Comment from todays PNJ

Michael Holland · Follow · Top Commenter · Pensacola, Florida
Todays news journal is a prime example of what is wrong with Pensacola. A few days back a tragic and inexcusable accident happened at the county animal pound. There is an excellent story in todays paper about our interum county administrator George Touart going down to the pound and having a very heated meeting with the management. He demanded answers and accountability. As a result jobs were lost and changes have been made. Now I think about some other things that have happened in and around Pensacola the last couple of weeks. There have been several shootings, a few murders, an innocent victim shot and wounded by law enforcement officers and an innocent couple was raided by law enforcement and then traumatized by the wounding and killing of their pets right in front of them in their own house. I must have missed the meetings that the Mayor, County administrator, city board members and county commissioners had with our city chief of police and our county sheriff demanding answers and holding people accountable for why these crimes seem to be happening on the increase as of late. These officials talk about bringing businesses and people to Pensacola. I am sure that one of the top things these businesses and people look at is the safety of their employees and their families. I guess our elected leaders have their heads stuck in our beautiful white beach sands because Pensacola is not a very safe place right now.

The comments reference only the crimes that have been reported by the PNJ.  What about all the crime that is never reported?  In my neighborhood, several cars were burglarized.  Among the items stolen was a police officer's SWAT rifle.  According to the deputy who reviewed our security camera footage, that was the second SWAT rifle stolen from a patrol car in 3 days.  That frightening bit of news was never reported.

Last week my mother's home was burglarized.  She was in the house when 2 men kicked the door in.  The ECSO dispatch log and crime map indicate 3 burglaries on her street that day.  There were also 2 unsuccessful attempts that we know of.  

The PNJ reflects the attitude of the city leaders.  If you don't see any crime, you can continue to pretend that Pensacola is a good place to raise a family or to retire.

I had a neighbor up the street that found out his boys had been burglarizing cars and he saw me in the yard and begged me not to shoot his boys if I caught them on my property he said he was trying to get them to stop. I promised I wouldn't shoot them. Guy was almost crying I felt bad for him.

Same thing in my area. Very little gets reported in the PNJ. Dont worry. We will soon have a football team and we will all be rich and safe. We are 1/2 way there with the Baseball team. Notice how much better things are now?

Hi Birdy, hope all is well with you.
