It aggrivates me to no end that this kind of person is walking the streets. After numerous arrests and bond terminations, I'm wondering what exactly it takes for someone to actually throw the book at someone.

Go to this page ( http://arrestinquiryweb.co.mecklenburg.nc.us/ ) and enter the last name Gaston, first initial C and look at this guy. 20 years old and over 50 felony charges.

I'm glad I'm armed because of people like this. I'm glad I'm armed because it seems like the justice system is doing nothing to protect my family, friends, myself, or anyone else for that matter.

By the way, this is the same guy who allegedly shot the owner of Dilworth Billiards on December 5th, 2007 during an attempted robbery.

Maybe it's time we put some pressure on the local politicians to deal with people like this and get them off of our streets.

What, you've never heard of Charlotte's Hug-a-Thug program?

You can count me out of that mess. Mommy and daddy should have hugged them more.

If they did hug their little thug, do you think MY hugs would do any good?

I'm just glad he doesn't live very close to me. I already hear enough gunshots at night. Not even worth calling the police because it's all over with when they get out here.

There are many areas in Charlotte without gunshots. Is there a chance you can move to a new area?

Mecklenburg doesn't like to charge or lock-up felons.

Thank goodness the Sheriff to be has already announced he will take a look at the conditions in the jail and make sure the inmates are well cared for.

Pack them like sardines, standing room only as far as I am concerned.

That's because you'd have to increase taxes to build more jails. If you're not willing to pay for more jails then you have to live with the consequences.
