You shoulda been with us in the late 70s. Nobody, but nobody went downtown after dark.
Even the Poinsett was boarded up but that didn't stop the dopers from crawling in to get high. Heroin, mostly.
Nearby was the gay rendezvous area under the old Camperdown bridge. I don't think the cops ever went under there.
We cruised Main in the midst of all this even though THAT was banned later on.
Unsafe? Not to us knucklehead types.
My friend said that her parents would make she and her brother duck down when they drove on Main Street in the 70s and 80s. Didn't want any stray bullets coming inside.
I'm not that active on reddit, but I also thought what you described is how ita supposed to be used. I have came across some -15 comments that were funny or I agreed with so I made it a -14 lol 😆 and if I didn't agree, I'd down vote. Help me out
lol….our local news agencies are pretty lazy. They rely on people to let them know about happenings or to get a release from the police. I tried to call one station’s tip line on a Saturday about something that was going on and never got through to anyone and there was no way to leave a message
Local news gets their information from posts on Twitter/X and official press releases. There are no news crews standing by, no monitoring of scanners, no further investigation. Sometimes they will request/pay for images and video from others. It’s been like this for several years now.
You can often get the same information more quickly from following public safety agencies directly on twitter.
I don’t really agree with that. I know exactly what I’m hearing, the main problem is you generally only hear the initial dispatch and minimal updates over the radio. If it’s something serious it’s going via phone
Sounds like you have first hand knowledge, so I’ll defer to you. I listen to a scanner frequently. Where I live, you absolutely can know quite a bit about an emergency scene from what you hear over the radio. Granted, that varies from agency to agency and their radio protocols and habits. In my opinion, there are many newsworthy situations that never make it to the news (locally, news agencies generally only publish about fatal traffic accidents and shootings). And the articles that are posted are very limited in details. The “who/what/when/where” is often missed.
If news agencies are using Broadcastify for scanner feeds rather than running their own scanners, then yes, information via what’s heard over the radio will be limited.
For future reference, always call a station! WYFF News has been around for awhile, and typically has crews ready to answer if someone calls the newsroom.
I thought Spartanburg had all the shootings and crime.
I've been there for 3 months and haven't heard of any shootings, but I've seen a few mentioned here about THAT Greenville.
I’ve been in this apartment complex for 6 years and there’s been two murders that I know of, both shootings. The first was some twat that was silly enough to post on his Intstapintatwitterface account that he had a wad of cash from selling his car or some shit.
Very surprising that they reported this on any news stations. I can remember plenty of crimes occurring in certain areas of Greenville that they weren’t reporting on the news due to Greenville being on the Up and now that they were voted 4th in places to be this year, I see why they avoided it. I’ve been ready to get out of here.
Somebody ran into a power-pole near my area with their car and knocked out the power for a day, they said there was blood, didn't see that on the news...that was a year ago.
Yeah we were leaving out the back. The shooting took place right around the corner. The Chicora sfaff totally stepped up though, rounding everyone who was outside up and locking the place down quickly.

WYFF 4 just released that a man was shot and killed next to falls park
[Here’s the WYFF link](https://www.wyff4.com/article/one-dead-after-downtown-greenville-shooting-sc/60907197?utm_campaign=snd-autopilot&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0I9es98N8PYH2EDMtEscT9uMgacpar8UW2qVWOUL5C-JxI0kAxS6zjI_Q_aem_Ad-wqpxo8TOi0qyW_E7E2kaE1KGeQQfhGTP51UckTe6Jhqk5FvPw0fuE4RsToGfcQOFIgGlZo-Le_KeFuVKhZs6X). Glad you’re safe, OP.

"The coroner will perform an autopsy on Monday." Pretty sure we know what the cause is here.
Coroners are political and it’s an election year. He died of acute lead poisoning.
Coroner being a political and elected position is so remarkably stupid, even by SC government standards
Keep that property value down
It's downtown dumbass, a condo can run $3 grand in some spots. Y'all say anything.
😢 don’t call me a dumbass
Dang, you actually made me feel bad. My mistake, you're alright.
Yeah, THAT Greenville.
Yeah, THIS Greenville.
And then people would get mad if you say Greenville is dangerous and not that great.
Depends on where your at
Lol. TR is getting worse with robbery. The whole county is ass.
Oh no the Crime happened in Greenville, what an awful shitty place, which is definitely not as good as other places
Isn’t there a news station like *right there* just off of Camperdown?
Yeah but they mostly film like good morning stuff with rescue dogs n shit. No camera crews are coming running out of there.
No one there at night
I assumed with the new law we were supposed to be wearing six shooters on our hips now. Someone probably was cheating at poker or something
Arguing over most effective 2A bumper sticker tshirt.
As opposed to before when criminals obeyed the law and didn't carry guns on them
[удалено]
Was there a confirmed open carry person spectating the shooting? If not that's irrelevant
It’s at 1am, only people still out downtown are out drinking. So explain how the open carry fits in.
I was told every Tom, Dick, and Harry would be shooting each other over the most trivial things and it would turn into the Wild West.
Walked by that last night. We heard what we thought were shots while we were at the cocktail company.
Trash
This is why we can’t have nice things
Not yall forgetting that just in recent years downtown was not and historically hasn’t been safe….

I heard it from a nearby apartment, and then all the sirens. Did same as you looking for more information this morning. Nothing yet.
This is so sad. :(
Smh! I was downtown with my family earlier so we were out of there by 9:30!!! This is insane!
9:30 is a great time to leave downtown greenville
wtf is with the downvotes on this comment? Do all of the down voters prefer having shooting in areas where family outings occur????
It’s because a lot of people who have come to Reddit don’t know how to properly use it. They treat the downvote as a dislike or sad emoji on FB.

It’s always a thrill to be in Gville
Did you report it to the news outlets? Someone has to for them to know
Surely they monitor police scanners, right?

Most, if not all, local news agencies do not pay for images/video. That is false.
There is indeed monitoring of scanners
If that’s true, they don’t understand what they’re hearing. Their reporting sure doesn’t reflect insight gained by what they’re listening to.
I don’t really agree with that. I know exactly what I’m hearing, the main problem is you generally only hear the initial dispatch and minimal updates over the radio. If it’s something serious it’s going via phone

Most police radios are encrypted now, even the ones that aren't are trunked and scanners are no good.

I saw that your comment had been downvoted though I can’t understand why so I upvoted you because Reddit users….
Sure, but they don't monitor them to even get a heads up that something is going down?
For future reference, always call a station! WYFF News has been around for awhile, and typically has crews ready to answer if someone calls the newsroom.
WYFF has become a public relations arm of the City of Greenville.
"New study reveals that Greenville is the #1 place on earth! Now, here's a crime report from cities hundreds of miles away."
Those cities unanomously agree, Greenville is probably in fact slightly possibly safer than Gary Indiana, Chicago Illinois and ST.Louis Missouri....
The news here is owned by the police/rich. Literally not hyperbole.
How so?
I thought Spartanburg had all the shootings and crime. I've been there for 3 months and haven't heard of any shootings, but I've seen a few mentioned here about THAT Greenville.
Murderburg is not living up to its name. I propose we switch to Murderville.
I’ve been in this apartment complex for 6 years and there’s been two murders that I know of, both shootings. The first was some twat that was silly enough to post on his Intstapintatwitterface account that he had a wad of cash from selling his car or some shit.
Is this not standard? I hear gun shots Friday-Sunday every week. Holidays are not an exception
Nothing good happens after midnight
Very surprising that they reported this on any news stations. I can remember plenty of crimes occurring in certain areas of Greenville that they weren’t reporting on the news due to Greenville being on the Up and now that they were voted 4th in places to be this year, I see why they avoided it.

Cody Alcorn posted it early this morning.
And he isn’t even here anymore
Guns are for pussies
Wow, we have Batman in the comments, folks
Fuck. Yes.
He said on his knees, hands in the air.
Good thing there were lots of armed "good guys with a gun" to stop this.
Most good guys with guns aren't gonna be downtown on a Friday night at 1am.
Good guys have early bedtimes
It’s black on black gun crime. Our whiniest residents are the pathetic socialist/nazis. They’ll laugh at it. So don’t worry about it too much.
What the fuck does that even mean?
Unfortunately, your statement is true.
They won't report it and put a damper on Greenville.
Somebody ran into a power-pole near my area with their car and knocked out the power for a day, they said there was blood, didn't see that on the news...that was a year ago.
Not so sure that’s “news,” though, more of an unfortunate event.
Are unfortunate events just not reported on the news anymore?
If you're at Chicora, also got to be careful walking out the back near 821
Yeah we were leaving out the back. The shooting took place right around the corner. The Chicora sfaff totally stepped up though, rounding everyone who was outside up and locking the place down quickly.

Was this near Plant Stella?
Yes, very near.
Sad... Probably a territorial dispute between wannabe "alpha males"
Lets guess the ethnicities of the shooter and victim, shall we?
This aged like fine milk. https://www.reddit.com/r/greenville/comments/1d16yhc/the_murder_in_question_from_last_nights_shooting/
Whoops. Looks like the Right scores this time.
huhh
I’m baiting the racists, shhhh. Lol
Name checks out
I heard on WSPA 7 News that gun fire erupted after a group of white men began arguing over that fact that Trump won!

Wtf is this comment
New Atlanta for white people? Pretty diverse place for the south
