Juneteenth holiday horror

The real problem is tho.... there may not really be a conflict. There is a perceived wrong-doing which may not be more than a glance, and the retaliation is extreme violence. Gotta protect those street creds.

Just sneakin' around....
The easy way to disperse these things is to simply shut down the cell phone towers nearby.
That's such an obvious solution that is never considered.

"Street" is operative word here. Were it just a parking lot, sure, but they spill over onto the road, and if you see the videos of the behavior it has no relation to Cars & Coffee or what you will find in Lancaster today. If I had a business I would be locking the doors. Just as likely to get looted as patronized.

Do the people that gather at these places go there to get shot?

Now: Let me explain. It's a holiday weekend and there is a large group of people gathering in a black neighborhood.
There is some drinking and partying and of course the chances are good in Chicago or some other Democrat city that there will be some shooting.

It would stand to reason that anyone who did not want to get shot would stay the hell away from such a place. Yet they don't.
THEY cannot help it,its in their blood

Every Sunday - mostly - in front of Hobby Lobby, which is closed on Sundays - a bunch of car enthusiasts have a little show. It's a lot of people.
I'm sure they have "permission". Saturdays, in the lot of BAE - there is often but not always, a farmer's market. I am also sure - they have permission.

If you go down to Lancaster Park - TODAY - I'm betting you will see huge crowds of people celebrating and having picnics and games and so on.

I am betting they do NOT have any kind of permission - but they're also not hurting anyone. It's a public park.

I suspect "illegal takeovers" like this happen A LOT all over the country, but as long as they're not hurting anyone, people just let it go. I mean, let's for the sake of argument say there are pizza places and liquor stores in the plaza - you might actually WELCOME a party crowd in your parking lot, even if you didn't give your permission.
Farmers Market in front of BAE is NOT an illegal takeover. They rent the lot from BAE.

Have watched the evolution of this over my lifetime. Fist fights, with a rare occurance of a knife; then knife fights; and now guns are the preferred tool for conflict resolution.
Back in the 1960s, only the bona fide gangsters had pistols. Wanna be thugs didn't have access to them nor the funds to purchase them.

Then once crime got worse in America, more people legally purchased self protection firearms. Many of those guns were stolen in home burglaries. How many break ins have occurred in the last 60 years? And how many of those yielded firearms? Now the streets are full on once legally owned, illegal firearms. And there are so many, the price is relatively inexpensive. Of course, nothing stolen is ever sold at it's true value.

So $200 gets you a 9 that has probably had 6 previous owners. And it has never been cared for nor properly cleaned & oiled. The only range time this pistol sees is when the owner puts it on the stove when emptying her pockets.

Imagine the carnage if hand grenades become readily available on the black market?

I remember a few years ago an illegal street takeover in Waldorf resulted in a street racer going through a crowd of people.
