Miami Herald ^ | January 27, 2009 | NADEGE CHARLES

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.

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.

That's because you aren't believing in him enough, dear. Now believe harder. When you believe in Obama totally and without hesitation, things will be perfect.

Let me be the first to state that this is pent up rage caused by the failure of republicans to challenge Obama’s eligibility, had they done so the expected riots would have started as planned by Ayers and Obama.

No Riots No Piece.....

Probably not. One of the two who were shot had been arrested by the Miami Police 18 times since 2005.

This statement is beyond ridiculous. It's impossible to fathom how this girl comes to such a conclusion. Thirty years ago, I went to school and worked in Miami. Even then, Liberty City was an area to avoid at all costs. Sad to say, it doesn't matter who the president, mayor, or police commissioner might be, there are long established behavioral patterns in this particular area that will probably only continue to get worse.

Yup. That lady needs to call a moratorium on protecting criminals but even she knows that ain’t going to happen. March until you feel better, lady.

For those of you unaware,
Liberty City is on the north side of Miami. It is a predominately black neighborhood that has been the center of a couple of riots that nearly burned the area to the ground.

Too bad it didn’t
I drove through there just after hurricane Andrew and it was like going to a third world country.
Liberty city is what the govt. made Neutron bombs for.

have they even said what caliber shell casings were found? I keep hearing AK-47 but see no evidence to back it up. Least of all 9 shot and only 2 dead.
