Well, one thing is certain. This neighborhood will be far worse off than it was 48 hours ago, when the sun rises.
A bank, an auto parts store, a beauty supply store, a gas station-- all of which will most likely not rebuild and come back to that area.
I wonder how the residents will handle this turmoil?
Will they turn in the ones who are responsible for the 6 homicides and 9 shootings in the last 24 hours? Will they turn in the ones responsible for the rioting today and tonight? Will they "peacefully protest" the violence by their "citizens" in their neighborhood in the past 24 hours? Will they protest against the violence targeting the police who were trying to keep the peace? Will they march in the streets protesting the "civilian" violence that caused 9 shootings and 6 homicides in the past 24 hours? Will they protest the riots that have further destroyed their neighborhood? Or will they protest the police, trying to keep the peace, and calm/ control/ disperse the rioters. Will they protest against the firefighters, who could not respond to the many fires, because of protracted gunfire and unsafe conditions by the rioters?
Or will they "protest" the almost certainly justified shooting of a career criminal who engaged an officer, with a stolen gun?
Hmmm. I think I know the answer.
