Maybe I’m missing something, but when talking about the third shooting victim in the past five weeks at the Landmark Inn on Elm-Eugene and I-40, Greensboro Police Chief Tim Bellamy sounded like he just doesn’t know what to do. I don’t discount the power of prayer, but hearing the police chief say we “just pray and hope nobody else loses their life” at what he describes as the “the No. 1 spot for homicides in the city” doesn’t exactly inspire confidence.
Even though occupants are — as Bellamy put it —-“are leaving and coming back with drugs and prostitution,” adding –no kidding —–“lot of the problems are happening in the rooms, so it’s hard to make an arrest.” If police know this is going on, then why is it hard to make an arrest?
As I said earlier —- new mayor, new city manager, new police chief…… Even better—- the N&R is going to start demanding full disclosure!
