Gunman shatters Greyhound bus windows in Cleveland; passengers injured - Metro - cleveland.com

Even people leaving Cleveland in greyhound buses are being shot at.

"If the driver had been going a half mile-an-hour faster, I'd have been shot in the head," Miller said. "I'll never come to Cleveland again."

Great just what we need, more people leaving and never coming to Cleveland. This is not good for the city at all.

LoL! I couldn't help but laugh at his quote.

TICKETS, I said show me your g-damn ticket!

And that comment, though I can't be sure why.

Just south of Oakland, we have a couple of similar numnuts who have been shooting bb's into speeding cars on 880N/S late at night each night. What provokes this type of idiocy?

I'd argue that that type of crap can happen anywhere. It has more to do with the lunacy of one deranged individual than anything that has to do with the city. The D.C. sniper immediately comes to mind. Is that region of our country now a less desirable place to live?

Columbus had an I-270 sniper for months. Hopefully this will be an isolated incident and won't become a trend.

You should have posted a link if you were going to quote. In any case, people always make excuses for Blacks, but they never pan out.

In regards to shooting at bus windows, people do things like that, because they are wicked.

The quote was from the same website you linked to, as I stated. There was no need to repost the link. Noone is making excuses for "Blacks". The problem is that you view "Blacks" as some sort of organization, rather than people as individuals.

Geez, Chef, didn't those "Blacks" get the organization newsletter that they're supposed to increase violence rather than quell it? And what is with letting a couple "Whites" in?

I know plenty of people on both sides of the racial divide helping to keep the status quo, and plenty trying to make things better. The world isn't all black and white, good and evil, cut and dry as you make it out to be.

In regards to the quote, it's a big website. As to the rest, Generalizations Do Not = Bad.
