Rednecks? I think it is every over nationality! White rednecks are the minority these days…

mobile will never be anything but a breeding zone for rednecks anyways.

ASDA, i agree with you to.

Insurance? If you are lucky enough to be able to afford it, you will still not get enough money to cover the loss if you have a claim.

AMEN! ASDA ,I don’t like the police departments being collecting agents for the insurance industry! I know it’s required by law but it shows how much influence and pull they have in our state government. Did you watch our insurance commissioner on the news yesterday? We don’t have an insurance commissioner , just a rubber stamp man for the insurance companies. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see him get a insurance related job after he leaves office.

Here is an idea to fight high gas prices in Mobile. Let’s all get a horse and buggy.  The police can keep busy cleaning up the mess the horses will leave, since they are worthless at fighting the crime in this town.  As far as the checkpoints, they remind me of Nazi Germany.  “May I check your papers sir”? (German accent).
Also Mobile, get a clue. Before you make Brookley Field the jewel
we would all like to see, you have to do something with what surrounds Brookley. Wake up and think.

Well if the police department would quite wasting time on Roadblocks to check for insurance they might actually be able to patrol the streets and maybe deter crime.

Of course crime is on the rise,how can it be otherwise? During this dramatic down turn of the economy the career criminal and first time criminals will need more and more money to survive at their present level of living. These people aren’t going out and getting a job for more money,they are going to take it from who ever or what ever they can. I don’t think we’ve hit the bottom of this yet,It should get worse. The police departments are going to have more than they can handle,so the average citizen will have to take on more of their own protection until we see a major turn around in the economy. Money is short and you don’t get as much for the dollar,so you need more and that goes double for the criminals. As the man use to say on “HILL STREET BLUES”, BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!

Why would you even make the statement a question. You should be attentive to what is coming in your new’s dept.  Everyone know’s for a fact that crime is on the rise, simply by living in the comunities, listening to neighbors, friends, etc. The fact that when you buy gas its assumed and that’s why we have to prepay or leave our credit/debit cards with the clerks before we can pump. If the clerk decides to make a copy or get the info off the card and use it later to purchase something that’s just our tough luck. It happened to me and forget the banks trying to help and what can the police do, nothing
