And there is more.
Today the Star reports two young black men from Kings Mountain were arrested on 48 counts of misdemeanor and felony B&E, larceny, etc. KM Police suspect others were involved. More failures of our school programs such as Communities-In-Schools. More failures of the justice system’s probation. One of these two was out of jail on a felony crime probation when he was arrested on these 48 charges. About all probation does is provide a criminal education so the crooks are harder to catch the next time.
Yesterday, the Star reported a young white man, who had previously killed his step father, was shot by the Shelby Police in the act of stealing a military HumVee. The Star also reported $7,000 worth of property was stolen from a residence in Polkville.
Then there is Jeramy Grayson from the upper end of the county. Another walking crime wave who, when he does get caught and convicted, the DA asks for probation again.
And, don’t forget the white collar crimes like the fraudulent use of school credit cards that the DA also would not prosecute.
Cleveland County is awash in crime, gangs, and even the County Commissioners and School Board. who have probably stolen more tax money from citizens than all the B&E and larcenies combined. There are many people walking the streets in Cleveland County who have committed crimes ranging from murder down to fraudulent use of government credit cards who have no fear of punishment.
Statistics have shown that most crimes are committed by repeat offenders. Especially violent crimes. It is pretty obvious that if an offender is caught and jailed, he (or she) will do less crime and Cleveland County would be a safer place for our citizens and their property.
Perhaps enough citizens will be stolen from that they finally decide to vote the DA, liberal judges, the Commissioners and the School Board out of office. I would say that is a very good idea. And 2017 is an Election Year.
