Killing of South Side man, 32, is third homicide in Youngstown in 7 days

Yes he was a human being and was someone's father someone's son and etc. but what gave him the right to go rob and kill an innocent elderly woman who was someone's mother, someones aunt and etc. what is right about that? And what is so right about the fact he was still roaming the streets and letting an innocent man stay in prison for his doing how good of a person is that? No one is perfect in this world but you have no right to take someones life. If the first time you go to prison come out and change your life that is great but you keep repeating crimes then you can guarantee it will come back at you in the end.

Youngstown police probe South Side shooting

Changing kids does not start with community or its leaders it starts with PARENTS!! It starts with two people who decide to bring a child into this world, and its THEIR responsibility to take care of that child, I didn't bring my kid into this world thinking ok here you go community and leaders raise my kid, feed my kid, clothe my kid I busted my butt to give my kid a home, food, and education. Parents need to be held accountable and until society stops accepting the idea that it takes a society to raise other people's kids, those parents will never be held accountable for anything these kids are out here doing. There is nothng cold hearted about the fact that if you bring kids into this world those people are responsible for those kids no one else. As a parent raising kids its the PARENTS job to make sure of the kids they are hanging around with, its the PARENTS job to make sure the kid is doing good in school. its the PARENTS job to make sure they are home and not running the streets. If they are not doing what they are suppose to be doing then its Parents job to resolve the problems because they are the ADULTS who chose to have children.

Lowdown on downtown Youngstown

On certain days an open air market fresh produce and such, different kind of gift stores, maybe selling current art work from the students at YSU, Just like the one in the strip district in pittsburgh, that place isnt in the greatest location but people flock there. YSU students are right there and live in the dorms maybe taking a survey of the students and asking what they would like to see go downtown so it would be more convenient for them, they already have the bar scene down there, but some type of stores that will make it more convenient for them. Even though Pittsburgh has sports teams that people go to see, I still enjoy going there because it reminds of the days when our downtown was booming. I'm not sure how the leasing goes on down in those buildings but when small business's come to lease maybe a short term lease so they can see how they will grow into the downtown, without having this long term lease hanging over their heads or the obligation to buy the building.

Police probe teen’s slaying

Very sad that a young man has lost his life. One thing I question in this all is if you lost a son in 2008, and then comes your younger son who was shot at a week before, why was he allowed out at 2 a.m. when there is 11pm curfew? As a parent this kid wouldn't of been allowed out until you as a parent find out why was your son shot at and what is he really involved in, could of been random but then he gets shot and killed somewhere else. I know its hard to raise kids and couldn't imagine the grief these parents are going through, but this should be a lesson to all parents about the reality of getting involved in your kids lives and making sure you know who there friends are, and finding out what they really are doing out there, and setting rules that they must obey, it could save their lives. Its sad but in this world a tighter reign on kids needs to happen.

Youngstown cop shocks student after a disruption in cafeteria

They know the cellphones are banned but yet she whips it out anyways right there goes to show the lack of respect for rules and authority. I hope they suspend her and make a example that you dont follow the rules and show respect your simply out of here indefinitely.

Search for missing owner of Avalon Gardens takes to the air

I'm just wondering if he had more blackouts than he told the family... or if he was fighting depression more than he was telling his family. Very sad and I hope they find him soon for his family. And when the conductor saw him on the tracks who says there wasn't someone forcing him in the shadows to walk those tracks just all too suspicious.

Ohio bill would require drug testing for public aid

The whole system is a joke and out of control, there is no monitoring who is getting what, and in the end the children are being neglected. It makes me so mad when you see 300lb people using the EBT cards in line at the grocery store then you look at the kids that are with them who look very much underweight, so who is getting the nutrition they need. Use to work at the y-towns schools in the cafeteria, kids would look forward to the free breakfast and lunches because they are not being properly fed at home,maybe not drug testing but maybe a weigh in for the parents who think all the food should be for them and not their kids. And in no way am I being prejudice against obese people its a sad fact that these little ones are being neglected all the way around.
