Those kids should be in jail for the rest of their lives. What they did was horrible.

According to the article this is in West Palm Beach? Gangs in the area? This is as bad as a battle front. Are the locals and authorities taking back the area? Should they bring the Guardian Angels to patrol the area.? Your views....

This story is sickening...i was reading these posts and i checked youtube because the news in Palm Beach had a story about the bashing of Dunbar Village being on youtube, but i ran across this video ...and you know what ..as a white person i am sometimes ashamed of my own race for allowing blacks to go through this stuff without 50 cops being in that town searching for these guys.....this video is right on because since these were black women it seems no one cared at the beggining until videos like this came out

as a white person, i am not ashamed for anything that i personally do. we are only in charge of our own lives, not someone else's. blaming white people for the perpetrators is beyond comprehension. here is hoping thatall the perpetrators spend the rest of their lives in prison!

I wasnt refering to us ...i was refering to the media and how white people are put in a different category...any town with that many white women raped in that short of a time would have been a media field day....that is the truth!!!

So how is that the fault of the "white people"? It's the media, not the Caucasian race in general.


And that is not true, because in Tennessee a few months ago six black kids killed two white girls and I only heard about it on the news once.

If you're going to blame the media; blame the media!
What is the media composed of?
Liberals.
And what do liberals vote for and have in their ranks?
Liberal judges that punish people for self defense and do not punish
criminals.
We need judges and people that will care about the victims.
The criminals have too many rights-hardly any punishment and people
crying for the rights of criminals.
I read a statistic years ago that the majority of the crimes are commited
by repeat offenders; I doubt that has changed over the years.
I vote to put in conservative judges at the expense of my comfort level.
What's your commitment to punish crime?

St. Pete does not have a major gang problem, knock on wood. Drug dealers, yes, but the largest gang is actually Asian- Asian Pride- made up of Laotian, Cambodian, and Vietnamese kids. THere was a spate of shootings about five years ago, but the cops busted them up. The leader was recently sent to prison.

Brandon and Tampa are different stories.

Hello, I hope someone here can help. I'm trying to locate a young man who may still be in your area. His name is Colin Nash. His grandmother cannot find him. Colin lived in PSL... with his parents.... When they moved he stayed.... He was born in 1986.. I'm not sure where to start... He may have gotten in trouble or... maybe not. I sure hope not.... if anyone knows him or has access to any city records, please email me. Thanks maheddlesten@yahoo.com

I think the article in the Palm Bch Post speaks volume in this matter. The number of Haitians moving into that area will, unfortunately, imo, change things. PSL is not a place I'd consider moving to. In fact, because of this reason, I have decided to not pursue a move to the Vero Bch area, b/c I wonder how long it will take to go down hill too.
