I'm thinking it's too bad that it can't be discussed without the predictable suburb bashing.

And if you know anything about that area, like one poster said already, that area has not been good for a while now.

OP is pretty adamant about his/her view about suburbs in general and is attempting to draw a correlation between one incident and a "growing" trend related to living outside the loop. This thread was not opened to discuss the occurrence, but rather to make broad sweeping generalizations about why areas outside the loop aren't "the perfect white middle/upper middle class areas that they used to be."

It would be equally preposterous of me to say, when a crime is committed ITL, "Oh, looks like ITL isn't as good as Friends made it out to be."

It is a shame people lost their lives, but this is not the first black party to be advertised via social media where people get killed.

yeah one of those thugs turned out to be innocent and many came forth to credit him as a hero for trying to help get people out and for taking people to the ER.

which means if X had not help this(young man) he would be in jail for a crime he did not comment
But it 979 Texan so

Right! HCSO is admittedly bungling this case. Makes you wonder what else is going wrong within that organization. There are supposedly more shooters being sought after, but HCSO is not instilling faith in me that they are competent enough to find any addtional perps.

The fact remains these kids were idiots who partied with gangsters, family member had to gun check the guests and this was advertised on social media beforehand. Recipe for disaster just like the "Party X" inspired event last year that ended in death.

It certainly appears as though the young man realized was doing the right thing, but do you really believe his release was strictly due to the efforts of Q to the 10? If so, I'd like to know how. Did he provide some video footage from his secret spy cam?

My guess is that there were a lot of conflicting reports due to the number of people and confusion. You can view it as right or wrong, but the police probably figured it was safer to arrest him and then determine all the facts than to not arrest him and something else were to happen.

Since the cops didn't essentially arrest every male at the party, something directed them to the two that were arrested. Once they were in custody, people probably came forward and gave more information that cleared this man. Q to the 10 may have sped up the process, but I'd bet money he would have been released pretty quick.

Just my opinion.

I wonder if home owners of more expensive homes won't use this as justification for opposing the development of nearby subdivisions with sub-$150K homes, especially in the same school zone. I've heard stories that such homeowners even claim that local government should somehow prevent entry-level subdivisions, because it's "unfair to us." Just like they oppose apartments.

"Isolate or integrate" the different income levels is often debated. Comes down to what the high income residents feel is best for their famililes vs what seems to be best for the broader community/society. Section 8 vouchers, vs public housing, is an attempt to counter isolation at the low end.

It came about from him talking to a community that has little faith or truth in cops..it came about by him convincing people who otherwise didnt want to get
Involed that that young man bravery should not be rewarded with silence..he went into the community and found pepple willing to do the right thing..even if it
means crossing gangs
