They ought to check out that Econo Inn on 7th A/34 St North or the one across from that station. Alot of activity goes on in those two places.

Wow...Black on working class crime again. Where the heck is Al Sharpton when you need him. I can't believe the thieves had to break in to steal money. The white man should have left the doors open for them steal things. Locking the doors is unfair and discriminates against black crimminals looking for a fast buck.
We know these worthless thugs live on the South-side of St.Pete, so lets get a rope and go find these scum-bags. Its time to lynch these scumbags!! They don't mind jail, probation or even threats from the judge, but they fear the rope!! Lets get em!

[Dr. Dug is a weasel!]
