Here's one of the little misunderstood darlings.
Stupid gang members and even more stupid parents of the kids who were allowed to go out dressed like that.
Who is out trick or treating at 10pm? Nevertheless, prayers for the boy that was shot.
No hate crime legislation I’ve ever seen has made ANY reference to discrimination against persons for wearing “the wrong gang colors”.
It should. HATE is the motivator. Can’t wear “BLUE” on my street. Can’t wear “RED” on my street.
Can’t have thugs dictating “ownership” and “terrorial rights” over a street.
But it’s easier to write some revenue tickets than get the gangs off the street.
My horrible parents never allowed me to go tricking at halloween. Their motto: we do not want you to beg for candy. Do something useful first and then negotiate to be paid in candy.
I don’t really believe the premise of the shooting. I think the shooters grasped that the holiday would provide a plausible-sounding EXCUSE for a shooting.
These losers want drama, and they got it.
The shooters are less stupid than is thought in this case.
Arrest the stupid mayor, he made this stuff possible.
A friend of mine works at a middle school, and one time she showed me the list of wardrobe items that are banned at her school because they indicate you’re in a gang. Much of it is innocent...certain colors, for instance; sports logos or innocent words on T-shirts, skipping a belt loop when you put on your belt or leaving the second button on your shirt unbuttoned. The list has to be constantly updated and revised, as well. With so many silly things supposedly meaning that you’re in a gang, how could anybody keep up with it? Any one of us could be innocently wearing a certain color, or maybe we forgot a loop when we put our belt on this morning. Nowadays you really can’t blame anyone for being mistaken for a gang member! We should have the right to wear whatever we want and walk down the streets, even at night.
One of many reasons why I think the traditional trick or treat should go by the boards. One of our local communities banned the practice; instead, they have a party for the little kids. Much safer for everyone.
Here's one of the little misunderstood darlings.
But I thought we had been told diversity makes us stronger.
brings back memories of the beatings I took for wearing that Kooky Spook costume.
