The Institute of Christ the King has a church nearby on 63rd and Woodlawn or so. Maybe they can send an exorcist over.

The south side is also the ghetto, but they didn’t mention that fact.

In consideration to the prospective visitors (aka victims or drug cartel collateral damage) they should ensure a police station and hospital are nearby.

“The south side is also the ghetto, but they didn’t mention that fact.”


I was just about to ask about that.

A great place for a library-—the homeless can spend the day there during the cold winters.

I see they used the same flag picture that I posted here years ago.

 photo obama_flag.jpg

 photo obamanation.jpg

It was taken in Kokomo, IN by a local newspaper shortly after the idiot was elected.

. We FReeped the papers online poll and they shut it down.
