Nothing irritates me more than to see people stealing from those who work. If you want money, get a job. If you want new clothes, get a job. Quite frankly, if you need another hit of smack, get a job. Period. Just get a job. Stealing from the hard working people of this country is pathetic. We are the ones that ensure you have a hosptial to go to when youre ready to quit the meth habit, were the ones that support your welfare programs.
No fear, when China takes over this country, Im certain this nonsense of stealing from the hand that feeds you will stop or the thief will die.

Not necessarily a bad policy.

Quiet weekend by Chief Stephens standards...what gang problem? Charlotte Observer say we are trying to find as good for his replacement. I wonder what Arpio is doing these days...

This should not surprise anyone! Charlotte is one of the WORST cities in this country for per capita crime of all sorts. Why? A bunch of Liberal judges, a DA's office that is one step short of being totally incompetent with all its plea bargaining, and an arrogant populace that thinks this place is heaven when, in reality, it is one of the least safe cities in this country. When arrested, these thugs need to be sent to STATE PRISON!!! or if possible, shot on sight when they enter a home, a business, etc if the victim has arms.

I want you to know that it's just the start or our summer season of crime.
It's only going to get worse.

As the national economic situation slides and money gets tight and costs rise the underworld of Charlotte will do the same as everyone in a business does, charge more.

This will in turn drive the buyers (customers of drug dealers) to seek more money to support their habit.

I would think that some will supplement their income with, theft, robbery, home and car break ins and the all time favorite pass time of the busy homeless
(substance abusers), stealing everything metal in eye shot to get cash.

The dealers themselves will seek new sales territory to increase their profits. This expansion could result in blood and lives.

There is always a segment that will take from others to support their family’s well being. My thought is that they are a very small portion of the over all crime problem.

The list doesn’t reflect all the other crimes like thefts, home and car break in's and the domestic violence calls which are often connected to substance abuse.

Get ready folks I hope I am wrong about this but I think we are (a)ll in store for a very bumpy ride.

Stay safe.

Good God Almighty Girl, What's this town comming to ? Has everyone lost their minds ? I don't want to point this out , but there weren't many whites doing these crimes. Does that not ring a bell in anyone's head. I guess the whites are too stupid or scared to commit crimes . I love working so that the welfare folks can steal my property. I believe I'll ride the LYNX and forget all my troubles. Isn't that what a good liberal is supposed to do ?

We can:

1)Buy a handgun;

2)Get professionally trained to use the handgun; and

3)Take responsibility for your own safety.

4) Or....none of the above. Just dial 911, wait 10 minutes, and let Chief Stephens handle this.

I prefer packin' my .45ACP. I dont dial 911. Heck I even bought my wife a pistol. WATCH OUT THUGS!!! HERE I COME!

Lynx, is it safe?...Is there a way to keep gang members, people with guns off of public transportation? I didn't see any officers or ways to prevent crime on the light rail...sitting ducks!

I was thinking the same thing 6:01 PM (4/15) - seems to be a common denominator!!!

4:53 PM (4/17) - I have taken the Lynx a couple of times to meet my husband for an event in uptown after he gets off work. I feel very safe on the Lynx. I usually sit near the front behind the driver in the first car.

I have heard about the break-ins of cars in the terminals. Just use common sense and never leave anything in sight that may interest a criminal and like anytime and anywhere else always be aware of your surroundings and always be on guard.
