FlintTalk.com Forum Index > Political Talk Topic: Peace rally followed by arson

Author    Post   Dave Starr F L I N T O I D Last night at 9, there was a candle light vigil at the small park at Dupont & Welch about violence. The Journal reported that over 300 people attended. This was triggered by the shooting of the 13 year old girl a few days ago. Shortly after midnight, a fire broke out in a store near the park. Four stores there were destroyed. The fire dept. said it was arson, & word on the street this morning is that it was retaliation for the anti-violence rally. That area is known as a high crime & drug area, and has been described as such by chief Lock at a meeting I attended. That must be why the new officers coming on will all be assigned to the South end. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. Pushing buttons sure can be fun.

Those dreamers must be the same folks who think the Dems arent going to be sent packing in 2010. I know you and I both remember Flint when it was a civilized place to live, what a sad state of affairs its in now. _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!!

I still sit on the front porch, read the paper & listen to the radio, but now the radio is a police scanner & there's a pistol right behind me on the chair. We used to settle personal disputes with knuckles. Saturday, a young guy down the street had a disagreement with someone. The guns came out & bullets flew. At least no innocent bystanders were hit. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. Pushing buttons sure can be fun.

I attended Cook school for my first few years of elementary education, walked to and from no problem. Wouldnt venture in there now unarmed on a bet. _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!! Barack Hussein Obama--- multiple times. Tue Aug 25, 2009 7:23 am  Dave Starr F L I N T O I D I'm a bit less than 1/2 mile North of Welch & Chevrolet, so I can hear the shots coming from that area clearly. Our kids went to Civic Park. Remember the Della theater? At Dupont & Grace, where council candidate Bernard Lawler's nephew was shot, there's a large memorial. It includes a big sign that reads: "RIP, Jizz". It's guarded by 2 gang bangers to keep it from being defaced. For a couple days there was a Lawler campaign sign there as well, but someone removed it.
