Warnings do help:

If a hurricane comes, it pretty much does what it does irrespective of our actions. The buildings that were going to be destroyed are still destroyed no matter our efforts. However, when we are fore warned, we can take precautions that save lives because we know a threat is out there.

Now, when you are in a neighborhood just outside The Villages pumping gas in route to Walmart from south of 44, you know there is a person in an area that has shot an innocent retiree and is still very much in our populace. The threat is still there and still exists because no one was caught. What may be more concerning is there is the callous of these perps that it is OK to shoot others.

I will look forward to there apprehension.
