I saw this comment elsewhere and am stealing it:

“Give conservatives a pile of bricks, they’ll build a city. Give democrats a city, they’ll soon reduce it to a pile of bricks.”

Progressive Democrats have taken once-vibrant and economically sound cities and are reducing them to crime-ridden hell-holes consisting only of piles of bricks.

Imagine how many Africans are going to die once the far left, honky turd rollers start issuing five million dollar checks to every African. ROTFLMAO. There isn’t enough popcorn in the world for that fiasco. I guess it’s the Brandon Administration’s brilliant idea on how to wipe their race problem away.

“ It appears that getting a crowd together for what is supposed to be a celebratory event is very dangerous these days.”

That statement made me think. I remember going to big kegger parties in high school in the early ‘70’s that sometimes exceeded 100 people. One thing you could expect to happen was somebody or a group of somebodies, usually from another high school would discover our gathering and try to start a fight.

That’s where it ended, maybe a couple of minutes of blazing fisticuffs and perhaps we would chase them away, but never, ever did anyone club, cut or shoot anyone, we didn’t need weapons, at 17 you are a weapon.

What’s changed? 2 prominent things…fatherless families and discipline/responsibility.

Biden will gladly take all the shootings he can get...fuel for his anti gun crusade.

Meh. Likely just another excuse to drink and twerk like a baboon in heat.

A bunch of school kids were just massacred in Uganda. Guess they don’t like each other very much no matter the continent. Just wait until they turn their wrath on white folks.

Savages. We don't have a race problem. We have a problem race.

Scott Adams is right. Enoch Powell was right.

Yep. And it never felt dangerous.

In Houston in the 80s, 90s and into the 00s, we used to have huge festivals, some that would spread over a few parks downtown with several stages for bands and lots of other events. People of all races attended. Beer, wine and mixed drinks were sold and we never had any problems. As you said, there may have been the odd short-lived fistfight between a couple of folks who’d had a beer or two too many, but even that was rare. We never thought about things like shootouts occurring at one of these.

I don’t know the exact year those festivals stopped, but they don’t have them anymore.

Huh? He didn’t say anything racist.

Anyone can be a “feral savage”—unless you, yourself, are a racist.

Yes, it would appear you are the racist!

Truth hurts. All these new names and holidays being jammed in on a majority that tries to be live and let live won’t bide well when the shooting starts or has started. They may get by with it there but try it in right places.
I say we need a junefestivus for the rest of us.
Remember you heard that here, details to follow.

Can’t wait to hear why local LE did nothing about the mob until the after the shooting started...

They only show up to draw the chalk outlines.

Seems like it really ramped up after the 2008 presidential election. Hmm...wonder why?

FACTUAL REALITY: "Juneteenth" is a racist 'holiday" to celebrate black supremacy.

That you are attacking this factual reality indicates YOU are the RACIST.

If you want to be a pro-American, celebrate the REAL Juneteenth when leftwing communist traitors (Julius and Ethel Rosenberg) were executed on June19,1953 - 50 years ago tomorrow .

It was a little jarring to hear of Willowbrook being ground zero (because yes, that’s an affluent region) until I looked up the location on Google Street View. Large self-enclosed apartment complex. I figured it must be either another case of an AirBnB being taken over for a party, or one of Chicago’s many Section 8 export colonies that the local cops must keep heavily bottled up and confined to that complex.

When I was first moving out on my own long ago, the landlord of a small building I was looking at told me to beware of those large complexes...”they’ll take anybody, and they’re not proactive on calls”. Didn’t rent from him, but I’ve kept that advice in mind ever since.
