    • Feel safe? Law enforcement can’t keep the panhandlers/litterbugs out of the intersection of Waldo road & 39th Ave on the way to the jail… prevent homelessness? the free housing should be at the jail.

    • ‘Fabulous’ grammar ….’someone lost they life’. Very disconcerting.

  • Maybe if the majority of our police weren’t tied up with GRACE Marketplace 24/7, there would be time to patrol.

  • More homicides, shootings, stabbings, and violent crime courtesy of Mayor Harvey Ward and the Gainesville City Commission.

  • Gangs or homeless? Gainesburg has never been this violent. Way to go, city commission!

  • Back in ‘The Day,’ arrest would have already been made. Now a days with what passes for LEO in Alachua county dont get in a hurry for any quick resolution.
    Aint like it used to be.
