Code Enforcement Officer Shot And Killed After Posting ‘Condemned’ Sign
A code enforcement officer and retired marine and Afghanistan veteran was shot and killed for doing his job
but the story has failed to garner the national media coverage many believe it should have — and there’s a reason.Charles “Chip” Case, a 41-year-old retired Marine, was working as a code enforcement officer in Augusta, Georgia when he was shot and killed while on the job, according to authorities. Officer Case was sadly ambushed and gunned down after posting a “condemned” sign on a house, evidently angering Smitty Oliver Melton, the 65-year-old man who lived there, WFXG-TV reported.
Along with being condemned, Melton’s home was targeted for foreclosure by the Richmond County tax commissioner after not paying property taxes for several years. “In this case, it was just routine,” Sherman said. “If it seemed controversial or dangerous, they would call the sheriff’s office or the marshal’s office to go with them.”
Melton escaped and is on the run.
So, Code Department of Lake Wroth, know the backround of home owners or renters before you approach their property.

So with all the crime in Florida, you went to Georgia to find a black on white crime that occurred...get ready...3 years ago.
Wow. Just wow.
I didn't "go" anywhere anonymous. The news came to me and I thought it interesting enough to post about. There are several sites lately mentioning this horrendous crime.
You don't say "wow, just wow" when it's something Trump has been accused of from years ago but a murder of a White police office by Blacks upsets you.
Your priorities are skewed.
