The Camden apartments seem to be a pretty dangerous place. 2 serious crimes in a week is a lot.

With crime escalating everywhere, hopefully the huge increase in private citizens carrying concealed will deter some of these criminals in the future if we drop a few of them before the police arrive.
"Stand your ground" was implemented for a reson folks!

Sandra, since when is a violent snatch and grab robbery something that is "benign"? You from Chicago or somewhere else where that is just another common method of greeting your fellow thug?

Just another crime committed by a young black male. Meanwhile, law abiding citizens are supposed to believe its racist to point this out.
