The crime rate will only get worse until Law Enforcement is allowed to take the gloves off and do their job! Plus, the State Attorney’s office need to prosecute crime to the fullest and quit the sweet plea deals, putting criminals back in the streets.

Until the “powers to be” are compelled to fight crime, nothing is going to get better.
Until fathers are forced to provide support for their children, many more youth are going to grow up on the streets living a life of crime.
Until working for a living provides a better life than Welfare, more children will be born into fatherless homes leaving the streets to raise another generation of criminals.
Until criminal convictions come with a enough penalty to deter recidivism, criminals will continue with their life of crime.
Look at the recent horrific crimes: shootings at Time Saver convenience store. All the laws on the books didn’t deter a Convicted Felon from getting a AR pistol and shooting a person. The only thing that convict knows is prison and being held at gunpoint by a cop. All the vocational training in the world will not save a dis-functional person like him.
And how about the two Las Vegas youth that filmed themselves running over a man on a bike then posted the film on social media? They were 18 and 16 years old. No remorse when they boasted they would be back on the streets in 48 hours.
But what do the “powers to be” do…,throw money at the problem, tell the criminals it isn’t their fault and use words like systemic racism to shift the blame away from the very group responsible.
Democrats will never take a tough stance on criminals. Today, a small Havana convenience store was damage with a “smash and grab” robbery. If they catch the criminal, he will be released within 48 hours and a couple years from now he’ll get probation. This is our future.

TR – I see some readers are grumbling against the sports segments. I would like to see a “This day in history” segment. That’s my unsolicited opinion.

On another note, I don’t want a city lockdown. I want a violent criminal lockdown. I want Tallahassee to be a city where law abiding citizens have complete freedom of movement and the violent criminals are restricted.

The hell with this Blueprint feeding trough. We gave FSU $25 million last year and 2 weeks ago FSU said they were about to invest $125 million in more stadium renovations and upgrades.

ENOUGH!

What about a city lock down due to crime? I am from Minneapolis and the City does that when violence gets too high. Solves the problem fast.

@Snidely — “soccer”? You misspelled “basketball”! 😉

@David — The “days off” are something of a red herring. Schools have the same number of “teaching” days, they just shorten the summer vacation period to extend the school year. On one hand, I agree that taking a day off 3 weeks after school started is asinine. But it doesn’t really impact the number of school hours that the kids will have. We need a better understanding of why the kids aren’t performing at grade level and address that!

@ NE Moderate = I have been thinking for several Years now that, maybe we should have an Elected Police Chief like we have an Elected Sheriff.

” due to the nature of this incident, TPD’s Tactical Apprehension and Control Team (TAC) has responded to the scene” …………… Why not Train all Officers to handle all situations and have 6 to 8 specially Trained Officers for SWAT.

Education is one of the things that really, really matter to Floridians. with the Kids unable to Read at Grade Level, do Math at Grade Level and many other things at Grade Level, WHY did Leon County close the Schools today, Just because it’s the First Day of FALL? REALLY? You need to stop with the Special Days off and the Half Days until the Grades get UP to where they need to be. I am also starting to believe in ending all Sports and other School Contests until the Grades are up as well.

Crime under Reese Goad and Lawrence Revell is out of control. Other cities change police chiefs over things like this
