The owner of 1401 West Lunt Mini-Mart is going to arrive to his business this morning the same way he arrived yesterday morning. Very mad and very disappointed. Less than 24 hours after installing a new glass door because of a break-in, the owner will be doing inventory to find what these crooks stole last night after pushing through the newly installed, unbreakable glass.I'm not sure of the time of this break-in, but as I arrived at 6 am, two officers pulled up and called the break-in address over the the hand-held radio. After the exclusive "Broken Heart" photo both police officers knew who exactly I was. No ID was needed. One officer said, "There's the Morse Hell Hole", as the other officer confirmed, " there's Craig"! With that polite exchange, I answered back, Yes... "Good Morning officers," even though I knew it wasn't.
Update: I just talked to the owner to find out what was missing this time around. He told me nothing was stolen. The owner thinks this may be a racial issue. He told me he recently hired in his words "a white guy." In his words, "some black guys" came in to his store and asked him "why did you [ he] hire the white guy"? I can't say if race really was the issue.
I can say between this and the Wayne Jones murder, ALL people, young and old should watch there backs and their businesses until we can get a handle on the crime and safety situation in CAPS beat 2431.

i would have to agree with east of gomorrah. i don't happen to know the address of this halfway house that has you foaming at the mouth, but if i did, i would be very hesitant to post it here or any where else.
as a parent, i have concerns about having that type of rehabilitation center in rp and for all i know, it could be right up in my noh neighborhood. someone can correct me if i'm wrong, but i havn't read or heard of any specific crime being committed by these individuals. if that is true, perhaps whatever possible drug and counseling treatment they are administrating might just be working. i don't know this, it's just my assumption and i don't know enough about this center and it's practices to outright condemn them.
i believe as east does that people should be given a chance at rehabilitating themselves and i understand that evidence suggests this is difficult at best.
but the "give me the address and lets go....?." rally cry concerns me a lot.
So, a mugging is your example of a "violent episode", and you don't believe in rehabilitative services for those who commit violent crimes, even if they are mentally ill when they commit them...so, do muggers get life in prison, or do we just cut to the the chase and kill them all proactively?
(and before you presume, yes, I've been mugged and worse...)
The reason we have so much crime in this country, more than any other first world country, is because we persist in giving murderers, rapists, and child molesters a second chance Would you care to qualify that rather absurd statement? BTW - The last I heard the death penalty was illegal in every "first world" country except this one...but then I haven't read the newspaper yet today...has something changed?
I don't remember EofG stating he was leaving because of violent crime...is that why you are leaving East? Just wondering...
