Whenever I see the headline about parties, rooftops etc. I expect to see at least twenty comments and smile.<br /><br />Tons of comments about murder usually don't happen because it more often than not opens up some random heartless scumbag to say something dumb. What can or should be said about a murder? It's sad, it's depressing, and it's in poor taste to speculate - even poorer taste to make a joke or cast blame on the victim.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-69395543296468795062016-06-23T18:40:15.406-04:002016-06-23T18:40:15.406-04:00I never said that you can only have one problem at...I never said that you can only have one problem at a time. But in terms of priorities and focus, it seems as if two dead black men within the past few months seems like it generates a hell of a lot less interest, comment and concern than a rooftop bar in a different neighborhood. To me, a rise in murders seems to be a bigger issue than Santacon. I believe that I am quite logical in that regard. How many dead black men does there need to be until this is as important as Santacon? Where are the community groups that can't get themselves heard loudly enough over whenever the inconvenience of Santacon threatens to show up? Where are the block associations of NIMBYS and busybodies now that there is a real problem?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-53350933944194962832016-06-23T14:41:26.924-04:002016-06-23T14:41:26.924-04:00@2:21pm: You're comparing apples and oranges, ...@2:21pm: You're comparing apples and oranges, and you're illogical.
