So let's see which way this one goes. Terrorist, Gang related or BLM.
I heard only 1 had died; I guess you got an update and apparently it was gang related or so the news said. I guess, if nothing else it is a relief to know it wasn't a terrorist attack. That is not any consolation for those involved I realize.
People who are so sick of the Obama/Hillary legacy of Lies and Hypocrisy. He may be worse, but it is yet to be proven. Obama/Hillary on the other hand have already proven how bad they are, from deposing Qaddafi, and trying to depose Assad, to every lie they have told us over the last 1/2 years.
There isn't even a past president that supports the Trump candidacy. That should be telling... Republicans and Democrats alike...
Someone who doesn't want to be disarmed by Clinton.
Look at from this angle, with the wonderful people we have running to be leader, with bad cops shooting people and dogs for no reason, does one really want to give up their guns so those people are the only ones with the guns?
Maybe Trump would take the guns, too!...................but Clinton has clearly stated a few times that such is her plan.
It's more likely you'll do something (get a felony) that bars you from owning a gun than a president Clinton disarming you. Threats of Democrats taking away your guns is a strategy used by conservative elites to get their base emotionally charged so they don't use critical thinking skills... Tending to the herd...
Fort Myers is a huge area.. and many different sections of town.. good parts , bad parts.. some is quite beautiful. I live not in Fort Myers but another large town in the area.. I don't believe I have even seen all of Fort Myers.. it is huuuuge..
The local news is not saying who did what and why..
It is terrible someone had to shoot it up there.. I think they shot from the outside of the building in.. but not sure.. Some of the kids were young. The world is going crazy! They didn't even mention who died .. the said two died but nothing else.
Sad day.....this should not happen ...I hope they get who did this atrocity. I wish they had fist fights like in the days before guns..no carnage. No murders. Just a black eye or a sore lip.
There isn't even a past president that supports the Trump candidacy. That should be telling... Republicans and Democrats alike...
Not really.
What we need to know are the reasons why they don't support him.
Take Bush the II, for instance. He won't criticize a sitting President because he knows how hard that job is having been there himself. Hence, there may be a similar reason for him on this issue in that he, hypothetically, believes he should live in quiet retirement and not try to influence the course of the country.

Seeing how a few weeks ago, the Democrats were trying to push bills through to remove people's rights without due process of law..............how bad can the Republicans be?
11/100 " most dangerous cities" are in Florida according to Neighborhood Scout which unlike most data points, evaluates crime in cities with a population of 25,000 or more whereas other sources tend to ignore crime in cities with fewer than 100,000.

3 of the top 10 are in Michigan. No Florida cities in the top 10
2 of the top 20 are in California. Still no Florida
I live in Ft Myers, and this Club is in a not good area and patronized by blacks, primarily. It will not have anything to do with terrorists, but simply black on black crime.
The BLM folks need to take a look at who is really killing their young and old. Until they say enough is enough, and mean it, this is only going to get worse. I will be anxious to see how many marches and protests come out of this........I bet NONE.

I live in Naples and all I ever hear on WINK News is about shootings in Ft. Myers. Yes, probably gang or drug related. Years ago, all that was ever on the local news was about shootings, drug busts, grow houses, in Golden Gate. Pretty quiet there now.
What makes this more national news worthy is that it involved teenagers who were shot in a club, and not on the streets.
First they believe in order as it relates to Gender, the Male is the Lead, this has not changed in a 1000 yrs. What has change is the woman has more respect and in many respects gained equality, but when it comes to the gender of relationship as to man and woman, the woman defers to the male as being the lead. They don't have a confusion about that.
Asian cultures is not a system of society where anyone does anything at any time. They have a set of social norms that is generationally transferred instinctively in their daily living, by having a "sense of duty", which means they look at the function and purpose of what is to become the act of choice. or the choice to act or not act. We go on impulse and become dare devils and meet many perils and promote the risk peril more than a sound principle and principle based act. Asian culture is more closely associated to the core essence of African culture in terms of how legacy was once regarded in and among African people, Therefore much is in common with people from the Asiatic and African continents.
It's been muddled by the push of Anglo concepts of superiority that put color scales that became the makings of racism by skin tone, this was promoted for centuries both across cultures and within cultures as well. Thereore it is up to these generations to take the sliding scale of skin tone out of the mix, then we can re-learn as a world and societies of making the value of Legacy.
This link of understanding, respect and value of what is Legacy was lost during the brutality of slavery, when all cultural. reminiscences were denied and beat out of people by vile means. It's a sense of respect for building and rebuilding a sense of Legacy that black people must pursue. Therefore, this is something we can learn from Asian people, because their Legacy was not broken in the ways that blame people have been broken not only around the world where slavery existed, but it was broken when the trade of slaves devastated the systems of culture in Africa.
THEREFORE, we must re-learn to think in terms to respect "legacy", WE have become lost to the concept of legacy and its value. It's go for the gusto of the moment, and when time spins, we have built no legacy and squanders much in many ways.
They are proud and happy to be Chinese, or Japanese of Filipino or Cambodian or what ever their heritage is. That means there is a sense of stability in cultural continuity of heritage. When they blend and mix they do so with a sense to build and connect heritage, for the sake of Legacy.
Unfortunate for black people the concept of Legacy was damaged, by the system of slavery. Therefore we are killing each other without regard or respect for Legacy. We have gone to the legacy violence against each other, and gangs of madness, and forgot about cultural heritage and legacy of humane cultural ethnicity.
No group of people is better than another, they simply do and approach things different, but it does matter when a group loose concern for Legacy. They group become war like upon and against its own members.
