Only if their SDs are matching up to their town names.


Don't get me started about ZIP codes....

Damn Canadians!

Looks like 'young people' caused lots of problems this past weekend.

Apparently there were large scale civil disturbances in several big cities over Memorial Day Weekend. It seems like it's being covered up to a degree though.

- Charlotte, NC
- Rochester NY
- Long Beach NY
- Chicago IL
- Boston MA
- Miami Beach FL

I think Drudge reported on a few more as well.

We can't identify them as minorities or racism will be cried out by the guilty liberals.

Even though they made up the vast majority of the troublemakers the past weekend?

The libs call me a racist then I will wear it as a badge of honor. I say it how it is. Just look at the Youtube videos of the riots in Boston, Rochester, and Charlotte .... majority Black and/or Hispanic.

A friend of mine was in the west end last weekend and said that it was "Senior Day" last
Friday and the beach was loaded with high schoolers. Also with gas prices and the economy in general, some say it was the most crowded Memorial day in 15 years.
No injuries reported. Sounds like a lot of teenage testosterone but nothing too serious.















sounds

It's amazing how 300,000 white people can get together for a day of fun and drinking at the Indy 500 with minimal incident, yet when you get more than 10 minorities in one place it turns into a riot.

There is no Long Beach, Indiana.

They don't realize what they are missing out on.
