That area has gone so far downhill over the last 30 years. Grew up less than a mile from where this shooting occurred plus owned a house within a mile also. Saw this coming and thats when I sold and moved to SOMD 30 years ago.

Michelle obama claims that you are part of the problem. White folks that move out once the neighborhood gets overly diverse.

“There were no gang fights, there were no territorial battles. Yet one by one, they packed their bags and they ran from us,” she said at the event. “And they left communities in shambles.”

Funny how the absence of Caucasians caused a community to fall into ruin. So can it be inferred that the people that moved in ruined things?

Regardless, I laugh at the mooch. You have to search high & low to find anything that is improved by the subtraction of Caucasians +/or the addition of select minorities.

yeah, BUT...when some lived there, Bobby Rydell was playing road shows at the Seabrook Skating rink. A pack of Marlboros in the visor, a 58 Mercury Turnpike cruiser with curb feelers were the "hot" stuff.

The school was called Dooooo Val. Thats how you can spot some guys from back then...
