one state representative said it helped fuel these types of actions. your state, jacksonville, still reeling from this shooting. how do you think the current political climate is affecting the lives of black floridians? i think the political climate kind of mirrors the national political climate. but i can tell you this, the individual that did this didn t like anyone. he wasn t a far right leaning individual. he wasn t far left. one of his statements was he didn t like either side. quite frankly, he didn t like much of anything. i ll tell you this. i don t feel like in our community you ll have that discussion from one side of it, but i also live here. i also have been serving this city for 32 years. i ve seen great people in this city. this guy didn t live in jacksonville. this does not represent what jacksonville is and who we are as a community. that s my answer. i think we are a great city and
