Nice, huh? Used to be a GREAT place to live, loved growing up in Levittown. BUT, there were always "problem" sections, Crabtree being one of them, along with Indian Creek and Red Cedar. Seems that's where A LOT of the "trailer park trash" moved to from Trenton and Morrisville.

It should. It breaks my heart to get these reports on line every day and see the garbage that's moved into this town. Maybe Levitt had it right all those years ago, when he picked and chose who could, but more importanly who COULDN'T live here.

Just the reason we need to protect our 2nd Amendment rights. If the victim had been armed, this perp would be dead by now. One less piece of trash on the street.

Or, Gotta Opinion, a WAY more likely scenario would have been, the perp would have TAKEN the gun away from it's LEGAL owner, KILLED him with it and then stolen it to use in other crimes, including MORE murders! Where do you think the majority of criminals GET their guns?!?! They buy them hot AFTER they're STOLEN from the LEGAL gun owners! And the 2nd Amendment? It's no different than any other amendment, IT IS NOT ABSOLUTE! The 1st gives us the right to free speech, but IT'S STILL ILLEGAL TO SHOUT "FIRE" IN A MOVIE THEATER! I'm BEGGING the NRA to get over itself! The fact that those clueless MORONS think that THEIR right to "bear arms" (which, when written, pertained ONLY to militias!) is more important than ANYONE'S right to LIVE is just beyond me! I'm seriously thinking that there's a missing piece of DNA in every member!

Word is this was a young 20 something and it was a spill over from an incident in Goldenridge
