North Carolina- Friends Remember Beloved Bail Bondsman Carlos Dunlap Sr.

 


NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – Friends and family are mourning the loss of a beloved Lowcountry bail bondsman, Carlos Dunlap Sr.

Dunlap died on Saturday night after North Charleston Police said he was hit by a car on Ashley Phosphate Road.

Dunlap was a well-known bail bondsman in North Charleston. He started his business, Dunlap Bail Bonding, nearly 30 years ago. Since then, it became a family business he shared with two of his children.

“He worked every day, literally Monday through Friday. If he was gone it would be on the weekends to go to my brother’s football games, but other than that he was here,” said Dunlap’s daughter, Bianca.

Bianca said her dad did a lot for his community, including hosting a youth football camp with his son Carlos Dunlap Jr., who plays in the NFL for the Seattle Seahawks.

Bianca said Dunlap wasn’t just a father to her and her two brothers, but also to everyone he came across.

“Every one of my friends that I’ve had since I was like 5, have reached out to me saying that we all miss our dad. He definitely was a dad to the community,” said his daughter.

South Carolina State Representative Wendell Gilliard was friends with Dunlap for years. He remembers Dunlap for his generosity and the way he gave back to the community.

“He would always work the background, but he would be there to support you,” said Gilliard. “Whether it was feeding the homeless, creating things to help people in the community. Mr. Dunlap was always there.”

Bianca said she and her family are in the process of planning a funeral. She said it will be announced once the details are finalized.

No charges have been filed in the crash. Police are investigating.

FBI Fudging Crime Numbers?

Is crime going up or down.  We have been told for months that according to the FBI crime statistics, crime is going down and that it is only the perception of crime increasing that is the problem.  This dispute has come into full focus this week when it was discovered that the FBI had updated its crime statistics incredible results. * * * RealClearInvestigations dug into the FBI’s data and found that the law enforcement agency had been criminally misreporting crime statistics in a way that just happened to help Biden-Harris look like it’s been tough on crime. Last fall, for example, the FBI reported that violent crime had dropped by 2.1% in 2022. That number was celebrated by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the press, which said it was proof that Donald Trump was lying about a crime wave. RealClearInvestigations discovered that the FBI had secretly updated its crime statistitics, and instead of showing a 2.1% drop in violent crime, there was a 4.5% increase in 2022.   These weren’t minor
