By that point, decent neighbors won't move in and business has been chased away. It's too late.
You’re right, it is too late. This has been going on for six days now and it looks like the entire neighborhood is going to end up incinerated and then what? Carrying their riots into other neighborhoods.
Happened in our town. The black area had several crack houses and things got so bad even the police wouldn’t go in. Then, the peeps, let’s just say, ‘took care of bidness”. No more probs.
Lyndon Baines Johnson for the sake of a short term legacy pushed through Acts against the family which with each passing generation is destroying families and communities at an ever increasing rate. Johnson pushed "Rights" and failed to mention responsibility that goes with them for an orderly society.
It's created a much larger poverty class for both black and white, it has created far more kids without stable living at home married to each other parents for both black and white, it has created the notion government will raise the kids and provide for their education and now their morality as well for both black and white.
The voices of reason and accountability like Alan Keyes, Niger Innus, & Jesse Lee Peterson are purposely ignored for the most part. They have answers. Those answers require personal efforts and even personal sacrifices. Their answers apply both to black and white.
We see an unprecedented lack of leadership in the White House and as well in both houses which should be condemning the looting and being a role model. I can't imagine for example if Alan Keyes were in the Oval Office of him sitting back and not saying nothing. I can not imagine him had he won the Illinois US Senate seat remaining silent right now if her were a senator.
The Great Society the dream of LBJ has become a national nightmare destroying lives upon lives. It replaced personal responsibility and standards of acceptable standards of conduct in all communities black and white.
It gets worse when so called preachers for their own fiscal pleasure and for power are pimping the flock into poverty and the dependency. A lifestyle which enslaves the flock to the worst master possible that being the government of the United States of America.
I don't think being poor was ever as such looked down upon in the US as long as a person made honest effort for themselves and family. But being poor trash or rich trash was at least in my youth highly looked down upon. Trash was trash with no apologies. TRASH LOOTS!!! Trash destroys property of others in feral mentality acts.
Both my parent grew up poor and during The Great Depression one in the city the other on farm. My grandparents held their family to an expected level of personal conduct and accountability. As a result my parents and my aunts and uncles had a better life than their parents.
