To Resident since 1990, I understand and share your hopelessness. Those who could support change instead bury the messengers crying out for it while, simultaneously, they support wholeheartedly those doing everything possible to keep the crooked, entrenched status quo network.
Listen to that still, small voice and stay safe regardless of what you choose.
Did WTXL get paid for their blatant advertisement of one local business disguised as reporting on the aesthetics of North Monroe Street?
Do other competing businesses in the area get equal time?
Sadly, most of Tallahassee’s Crime, (Baltimore, Chicago, New York, Chicago, Memphis, St. Louis, Portland, New Orleans), is Black on Black.
Tallahassee, with a 40% African American population, has an extremely high black on black crime rate. Why is not the Black Community speaking out for a political change?
Local hate groups want to defund the police, but the first people called are police officers, who are both black and white officers, who try to protect most of us citizens (black and white), who want to live in peace and harmony with our neighbors, of many races.
Take the race issue out of the equation. Arrest and prosecute people who commit violent crimes…white and black…or Hispanic, Asian or whatever…
I moved to Tallahassee over 30 years ago and never intended to leave. Now, despite many unnecessary life disruptions. I just need to get away.
I simply no longer trust our local government officials to solve these issues, and the deck is stacked against electing politicians who want to make change happen.
After viewing this local political system for many years, I have simply lost hope of any meaningful change to make this city a desirable place to live for the rest of my life.

Why, in our community and communities across our Country, do so many black people find this type of criminal behavior acceptable? The news reports of store looting shows black people doing the vast majority of these types of crime.
Local politicians need to wake up and smell the coffee. But that would assume local politicians have any intentions of doing something.
