“It’s borderline 9th Ward, 8th Ward,”
Why are their neighborhoods referred to in the same way as sections of mental hospitals and prisons ?
You don’t know what a ward is? Don’t you vote?
What timing !
A lot of times these things are staged. It adds to whatever cred’ they are trying to achieve.
Shoulda done capped his ass.
My sympathies to the mother, and the dreams she once had for each of her children. All four sons, now dead of bad decisions and/or Gang violence. Unbelievable. This in Louisiana, not Iraq or Syria. Not even Chicago.
It’s a prime example of why Lincoln should be dug up and shot again.
They buried him in a steel cage below 3 tons of concrete for a REASON.
Yeah, with the gun held sideways and about ten inches above the shooter's eye line for maximum accuracy.
Ah. You are one of the Children of Atom.
Iirc some recidivist rebels actually did try to steal his body.
Oh, I don’t know about that. A lot of the recent murders here in the DC area seem to be just what happened in the story - a stabbing at a bus stop, a shooting in a parking lot, a shooting after school - all followed arguments of pride or territory that escalated to murder. Most of these weren’t even gang-related.
Lack of self-control and civility and the inability to foresee consequences more than a few seconds in the future are pretty common amongst a large portion of the population.
Yes, I have accepted the gift of ‘The Glow’...

Wards refers to the administrative and political territories of New Orleans municipal government. The same term is used in other US cities. It is also the basis of the term “ward heeler,” meaning a political operative who works his ward for his paerty or political boss.
Family breakdown and rampant drug use explain much of the problem. In blunt terms, most of the shootings are by fatherless boys who smoke dope and roam the streets.
The Progressives keep telling us that the family is an oppressive institution and it should be broken up, and that it is a fine and healthy thing to stand around street corners smoking dope. They say if there is a problem it is because of those bad old guns and the Second Amendment.
A conscience in a pit of Hell.
I don’t have a problem with the variety of arts, but it’s not the arts that are problematic.
Which leads to the obvious next question: nature or nurture?
