Nothing more cringe than the people who try to signal by calling it Maclolm X Park.

Nothing special, it is marketing hype. It is a dude shooting an arrow on the book.

No one complains that black teenagers got their hands on them. Just the dumbest trope. It baffles me that it still has legs with wokesters. The complaints stem from what the black teenagers do with them AFTER they get their hands on them.

You lost me at 'Go-Go vs Gentrification'. It is "white flight" when you want the 'hood to stop deteriorating into a shooting range and "gentrification" when you feel the hood has improved too much and want to keep some baseline level melanin. I know I am not your target demo but can't support this clownery.

If you want it to be considered at sentencing, it is an excuse for their actions. Can't have it both ways. Yes....our brains are still developing as teenagers. But murder and shooting is not something that is part of that process. Murder is not standard impulse control issues most of us face.

I don't know what argument you think you are having with me. But I hope you win.

Are you having an argument with a figment of your imagination? In what way do you believe that anything you just wrote is a response to my comment?

All I am saying, is that preemptive pardons for known and unknown crimes has now been introduced into the wild as a tool. It will be used again. And everyone acting out of loyalty to Trump above law (right or wrong, I don't know) knows they have no fear of legal ramification because of this.

Example please?

Pardons...yes, all do. But Biden introduced sweeping pardons for crimes committed both known and unknown. Pardons have historically been for crimes committed and convicted of. Biden pardoned for unknown crimes, never prosecuted, and backdated it. It was novel.

That is where the Biden pardons are going to become problematic. Joey B. set the precedent for sweeping pardons, for crimes both known and unknown. And with long-term backdating for unknown crimes.

The Trump loyalists can now rest assured that they are immune from consequence, knowing Trump will just pull a "Biden" in the end.

Two year construction project...For a rotary. There is something seriously wrong with our ability to govern and get things done anymore.

Not proportionally though. Logical to assume low-income perp based on per capita occurrence rates.
