Columbus needs to get ahold of the crime, there are simply too many projects coming online in the coming months to jeopardize Columbus's growth. That said, revitalizing the impoverished areas of columbus and spreading out the projects and hud homes will help - I hope.

I blame John Darr. This is what happens when you don't have control over your staff.

its a catch 22 - there will never be "enough" police to police the populous. As a society we need to work towards getting rid of poverty by education and job opportunities. Unfortunately, in my opinion and not wanting to go too deep on this, its almost too profitable to be unemployed these days vs. the chore of A) finding gainful employment and B) actually working said occupation.

All the stories about abused children. Sad. Also seems to be a big drug problem.

Stacey Jackson: Witnesses say CSU police shot unarmed man (Columbus, GA) - Democratic Underground The man killed at CSU was unarmed I didn't even know CSU officers were allowed to even carry guns but regardless it sounds like just another case of a law enforcement officer in Columbus jumping to conclusions and being too trigger happy.

But why did he run? He was obviously doing something illegal. More to the story IMO.
