I don’t think LBJ’s plan involved letting inner cities decay to the point where gangs run them. LBJ's planning process extended no further than the next election. When he saw that the next election wasn't going to happen no matter how much he cheated (with the means available to him at the time) he quit.

I doubt Khaleaf had monetary resources to that. Yeah, a one-way bus ticket to North Dakota is so-o expensive!

What an incredibly irresponsible article. Why scare the general public from testifying? This may be dramatic journalism, but newspaper editing in the public interest is dead.

And leave his family to die.
I’m sure it’s fun getting a job with no local address.
People are always looking to hire guys living in a van down by the river...

And leave his family to die.The excerpt posted here of the article does not make it clear. It identifies him only as someone's "son." I'm figuring that if he's an unattached male in his 20s, there is nothing holding him back - nothing preventing him from telling his mother, "I've always wanted to work on a farm in N. Dakota!" and leaving.
I’m sure it’s fun getting a job with no local address.
When I was a young man back in the 1970s, you could become a boarder on the edge of town for $25 / week.

In my day, potential employers weren't so choosy. For certain low-wage positions, it was enough if you made a relatively honest impression. Heck, I could have gotten a "gig" bucking bales ("haying") - on a cash basis - any day of the week. Would have sufficed until I got settled.

That’s forty to fifty years ago.
It’s not the 70’s anymore.
Enjoy the long weekend.

That is literally right across the street from City Hall. With respect, Queen Village is many blocks away from City Hall, and not even in what is considered the same neighborhood. QV begins about seven blocks south and seven blocks east of City Hall. About a mile as the crow files, a mile and a half, walking.

He was shot before in Queen Village but the mortal shooting was in CC. From the article:
But last week, while he sat on his dirt bike and talked to friends in front of the Clothespin sculpture across from City Hall, two gunmen walked up to Sistrunk and fired 11 times, striking him in the face, neck, and chest

Thanks. Too much tryptophan? I’m usually a more careful reader. Tragic situation. His poor mother.

My post was a little confusing because the first shooting was indeed in Queens Village. The perps were after him for a long time. I cant imagine living like that.
