@Mel Hopkins you will write more, the beginning of a great era:)

That's funny, you're saying I continue to blame others but I didn't hear any recommendations on how you're gonna help our communities or how you can even stop your own communities from being so violent as well. I tell you what, you fix your problems first and then come back and tell us how to fix ours until then I suggest you tried not to talk about our communities and talk more about fixing yours, because there's plenty of stuff you can work on in your own. It kind of reminds me of how Republicans always seem to know an abscess over gays to the point they would make legislation about them. I don't wake up thinking about gay people and their lifestyle. I don't wake up thinking about white people and their lifestyles. But you all can't seem to stop obsessing about everybody else's problems when you have the bulk of them. If you wanna help us help yourself, because when you stop putting obstructions in front of us we can help ourselves. That might not be the answer you wanna hear but that is the truth and until you stop racism and systematic oppression these neighbourhoods are going to continue to have problems including yours. Why? Because we are all intertwined. I don't know what answer you were looking for but I've given you plenty of them on how to fix the problem and you don't seem to want to acknowledge any of them. - I've talked about fair wages so people can work an 8 hour shift and take care of their families. - I talked about letting these people keep more of their taxes instead of millionaires and billionaires being exempt from taxes. - I talked about gun stores being responsible for the same crimes that are committed from selling guns to these criminals. - I talked about loan practices that would allow these families to buy homes that they can borrow from like other Americans have done in the past. * You on the other hand told me about third hand stories of your Asian friends. None that you've experienced yourself, but you heard about it. * You talked about our crime numbers like white people's crime numbers we're zero... Yeah OK...LOL * You repeatedly stated no blame game as you played the blame game. Again that's like saying no offense when you're getting ready to try to offend someone... Not cool. Essentially what you're doing is gaslighting and you had no intentions on coming up with any kind of solutions for our community as well as yours which by the way could use some attention as well. So with that I hope you don't comment anymore that would be great and I hope you going fine solutions for your own community and then come back and tell us how you figured it out and how it's going and what we can do to fix ours. Until then... Good Day Sir!!!

Hey @Mel Hopkins I did not realize Kim was at Tech the same time we were? That is even cooler. Thanks for sharing @richardmurray!

@Pioneer1 The main charge in NY was legally on soft ground. The only reason why stormy daniels occurred was because in NY if you live outside of NY the statute of limitations changed on the law. If Schrumpf lived in NYC no stormy daniels case
