Reply #6 has his picture... I assume his gang also looks like Obama’s sons... The press needs to tell the truth - problems can’t be dealt with when people are afraid of being honest.

“Justice” for “just us.”

Trouble is, the city government (which runs the police top brass like true puppetmasters) is in debt politically to the ghetto aldermen and “revruns”. If some zots get what’s coming to them on Michigan Avenue, the “revruns” are gonna scream bloody murder...and perhaps withhold their political support.

If the powers-that-be ultimately do respond to the situation as you described, it will be a long and bloody road to that point. They’ll keep lying, ignoring reality and kicking the can for as long as they can...and a lot of us normal working stiffs and tourists will end up paying the price.

Not really, I got it first hand from a former US Army Warrant Officer who had worked as a Korean translator after the fact.

No, No, No...The latest count is at least 50 shot, 9 dead. We wait for Monday mornings to get the weekend body count on Wls radio. And the Taste of Cheecago is coming soon, so they are just doing their dress rehearsals. But we’re not worried, the Mayor, Tiny Dancer and Gary McCarthy, the Police Chief have it under control.

Well, there have been shootings in the crowd the last few years at the Taste. If that doesn’t cause a drop in attendance, I don’t know what will.

Between invariably getting screwed on the tickets (it’s virtually impossible for a visitor to not end up with tickets left over) and the same bunch of restaurants year after year, I wonder how it keeps going.

I wonder if there’s such a concept as “social inertia”...this might be a good example of it.

Last time I was at the Museum of Science and Industry, there were groups of elementary age to middle school age kids, just running wild, no discipline, no restraint. Their behavior, and the numbers of them, just ruined the museum experience. Don’t know if they were there with any parents, or any responsible adult. But they just ran wild in there.

Liberals will say I am racist. But, it seems clear that certain types of people are uncivilized. The way they are being raised, or not raised, as the case may be, makes certain of them unfit to be out in public.

Liberals, flame away!!!

Thanks for that compelling story about the Koreans during the LA Riots — do you have a source?

I have no doubt what you’ve written is true, I just need more verification.

Thanks.

As I wrote in #45, I got this “direct from the horses’ mouth”, as it were, by a former Army Warrant Officer brought over after the riots by the LAPD to act as a liaison-translator between the city and the Korean community.

He had worked a listening post on the DMZ, so he was not only very proficient at Korean, but also understood their cultural subtleties.

However, the LAPD talked to him first, and told him to not translate, but to give messages from them to the Koreans and to the city government (who apparently they regarded as imbeciles).

So nothing of that sort will ever be published outside of this.
