AN OPEN LETTER TO THE BALTIMORE/FERGUSON NEIGHBORHOODS:

Me | 5-3-15 | RandallFlagg

[RandallFlagg]

I posted a smaller version of this thought on another thread while I was at work this afternoon. Thoughts?

[MeshugeMikey]

Thanks for saying what need be said!

[JohnBrowdie]

not sure they can read.

[RandallFlagg]

I put it on my Facebook feed, too.
Let’s see what happens.

[RandallFlagg]

Well, it’s true!

We gun nuts just LOVE expanding our territory.
Infecting as many as we can!

[Tupelo]

Teach them to shoot and they will turn the guns on us. But wait they already have.
Sorry , but I say lets them figure it out for themselves.

[MeshugeMikey]

the more the merrier

if the THUGS can be stopped before the escape the ghetto all the better

People in those neighborhoods have been armed for several decades—even old ladies. Over the past few years, they’ve become better armed, probably as much as people in outer suburbs. Having done industrial work or been trained by others who have, many have gunsmithing skills. They just don’t talk about it as much.

Been there.

Don’t forget Mr. Flagg the black community has been under unrelenting attack by the Marxist dim’s since LBJs Great Society. The dim’s destroyed their families, took away their dreams, took away their pride, took away their ability to make a living, and slaughter their babies via abortion. And I have only scratched the surface. The first pubbie that articulates this message and provides a vision and plan for a way out will start getting the black vote. Hispanics be ready, you’re next in the Dim’s sights.

[RandallFlagg]

I doubt it, considering I added this to the statement:
“I’m NOT talking to the lawbreakers here. I’m talking to their neighbors, friends and families. You people who broke the law made your choices. You had your chance.”

Perhaps, I’m naive, but these are still Americans.

With the proper guidance, knowledge and motivation, they can still achieve.

They have everything they need to do so in the palms of their hands.
And at the pads at the tips of their trigger fingers.

[RandallFlagg]

And, I think they don’t talk about it much because they don’t want to draw attention from their benefactors.

This would yank the teeth from that shark.

Empowering them to become something greater.

Just write it in cursive and you’ll weed out a lot of undesirables.

[familyop]

My kids were in a private school in a suburb of a large, western city (some would call it lower-middle class). The younger one was taught to write in cursive in the first grade. We moved to a half-affluent area on the Rockies (some of the families upper-middle class), where there was no private school.

The second grade teacher in the public school there told my younger kid to stop writing in cursive. Pupils there began to learn to read cursive in the third grade and learned to do so fairly well in the fifth.

We need to cut federal pork to state and local governments. If we won’t do that, then the default process will eventually solve the problem for us.

[RandallFlagg]

I’m quite aware of that. ALL of that.
I’m a student of Limbaugh, Levin, D’Souza and Gresham.
But, there is always the force of nature.
That force demands that a being be able to defend itself.

I’m hoping that this would unite us all for the betterment of our Constitutional Republic.

It couldn’t possibly hurt, and it would make us all stronger as a whole.

More freedom is always a good thing.

[RandallFlagg]

I’ve been to Africa.

Met lots of wonderful people.
A lovely woman told this 24-year-old idiot at the time, something that hit me to the core:
“We’re poor, but we’re proud.”

I’ll never forget that.

I've been to Africa too. They could teach the dingdongs from Baltimore a thing or two.
I also work with an African who is as far from those idiots in Baltimore as I am - the only thing he has in common with them is his skin color.

The image is pretty funny though. Fits for the idiots in Baltimore... not Africa, of course.

[RandallFlagg]

True.
But, I’d only apply that to thew lawless thugs looking for freebies.

Not to the majority in those neighborhoods.

Again. Call me naive.

I’ll still have hope.

"And, I think they don’t talk about it much because they don’t want to draw attention from their benefactors.

There are ordinances and laws (laws by way of states that the cities are in--some cities in some states) against carrying weapons in those cities. That's one reason for the silence. Nearly everyone carries, though. The other reason is that making ownership of firearms known in such a neighborhood is a tactical error, just as it is anywhere.

People in such neighborhoods do participate in technical discussions about firearms around the Net, and most of them are conservative. Most of them don't mention their race but once in a great while, but that's where you can hook up with them for tech. talk.

They are less likely to mix such discussions with politics. Some technical discussion boards don't allow much political speech at all except for Second Amendment related announcements. The political organizations for government interests on both sides have done more to most of us than for us.

I was going to link to a YouTube instructional video on minor gunsmithing by a young black man. But after seeing many of the recent comments here, that probably would not be a good idea. Will PM one to you, RandallFlagg.
