drug deal go bad see thats what go down when those white guys come from west county to by drugs
What’s the murder count up to in the city? Have we broken last year’s record yet?
twyonbd -
When did Baden become West County? Buy a map. Halls Ferry between Riverview and North Broadway is hardly Ladue, brother. Unless your “West County” is anything west of East St. Louis, this doesn’t qualify.
And I missed where it said he was white.
I think we are below last years numbers but I’m beginning to care less about how many gang bangers kill each other. Saves the taxpayers money over housing them in prison for decades. Sad when you become numb to these horrible stories. And I agree, Baden isn’t definetely not west county. North county and north city border area.
Emma is in Jennings and Walnut Park not Baden. This happened in Walnut Park best I can tell.
twyonbd, have you ever attended school anywhere or are you blogging from a laptop in some prison? Get a life!
stlguy38, last year’s murder rate was nowhere near a record. This year’s will not be close either.
Patrick Hines, according to case net, lived in the 5900 block of Emma through 2008. Three marijuana possession charges over the last 5 years, that’s it. Probably street dealing pot and it got him killed. Maybe he came back to the “hood” after moving to Hines St.
Can we please legalize pot for pete’s sake. This guy was clearly low level, probably just liked to get high and not smart enough to actually have a real job.
To someone from Baden , Jennings is west county, Hope they catch who did it.
Mr. Ebony, in regard to twyonbd’s brilliant commentary you stated “but he/she stated in a previous post that he/she is white and I am so happy.” YEAH, and I got a bridge for sale. Sorry, but you can’t feel superior today. He’s ALLLL yours…
