It only ensures that nobody but attendees to Black Expo will bother to enter the downtown. Move it to the state fairgrounds if the event is that important to them.Gary R.

And doing and saying what others won't for fear of not being politically correct or insensitive. <br /><br />I also think the idea of a "safe zone" won't work either. Because if there is a 5 block area safe zone, the bangers will be 6 blocks out. If it were increased to 10 blocks, they would just move to 11 blocks. <br /><br />Its a tit-for-tat situation that needs to start at home. But seeing as how a number of parents just don't care, if going to be a tough road.Slipdischttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04415189471783478629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-29028056729817047322010-07-19T15:01:19.782-05:002010-07-19T15:01:19.782-05:00Straub and Ballard want to take away our guns.

Straub has been pusing that socialist agenda for years and could not get it done in NYC.<br /><br />As for Ballard, he's not smart enough to know which end the bullets come out.<br /><br />Fopr Mayor Dum Dum to say that his has noting to do with IBE is just more of his stupidity. <br /><br />I watched him on the TV interviews, he was not able to complete one sentance wiht out a stumble. He is more of an embarrisment than the gangstas. But then again he is Tom Johns mouth piece, so what do you expect.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05775838756789417151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-80465713454870495712010-07-19T13:54:25.478-05:002010-07-19T13:54:25.478-05:00Well one might wonder what the NFL is thinking now...Well one might wonder what the NFL is thinking now with AK 47's in kids hands only a few blocks away from the grand arena for the Superbowl.<br /><br />Governor Daniels, Mayor Ballard, Prosecutor Brizzi, the FBI and others....clean up your mess! Start with your white collar slimy friends that have smiled down upon the citizens of Indiana while they gorge themselves in stealing and confidence games with state and local officials of pay to play, self dealing, contracts self written and handed out like candy and then you all stand around and expect the children of your society to do as I say and not as I do!<br /><br />Prosecute your ADULT friends and then maybe the children of your generation will begin to attain some respect in leadership by example.<br /><br />Frauds of hundreds of millions of dollars, hardworking citizens losing their retirements and good people out of work because of the elitist attitudes in Indiana should wake some people up.<br /><br />I don't think too many people will come to your "Superbowl" if Indianapolis is a cess pool.<br /><br />Look out your windows officials and government leaders and ask yourself if Indianapolis and Indiana is a better place because of your last back room deal or taking care of a good ole boy friend for a few extra dollars.<br /><br />The pursuit of life, liberty and happiness is in question right now in your fair city.<br /><br />Shame on all of you!I knowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14837535454387104930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-13913777043732967732010-07-19T11:20:27.411-05:002010-07-19T11:20:27.411-05:00(An initial count of) nine kids shot on Saturday n...(An initial count of) nine kids shot on Saturday night rated page 14 of the Indianapolis Star on Sunday morning; not happening too late to get NO coverage- page 14 coverage. <br /><br />I think the local news 'copter pilot must moonlight making editorial decisions for the Star.dcrutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12856825454020971907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-66994768216336678032010-07-19T10:36:17.887-05:002010-07-19T10:36:17.887-05:00Also missing from the discussion was a story repor...Also missing from the discussion was a story reported last Friday on Channel 6 that because of the Brandon Johnson case, officers are finding that people are trying to egg them on to get a future payoff for possible brutality charges.
