  1. Maybe they should be considered for Pleasant Prairies mental health initiative as officers are trained In recognizing mental health ideologies?

  2. Before I would ever join this parade to judgment, I’d have to ask myself what was a person doing walking on Old Green Bay Road at night, were they dressed in any kind of light or reflective clothing? Were they actually walking on the roadway or right next to it? I’m certainly going to wait until I see some answers from the investigation.

    1. Regardless if you hit someone, stop and render aid, call for help. You don’t leave them to die.

    2. What a dumb comment. Why WaS ThAt PeRsOn WaLkiNg tHaT rOaD? Maybe they fucken walk to work. How about why didn’t the two trash individuals stop to help! Idiot

      18
    3. Even if you don’t know what you hit… you stop and check. This moron took off to avoid getting caught… not giving a crap about a dying human being.

    4. Don’t even start blaming the deceased victim for being in wrong the place. How anyone can hit someone and leave the scene of the accident is crazy.

    5. Disgusting how you blame the victim. Walking is not a crime, killing some one is, and then fleeing to escape . So you are saying that walking without reflective clothing is a crime worthy of the death penalty? Do you realize how horrifying your mental attitude is?

  3. Vista apartments has been a “wonderful” addition and has greatly increased diversity (and crime) in pleasant prairie.

    Maybe the name should be changed to “Mostly pleasant” prairie.

      Evers has actually let a few OUT that do deserve it.

  5. Maybe the Mills can build more Dindu Apartments there with State tax money and the permission (paying off?) of sell out Dem politicians.
    Go downtown on any warm weekend and the talk to each other across the street crowd will have you thinking you are walking into a Sox game.
    One thing for sure; they won’t be built near their McMansions.

  8. peoples are so silly maybe they got scared not saying that they should’nt have call for help most peoples that’s commenting would have done the same thing.Stop calling ppls names.

  9. Kudos to KCE for publishing names and photos of those arrested in this case. I noticed that none of the other news publications online published either the names or photos of the accused. People have a right to know who is committing these types of crimes, who is killing people.
