Gary beefs up appeal to Pence for state police help
Post-Tribune ^ | July 25, 2013 | Post-Tribune Staff

GARY — Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson wrote a second, more detailed appeal to Gov. Mike Pence on Tuesday, asking him to send Indiana State Police into the city to boost police presence for three months.

Since the July 11 letter, “several more homicides occurred claiming the lives of young African-American males. The situation in our community is now beyond urgent,” the mayor wrote.

Attached to the letter is a five-page, “Gary, Indiana for Life” plan that includes many operations and programs in place long before the recent jump in violent deaths here.

No one from the governor’s office returned messages left by the Post-Tribune seeking comment on the request.

The introduction to the plan calls this year’s 31 homicides “unprecedented,” citing a more than 50 percent increase over the same time in 2012.

Wow.... It’s sounding like it’s not safe for blacks to live around blacks. Hmmm, might not be long before the black folks regret pi$$ing off us whites. LOL

Indiana has carry laws. It also has stand your ground laws I suggest she establish some neighborhood watch groups and arm them.

Cities have always been places of violence. Even in the bible, violence and depravity nested in the cities.

What impelled you to make such a blasphemous comment? I just warn. God’s there and always wills the same thing. Romans 13, if you dust your bible off.

Spell out exactly what is “blasphemous” about my comment. Do you even know what the word means?

>> I just warn.

You just sanctimoniously bloviate from your recliner, you mean. Instead of taking others to task, set a good example! Get off your butt and DO something about it. Even if it’s just to get on your knees and pray. If it’s not too much trouble, that is.

Damn white suburbanites...keep voting down “mass transit” out to their spread-out gated communities! How’s an aspiring thug supposed to get out to where the people with good stuff are? Steal a car?

She’s trying to make Pence look bad. Watch the liberal media start interviewing her and then the drumbeat will begin.
