Charlie Luken did absolutely nothing to protect the business owners downtown, he has absolutely no spine whatsoever. It amazes me that this guy is still holding his job.
Other than my husband having to work downtown, we will not go there, regardless of what festivities are going on (although I did make an exception to go downtown for the Bush rally).
No city like Cincinnati should've had to impose a curfew; the Police should have arrested the criminals, instead of apologizing to them.
I hate the fact that as a KY resident we have to pay taxes to Cincinnati just to be employed there, yet when my husband leaves work at night, he is hassled by aggressive panhandlers and the like.
Hopefully, as more and more businesses move out of the city, people will begin to wake up and realize the problems stem from a totally inept city management.
The City has been poorly "managed" for years. I put it in quotes, because it is really more chaos than management.
The way they knuckled under to the rioters and the group of so called reverends that instigated the riot was incredible.
Then they knuckled in to the Justice Dept. on the "profiling". In the inner city, blacks commit almost 100% of the crime. It is not profiling. It is just common sense. (Most prostitutes now are white, for some reason.)
Now I understand the police are going to on a slowdown or strike while working.
