Really? I knew he told me about them always waiting for them when they got a call of an accident or some kind of domestic dispute. I guess if you have medical issues you might want to be sure you live in an area where an ambulance will actually want to get to you.

minimay87 not only when an ambulance has to come because someone got hurt during a crime. also if someone has an heart attack or something like that they still have to wait for the police.

My husband told me about how in some areas the ambulance will sit a couple blocks away even if the police are 5 or 10 minutes away waiting for them to get there and diffuse the situation first. It is pretty bad if they can not even go down there to try and help save someone’s life because of the dangers that might occur. So not only are the LE trying to get there as quick as possible to try and figure out what happened and catch whoever committed the crime, but they are also having to book it to try and get there as quick as possible so that the ambulance is able to get in there and get the victim medical attention while the clock is ticking.

we do need to pray for the family. but, the girl was an accident (supposedly). this was intentional.

you might think it is racist but, it is not. it was safe in this are a until the black people moved in. the next road over from where I live is an all black road. an ambulance can’t go down there unless they have a police escourted. yes there are good black people who aren’t trash & yes there are white people who are trash. yes there is white people who will shot you over a car as well. but, as far as this area it’s the black people who are causing the problems.

yes, it’s the “same old thing” if by that you mean another senseless gun crime between friends who let an argument go too far. that “same old thing” seems to be happening alot in lately in alabama. when black friends kill each other you say it’s the same old thing & the area is becoming a hood but, when it’s two young non-black females where the dumb teenager shot her friend, it’s let just pray for the family???? i say let’s just pray for the family.

is his name rickey or rocky?? i grew up out that way it is becoming so dangerous. pretty soon there will be no nice neighborhoods. it’ll all be just hoods!

To Linda…“same old thing”.  There does seem to be quite a trend around here.  Is that stereotyping?.......NO!

i’ll bet that picture is not from a family album.  How did he get out?  he is young, black and a crimiinal.  same old thing.  happens every day.
