It’s cultural…
Nothing will fix it until the people who have a stake in it want to.
Imagine, if they put 1/2 the effort into that as they do clamouring about banning firearms or objecting to single member districts.
They were probably fighting over the exceptional tailgating deal offered by Krystal: one dollar worth of bread for only $12.
That’s just a stone’s throw from brand new luxury student apartments. It hasn’t been fully gentrified yet, still a ways to go District 1 👹💩👿🤡👺
Business as usual for the dope-slingers in the hood. Guess the latest symposium on gun violence and how to stop it isn’t working to dang good huh? Well it does keep the funeral homes busy.
Mainly just 1 – starts with a “C.”
I would also guess they use a specific bail bondsman – starts with an “R.”
What was he doing out at 2:50 am?
He should have been home asleep in his affordable housing.
F the affordable housing….i need affordable property taxing and utility bills!
What’s going on at Wilhelmina Johnson center at 2:50 am?
And a drive-by shooting?
We got to be so politically correct that you cannot tell us anything more… just a male.
Probably just people in cars congregating in the unblocked parking lot in the middle of the night. Checkers is a few blocks away. A helicopter flying around would have spotted that gathering and sent a patrol car or two over there to clear the area before anybody got shot.
Cultural Center????? As Jackie Gleason remarked years ago: Hardy Har Har har
SOUNDS LIKE THE PLUG GOT SHOT AT NOTHING MAJOR
EXCEPT FOR THE TRAP SPOT GOT EXPOSED
IT SOUNDS LIKE THE PLUG GOT WHAT HE KNEW WAS COMING AFTER SHORTING THAT MAN ON HIS 8 BALL…
TOO BAD THE TRAP SPOT IS EXPOSED NOW
Why anyone would be on the streets after 2am in this city is beyond me.
Sounds like some punks asking for trouble.
Well, thank goodness we have the homeless ambassadors program starting up. Maybe the criminals and their violent gang initiations can hold off until the city employs the new eyes and ears of the downtown area.
