Shelby: Right in the middle of the American Legion World Series games; where disgraced and defeated former Commissioner Eddie Holbrook, County Manager Brian Epley and Commissioners Susan Allen, Ronnie Whetstine Johnny Hutchins and Doug Bridges are putting on the 2019 ALWS games at county taxpayer expense–touting Shelby as the City of Pleasant living- the major Charlotte TV News reporters are up at the Cleveland County Law Enforcement Center with horrible news. Murders and shootings are rampant in Cleveland County. And a 16-year-old black male named Malik Jones was served a murder warrant while in jail and was involved in 13 shootings in Shelby in July alone. Jones has been dubbed the “most dangerous human being” by WSOC- Channel 9 TV. Jones was also charged with possession of a weapon of mass destruction!!
Charleston, Las Vegas, El Paso and so many more places have their mass shootings. Shelby and Cleveland County Just made that list. By a teenager. Probably a CCS student. Cleveland County and Shelby is waiting for some expert opinion on what went wrong here and why???
So much for tourism bound for Cleveland County, no matter how many $$Millions ($7 million budgeted in 2018-2019 alone) the Commissioners waste promoting Cleveland County and Shelby.
