  • Gun violence summit? Non-Participant?
    Wrong attendees?

    Something’s not working.

    • Were representatives from the state’s attorney’s office at that gun violence summit? They are the problem! Convicted felons caught with a gun should get an automatic 5 years mandatory. Next time invite the SA office & all the judges from this jurisdiction to these gun violence summits.

  • So much for the gun violence summit. A lot of wasted money and time. More B on B crime.

      • But not like B on B crime running rampant in this county and across the country. Check the stats. Unfortuneky if you are a young black Male in todays world if you are going to be murdered you will have 90 percent chance it will be done by another black Male. It’s a disgusting fact that unfortunately is a reality.

      • What about it?? Throw your alachua county white on white murder. Statistics up here.

        I will wait.

      • Black culture of course, which you knew. We all do.
        They commit 72% of all crime and 52% of all murders in the USA yet they are only 13% of the population.

        • Lumping this shooter in with the upstanding Black families in our community solely due to the color of their skin is unfair. Black folks I know have stronger families and personal ethics than the middle class white liberals.

          • ‘bLAcK fOlKs’

            Quit your virtue-signaling and just refer to them as people, or African-Americans if you need to get specific about color/ ethnicity/ etc. Loser.

      • Of course we all know which “culture” he’s referring to. I tried to list the FBI crime stats for this “culture” and it was immediately censored. Must protect the guilty at all costs.

        • Because of the very high number of racist comments we get (readers don’t see most of them), any comment with specific words goes to moderation. That does not mean it is “censored.” If it is not racist (i.e., makes generalizations about a group of people based on immutable characteristics), it will be approved.

  • Where’s the outrage? Where’s the demonstrations? Why isn’t Gainesville being burned down? Someone call Sharpton to heal the community. Of course, unless someone can make money by a lawsuit. Just another day. A young life lost.
    Solution make all these areas Gated Communities. Sign in and out. If you don’t reside there not allowed to be there overnight. Sorry if not married no couples allowed to reside together.

  • Time to get a plate carrier backpack for the kids I guess, seems like every day we read about another murder in Gainesville. At what point is enough enough?

  • Section Eight shootings shouldn’t be counted in our crime statistics. Due to the cultures “snitches get stitches” policy it appears this culture doesn’t really want to solve their violent crime problems.
