Police say among the eight people shot were three adults and five minors. An 18-year-old woman and a 30-year-old man remain in stable condition while a 20-year-old man is in critical condition, the Miami Herald reports. (more)
MIAMI – 7News reporter Ann Keil and photographers were about 100 feet away from the scene of the shooting, along Northwest 32nd Avenue and Northwest 62nd Street. They heard between four and six shots. Moments later, the news crew saw displaced children crying after losing their parents when a stampede of attendees ran away from the scene in search of safety.
Around 4 p.m., several law enforcement agencies and fire rescue vehicles were seen flooding the area. They have since cleared the entire area and have ordered everyone, including vendors, to flee the area. According to Keil, at least two women looked like they had been shot in the leg. Moments later, a man was seen on the floor in handcuffs. (read more)

Lewis is not the only civil rights activist with scars. The only reason people know of Lewis as an activist is because he is in Congress. I am not surprise with Lewis remarks of Trump. It is what Lewis does best. Lewis would have “NEVER” won the 5th district in Georgia from Julian Bond, had Lewis not made remarks that hit his fellow civil rights soldier brother below the belt, to expose Bond’s demons. Instead of pulling Bond into privacy to show concern for Bond’s demons, he chose to run against Bond. During the televised debate between the two, Lewis challenged Bond to a “Pee Test”. Lewis created a daily televised black political soap opera for the media. This ended Bond’s political career in Atlanta. Lewis disrespected his fellow civil right brother; at the time, Bond was the most prominent civil right leader behind MLK, Jr. Why one would think that Lewis would be more respectful of Trump than Bond?
I grew up in the 5th district and still live in Lewis district. Almost Lewis entire career, most of the black areas was impoverished and crime infested. I agree with Trump.Lewis only accomplishment was his character assault on Bond, to win Georgia 5th district. Instead of Lewis working against Trump, he needs to work with Trump to improve conditions of his poor constituents.

You cannot read MLK’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” and harbor any animosity towards him. I d@mn near cry whenever I read that, when he speaks of his children’s innocence, not yet understanding that so many of the joys of life in America were denied them.
Imperfect, in the midst of a cauldron of competing interests, including the Democrat Terrorist Wing, Communists, and Federal spy games.
But he was a good man, hoping for no more than we hope for our own children and neighbors. Risking, and giving, his life for the liberty of a people denied such by southern Democrats.
Many being poor whites that hated that they were no longer “better” than the “lowest” group on the totem pole, killing and terrorizing and writing cruel laws to recreate that shameful heirarchy.
This after one hundred years of Republicans repeatedly passing civil rights laws, and Democrats repealing same when they rolled back into power. The Civil Rights Movement of the Sixties was profoundly brave. MLK might have met with a Commie or two, but he read and taught Gahdi and Christ.
I will never spit on his name. I am ashamed that any of us here could do so, and I am hoping they are interlopers seeking to discredit this remarkable thing that Sundance and friends have built. If so, they will fail. If not, then some of us have some reading to do. Praying too.

You are SO correct Sandra.
Much of it has to do with the fact that many kds in the ‘hoods are brainwashed from the time they are born that they are being ‘kept down by the man’.
And I’m not just talking parent(s), I’m also talking teachers, pastors, extended family, and neighbors.
That is a huge growth retardant right there, a defeatist attitude from the time the kids begin to develop conscious thought.
Many kids never travel outside their own ‘hood thru high school, so by the time they could start to make something of their lives they are already mentally shut down, locked into the cycle.
Another generation lost.
I know, I grew up in one of these ‘hoods.
I lived it first hand back then (I am white but my grade school was approx 90% black and high school approx 75% black) and I’m seeing again for the last five plus years now working in chicagos ‘hoods.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

One of my sisters went quite wild after graduating from high school and moving away from home. She moved cross country, got married, had three kids, her husband started beating her bloody on a regular basis until she’d been beaten enough times to no longer stay with him after forgiving him.
The years living on her own and raising her kids were mind numbing for me. She did things around her children I saw as nothing but sick, disgusting and perverted, but because she was/is deaf, many people gave her a huge pass for all her wrong doing.
When her kids were 13, 14 and 15 years old she kicked them out of the house — she threw them onto the streets. She was tired of trying to teach them right from wrong — like she had a clue (which she did not) — so they needed to go. By the time my husband and I heard what had happened the 14 year old went to live with her now alcoholic dad (who had years earlier beaten her mom so badly), and the 13 year old was living with a classmate’s family (that is just too weird for me on many levels). The only one still out on the street was the 15 year old who had dropped out of school 3 months earlier. We found him and asked him to come live with us. We had always been the kids favorite aunt and uncle — they thought we were rich because we never had kids and were always working — and we had money, unlike their mom on welfare.
Our nephew said yes to living with us, but we told him there would be rules, including going back to school.
So he came to live with us. We were the rich aunt and uncle who bought him the basic necessities of life, including underwear he did not have, which made me so sad realizing how bad these kid’s lives really were. Living with us he always had clean clothes, good food to eat, two people who always encouraged him and cheered him on — while teaching him right from wrong — got him a job, showed him how to save part of his earnings, tithe some of his earnings and spend some of his earnings wisely — or at least not just throw his money away on junk.
One weekend his “family” was getting together and he wanted to go. Of course we said he could be with his mom and siblings. When Sunday night came and my husband picked him up and brought him home, our nephew stopped at the bottom of our front yard steps, put his hand to his mouth, then touched the wall next to those stairs. He was kissing the wall. I saw what he did and asked, “What ‘cha doing?” He said that during the weekend he had seen gang members drive by with guns, and his entire weekend at him mom’s house was the same way, full of tragedy. He said our house was the only place he felt safe and he felt loved.
Things were going really well for all of us, but one day, about a month later, my husband and I got home from work to find a letter from our nephew on the kitchen counter. In the letter he wrote how grateful he was for everything we had done for him, how much he loved us both, how safe he always felt around us and in our home, and how much he appreciated everything we gave him that made him feel like he was no longer an outcast in society (I guess underwear and socks can do that for you if you are not used to having them). He wrote he was moving in with his dad. . . to give him another chance.
Reading the letter my husband started to cry. We had both made a huge decision that our lives would be totally different than what we had planned by inviting him in and saving to pay for his college education — to help another person in their growth to adulthood, their growth to manhood, and most importantly their growth in the God that is all that matters, Jesus Christ. We were happy to make those changes, and happy to give up our plans for him. We saw the events as God giving us the child we were never able to have — via this nephew — no matter his age.
A counselor friend of mine told me a few days later that the life our nephew lived at our house was probably so foreign to him that it made him uncomfortable, and that living in distress and the unknown at his dad’s house was something familiar to him, and something that made him feel more comfortable. He found comfort in misery.
I know for sure my nephew did not like living like a feral animal, but he definitely had been conditioned to feel something he needed while living in the sewer.
That nephew is now 45 years old. He has a wonderful job. He is married to a woman whom he defends like a man of God should defend his wife, and they have seven children who are home schooled by their mother who does not work outside their home. Every night at 7pm my nephew shuts out the world and focuses exclusively on his children, reading the Bible to them, and then talking about what they read together and how their lives were that day. His children love their time with dad.
He is an amazing man among amazing men.
And whenever he is asked how he could have ever learned what he does these days, he gets so choked up he can hardly talk. But when the words finally make their way out he gives the credit to his uncle, my husband, the man who many years ago cried when our nephew moved away. Those two men are father and son, they just do not have the same DNA.
We did not think our short time with our nephew meant anything at the time he moved out, but God used the event to raise up a man for His purposes.
“These people are completely culturally brainwashed into thinking that this feral life is something to be desired.” Yes, you are right, they are, but they do not have to stay that way.

I used to hear from my co-workers (95% black) how the “man” was holding them back, how racism destroyed their lives….etc etc etc So I used to say to them…..Back in the 1940’s Japanese were the most hated race on the planet….we openly called them racial names and slurs….it was taboo to marry one…we rounded them up and put them in concentration camps…we took away their businesses and possessions…we hated them so much we dropped 2 atom bombs on them….YET….a mere 40 years later they became one of the most respected races on the planet because of hard work and determination to succeed….Blacks have been complaining about slavery for 200 years and they will for another bunch of years to come unless they decide they’ve had enough and make something of themselves.

They “don’t want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.” He had it pegged a century ago.

TRUTH. And unfortunately, the Dem Party has chosen that class of people to be the “leaders” and has kicked aside those who can really lead toward empowerment.
And any other of the Dems pet Identity Groups, women, Hispanics, gays, whoever needs to know that they have perfected their Disempowerment Program with the black community and it is fully prepared to be dropped on YOU next.
You can already see it beginning to work it’s magic on women.
Run. Do. Not. Walk. from the Dem Party. Cuz it’ll be the death of you.

We see immigrants come here from other countries, very troubled countries, and they come here with little or nothing yet several years later they are successful, working, perhaps owning their own business, bought a house, and sending their kids to good schools. THERE IS NO EXCUSE. It’s not about wealth distributions or social programs. It’s about personal incentive. If you are a lazy grifter you will have little. If you are a hard worker you can make a nice life for yourself.

Problem is, too many in the black community want a handout vs making it themselves through hard work. That might change if you cut off welfare for those who are able to work.

It’s the only solution. You have to cut them off, or make them work for it. Can’t we have publics works projects for welfare pay? If a woman has kids and can’t be away from them, then put her in a job where the kids can be present, like day care for the other welfare workers or something.

Except for the ones who are already off the starting block and now in the middle class or the upper class, cmscarpa. Yes, there are plenty of Black middle and upper class people. We just don’t hear much about them. It’s not news, you see.
Can’t you see the headline – Family raises three children, now on the Honor Roll. Local college hires distinguished professor. Etc.
Check out Julian Bond, BTW. Clearly upper class from the start. His “demons” that the earlier commenter here mentioned were cocaine and other drugs, according to Wikipedia. Both of his parents were college grads, dad was president of a college, mother was a librarian. Did any of us know that? I sure didn’t.
LikeLiked by 1 person
And all that is from the pre-welfare era (Julian and his parents).
Notably.
Pre-welfare, blacks had intact families and jobs and paid their own way, were self-sufficient. They had churches and good family values. Before radio and TV started keeping people home at night, many were out dancing to big bands in Harlem, look up clips on youtube. Many achieved more, such as your Julian Bond example.
Welfare killed their society and their values. Helped along by grievance hustlers sowing racial animosity right up to the very present. And tomorrow.
Yes, some achieve, but there’s a very large fraction who haven’t. Cmscarpa had it right, making exception for the exceptions, of course.
