It’s all related to family structure. If the family doesn’t care, and doesn’t supervise their children, then criminals will for them. It doesn’t have anything to do with race at all. Poor people are poor people, and if you think that only black people are poor then go down highway 20 or Woodville highway or crawfordville highway or miccosukee or well the list goes on. The main difference here is gang mentality. I can say with absolute certainty that if a gang was targeting my child, I would absolutely end that s*** immediately. But, that’s not what’s happening in the black community because their parents aren’t married have never been married and it’s usually the mama working full-time to support her children who don’t see it coming. Black children are taught by the streets that they have no chance and this is the only way. It’s supported by rap stars preaching get rich or die trying type of artist. Ice tea started this s***, andn many rappers have got rich while everyone else died trying. Morgan Freeman said it best, it’s culture not race and he’s 100% right. The funny thing is, and I don’t mean it’s funny, if people would just finish high School and get a four-year degree and some sort of financial, science, well holy s*** any four-year degree they would make more money than they would drug dealing and g****b***** guaranteed. But kids want immediate satisfaction, and that’s where the parents come in, family structure is everything. I would like to say that it’s not like our police department is free to do whatever they need to do to fix it. They are greatly restrained by the people claiming foul and are unable to stop the big dogs from correcting the youth. The more you cry, the more we fall. I think people need to choose one or the other, all black people are targeted and they are all innocent or the murderers, drug dealers, rapist, g****b***** and the rest are not innocent and the police are only trying to do their job. So, which is it? The same goes for rednecks, white people, meth dealers. You Don’t see white people claiming meth dealers are innocent and discriminated against. Hell, ask white grandma and she will tell you and her grandson is a f****** and deserves what he gets. I’m white by the way, and my parents disowned me the first f****** time I f***** up. Hell, when I went to court they didn’t even pay for a lawyer and they had a ton of money. Kids screw up, the community is going to s***, everyone knows that no one’s doing anything about it and the only way someone will be able to do something about it is when we stop pampering everyone.

I really like the ideas posted by “Commonsense” on Dec. 6. It’s clear that poverty and lack of education are contributing factors to crime rates. Requiring some educational achievement for early release sounds like a win-win to me. I’m sure I’m not the only one who would volunteer to got into the jails and teach GED classes.

“Black males represented 67 percent of offenders which is almost five (5) times more than white males.” ………………….. WHEN will the self proclaimed Black Community Leaders admit that THEY have been WRONG? Wrong that LEO’s are NOT the Problem for all the Blacks in Jail & Prison, that it is the Blacks that is the Problem?

This is what happens when gangs become the family.

There’s nothing in this report that most of us (including LEO’s) didnt already know, but the fact that 85% of those guilty of homicide were suspended from school and started committing crimes as a juvenile was higher than I would’ve thought. So maybe this report will give the sherriff and TPD enough “cover” to actually address the problem without the worries of the dems cries of racial profiling….after all, when you harvest a crop, you go to the fields where they grow.

“Victims and offenders are overwhelmingly young Black males. Eighty-one (81) of 108 total victims were Black which is over 4 times greater than the number of white victims (25).”

81 is not more than 4 times 25. I understand the point you’re trying to make, but it’s more effective when the math is correct.

The study indicates a significant number of offenders were High School dropouts. Obvious they don’t care to become educated and possibly learn how to live in a civilized society.

It might be helpful that during their jail time they would be required to successfully complete their High School education and graduate before being released. The harder they work on their studies the sooner they could be released.

If they continue to reoffend, they would now stay in lock-up until they complete and obtain a useful college degree or mastered a marketable trade or skill.

The offenders benefit; society benefits; and, the taxpayers who pay to keep these people locked-up would be getting something for their money.

Just something to think about.

~ The report states that “we must approach this problem by first fully identifying and understanding how violence is impacting Leon County, and then agreeing on how we will remedy the issue together as a community.”

I sure hope there wasn’t a whole lot of taxpayer money spent on this “analysis”, because that’s about the most lame “recommendation” premise I’ve read… and I’ve read a lot.

Buy me a Blue Moon and a dozen medium wings, and I’ll not only tell you how crime and violence “impacts” Leon… but also how to “remedy” the problem at minimum taxpayer expense.

Yes Dennis, you and others of your ilk, continue to blame the white man for all of the transgressions of the black man. Economics has little to do with the problem. I was raised the poorest of the poor in Tallahassee and yet I was able, with the help of God, to rise above all that to have a great family and career.

Black preachers are a big part of the problem here. They preach white hatred. They have classes on how to get on welfare and stay on welfare because, “you are deserving because of slavery.” They need to preach abstain from all sin. Live a life pleasing to God. Love thy neighbor. Do no lie, cheat, steal or commit murder.

But no. These preachers would rather walk arm in arm with Democratic wives to register people to vote. Lets keep those loving Democrats in office so that they can continue to kill thousands of black babies to appease Planned Parenthood.

To solve a problem you must first identify the problem. What a crying shame to see so many of our young black men shot down in the prime of their youth. Some might have become attorneys, financiers, governors, preachers, firemen, police officers, doctors or just plain good old American citizens.

Why does your “Recommendations” sound like forming yet ANOTHER “Round Table Committee” to sit around and talk about it? Something needs to happen now, not several Months from now, put MORE patrols in the High Crime areas now, you know where they are, then talk with your Deputies and see what they suggest, they know the areas that need more Patrols better than anyone, THEY should be your first “Go To” resources.
