The weather is warming up! Anyone remember an incident last year where 5 or more people were killed in one incident? If so, what was the total number? Any new predictions on end-of-the-year tally's now? I think that puts us up into the low 20's now?

I just heard about that now. I have to admit that thats really bad. West 89th St. suspect Davon Crawford still at large - Metro - cleveland.com . 5 dead on the Westside (W89th). RIP to all of them.

Thats now at least 26 homicides to date for Cleveland, pretty bad.

Ive heard about this too. I believe its called "May Day" (May 1st) where at a lot of schools in Cleveland whites get beat up. Its no surprise that a lot of them take that day off.

Interesting, this "super 8 may melt down day" will do what kind of greater grace to them? If I have a gun, I will make sure I carry it around with me at that day. I have seen so many ridiculous video clip featuring a mob randomly beat-up people on the street. Then they were jumping around and celebrated that they had successfully thrown a great number of sucker punch at unaware people in one night. Unfortunately, I don't have a gun. So I will go to work, then go to gym, then go home. No other entertainment at that day.

Before this, I always think that fight should break out between one man to another man, or equal number of rivals. Maybe certain race have different dictionary to define some old school dogma.

BTW, if I recalled it correctly, yesterday's one homicide for 5 happened in a resident address where the killer's ex-wife and her 3 kids, plus the killer's current wife were there. How come this combination can present under the same roof? Another strange observation to me.

Correct me if I am wrong

Red face Have Fun At School Today

That May Day incident was about a twelve year old White girl, who got beat up by about a dozen kids, on the West Side. The Police had been tipped off, so it didn't go too far. Still, apparently she took a pretty good licking. In any case, my impression was, attending a school like South High, for example, can be really scary. Particularly, for White kids. So, if a lot of them don't want to go, I wouldn't be surprised and quite frankly, wouldn't blame them. Personally, I think the high school diploma requirement, for a lot of jobs, is just stupid. But, I wouldn't be surprised, if The Teacher's Union left a bag of books burning on my front lawn for that one!

Yesterday's quintuple homicide is disgusting and sad, but the reality is that it's not a Cleveland issue, but instead a domestic issue. That type of violence can happen anywhere and does happen everywhere. It may inflate Cleveland's crime stats, but it's not something that should worry anyone.

Angry Catch And Release

This bozo who plugged five people on The West Side, should have been executed a long time ago. This dip-wad had already waxed somebody, but he got off with some sort of manslaughter crap. Look, if dumb-dumb killed the guy in self-defense, let him go. However, if he murdered the guy, then fry his ass. Then, he won't come along later and murder a whole bunch of other people

Something else, this worthless man had also, apparently, shot somebody, not long after he was out of prison for murdering the first guy! Somehow, this guy was still walking around!!!

YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE OUR CRIME PROBLEM COMES FROM????? HERE'S AT LEAST ONE BIG FAT CLUE!

I read about this in the local paper here in Portland. Very sad, especially the children. My wife and I have a two month old child as well and can't imagine what his life would be without us.

It was sort of odd reading about how dozens of people were standing across the street cheering when the body of the man was brought out after he had killed himself in the police standoff. That's kind of morbid but also understandable because I'm sure that people are really fed up with the violence.

The guy already had established himself as an abusive, murdering, rapist. Why wasn't he dead a decade ago? He had already committed rape, murder, and numerous instances of domestic violence. The rape charge alone should have been sufficient for his execution.

Perhaps a more important question, why was that woman involved with such a man? She put herself and her children in serious danger (as we can all see) by having such a crud in her life. Are we to believe she didn't know he was an abusive, murdering, rapist?

Why do you think rape should be a capital crime?
