Northwest Indiana Discussion

Just when you thought you have seen it all then you get a jaw dropper. Me and the wife were out yesterday on the 3rd of the month and usually certain corners have people begging on them and they have always been Black.

Not yesterday all the corners were swamped by White people with their children trying to sell roses for what ever they could get.

I saw one guy with his daughter less than 5 years old I bet he was making a killing.

I-65 is hopelessly always backed up on rush hour and Broadway in Gary is bumper to bumper and at ridge and Broadway the peddlers and beggars are everywhere also at 35th & Grant near the village shopping center.

You know that's a cult, right?

No I did not Know !

I wasn't there so I can't say for certain but yes there have been cults that use selling flowers by the brainwashed to keep the gravy train coming.

As you say yourself not too many whites are likely to parade around Gary street corners like that which makes this the first thing that comes to mind. But I guess I could be wrong.

But here's the better question. If there's any real money to be made at it why haven't some Gary residents tried to do the same?

I don't buy nothin' in the street. I am very opposed to the practice because I fear someone will get into an accident. And it does interfere with traffic flow. At the exists of parking lots fine. But anyone out in traffic too bad. I do my best to discourage other drivers from this dangerous thing.

The street & parking lot peddling is increasing I'm afraid it will lead to violence for turf there are peddlers selling everything from shoes to beds in a bag and linens and things of good quality and cheaper than the Merchants that they have set up camp by.

They lay in wait and ambush the potential customers of certain merchants.

It is a very lucrative on the 3rd of the month.

That requires getting out of bed in the morning, leaving the house, and then actually performing some type of labor in exchange for money.

There was this guy named ''Dwyte''?...he demanded a job at the new factory in his neighborhood simply because it was in his neighborhood.

Didn't matter if he had the skills or not. He concluded he should get first crack at the factory and he wanted to make the same money as the guy who had 30 years experience.

The company that owns factory BOUGHT THE PROPERTY with their own money, BUILT THE FACTORY with their own money, which by the way ''Dwyte'' demanded he be hired on the construction company because it was in his neighborhood...this was prior to demanding the factory hire him because it was in his neighborhood.

Didn't matter if he had the skills or not. He concluded he should get first crack at the construction company and he wanted to make the same money as the guy who had 30 years experience did.

The company that owns construction company that built the factory that BOUGHT THE PROPERTY with their own money, BUILT THE FACTORY with their own money they got from the factory's company, which by the way ''Dwyte'' demanded he be hired on ....

well...



well you know where this going.....

skill....seniority...

these things mean nothing to him...

gimme gimme gimme

Dear Employees,

Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown in the
economy, Management has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of
40 years of age and above on early retirement. This scheme will be known
as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).

Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to management to be considered
for the SHAFT scheme (Special Help After Forced Termination) .

Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW
program (Scheme Covering Retired-Early Workers)

A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as
Management deems appropriate. Persons who have been RAPED could get AIDS
(Additional Income for Dependants & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for
Retired Personnel Early Severance).

Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED
any further by Management.

Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much SH!T
(Special High Intensity Training) as possible. Management has always
prided itself on the amount of SH!T it gives employees. Should you feel
that you do not receive enough s***, please bring this to the attention
of your Supervisor, who has been trained to give you all the s*** you
can handle.

Sincerely,

Management

P.S. Due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas
and oil, as well as current market conditions, the Light at the End of
the Tunnel has been turned off

Spurned by wife, man kills his five children, self

SEATTLE, Washington (AFP) — A Washington state man shot and killed his five children, between the ages of seven and 16, then turned the gun on himself after his wife told him she was leaving him, in the third US mass shooting since Friday.

James Harrison, 34, killed his children early Saturday inside his mobile home in Graham, 100 kilometers (65 miles) south of Seattle, then drove to a nearby casino and shot himself inside his car, Pierce County sheriff Paul Pastor told reporters.

Harrison on Friday looked for his missing wife and found her at a convenience store with another man. The woman said she was leaving Harrison to be with her new boyfriend.

Alerted by neighbors, police Saturday morning found the five children dead, some shot several times, inside the mobile home's bedrooms and one inside the bathroom. Harrison was found inside his car, the engine still running, with a rifle shot to the head.

Pastor described the crime scene Sunday as a "horrible thing."

"This was not a tragedy. It was a rotten murder," Pastor said. "This appears to be the terrible work of the biological father. If that doesn't break your heart, I don't know what does."

The murders mark the latest spasm of gun violence in the United States which has been rocked by six fatal mass shootings in the past three weeks, including three cops killed Saturday by a 23-year-old man at his home in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The Pittsburgh attack came a day after a recently unemployed man stormed an immigrant services center where he had been learning English in Binghamton, New York and went on a murderous rampage, killing 13 people before taking his own life.

On March 29, a heavily armed gunman shot dead eight people at a North Carolina nursing home, days after six people were killed in an apparent murder-suicide in an upscale neighborhood in northern California's Silicon Valley.'

And on March 10, an unemployed man killed his mother, grandmother and eight others on a vicious shooting rampage in Alabama.

Criminologist Jack Levin, of Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, said there appears to be a link between the failing US economy and a rising body count.

"A mass killer is someone who has almost always suffered a catastrophic loss -- that's the link between a recession and mass killings," he said, citing the loss of a job, money or a relationship.

"Catastrophic losses serve as inspiration, or precipitant," he told AFP.

If only more people had guns to defend themselves instead of listening to the liberals.

There are a lot of gun toting liberals and they are killing themselves and their families .

Oh no. I'm sure the boob tube said only wacko conservatives and other criminals carry guns.

Forty-seven people were killed in mass murders in the US in less than 30 days this year. Everyone is looking for reasons and to make sense of these tragic events because we all cope better with catastrophic events if we can make some sense of them or find safety for ourselves and our loved ones. Otherwise, terrible events seem out of control, overwhelming, and terrifying. We must study and understand mass murders to prevent future ones from happening. Research shows that there is not one thing that pushes a person over the edge into violence and murder, but multiple risk factors and stressors and few or ineffective coping skills.

If someone feels she is chronically treated as inferior, she can believe she has no value, can be disconnected from people, and may be fueled by a growing rage against those who have treated her badly. This can happen at various developmental stages in life. In infancy, it leads to problems in attachment, which can be a factor in child development of communication, personal and interpersonal skills. Attachment problems are associated with many forms of later violence and murder. Children can be traumatized in early childhood by abuse and neglect and exposure to domestic or community violence. Adolescents can have an exaggerated striving for independence when rejected by peers, bullied, failing in school, and or rejected by family. In adulthood, someone who is unsuccessful in moving toward a partner relationship, has conflicted relationships, is unsuccessful at work or loses his or her job, can feel he is inferior to others. This rejection (called recognition denial) can be associated with anger, rage, and lack of strong attachment bonds to family, school, work, or community. It has been associated with violence and murder in a study by Timothy Brezina (2008).

What happens if someone is rejected as a child by an abusive family and rejected by peers because of bullying or because he is different and has difficulty maintaining employment as an adult? If he feels that he is being treated as inferior, recognition denial and rage can take place. Some examples readily come to mind: Mass Murderers, Seng-Hui Cho, the Unibomber, the Columbine shooters, and Golden and Andrews. More recently, it is alleged that Jiverly Wong killed 14 in NY. It is reported that he had been fired from his job, was depressed, and felt people made fun of him because he did not speak English well. Seng-Hui Cho had trouble communicating, had obvious mental health problems from an early age, and thought people made fun of him. He killed 32 and wounded 25 at Virginia Tech. James Harrison allegedly murdered his 5 children and then himself following a fight with his wife, in which she left him. Child Protective services had been called several times to this home due to the father’s yelling and screaming at the children. It appears that all of these mass murderers felt they were treated as inferior, had major stressors and ineffective coping skills. Additionally, there were signs of trouble long before these terrible events took place.

Violence occurs when risk factors are many, resiliency factors are few and/or stressors exceed one’s ability to cope. There are many combinations of risk and resiliency factors, as well as stressors and coping skills (or lack thereof) that can lead to violence. In these difficult economic times, losing a job is a huge stressor for most. For those with multiple stressors whose coping is compromised, it can be overwhelming. If violence was modeled by the person’s childhood caregivers as a way to solve problems and control others, the results can be horrific. Every mounting stressor pushes the person to the tipping point. Are they to be excused? Is there no accountability? Not at all, we have a criminal justice system for that. But while they are under the direction of the Court, multiple resources are needed to keep such violence from happening again. Unless something changes within the person, it is likely that violence will happen again.

Good coping skills are essential to avoiding using violence as a way to deal with problems.
