With all the people being shot in South Charleston, it's a wonder that the ridiculous police here seem to have so much free time to hang out around the 7/11 beside the middle school. I'm not surprised at all that nobody seems to know the identity of the shooters - it took over four years for Brandon Greene's killer to be caught by these Keystone Cops, and everyone in SC knew who did it within a week of his murder! But Bubba's right - don't try to have a life or be a member of the community in SC - they'll simply accuse you of being a Kingpin and trash your house whenever they feel like it. Did we forget about Joe, the man who was shot by the SCPD many times for no good reason? Some of us haven't forgotten, and it wouldn't shock me if this were another case of police screwing everything up. The new cops are worse than the old ones - they're just more eager to thump a few innocent heads. Watch your back in the South C.

I knew the man that was shot his name is Mike He worked for the Overtime Louge as a bouncer the owner fired Mike because of alot of people didnt like being patted down when they walked in the door all Mike wanted was for everyone to be safe Mike started working there if anyone remembers the stabbing that happend there at overtime 3 weeks ago , The Overtime bar is a sore thumb for South Charleston its where the drugs are being sold and brought in there is all kinds of felones that even work behind the bar so you can see what kind of bar it is just last night there was a fight in there they punched this guy out and through him out the back door what kind of bar is this TV 3 ????
