I stand by my previous comments. You cannot expect the city, state, or anyone else to fix the crime problem in a ghetto. They would have to have an officer on duty at that busines 24/7 and that is just not possible. East Waco cannot be fixed. Waco cannot be fixed.

Hey Andre its evident you aren't blessed with the strong entrerenurial spirit. You would probably have quit after the first week. It takes time to build a business and there are always challenges early on in most endeavors. Quitters never win and Winners never quit but then again I am sure you know all about that!

In the newspaper it said he averages about 10 deliveries a day! That's what most pizza establishments do in less than an hour. Either he doesn't have a good product or East Waco is not profitable as he once thought. East Waco is not supporting him, if he's smart he will move to another side of town.

To disgusted:Waco, Never 'assume' anything. And learn how to read. I started working when I was 10 years old, making 25 cents an hour and worked for others for over 50 years, so you do 'not' know what you are talking about, and I was trying to give this man credit for his business, and blaming the problem where the blame actually belongs. Thanks just the same! And 'NO' I don't depend on anybody for anything. And thanks wow:Waco!

Joe: I think your message is racist. Not all people of the certain race you are talking about look for government handouts. If I am correct the big banks and auto builders CEO'S are not of this race. They expected handouts and received extra large handouts with enough for the heads to get bonuses. I am of this race, I have worked hard all of my life to get through college and at my job. My family has always been hard workers. I am offended by your comment, and think it is horrible, that my children who work very hard in school, now you have labeled them as well as lazy, and waiting for handouts. I have seen just as many of other races in need as well as mine. Why can't we all just be brothers and sisters, and show love to all. I agree criminals need to be locked up. I also know that there are criminals in all races. There are needy people in all races, lets do what is supposed to be done and teach them how to survive while we lend them a hand to get back up.

Wow: He might not have read the comments but he sure hit the nail on the head said certain race expects the government, city, state or federal to take care of them and fix their problems, I am tired of paying taxes and letting these dead beats live off of me. We will take our country back!!!!!

I think the people in the East Waco community need to take up a collection or have a benefit for this business. That would be a good starting point to show community support and send a message to the punks and thugs that they are not welcome. And at the same time, DON'T leave a money bag in sight to tempt these idiots! Whether there is money in the bag or not, it creates temptation.
