DALLAS — At least eight people were hurt when thousands of housing voucher applicants rushed the doors at the Jesse Owens Memorial Complex in Dallas, Texas.
An estimated 5,000 applicants waited for hours to receive applications for one of the 3,800 available vouchers. The waiting applicants became a frenzied stampede when officials opened doors to the housing voucher offices earlier than expected.

“many spent the night in their cars”.... How much gas did they burn keeping the a/c running all that time? AT $3.50 or so a gallon... hmmm..
And notice another “interesting” commonality to those who were running in... or even filing in while the reporter was giving her report...
Ironic-—Jesse Owens ‘rushed’ the Olympics in 1936 and confounded and pissed off Hitler.
These ‘folks’ just pissed off and confounded the cops.
I really hate people that just throw their spent trash on the ground, or out their window...
Amen. I saw an MTV teen mom program in which a young unwed mother was telling her mother how she was so happy that she was getting her own government subsidized apartment. I thought — why doesn’t she stay with her mother the way women in that condition always did. The government is actually inticing young women to get out of the house and into their own apartment by getting pregnant. This has to be stopped. Unwed motherhood is the only reason that people use welfare that can really be abused. There are people who are disabled and they need help. Society can afford to help them out but we cannot afford to keep giving freebies to unwed mothers because then you only get MORE unwed mothers as we have seen for more than 40 years.
Beware of stampeeding Amish.
That cute white girl is lucky she got away with only a scraped knee.
And people think we can't or shouldn't shrink government. How much more evidence is needed???
I think everything that the Dems do has a well thought out purpose which always involves more power for the Dems. I think these Section 8 stampedes as happened in Atlanta some months ago are a way of shifting the demographics where the Democrats want them to go. The Dems are moving their voters where they will do the most good for the Dem party.
Section 8 has to be cut or seriously reduced at the federal level. If they do not have the money they can’t spend it. Also, I hope that the more conservative states will refuse to take money for these programs, they do absolutely nothing for the benefit of the states. They only serve to empower corrupt Democrats. You wonder why the Democrats are so crafty and our guys as sooo stoopid!
” The government is actually inticing young women to get out of the house and into their own apartment by getting pregnant”
That is precisely what most have done, and it has spiraled
into a billion dollar boondoggle. Let the families pay for their own upkeep.
Somalis equal global gerrymandering.
Now the finger pointing...

DALLAS - A dangerous scene played out early Thursday morning as thousands of people hoping for Section 8 vouchers ran for a spot in line.
Officials knew the crowd was coming, so why weren’t they prepared?
There seems to be a lot of finger pointing. Dallas Sheriff’s Office says the Dallas Police Department
The question is how did this get so out of control. The Sheriff’s Office said it was prepared for large numbers and its officers did their jobs.
“FILE PHOTO”
Watch the video, moron.
Plenty of white trash running with the pack for their government freebies, albiet some distance behind the main stampede.
100% Wrong. These programs are unconstitutional and should NOT exist at all. They should be ended immediately. Phasing them out will not work. The Federal employees associated with these programs should be fired and their pensions revoked.
Programs such as these are highly corrosive to a civil society. They are put forth by people who are evil to their core.
If our Republic is to survive, these types of programs and ALL others that are unconstitutional need to be eliminated outright. Otherwise, the U.S. will morph into a third world banana republic. Short of Revolution II, the United States as a Republic will end.
Nasty little twit, ain’t ya?
