been informed about this violation of Safe Spaceness?

  • Keeton Correctional in the Panhandle?
    Why and how is it these criminal types find their way to Gainesville?

    Don’t bother answering that.

  • Didn’t the City buy 50 acres there for “conservation” homeless camping sites on their way to GRACE?

    • “I would walk 500 miles
      And I would walk 500 more
      Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles…” The Proclaimers

      How far did the last serial killer travel to get to Gainesville?
