The mayor is going to have some protest/march due to the amount of shootings of black teens like that is helping.

Maybe holding some community meetings with parents and trying to have some people in the community who can help to get through to these parents to keep their kids off the streets at night and encourage them to study or even play a video game at home is more safe than what is going on over there.

How can these kids get a gun as they are too young to buy them so I wonder if they take their parents gun and why are 16 year olds hanging out all night.

This mayor also banned Trump from his city like that is helpful while a previous mayor not even banned a professor who later was deported after being convicted for crimes he committed. To me it sounds like a very weird way of getting attention by this mayor and it seems it is getting out of control over there so maybe time for a different leader for the city.

I'm trying to see the justification for outrage since Ferguson and I can't. Michael Brown robbed a store, assaulted the owner, defy a cop and then tried to steal his gun after assaulting him, and some question whether the cop had justification to shoot him? Chicago was overkill, no doubt, but the victim wasn't innocent. Baltimore was an unfortunate accident, and again the victim was not innocent. Black or White these people put themselves in these positions against armed enforcement and wonder why the enforcers do their jobs, which entails protecting themselves as well.

Most people will side with innocence if that's the case. I'm finding it difficult to discover random acts of Police brutality, though I can see excessive force or perhaps mental instability in the Chicago case.
The media may be giving them exposure, but the majority of the public is not buying it.

South St Petersburg as well as Gulfport are not safe places, and the residents of Pinellas County know this.


I take it Gulfport still has issues.. so many want to move there but I checked it out and honestly its not so impressive over there or the south side in general. But surprisingly an amount of whites find it highly desirable. I don't see the draw in it. I am in N St Pete and if I go anywhere, its probably going to be north up to Palm Harbor area. Ya they can try to sell Gulfport though, I am not crazy about it or the south side anywhere. Pasadena is good but that's about it or the areas on the main beach. I think Gulfport though is seriously for those who like to think they're getting true beach living for an affordable price but look what its near. That's the thing.. you get what you pay for.

You can't be that close to social unrest and not be affected by it.

For those of you who didnt live here then, or werent born yet, This sort of black violence is why St. Pete became a ghost down and every single white person moved out of south st. pete and most of central and downtown back in the late 60's through late 90's...

They dont want to change, the area is overdue for another racial riot, they just have nicer stuff to burn this time around...

GLURGE: Letter from a Death Row Inmate : snopes.com

Maybe this letter from this death row inmate will help parents of some kids to see that being a parent is something else than allowing everything.

I'm not blaming all parents so don't get me wrong but nowadays too many parents or at least one parent is not available and not interested in anything their kids are doing and their kids hang out with thugs in the middle of the night. It only takes a little thing for the bad thing to happen as these areas are already know for violence.

If you are a parent of a child and have no clue where you kid is while being a minor than to something is wrong if that is something tat happens on a regular base.

Being a parent is more than just giving them a bed and a soda.
