Flint mayor calls for end to violence after weekend shootings leave 12 injured

FLINT, MI -- City leaders in Flint pleaded with residents to end the violence after a rash of weekend shootings left 12 people injured, including six at a popup party in a parking lot.

Flanked by police, clergy, and Flint City Council Vice President Maurice Davis, Mayor Sheldon Neeley said police were on site Saturday night in the Hallwood Plaza near the intersection of Clio and Pierson roads.

That’s where shots were fired by people in a crowd of approximately 3,000.

Six people were shot, with all the victims listed in good condition at a local hospital. Information was not immediately available from police on the six additional shooting victims that were injured elsewhere in the city.

“These popup parties have been a nuisance inside the city of Flint,” Neeley said.

Organizers with of the event had been previously told they could not hold the gathering at the Flat Lot or the Rutherford parking ramp in downtown Flint or the Hallwood Plaza, Flint Police Chief Phil Hart said.

Neeley pointed out similar events have been shut down the last three weeks, with no permitting allowed for crowds of more than 100 people outdoors due to a state executive order meant to try and reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Well, this photo certainly inspires confidence. They look like a bunch of hostages.

Is a "popup party" the same as the "block parties" that blacks are having in Queens and other cities?

Is this a "black culture" thing? A drinking party in the street involving thousands of people?

And we can't get more than 50 people in our local church, under penalty of incarceration and fines.

I have. On many dates. It only works about 25% of the time and I think in their case it’s more like zero

That seems to be the latest trend, should work out well. Maybe they could send some “social workers” around to help with the party planing too.

Anyone can.

I just make up a story in my head about how awesome I am and how awesome my life is and then I get myself to believe it :-)

it’s all a big lie of course but by the time they find out at least I had a few laughs :-)

I ain’t had a “date” since Shrub was in his first term.

Of course, the big laugh for you is when you have to push the car home after the date. =8-0>

The New Left isn't going stand still. They will exploit weakness, provoke to advantage, escalate and will keep on going regardless of any pleas. They have the media on their side and they know this may be their last chance in a generation.

It's not going to be pretty folks for the next few months.

If I were in the Democratic cities, I would say to Flee. To those in the Suburbs, to be vigilant and to those in the countryside to keep on praying.

America has come through worse and has repented to God and had national revivals before. God can grant repentance once again for America or He can leave us to our just deserts. God Help Us!

And I won’t pursue this any further since we are posting on a political website...but you’re a smart guy. Funny. Witty. Intelligent.

Ain’t no reason for you to not have a date for so long.

And freerepublic does not keep us warm at night :-)

A reformation is the only way out of this. I’ll fight if I have to but a peaceful resistance will show who is righteous and who’s not. Jack booted thugs arresting worshippers is not a good look.

Interesting that they had to include that.
As if they HAD to confirm it as “true”.

Many people are just following their unenlightened, or distorted, or bored, or evil dreams.
Do they deserve their outcomes?

If you haven’t seen this, here is the information on Antifa the mass media is trying to hide:

Meet the real Antifa, part 1: https://www.ammoland.com/2020/06/antifa-osint-profile-violent-leftist-group-part-1/

part 2:
https://www.ammoland.com/2017/06/antifa-profile-radical-left-anarchist-group-part-2/

part 3:
https://www.ammoland.com/2017/07/antifa-osint-profile-leaders-weaknesses-exposed-part-3/

Antifa is the terrorist wing of the Democratic Party.
