In the schools, churches and the streets of Liberty City, the weekend massacre that left two teenagers dead and seven others wounded has left a dazed neighborhood thirsty for answers.

But the task is proving difficult for law enforcement authorities, who have few tips about a bloody event that unfolded in front of several dozen people late Friday.

By mid-day, Miami-Dade County Commissioner Audrey Edmonson had declared ''a moratorium on crime''

That should fix it!

The money quote:

Other students expressed shock at what had happened. ''Now that we have a new president, things should be getting better not worse in the African-American community,'' said Jessica Vireus, a junior.

Wow. Just wow.

Doesn’t this go along with the Pelosi contraception plan to reduce the population burden?

When I read the title of the thread the first thought in my mind was not an actual city, but Liberty City which is the fictional city in the Grand Theft Auto video game series. It might as well have been, according to the details of the article.

>Police say one or more gunman sprayed bullets into a crowd of 50 people who had gathered outside a three-story apartment complex for a game of craps

I'm guessing that none
of these people were people
Freepers would dance with . . .

>> ... additional police were at nearby elementary and middle schools. Psychologists and counselors were also on hand to help students and teachers alike.

Far out, Dude! How ‘70s - let’s all sing kum-by-ah. Better yet, let’s try arming the law-abiding citizens in Liberty City [read the black ghetto]. Those cowardly scumbags wouldn’t dare try this crap if the crowd was armed. Details? Google up: “Racist Origins of Gun Control”.

Ho, Ho, Ho. Merry Christmas! A better life brought to you by Obama.

I guess Midnight Basketball never made it that far south. I know it's resolved all inner-city problems everywhere else in America.

“By mid-day, Miami-Dade County Commissioner Audrey Edmonson had declared a moratorium on crime . . .”


Hey Audrey, there is already a declared moratorium on crime. It’s called THE LAW.

Maybe shooting people isn’t against the law in Dade County?

I’m with you. I started to write fifteen different things about that statement, but it kept coming back to wow. Just wow. If somebody doesn’t get all the things it says about the mindset of someone who could make this statement, you’ll never explain it to them.

They need to change the words around a bit. “This is a Gun-Free Crime Zone”.
