Wow, are we really seeing our fellow humans in such a disgusted light? It’s the homeless that are causing our crime? Most of these people have unGodly trama from way before they were born. Not to mention, all of the huge mental health issues. Also, it’s only been in the late 1980’s that we “shut down” our “Mentally and Developmentally Disabled” State Institutions… Tallahassee is a beautiful city,,, let’s have compassion and keep it Beautiful on the “inside” as well. You know what they say– God don’t like ugly and he don’t give a dang about pretty! So be nice people?

Did Wally discuss the fact that he has turned the department into a total fiasco? He and his incompetent minions. How many were fired and sued while they worked for him with the state?
He has 20 command staff, including 3 assistant sheriffs.
The deputies are unionizing because Wally is a moron, who has lied, to them about everything especially getting pay raises and promotions.
Arrests are down because he has turned all law enforcement to TPD and FHP, while completely destroying a proud department history that responded to citizens.
Did Scott ask him any of this or just shine his shoes, like he usually does.

POC, And we did escape, not a minute too soon, thank God. The only way to get away from all of that is research where you will run too, and how the city and county are operated.
I thank God every morning I wake up to this beautiful quiet, law enforcement loving, kind, safe area we live in now for our retirement.
We have none of these issues, small town living is the best. Whoever tells you Tallahassee is that small town needs to travel more.

Incoming truth bomb. Reader beware! The Capital District is roughly 30% of my folk, most still living on their former slave owner’s mental plantation, run by the Demonrat party. The remaining 70% are mainly white folk who are also mostly registered Demonrats. Most folks in the Capital District are Gov. workers of some kind or another whether it be Federal, State, Local or Uni. or worse yet, students. And most students are leftist lunatics. The deck is stacked, the Capital District’s future is sealed given recent events. The Capital District will rapidly become like any other Demonrat city all over. A homeless dumping ground full of feces and a failure to be honest and do anything about it while still suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome even though he’s gone. Escape the Capital District to a more sane district if you can.

Too much emphasis on his enlargement of command staff and not patrol or investigative units. Not enough emphasis on enforcing the law.

Homelessness persist in Leon county because there are too few social services as well associal workers who are more concerned with where they’re going to eat lunch at rather than getting up in people’s faces and lives rather than finding out is their real problem is, because a lot of people would rather sleep outdoors and use whatever monies they get to buy drugs than to go somewhere and pay rent.

The homeless population has increased because surrounding counties are dumping them here. We have the kearney center (which does a remarkable job) but it can’t currently house any of them due to Covid. I wish people put more of their resources into this issue instead of political ads………

If only the citizens could one day just wake up and begin electing more Democrats these annoying problems will finally be addressed.
Wait thats what our beloved citizens have been doing.
So what then would be the logical solution to the never ending problems plaguing our communitty?
Gee Wally I cant think of anything the citizens could do to address the never ending problems vexing our communitty. Guess we will live with these problems forever.

What little I know about homelessness is that the causes are diverse: mental health/drug/alcohol abuse, domestic abuse, dropping out from society or life without direction or purpose. Therefore the treatments for the problem must be many faceted. Most of the causes start with the family. It will take many agencies working together long term to address the problems.
