Holy moly! Doesn't pay to be a delivery driver in this town!

I love this section. It is nice to know the truth about the crimes that happen in Charlotte. We don't hear 1/4 of these in the news. I have learned that I should never deliver pizza, work in a convenience store or a fast food joint or a gas station. Bummer

Wonder if the mortality rate and the fact that many immigrants take these jobs are correlated. HMMM....inaction on both crime AND illegal immigrants -- is this some twisted form of genocide?

It is pretty scary, isn't it? Listen to the scanner for one hour and you will be shocked as to what goes on in Charlotte! A lot more crimes occur in Charlotte and we don't hear about them in the news or on this site. I was not surprised one bit when we ranked #8 as most dangerous city and I want to see something done about it!!

Oh, I have a genuine scanner addiction now. Listening to it on Halloween night was quite the entertainment.

Children being robbed of shoes and phones at gunpoint and shot in the leg. Sure am glad there isn't a crime problem, though.
