And we'll visit that shortly, but let's first take a look at today's Hoosierland weather.
We'll have mostly sunny skies today with temps reaching up to around 57 degrees, and no precipitation (that comes tomorrow).
So if you've got stuff to do today, it looks to be a fine day to get it down.
Meanwhile, back at the gun shop...
*** Regarding our 39th homicide that I talked about yesterday, there is some interesting information that people should know about the recently-deceased individual.
(such a big'un...wasn't he?)
I'm sure will be remembered (by some) as a "loving person...never hurt a fly, the life of the party...always joking...yada.yada.yada"...
BUT, what many do NOT know (or refuse to believe when it comes to the FACTS) is this story:
http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20131029/LOCAL07/310299982
He was currently under a FEDERAL indictment for TAX EVASION (from 2007), and had a very checkered past, as can be found on his "rap sheet"

The story goes on to say that he was also arrested for a dog fighting ring that caused 46 animals to be removed from his house and be put down...and now it was HIS turn.
I view this not so much as "just" a homicide...but more of a PUBLIC SERVICE...in essence, my brand of "urban renewal".
I report the FACTS...that people NEED to know (and the media might cover, if it strikes their fancy).
Harvey also owned several properties on E. Pontiac St., a house in Monroeville, and bought (with his mother) the McKinnie Tap, a watering hole located at 626 McKinnie Ave. This was purchased back in 2003 under the "Cline and Harvey" LLC.
The LLC was dissolved in July 2008 (around the same time this tax evasion indictment is targeting).
Harvey was also convicted of BRIBING two Allen County investigators in the prosecutor's office in connection with a drug conspiracy case.
Here's a related article from 14 September this year:
http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20130914/LOCAL03/309149982
He was accused by former FWPD officer Gentry Mosely of running cocaine from Texas to Fort Wayne, but the conspiracy charge was dismissed when Mosely was charged with murder.
This was back in 2001.
Mosely was fired from the department, eventually acquitted of the murder charge, and was given a 10 year suspended sentence reagrding drug conspiracy, in exchange for his cooperation in the case. Harvey was given a 6 year SUSPENDED sentence (why?)
And now YOU know a crapload more about the latest homicide "victim".
Forget family for just a moment - this guy was nothing short of "20 miles of bad road" to this city...and to society in general.
*** Now we couldn't talk about ONE shooting without speaking about yet ANOTHER one...could we?
Here's the link:
http://www.wane.com/news/crime/man-shows-up-at-parkview-randallia-with-gunshot-wounds
Well, this one took place around 0100 hrs this morning and is believed to have happened near the intersection of E.Wayne St. and S. Anthony Blvd.
Police were called to the intersection 10 minutes earlier for a report of shots fired, and when they arrived, found spent shell casings and broken glass.
As usual, no suspects and no motives yet.
*** A double shooting up near Dupont Rd. left two women in hospital, one in serious condition.
Here's the link:
http://www.wane.com/news/local/shooting-leaves-one-person-in-serious-condition
Stephen Dale Walker, age 34 was the shooter and has a very nice mug shot, as opposed to many others we feature here.
It's called NATURAL JUSTICE, folks.
Live it, learn it, love it.
*** The City Council "Fifth Tuesday" meeting takes place tonight at 1730 hrs downtown, and although I would love to attend, they could not permit me enough time to describe (in detail) what goes on just in MY part of the ghettohood...and how little seems to have been done to halt the flow of crime from the areas directly NORTH and SOUTH of us.
The former quadrant captain told me that it was constantly changing...crimes go south, then back to our area, then up north, then back down south.
Even with all the tech they have, fewer officers is not making things better...is it?
Not to mention some of this tech is finding it's way into criminal hands...like scanner apps for phones.
The city is playing this up a lot...like the past 16 years of crime down here hasn't been worth the mention.
I'll be watching and blogging about this tomorrow, make no mistake about that.
I want to see IF these "leaders" will address the REAL issues, or wind up taking us all for another lesson at Arthur Murray's Dance Studio.
(because they sure know how to do the "two-step")
*** Lastly today, it's not about programs, so I don't want to see this meeting turn out to be another mission to waste our time and money for projects that offer no long-term solutions...and besides, you can only have SO many basketball players in the NBA.
And that's not by GIVING them free stuff...we've done enough of that, and all it did was produce generations of chronically-dependent lowlifes.
TEACH them to be self-motivating, ENCOURAGE them they can become BETTER people, EDUCATE them on how to advance THROUGH adversity, rather than embrace and wallow in it.
MENTOR them on how to CHALLENGE THEMSELVES...the way we used to be taught, both at school AND especially at home.
You take care of THOSE aspects of human behavior,. and most ALL the rest will take care of itself.
Therein lies the lesson for today.
Stay SAFE out there, America

As to Jovan, a) that hadda be a BIG gun; b) It seems as though unless you were driving or a dog, he was harmless enough; and c) the tax evasion and bribery charges tells you he was just bright enough to MAKE it look that way.
The other yahoo? That was near my old stomping grounds. People like that DESERVE to live in Dupont Estates. I know from my experience with the prop mgr that he's probably used to getting bent over.
Chris:
The mere fact that police tagged SO many shell casings made you wonder how many rounds it took before the shooter found a vital organ to off this fella.
He was a "playa" for almost 2 decades...Careers R Us?
(shoulds, woulda coulda)
I cringe whenever I hear about a trailer park...and a domestic.
Those two go together like gasoline fumes and an open flame.
Hey, thanks for stopping by today and commenting.
You stay safe up there.
As you already know, Jovan was a real dirtbag. Sleezy. Scum. Of course his minions and his family have nice things to say about him. I wouldn't expect them to be honest. They dont give a sh*t about him being a piece of shit. He's their family so they look past all that. I understand that. A lot of them didn't see the error of his ways and it's because they align themselves with him. They see themselves in him.
This was an adult male human being. He wasn't a man. He didn't have even a shread of integrity about himself. None. F*ck Jovan Harvey and his soft spoken a** and f*ck Bam (Brandon Dock) too! He (JH) was a malignant narcissist. A narcopath.
