A black man with a dark complexion is willing to stab someone because they would not give him a dollar?

While not surprised, this kind of violence seems to escalating both in Mobile and Pensacola.

Hopefully, since the thug left his steak knife, the police will be able to process it for fingerprints and find out the identity of this moron. You know it won’t be his first offense.

Fast food restaurants seem to becoming the next set of targets after the dollar stores.

I wonder if this Sonic was near a Walmart? Walmarts seem to draw the criminal element and the surrounding small businesses become easy targets.

The Subway robbery which happened Sunday night on Cottage Hill Rd was across the street from a Walmart.
