A deliberate murder of a young woman peacefully protesting. And a second attempted murder.


How severely disappointed the Democrats are that the below is the driver:

I see the elite self loathing crowd is all over this non issue.

Just wondering if any of them have mentioned the name of Secoriea Turner? Just kidding, I know they haven’t and won’t.

Only some black lives matter to white Democrats.

Do you have ESP? You should check in with the driver.

We can only imagine your reaction had it been a white guy. God forbid had he been a paid up member of the ‘mighty’ boogaloos, MD would be having coronaries!

Economic opportunity solves a lot of problems. How bad was the crime in Baltimore when the city was thriving economically and you had wider participation.....well paying jobs for average folk? My guess is as the jobs left and drugs came in, crime went up? That would be a wild guess. Those black folks moved the jobs out of the city? My wild guess would be no?
Good guess. When the mills, shipbuilding and heavy industry dried up, the city fathers had to find something else to do. They tied their wagons to healthcare and bio-technology. Very different kind of workforce needed. It takes no imagination at all to understand how this preferentially further disadvantages those already on the bottom of the working class pile. Those who were more mobile (white working class) could move elsewhere to similar jobs in industries they knew and had worked in. Those with few / no assets were stuck. No problem attracting the types of workers needed from out of town and already had the institutions in place to grow the new Baltimore. These decisions weren't made by black men.

As far as I can tell, there was no malicious intent, but there was also less consideration given to the game plan than was really required. This was taking place in the 60s through 70s into the 80s, not overnight. Very racist period in our (the country's) history. The "moral majority" (white working class), "silent majority" (white working class) being dog whistled to by the republican party and their southern strategy to remain in power. Selling white tribe fear, just like today. Not to mention the federal government's (J.E. Hoover) plan to turn a blind eye to those exploiting the "drug distribution" opportunity in the black community, further impoverishing.

These decisions weren't made by black men. The white power structure is responsible for this.

He should be prosecuted for vehicular homicide. We just had a hit and run in my town yesterday. A fatality. Police are looking for the driver. Hopefully he is found and prosecuted.

This is why I liked Andrew Yang even if he wasn’t a real contender and limited. He focused on retraining, acknowledges and accepted the reality that we have to give up some industries and jobs (unless you want to keep trying like Frank Sobotka) and was honest about it while focusing on the damage of such displacement. It’s the obvious right thing and where all politicians have failed for 3 decades.

But it’s not just Baltimore, drove by a new “tech corridor” bldg in I20 heading west a back to Atlanta today (empty), everyone tripped over their own d*#ks to throw money at Amazon. Have seen Pittsburg pimping tech and healthcare, Boston pushes biotech pretty hard (especially since the modern era doesn’t value active asset managers much these days). Raleigh is trying hard as are a bunch fo cities. But it’s all weak attempts, “we will call ourselves open and create a few subsidies and tax breaks and we hVe a few colleges nearby so surely it will come with this silly effort”.
Now I love those cowboys, I love their gold
Love my uncle, God rest his soul
Taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know
Taught me so well, that I grabbed that gold
I left his dead ass there by the side of the road, yeah

What are you saying - that he is a Democrat? How would you know?

He crashed his vehicle in a BLM rally and struck 2 transgenders:


https://www.smobserved.com/story/2020/0 ... /4743.html


Evidently, he is of Somali background. ''The Washington State Patrol is holding Kelete on possible terrorism or manslaughter charges. '' Then there's this: "Witness accounts do differ. Some say Kelete was trying to avoid the protestors. ""Deliberately targeted." Excuse me? It was a black man that hit her, and as far as I can tell he swerved to try and avoid people on a freeway, in the middle of the night. Our politicians are shameless."


Dunno how this is all going to shake out but it's best to wait until all facts are in before rendering uninformed judgment.
It has been proven a hundred times that the surest way to the heart of any man, black or white, honest or dishonest, is through justice and fairness.

It would seem so much easier to just do the right thing. This country has been moving forward in 2nd gear but so long as the haves eat off the top, they don’t care. My father pointed out to me a long time ago that this is one of the few countries where poor people Enthusiastically fight the battles for the rich.

There are no easy cures for the problem of unarmed black people getting killed. But without strong black leadership, the solutions will likely continue to prove elusive.

At a minimum, these protests will likely provide the needed re-structure in training and discernment.
