| Police Called When Crowd Signing Up For Housing List Gets 'Out Of Control' |
| 2012-12-10 |
| [10TV] Columbus, Ohio, police sprayed Mace on several people in a crowd that had gathered to sign up for a list to get subsidized housing at a northwest Columbus apartment complex. Y'can't expect Obamaphone users to go without a subsidized roof over their heads, can ya? Police said the crowd started to gather Friday night for the Saturday morning event at The Heritage apartment complex on Gatewood Road near Sunbury Road in northeast Columbus. Authorities said that its highest number, the crowd reached 2,000 people. Residents in the area called police overnight and complained about the noise and number of cars in the neighborhood. According to police, a melee broke out when the manager of the complex started to set up for the event just before 7 a.m. Saturday morning. Several individuals were sprayed with Mace by police and treated at the scene by emergency crews. Police did not report making any arrests. Apparently being sprayed with Mace was its own reward... |

| #6 Looks like The Heritage may be getting a new name soon. Something like Little Mogadishu or Somaliatown... |

| #4 It looks like a lot of refugees that have been continuously relocated in Columbus. Queuing is not a universal/natural trait. Listen to the narrative about the number of cars which filled the parking lot and flooded over to the residential streets. Only in America, the 'poor' have cars by the boatload. |

| #3 Police warnings and instructions apparently went unheeded and chemicals were used. Strangely (to some possibly) no arrests were made. Civility whilst queuing up will be the first thing to go. I believe I read it here over a year ago. Special note: Save the video Kashandra, there may be some future disability benefit(s) to victims of racist police, chemical usage. |
