Community organizers go to summits. Gang members are too busy killing people in the streets to attend summits. They don’t want to stop doing what they are doing, let alone sit in room and listen to some squish head talk. Design flaw in this guy’s plan.

Meeting was in a no gun zone and they were afraid of getting shot.

I think it’s already in effect. The Polish people there need to watch their backs.

The gangbangers were busy doing what they do and couldn’t make the meeting. In the future they need to RSVP....

Anyone who is caught committing a crime and also belonging to a gang should do twice the time, in a camp where he has to wear dresses. For violent offenders, neuter them, remove all their tattoos, and make them serve twice the time wearing nothing but flower print panties. If cities, states and the federal government would spend half the time they spend on grabbing guns, destroying gangs, they would stop twice the crimes they stop now.

It didn’t take just one speech to turn those people into the animals they have become. Going back to LBJ and beyond the entire race has been denigrated by the Democrats who see them as a ready supply of loyal voters and a source of their national power. Mandingo lives!

Hardiman also said attendance Saturday was low because many gang members sleep until the late morning or early afternoon. Saturday's program ran from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Was there catering? At least donuts? May explain why attendance was so paltry...
