The Federal Highway Administration's Office of Civil Rights

Who knew?

Anyhow, coming soon to the Fairfield Commons, FLASH MOBS! (And not the ones that sing Christmas carols.)

This may sound stupid but why does the freakin’ “Federal Highway Administration” NEED an “Office of Civil Rights”? More redundancy in the federal government. No wonder the country is broke.

There have been problems at some malls, at which minority youth arrive by public transportation.

It’s politically incorrect to say out loud. But, malls don’t want big numbers of ghetto youth scaring off regular shoppers, the kind of shoppers who actually buy things and keep the stores in the mall in business.

Anybody familiar with the Washington DC area years ago, may know what happened to Landover Mall. That mall went downhill and was eventually closed. And the reason was that the area around the mall was going downhill, and because critical masses of minority youth were hanging out and causing trouble.

I remember someone telling me they went to the movies at Landover Mall once, and it was the first and last time. They said that the youth talked and laughed out loud through the whole movie, and they couldn’t hear anything. And, the theater had rows of ripped up seats. One row of seats was no longer bolted to the floor, so the whole row became like a rocking chair or a swing to mischevious youth. It was a forbidding environment.

If malls get too many ghetto youth, they have trouble staying in business. It’s as simple as that. Legitimate customers will stay away.

Yes, I guess I’m also suggesting that these ghetto youth are not legitimate customers. They don’t buy much of anything, they just hang out and create a hostile environment.

The Office of Civil Rights is the enforcement group for several agencies. For example Health and Human Services has a group by the same name.

They go around auditing organizations for HIPAA compliance against a set of poorly defined regulations.

The proposed bus stops do not provide the solution for the problems that supposedly exists.
The complaint is that bus riders cannot safely get from the mall area to Wright State, the hospital, and the air force base, because there is no safe access over I-675. Only the hospital requires a stop near the mall, and it is several blocks away.
I live in an area that has bus stops. The new Walmart is not a safe place to shop anymore thanks to the bus route. Bus stops trashed the Dayton mall. That mall was forced to impose a curfew type rule requiring young people to be accompanied by an adult after 6pm to cut down on fights and other incidents of intimidation.

What about that 5-star French gourmet restaurant on the edge of town? No dish on the menu for under $100.

There's no bus service to it, either. So the poo' folks (predominantly of a certain ethnicity) can't get there, either.

Racism!

Who knew anyone had a right to a mall bus stop?

I see a money saving permanent cut if I ever got the chance.

When the first bus driver is killed in the hood, hope their family sues the Federal Highway Administration’s Office of Civil Rights
