BIG DADDY…..take it ez….you’re going to bust something. Women that carry purses with all their money and valuable information inside are begging to be robbed. Economy being what it is, crime is up. North or South of the county, unincorporated or not, whatever it is alive and well. And her not mentioning the race of the pickpockets is totally irrelevant, does it matter what color they were? They’re thieves plain and simple and I find it interesting that some people here naturally assumed they were of African American descent. That speaks volumes as to how far this country has come with race and its inference thereof. As long as race is an issue in this country we dont have to worry about being assaulted by foreign countries. We will self destruct from within. 2009 and look how far we’ve come. Amazing.

Seems Mary can’t do anything right these days. She’s helped ruin the science museum in West Palm and has done almost nothing to deter crime or make things better for the residents of the area. Goes to a lot of big gala’s and parties though.

I had my purse picked at Walmart’s in Green Acres. As you did, I was approached by a woman and engaged in a conversation. Unknown to me, my purse was being picked by her friend in crime. My purse was on my shoulder. They took several thousand dollars from credit cards and checks. I had to replace everything. It was like my privacy had been invaded! Walmart was not helpful. They were rude. When asked to use their phone, I was told that I could not use their phone. Thank you for letting me vent.

I’m more dumbfound by the level of this discussion than the theft itself. Even more disturbing, I’m actually commenting! How about everyone that hates Florida leave now. The knee jerker who just like to bitch leave next. Bigots, racists and snobs _ you’re out too. Crazy ass criminals and gang bangers - leave or get shot. If you’re not willing to vote or run for office, offer some constructive ideas, volunteer for public service, leave as well. Now, let’s see who’s left……..okay, the three remaining people can handle things here now and maybe recreate paradise lost.

I hope the police react better than they did for me. My credit cards and drivers license were stole out of my golf back while I was on the driving range warming up before a round of golf. Luckily, threatening weather prevented us from teeing off and the theft was discovered early. Two cards were used however and one was at a 7-11 with video security. I asked for the video but was told the police must do this. The police did not request the video before the video was erased after two weeks.

Yes the City of West Palm Beach has it own problems, but the county as a hole is attempting to fight the crime head-on. I have a serious problem when people who have no idea began to bad mouth the Chief of the West Palm Beach Police Department or the city as a whole. Crime has drop in the city as a whole, yes we still have people being killed. But the department with the leadership of Chief Bush and her command staff, we have more people presence with the limited resources that are avaible. Please do not judge, yes there has been better police chiefs in the past, but Delsa Bush is a very educated women. She is doing her best with what she has, do not think because the police officers voted for the sheriff merger has to do with the direction the police department is going or the leadership. The officers voted because the city did not want to work with their contact.
