a parking situation?
This is crazy. How many shootings have there been already this year? Monticello use to be a quiet little town.
Shootings. Thefts. Armed robberies.
Monticello is becoming pine bluff south.
3 months into 2016 and it seems like Monticello is becoming the Pine Bluff of Southeast Arkansas
Pine Bluff is the Pine Bluff of Southeast Arkansas….
This is ludacris!
Thugs…… just like half of the town….no sense about life other than thug life….nothing in this town….so thugs stay to sell drugs an live off of the government
This happens when the other towns get an overflow of crime. They start to spread out.
If half of these people would get a job and work at that instead of stealing and shooting the world would be better off.
The justice system is so out of line, they just get turned back out. Go back to public hangings and that would deter most of this foolish mess.
Half these comments are racist. That is all! Racist carry on…
