What's new on the local scene you ask? This city is
growing, it's getting a little crowded. The budget for
social services is seriously groaning. The police budget
is growing spurring agitation from communities
claiming racial harassment raising banners to defund
the police. Shootings and deaths on a steady rise. The
latest two 16-year-olds; score one dead one struggling
to live. Local residents need not fear the police chief says.
This was a targeted hit. You know, criminal disputes.
Street gangs, moving drugs and illicit weapons. So
nothing to worry about. The residents living in their
crowded assisted housing can breathe a sigh of relief.
They're not targets, just those who live among them
like the two 16-year-olds. The dead boy an aspiring
rap artist, beloved by all. Such a nice kid, friendly
to everyone, kind and gentle. Someone wasn't thinking
kind and gentle when he was targeted. Not a word
from the Black Lives Matter folks. Makes sense;
black lives matter when the instrument of death is
white; when it's black, it's just people in disagreement
working out their frustrations. Don't get in the way.
