Wow, a murder every other day. Gainesville has arrived!
The mayor and city council should be very proud of what they accomplished Gainesville is getting just like all other Democratic control cities high crime, over ran with homeless, high tax’s law-enforcement, hands tied as in getting rid of the K-9 unit
Harvey , Arreola and Poe have to be good a something. They must have majored in “purposeful Chaos” and hating on law and order .
And those Republican run cities are just so crime free, give me a break.
We are catching up with ocala and marion county for sure
Two different shootings in two different NW Gainesville residential neighborhoods on the same night?
And Little Davey Arreola expects to be promoted to the State House? He, Lauren Poe, Hayes-Santos, and Saco should all be made to work as full-time corrections officers at the jail so they can be around the criminals they love so much.
As I stated in my previous comment for the other NW shooting, something will be done for NW residents. However, nothing will change for East GNV.
Wow! Are we trying to be awarded murder capital of Florida? The inmates are truly running the asylum.
Just like the recent apartment shootings, another property owner who’ll apparently rent to anyone. Only difference is that this one was apparently a short term house rental instead of a long term apartment rental. Apartments need to start background checks again and short term rentals are just destroying neighborhoods for several reasons.
I do background checks and credit checks on all of my renters! It’s not hard!
The men staying there were contractors hired to renovate the house, they were not renting. The victim is a friend of mine, it was one of his employees that ambushed and killed him in the middle of the night and we don’t know why yet. The victim was the owner of the company there to renovate
I’m sorry for the loss of your friend. 😔
The people your referring to were from Mississippi, they were there to remodel , there were not renters , the employee killed the boss
Anyway, I Started Blasting…
Remeber when Poe wanted to give $600 a month to convicted felons to “get back on their feet”? Pepridge Farm Remembers….
He didn’t just want to do that, he entered into a Memorandum of Understanding that funneled the money to Community Spring, with “national and local media opportunities” for Poe: https://alachuachronicle.com/guaranteed-income-plan-memorandum-promises-media-opportunities-for-poe/
Once again, why can we not hold our City and County leaders accountable when they cause harm to the people who elected them?
Nearly every other profession requires “liability insurance” for their actions.
poe was/is such a slime ball coward
How lovely, yes our once thriving family style neighborhoods have been taken over by (wigger?) thugs in our smart city too, folks. 🤡👹🍦🍦🍦🍦D

Anybody paying attention? Bass pro shops has some handy defensive arms for sale, if anyone is interested and doesn’t want to end up in the city morgue for lack of personal defense.
You should know from the watching the news that Democrats get away with murder while Republicans are being destroyed by the Democratic Party for things the Democratic Party is guilty of.
Go figure.
Try watching something other than Fox or Newsmax
Anyone know any of the circumstances to why it occurred. I haven’t heard anything
My friend was the victim he was contractor staying there with his crew to renovate the house. The murderer was one of his employees and we don’t know as of yet why he killed him.
I’m sorry that happened to your friend. 🙁
This ass needs the death penalty.
Same old, same old comments from the regular magpies here that are completely irrelevant to the event. No matter the problem, the city commission and Joe Biden caused it.
Yeah, right.
There is plenty of blame to go around…which includes the people like yourself who either put these stupid people in office or sit around and chirp and parrot what their liberal masters tell them.
All that you are you owe to your parents. Why don’t you send them a penny and square the account? FJB
This sounds like a “druggie” situation gone bad.
No, probably had to do with money , they were at a job
He better get his free unlimited phone calls at the jail – Alachua County Commission.
Now, if we can get more needles an feces on the street, Gainesville will be right up there with the lefty-run big cities.
Well, the obvious solution is to just make guns illegal in Gainesville. That should do it .
