Sounds like a pack of feral dogs that somebody ought to put down quickly.
Sounds like he was being robbed of his cell phone. This is the parking lot in front of the new Top Ten Toys. Scary news indeed!
Yeah Sam, he was in his 50’s on his nightly walk. These thugs robed and killed him. It was not drug related at all. Its time we stand the fuck up and and start watching our neighborhoods and report strange activity to police. If they don’t anything we start standing our ground and retaliate. Im sick of this shit and scared.
I don’t often connent but I Just wanted to post to tell you, Sam how disgusting and stupid your post was.
Where does it say he was on his nightly walk?
The article says he was in his car.
Also, how would one know it was a cellphone robbery? Again, no mention here.
I am more worried about the guy that wants to retaliate than the three thugs in question
Greenwood has become seriously dangerous. What is up with that? Street robberies there all the time, now murder. Where are these criminals coming from and why do they pick Greenwood? And if people are more worried about someone popping off about retaliation than 3 people who murdered someone, count on the crime to continue.
Switch to another news website, and you’ll read all about the victim and why he was robbed. The story is all over the place.
Talking about the scumbags, not the victim folks.
