Destructive Flash Mob At Jacksonville Walmart

[NotNow]

Parents,  character, and personal responsibility.  It has nothing  to do with race except when large groups of one race or class exhibit such a lack of restraint/responsible behavior.  I will leave the systemic reasons in this case to I-10, as he seems to have the best insight.

I-10 east, I think you and a few others started with the predictable comments. It's fine to talk about crime in the black community...but that conversation happens all of the time. We never have conversations about crime in the white community. We never talk about the cultural implications for white america when white teenage boys shoot out schools and kill large numbers of people. When it's white america we, generally speaking, know to dissociate the individual actions of a few from their general demographic.

That's why I brought up the vancouver riots and the australian party because race was not and will never be a fixture of the conversation. I can only imagine the bold punditry that would occur if black americans started rioting after a major sporting event.

So, I was hoping we could kill that aspect of the predictable commentary about black america and those kids who ran into a walmart then ran out, with out doing anything at all worth discussing. I'm also hoping to kill this false idea of racial public relations "making black people look bad." Do those kids make you look bad? They're not you. You weren't there. You didn't set it up. You didin't encourage it. You think it was a terrible thing. So, how can they make you look bad, right?

Bridgetroll, I don't know that thefts happened and neither does wal-mart. I don't condone stealing nor do I excuse it not for walmart's sake but for the sake of the kids who may have stolen, morally and legally speaking. And, again, based off of that video I didn't see conduct that was nefarious I saw conduct that was uproarious. I'm not sure if their conduct is worth condoning or condemning.

If I saw those kids on the way to Wal-Mart my major concern wouldn't be for wal-mart but for those kids. The dumbest thing they did was underestimate the potential for over zealous employees and police who see a group of black kids and decide they need to take action.

Does anybody know the actual total number of people shot in Colorado because the news' numbers are contradicting each other

whatever idyllic man.

You made your point about how you feel now that the colored peoples have moved in.

True colors in your post.

I feel sorry for you.

OK Mr. G!
I speak only in regards to demographic shift,influence,historical comparison. Apparently I am about twenty years ahead of you.You were lax on Five Points riot-when the community rises to it"s feet in concern and response you snicker,or create silly dark posters.So be it.

At least we here in Jacksonville do not hear reference to "The Triangle"; Miami's Opa-locka section where a great number of shootings have taken place consistently for the past.....20 years.

Come to think about it,maybe we have our own version,perhaps a bit shorter in time span (maybe not) and perhaps not so triangular.........inverted "L",reversed inverted "L". These things are worth watching.

Carl Hiaasen might be interested. Take the heat off bad 'ol MiaMI.

Whatever.  Your theories on how Miami was ruined by the coloreds is way more interesting than anything Mr. Hiaasen has written lately.

Indeed-consider Carl's placement,position..Much more complicated than posting on MJ.
Classic safe followup to "Millionth Mania" would be Shoppes Of Avondale.South Florida readership would likely react: "Too Bad Suckers!"   Damn Hicks-Dumb Azzz_ Jack-son-ville

We could go there together....I'll drop you off at certain areas.you on foot.I'll drive away.We do this five days in a row.
No fair alerting Carl ahead of time,the press 'coverage' would impair the study.

We could make practice runs in Jacksonville.

All of this is simply in the interest of demographic study,trends.Obviously way too much here.

Mr. G would make a good Hiaasen character.

Dribbles here proof positive it is best to simply reply/post less.
