  1. Always the SAME MO! African-American, black clothes and pretty much in pairs. It seems to me that these crimes are getting far worse and are scattered over ALL of the city but these ghetto thugs don't seem to have a problem terrorizing there own neighborhoods and neighbors. Where the hell have their morals gone? How do these people sleep at night? What do their families think when they appear with new things or a lot of extra cash? What were these ghetto thugs taught by their parents? Where the hell is their conscience? What can be done about this growing epidemic? Do our stores close early? Do we stay in after dark? Do we give up our streets to the bangers & criminals? How do we protect ourselves? This is a huge blight on our city and so pathetic. What are the answers?

  4. I forgot about that police station. But I'm sure the robbers knew it was there. These days, most criminals are not afraid of the police. They usually carry better guns, and they know if they get caught, the judge will slap them on the wrist and let them go.

    I feel sorry for anyone who works with the public and around money.

  8. I'm sorry to hear that you guys feel CVS is not concerned with your safety. I also noticed the news didn't bother to report this story. But, there are a lot of things the media doesn't tell us.

  9. I'm like the ppl who commented before, I'm tired of hearing 'I'm sorry". Someone really needs to investigate the story behind the stories! Especially the Company!
