As we all recover from the weekend, here's a quick link recap on a shooting that resonated across the nation.
What did we learn???
The more timid denizens in the local discourse have their fears confirmed about the constant dangers of night life, young people and music.
Millennials might temporarily recognize their own mortality.
Meanwhile the cycle of American gun violence among an increasingly divided nation continues . . .

You decide . . .
A simple rules of thumb I tell my daughters. If you see a single black person the odds of violence occurring increase exponentially. The more black people the higher the odds are something bad happens. A hip-hop show would be something to stay way the hell away from. It would be more surprising if there wasn't a shooting. Millions of assholes in this country have guns that shouldn't have guns.

ReplyDelete9:29, John Derbyshire got fired for saying just that.
ReplyDeleteSo sad in Lawrence.
ReplyDeleteAnd, have we heard any more about who the fighters and shooters were in Westport a few weeks ago on Sunday at 5:30, when 200 folks at a black networking event refused to meet with police and out whoever prominent folks accidentally shot that wonderful off-duty SRO police officer from Lee's Summit? Have there been any arrests?
1:40, yes there has been an arrest. The alleged perp is what you might term a "usual suspect."
ReplyDeleteOne black person - DEFCON 1- be alert
ReplyDeleteTwo Blacks - DEFCON 2 - check the exits
Three Blacks - DEFCON 3 - head for exits
Four blacks - DEFCON 4 - get away from the area
More than four - DEFCON 5 - watch riot on TV
were french fries being served at californos at the time ?
ReplyDeleteI wonder how sLIE is handling the fact that even black people are leaving killa city to avoid the crime, my bet is he’s just going to say it’s bad everywhere instead of dealing with what’s going on here
