    I was driving through this area at about 7:20. Lots of police presence, northbound lanes completely closed, and lots of markers on shell casings.

    Too close to home. I shouldn't be surprised though since my nieghbors think it's ok to shoot guns into the ground on the back side of the apartment building. Moved from 71st and Michigan area to Perry Township thinking it would be a safer area and it definitely isn't. Nothing like a five yearold picking up a shell casing just walking to the van....

    I've avoid Greenwood like the plague and have for about a decade now.

    It was clear things were going to be getting bad sooner or later even back then.
    At the rate things are going, it's not going to surprise me if this kind of stuff starts showing up in northern Mooresville.

    Need to bring back public hanging, firing squads, and flogging, and this **** will start to get less common.

    Brother all of that stopped when the feminazi's chased the Marlborro man off the ranch and into the sunset. We have been emasculated by the left and all of the half men on the right who's wives keep their packages in their purse.
    The new way is hope and change and I can only hope this will change but you and I both know it will not. We are in to deep to turn back now. You called it. As did I when CKW wanted kids. I saw this in the works in the 80's. Subtle changes everywhere you looked. Then the PC mind numbing was forced upon us and all the no balls girlie men had a weapon as did the culture warriors when they invented the RACE CARD. We were well on our way to at least some level of equality but then this sack of snakes was handed to us and now it is shameful to be white.

    Way to much :bs: piled on to dig out from under. Our ideals are being shouted down in the madness.

    Our ideals are being shouted down in the madness.

    THIS ^^^ sums up the problem in one sentence, perfectly. There is a vocal minority of people screaming, most of us know to keep our mouths shut or get cancelled, and they're making excuses for the lawless behavior, blaming capitalism, systemic racism, poverty, everything EXCEPT the people actually committing the crimes.

    This also plays into the hands of the gun control crowd. ZOMG! Violence coming to the suburbs! We have to do something! It's for the children! Won't anyone think of the children? So, the legislature ends up "doing something."

    What are the odds the shooter was already a prohibited person under federal law?

    They say this probably wasn't a random event.

    And there are some REAL sketchy apartment complexes not too terribly far from this spot.

    I also believe there was a shooting in the Buffalo Creek apartments, too. Generally speaking, they're NOT sketchy. That's just another 1.5 miles south (and where I used to live).

    I live in N.W. Johnson county about 6 miles as the crow flies from the area of the shooting. This week on the site Nextdoor there was 2 reports of "large cat " sighting 1 mile from our house. So now I watch the back yard for mountain lions and the street for rolling shooters while trying to dodge covid, man I am stressed!

    In the words of Bill Lind...
    "Following World War I, European Marxists faced a difficult question: why did the proletariat throughout Europe not rise in revolution and establish a new, Marxist order, as their ideology said it would? Two prominent Marxist thinkers, Antonio Gramsci in Italy and Georg Lukács in Hungary, came up with an answer: Western culture. Western culture so blinded the workers to their true, ‘class’ interests that they could not act on them. So before socialism could come to power, Western culture had to be destroyed. Lukacs in 1919 posed the question, ‘Who will save us from Western civilization?’ …

    In 1923, Lukacs and a group of German Marxist intellectuals founded a ‘think tank’ intended to translate Marxism from economic into cultural terms, the Institute for Social Research at Frankfurt University. The Institute quickly became known as the Frankfurt School. In 1933, when the National Socialists came to power in Germany, the Frankfurt School moved to New York City.

    There, its key figures—Theodor Adorno, Erich Fromm and Wilhelm Reich—developed ‘critical theory,’ a crossing of Marx with Freud that labeled the key components of Western culture ‘prejudice,’ i.e., a psychological disease. The ‘critical theorist’ argues that to eliminate ‘prejudice,’ Christianity, capitalism and the traditional ‘patriarchal’ family all had to be destroyed."

    The man is a national treasure.
    In days long gone by loved watching his TV show "Modern War" when we had the big satellite dish and got good stuff from everywhere.

    Ever read his book "Victoria" ?
    You'll be guffawing like the Scottish publisher in The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.

    Darn, after getting a cup of coffee realized I didn't post this where I intended to. But that's OK because it pertains equally to why the culture has slid so far downhill as to have people shooting each other.

    They may shout down our ideals.
    Let muzzle blast turn their shouts to howls of pain.

    In too deep for a polite fix.
    Maybe the Chinese will develop a covid that kills only liberals.
