Last year's total was less than 30.
What's the reason--gangs? turf wars? drug deals? Whatever it is, this is not an encouraging start to the new year.
UPDATE
Why not call this a "gang"? Saturday's P & C:
North Charleston police have charged two more teenagers in Monday's slaying of 18-year-old Adolphus Simmons, and they said there could be additional arrests. On Friday, a 15-year-old boy and Jackuez Witherspoon, 19, were arrested and charged with accessory after the fact of murder, said Spencer Pryor, North Charleston police public information officer. Another 15-year-old boy was arrested earlier this week and charged with Simmons' murder. [snip]"Police are not releasing any further details at this time, because the case remains under investigation, and additional arrests are possible," Pryor said. Witherspoon, two 15-year-olds and two other adults are listed as suspects on a police report about a Jan. 7 incident at Simmons' apartment. Someone kicked in the front door to the home about 5 p.m. when no one was home. Earrings and CDs were taken, the report showed. Simmons' mother, Felicia Moultrie, said the people who broke in were looking for her son. |

Chief Greenberg used to brag that when Charleston cracked down on crime, criminals simply moved "up north" which was fine with him...just so long as they left "his" town. So much for Mayor Riley's sincere commitment to responsible regional planning.
You're quite prolific. If you take a paycheck from the public, I hope you are not spending public time(i.e. public money) on your blogs.
You may rest easy!
