      1. To Your2Stupid2Live. Your is spelled incorrectly. It’s spelled “you’re”, and check the spelling on Proabably. You may want to look in the mirror before calling someone a moron.

  1. I’m sorry folks, but we all know that these people will be set free. The States Attorneys in Hernando County are interested ONLY in preserving their conviction ratings, i.e. prosecuting only minor crimes of upstanding individuals because they know the innocent will plea out so they don’t risk going to jail. The guilty really dont care and will continue to perpetrate their crimes because they know prosecutors here have no moral compass. The guilty will tell you, no problem, I can do the time standing on my head. So the states attorneys tuck their sorry a$$ tails and run. We need REAL prosecutors in this town.

    1. You can request Google to blur your house for privacy reasons.

      Criminals can use Google Maps Street View to:
      Locate entrances to buildings
      Determine locations of security cameras, gates, etc
      Find good hiding places such as in shrubs and other areas
      Find holes or weak spots in perimeter fences
      Locate utility boxes (power, water, gas, etc)
      See what make, model, and color of vehicle a building occupant or resident drives
      See if locks, guards, dogs, etc, are normally present
      Measure distances between objects (using Google Earth) to determine how quickly it would take to run or drive from one point to another.

  2. Glad they got this trash off the street and out of the neighborhood.

    As for being Hillary supporters, my guess is from the Confederate bumper stickers on the one guys truck when he flies up and down the street, he isn’t a Hillary supporter. I truly doubt this type get into politics at all.

  3. Go Figure I couldn’t agree with you more. The State’s Attorney’s Office in this county is a disgrace. How long does it have to go on before Pam gets on the ball and does something about this. There are people in jail doing more time the for having 1 joint than people who commit murder. I know I don’t have to mention any names.
    You got this trash in jail keep them.

  4. ” In addition, two firearms that were reported from the south Florida area were also recovered.”
    Reported what?
    @Food for Thought I think law enforcement, politicians, celebrities, ect can have their address and house photo’s restricted from public forums.

  5. Thank you to the LEOs for doing a great job. Since yall brought politics into the conversation. Why do they get a pass on all these campaign signs left out on the roads. It seems to me if you’re running for commissioner you would be wanting to follow the code. As a candidate are you already above the laws?? This is how it starts

  6. While I’m on my soapbox, I just heard that a Florida State athlete took a knee during the National Anthem . I choose to not support any pro athletes or organizations that participate in this protest,however my taxes help support this institute of learning (really) so I do not have a choice. I understand the coach doesn’t have a problem with the protest. Shame on all of them!!!

  7. Why don’t they find their suppliers? Follow these perps to the supply chain then really have a real take down of the scum who supply this stuff. Go one step further and rehabilitate the small fry here. Don’t dump them in the private sector prisons and then let them out with no job skills to start all over. No rehab, no job training, just lock em up so the private sector makes some more bucks, dump on the street and it starts all over again. Just sick of it all. These people that you see are still God’s children and if Jesus saw them He would take them under HIS care and try to get their souls right again.
