#1 "Residents say"

BP says it's all about the entitlement complex that builds up from a lifetime of handouts.

#2 Some of the mayoral candidates, including the current mayor spent a night in the Lincoln housing projects, vowing to make conditions better for the residents

Why do I get the feeling that the 'candidates' were safely escorted and protected by a troop of fully armed bodyguards?

#3 "Just to see people I know passed away....I hear a lot of gun shots, violence due to drugs" the teen told us.

Yes K'shonna, "passing away" oftentimes results from sucking chest wounds and traumatic brein injuring due to flying lead.

#4 Why do I get the feeling that the 'candidates' were safely escorted and protected by a troop of fully armed bodyguards?

I often wonder what politics would look like without a Praetorian Guard.

Thought of the day

#7 It was here on the 'Burg a few years back that I read another poster's comment that sums up my feelings on this one:

"I stopped being so sympathetic about blacks when I saw a Vietnamese-American kid who'd escaped Vietnam in a leaky boat 12 years before, graduating as class valedictorian from the Air Force Academy."

#8 The left has created a complete society of entitled victims. They are not willing to work hard or try. They show over and over that they are resourceful and work hard at being in gangs and in the making and selling of drugs. Seems to me they have no desire to leave the comfort of the projects and try to make a difference in their lives...

#10 "I stopped being so sympathetic about blacks when I saw a Vietnamese-American kid who'd escaped Vietnam in a leaky boat 12 years before, graduating as class valedictorian from the Air Force Academy."

Which is why Asians are classed as "white" in California's higher education system.

#12 If you gamble on crime to get paid,
Better not let it go to your head.
Thug life can be ducky
But if you get lucky
You might find yourself gettin' lead.
