    • Totally agree just think about the money we are saving in the long run by them not producing children they would not take care of

  • Holly Heights….
    What a place. There are some good hard working people that live there. Choices or circumstances lead them there. In 2018/19 a landlord put a lot of money into two or three buildings on the outskirts, but still in HH, and was working with the VA to house formerly homeless veterans.

    • @Silky SSVF had us housed there (family unit) for a few months and moved us right out of there (because of all the craziness going on) into where we are now. So, in April of 2020 SSVF was still housing out there.

    • If County had any sense strict security and if you don’t reside there out by 0800 pm. Must sign in with ID to stay overnight. Oh yeah Armed Security. Make these safe and secure for those in needs.

    • It is all about choices. Do parents teach love or hate? Right from wrong? Do you choose to be offended by cotton sprigs or murder (and other crimes.)? Do you choose hood life or education? Choices…

  • As one gangsta said to the other ” Our people need killing !” Thank you for participating move along just another day along SW 20th Ave with gangsta being themselves.

  • Good ol’ 75th Street. Paradise on one end, hell on the other, every walk of life in between.

    I worked night shifts 3 years in the area and walked out alive. I’ll never forget it.

  • Surprise surprise. Holly Hts is one of many lawyer-designed crime breeder open, unsecured ranches. The individual unit landlords are likely either drug dealers, human traffickers, ACLU SPLC member lawyers, or absentee on a beach somewhere. Follow the 🤑🤑👹🤡💩

    • It’s just another day in Gainesville, period. Alachua Chronicle might as well create a standing column: Today’s Shootings in Gainesville

  • It may be less dangerous for some to go fight in Ukraine than it is to walk or live in some Gainesville neighborhoods.

    Travel the world, learn a different culture, learn a skill and get paid. Isn’t that what many liberals are demanding?

  • What is wrong with all of you? What is wrong with this paper?! How is this vile speech acceptable to any of you? I really doubt you’d be make these above statements if that was your mother or son in the car. Hell is getting hotter, I hope some of you enjoy your extended stay.

    • I have my place in hell all ready for what in did for my country your content means nothing to me

    • I’m not worried. I am prepared. Are you? It hurts when the truth is spoken.. it stings even more when it’s the reality of what Gainesville has turned into.

  • Here’s a hint for this case from what I heard a rumor has it that he went to go meet somebody check his call log and follow up with the person that he was going to go meet this person has some type of involvement that he was going to go meet up and set him up that’s all I’m going to say and that’s the hint. it wasn’t a robbery it was a hit list
