The following link was provided by WKRG. This is an official web site detailing daily arrests in the Mobile area. So far today, 133 entries have been made on today’s page. Crime down in Mobile?-Just how naive does the mayor think we are? Check this link out - You’ll be amazed at how *few* of these crimes make it to the news media. Look at this - http://www.mobileso.com/mcso/jp_dr.asp
It might be a good idea to spread this link around - other people may be interested in learning about the true crime rate here in Mobile and surrounding areas. JMHO

If you will notice, channel 5 says the occupants of the car are black. The mobile Press does not say that. know why? They are a racist paper and will not give a discription of a thug if he is black if they can get away with it. They want you to think black crime is down in mobile. phooey.

Picture this. A clown car with big shiny rims, windows down with loud distorted rap music blaring, several black juveniles nodding their heads as they pass the joint around, guns near them on the seat. Oh look! A 56 year old man walking down the street. He looked at us, he disrespected me! He gonna have to die for disrespecting me and my ride. Gimme my gun. Oops, almost got my hand that time (oh wait that happened a few blocks over on Ann St). Yes, another peaceful night in the quiet city streets of Mobile.

What’s “NEWS” about this? It’s just your everyday random shooting in the ghetto…nothing NEW about that.
