This is a developing story.
Anyone got the number of B on B fatalities in Gainesville/Alachua County for the past 3 years? Just shootings.
Just curious.
Forgot to mention, it’s needed for an upcoming research project.
Obama+Biden hid those stats.
Per the FBI: blacks commit 52% of ALL murders in the USA yet they are only 13% of the population. We have a problem that nobody is willing to address for fear of the “woke.” Meanwhile the murders continue.
In Florida, Black people are 6 times as likely to die by gun homicide as white people, compared to 10 times nationwide.
Two Gainesville Police Department officer positions could be frozen next fiscal year to free up funding for salaries for two employees to prevent violence in Black communities. https://www.phillytrib.com/news/across_america/gainesville-considers-black-on-black-violence-interrupters/article_b7087c79-a534-5924-afa0-0b53ee145808.html

interesting read
So sad
Every week someone being shot. When will.it end. Makes you scard to walk outside
But at least we have a Chief Environmental Officer in the city. Maybe she can investigate…..
That’s Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion officer to you, sir
As well as a diversity/equity & inclusion officer AND staff!
I never heard any update on the Tiger Bay shooting. But it nice to see that at felons, dopers, and gangstas want the big change in Gainesville. They are trying to turn this city into South Central LA. Why is Ward and the rest of the City Commission not out on the streets stopping this violence? I thought they were pushing th it s DEI, holding circle jerks to tell these felons they are loved, and there is no shame to their actions because they are misunderstood in normal society. I guess it’s just to scary for them.
theyb don’t want it to stop using it as a pawn to take your legal gun so they have control
They don’t want you to know the stats for that question.
They gonna be mad when they read this…

I read it and it is very interesting thank you for posting this more people need to be more aware
I have complicated feelings about this case. On one hand I want it to be a suicide and not more black violence in my hometown. On the other hand I’m not one to lie to myself. Peace to the family effected if it is in fact suicide.
It was definitely black on black
Unfortunely the suicide route probably has been ruled out by the victim suffering multiple gunshots but you never know
Any new news on this subject I live out this way heard the gunshots ask the police should I be alarmed? They tell me no, if it’s an ongoing investigation shouldn’t they have told me to be on the lookout and if they have information how come they didn’t share it with the rest of the community so we can feel a little safer if we’re going to be on the lookout we don’t even know what we’re looking for not even a description the streets talk but they’re being really silent right now and me being a resident I’m scared to even peep out of my blind
since we’re sharing random, unrelated statistics enjoy this one:
