^^^^"the black COMMUNITY knows who they are and protect them". Really? Did you really mean to write that or did you have something else in mind but it just came out wrong?

how about let's not make this racial. the thug was a thug, hopefully he gets the chair or life. the gangs are terrorizing everyone in the city of all backgrounds. time for innovation though. I still think if they just add more money to the TipLine pot that would help. Also gentle you saw the article right that most cameras were BROKEN because this city doesn't maintain crap.

Thank you for sharing this. I came to this forum looking for info. Scott Waldrup was in high school with my daughter, and was bigger than life. This one hurts. Praying for your city.

I don't get your difficulty in understanding, so I'll respond one time. Someone knew the 17 year old perp and his friends were out in a car (whose expensive car?) after midnight. They probably also knew they had guns. Somebody probably was in a position to know that they were up to no good. They looked the other way.

Wanna swap community for neighborhood? Whatever floats your boat.

I agree, SL. Nothing here suggests to me that the black community of Savannah is any less troubled by outbreaks of violence like this as is the white community. And the camera situation is intolerable.

Sounds a little different than your earlier assertion:

"The black community needs to help get rid of the gangs. They know who the dangerous people are, but they protect them."

As if there is some community-wide effort to protect the perps. Please. That is why PC was calling you out.
Choose your words carefully.

''You can't understand my difficulty in understanding". No, my friend it's easy to understand once you get by "the spirit of what is written from the letter". I have been down this road before with those post of your that have a racial overtone. I let it slide in deference to the TOS of this forum board. Suffice it to say my blood boils with your statements peppered with innuendos.

"Wanna swap"...did you mean your cookie cutter development over downtown? If I HAD to live in Pooler I literally would put a gun to my head. So don't go there as I find the subject BORING, similar to your community.

I find some of your responses offensive when it comes to racial matters. (So do 5 other posters that repped me today because of your remarks.) If you want to put your boxing gloves over this...go right ahead and let's see your true colors.

I'm downtown tonight for the first time since the incident. Everywhere I go, people are talking about it, sharing their grief, giving hugs and saying how much they love this town and each other.

This is the Savannah I know. This is the Savannah I love. When people ask what makes this place special, this is it.
