Last one to prove my North Texas sucks to raise your family
 

15 minutes from my House.

FW Teen Shot, Killed When He Answers Knock
Boy's Death Second In 3 Days; Mom Shot In Thigh
For the second time in three days a knock at the door, ends in gunfire and at least one person dead.

The South Fort Worth shooting happened about 2 a.m. at the Ladera Palms Apartments, in the 2300 block of Galleria.

According to reports, the 16-year-old was asleep on the couch when he heard a knock at the door.

Kelvin Collier opened the door and was shot by whomever was standing in the door way.

His mother, who was in a back bedroom in the apartment, jumped from a second story window when she heard the gunshots, police said. She was shot in the thigh as she ran.

The mother said she did not get a good look at who was doing the shooting nor could she tell police if there was more than one person.

The woman was taken to JPS. Police said they do not have a motive for this shooting.





Within the next 6 months, we are out of this Louisiana converted State.

Man quit trying to make the whole dam place sound like the ghetto. Move to Plano, Frisco, Flower Mound, South Lake or somewhere nice. All metopolitan areas have "slums" where the creetons live and lurk. You will never escape this unless you relocate to a small town community and then still you have to deal with small town mentalities...

Go get your concealed hand gun license and quit crying about N TX as its not anything like you are describing. People get shot everywhere in all parts of the world. When you find "perfectville" please let us know as we will all join you when you find it.

Meanwhile, man up, lock and load and help the community by standing up and not running like a scared school girl.

Keep denying it. I have my eyes open. Arlington used to be the place to live, now it is sunny south dallas like. When you want to raise your family in a nice place, you put down roots and establish yourself in an area and then in the past two years it is showing the turn of the tide, you get mad, angry, and want to do something. Not leave. But that is what we are left with. Yes it is that bad over here. Plano is not wonderful anymore. I did say in the heading of this email this is the last one. No need to tell me to stop crying because I told you I would in the heading. As far as standing up for the community, f this community. My family is not worth any one of these pieces of crap that are moving in and doing this.

That is what happens in the US. The crime element moves in and the good people that can afford it move out. The government only gives me the right to protect my home.property. Not fight for my city. I do have a cc license.


I just want a better life for my family. Montana, it looks like I am on my way.

The mother set it up.

Re: Last one to prove my North Texas sucks to raise your family
 

I wish you luck as Montana would be a nice choice for anyone. However, I was born and raised here in the DFW area and all of the example you list were from Fort Worth in which everyone knows has been pretty much over run by mexicans. You can acutally buy a house in FtW for around 15k.

Now, you bring up Arlington where you have lived and I do understand you establishing your "roots" there. And I dont mean to be mean but on my nice-0-meter on a scale of 1 - 10 Arlington would have never ranked above a 3 compared to many nice areas here in DFW.

Furthermore, Arlington is known by all in DFW to be the Topless Bar and prostitution capital of DFW. There are more topless bars and 100% nude bars in Arlington than any other place in ALL of Dallas and FortWorth combined.

I know its probably hard to come to the realization that you as a possibly quality family needs to get out of your area, but by all means that is not the same reflection on the entire part of Nort Texas as you have stated. Not even North Dallas as to my knowlege Arlington is considered to be part of the "Mid Cities" area of Dallas and it is not part of "North Dallas" such as Carollton, Plano, Frisco, Lewisville, Mckinney, Allen just to name a few that have very low crime rates but yes on occasion crime does happen.

Montana would be nice, but I think if you need/want to stay just have a look further north than you are now and you will find some very quality cities in which to live a nice peacful safe life and rest well about your childrens educaiton.

Apparently Katrina ruined more lives than just those that had to pick up and move.

Man I am north. Not Denton North but I am in the Southlake/Colleyville/Keller area. Arlington was the destination of choice in the 80's. Now it is a Poop hole. That is what I am worried about for our area. It was noce in the 90's and early ots but is slowly turning into the poop hole. I think it is the Mexicans from Mexico and the border jumpers from louisiana have just really sped up the process. I am open to ideas on where to move. We bought 35 acres in east texas that we planned on building on but the landscape has gotten darker. There are no jobs in the Sulpher springs area which means the newcomers are on old Uncle Sam's Dime. So we sold.

I am afraid the state I love (because of the outrages numbers of people from lower income moving here by the butt load) is going to be ruined.

So I am looking to the future and while my kids are young I am going to move them. I love Texas, I love Texans, I don't love criminals or capable wellfare recepients.


I plan on moving out of the city but I am concerned about the landscape in 10 years-20 years. That is my worry with Texas.

Re: Last one to prove my North Texas sucks to raise your family
 

Nice Site. The crime stats just show inner Ft. Worth. The big city is understandable for crime stats. It is the suburbs where it is becoming more prevailant. Where it was not before, it is growing.

As far as Katrina affecting more than just Louisiana, I have a bunch of older family in la. and I can not stand to visit. Cities and states population of lower income people rose considerably. I am interested to see the 2010 census numbers. New Orleans was and still is a S hole.

Re: Last one to prove my North Texas sucks to raise your family
 

Any advice on where to live is appreciated. Texas is awesome. I just wish I felt comfortable raising my kids here. Maybe I am paranoid or a vegighna.

We have 200+ acres available to move to in the Hills of Kentucky (North East) but I am not real interested in dealing with extended family issues. (I am also afraid the hillbilly in me may come out being around all of those hillbillies)

I am not 100% sold on MT. It may be toooooo freaking cold. But with Gobal Warming, it may be just right in ten years. But then if the Ice age they were talking about in the 70's/80's comes around, I may be screwed.
