Dear Members and Friends:

IT IS TIME TO REORGANIZE AND BE HEARD!

I have been remiss keeping everyone informed on the crime situation in Savannah and the undertakings of Save our Savannah. There are many excuses, lazy, work, vacation, apathy (say it ain’t so) and some health issues. Be that as it may, Save our Savannah is back and working towards a safer Savannah for everyone, everyday.

Let’s review our progress since we first started paying attention to crime in Savannah. Number one and by far the most important is the hiring of Chief Berkow. All of you that had a hand in his selection need to pat themselves on the back. I have heard very positive feedback regarding the Chief’s time in Savannah. He is implementing the changes necessary to improve our police department. Chief Berkow is working on hiring practices, physical training, department reviews, shift allocations, strengthen procedures in the evidence lock up and many more. Every indication is very positive and we believe the Chief is capable of achieving the necessary changes if politics does not raise it ugly head.

The city has promised to have the cameras in the park by the end of this year if at all possible. Progress to date is slow but moving forward. The installation of the cameras will just be the beginning of an overall plan to implement lights and cameras as part of a technology based solution to reducing crime.

Lately there has been a lot of crime news particularly in regards to gangs. That is the bad news. The good news is that the arrest rate is up 40%. Improvements have been seen in arrests, officer morale and response time that is necessary as part of the overall changes needed. Congratulations to the Chief – please keep up the good work. Let us know if Save Our Savannah can help you in any way.

Some of the things we have on our agenda for the near future are:

1. Change the name of Save Our Savannah to a more appropriate public relations name. There are approximately 800 members and we should be able to come up with something more suitable to the changing environment. Please send in your suggestions for our new name.

2. Schedule an Advisory Board Meeting within the next three weeks. (Please advise if anyone is interested in joining the Board.)

3. Proactive contact with City and County Officials to create a plan to include, Judges, Prosecutors, Police, Parole officials and the public that will make Savannah the Safest City in the United States. Our public officials should know that we will not settle for anything less.

4. We will be joining forces with other organizations to help devise a plan to get guns out of the hands of felons. No I am not anti gun but as Rudy said, “Guns don’t belong in the hands of felons.”

5. Help with the Police Foundation – more information to come.

The most important element in making Save Our Savannah program effective is your participation. What ideas would you like to see us try to incorporate? Please call Eileen Nuzzo or me at 912-352-3800 to discuss your thoughts.

Thanks to all of you for caring about crime in Savannah and the positive ways in which to improve.

    Dear person who gives a damn, I have had my business robbed,trucks with concrete blocks smashed the windows out,7 trucks rearended all by black drivers,most with no insurance,friends shot while working in town,etc. treat me as you want to be treated. Treat me bad,I will treat you worse,white or black. I can only imagine losing a child. I am 59 years old,worked hard all my life,nobody gave me anything except my parents morals,loyalty and love. The Black attitude should alarm all white citizens their community is in Grave danger. I am personally fed up with it and will not accept it any longer, anywhere,anytime. I stay ready for confrontation at all times. It has become an obsession to me. I usually have several a week in savannah. I have been banned from numerous establishments,have had the blacks call the police for me speaking out against unjust things. I stay focused at all times,carry an assortment of weaponry I practice everyday. I haved lived longer than I should,not afraid to die at anytime(at times welcome it). It will be hard to wake the white people up, but once awakened it will be a war. Go to a gun show and se who is buying up military weapons,1000 round cases of ammunitions,handguns,etc. The white man. I truley beleive they are mad and willing to protect and serve to keep their families safe and free from this cancer. I am not a racist, until you make me one. But be sure of one thing, if they tread on me or my family, or any other innocent citizen and I am there, I can be worse. So please know that there is one white man in savannah that has had enough,has nothing to lose and embraces vigilant justice. God bless us all!

    I personally support thug on thug crime,it costs the actual taxpayers in this city a lot less. Ask yourself these questions. What is the largest race in savannah? Who commits the most crime? Who takes up more jail space? Who has the most entitlements? Who has the most city,county,state and federal jobs? What race is growing faster than cockroaches? Who gets welfare checks,foodstamps,etc? Who steals the most cars? Who says they want a job,but never applies for one. Who has the most vehicle accidents? Who drives with no permit,insurance? Who is the babies Daddy,not the husband? Who throws their newborn in a dumpster? Who breaks into houses and steals, and then puts the victims dog in the oven and cooks the poor animal? Who would boil their baby in a tub of scalding hot water? Who does the driveby shootings and kills small children? Who wants Muslims to erect a mosque at ground zero? Who gets free housing,then destroys it,then the city tears it down then builds new free housing? What race is rewarded for laziness? Who litters the streets of savannah? Who is hired to clean it up? Why is savannah crime rate twice as high as the national crime rate? Who whines and bitches the most about everything? Why does it take two city workers to hold up one shovel? Why bid a job when you know a minority contractor will get it,it will be poor quality,never completed,but they will be the lowest bidder,no w/comp,no insurance,etc? I could go on and on but I am bored ! For those of you who read, watch the news, and can do first grade math, it is evident who the feral man would be. They wear oversized white t-shirts,shorts to their ankles,ass hanging out, grasping their crotch uncontrollably,looking for something good in life they can take from me and you. They buy a dollars worth of gas to get to their next victim.Have no regard for human life, except their own. If anyone can read this please email me back and let me know if I am right,crazy,or just a nut job,or maybe a business owner,family man,who gives a damn about securing his home,business and life.
