--- "1 dead, at least 20 hurt in a shooting at a Juneteenth celebration in Illinois, police say"

The headline writer thinks "celebrations" are all best celebrated with dead and hurt. And shooting. Because....

More lives continuing to not matter. Hopefully many here are thinking about a nice and safe day at the shooting range or trap or skeet club in most other parts of the country.

10a) Avoid concentrations of blacks not all known to you personally.

(10b) Stay out of heavily black neighborhoods.

(10c) If planning a trip to a beach or amusement park at some date, find out whether it is likely to be swamped with blacks on that date (neglect of that one got me the closest I have ever gotten to death by gunshot).

(10d) Do not attend events likely to draw a lot of blacks.

(10e) If you are at some public event at which the number of blacks suddenly swells, leave as quickly as possible.

Yes an illegal street takeover at 12:30 am is a “celebration”

Juneteenth weekend is one those weekends to avoid celebratory gatherings.

This is just the beginning of the “Juneteenth” celebration - there are plenty more mass shootings to come.

My procedure in the supermarket checkout line is to seek out white or preferably Asian checkout personnel. Is this racist?

I get less attitude, more competence and efficient processing.

Is this a failure in my perceptions?

Because those Juneteenth slaves set free in Galveston, Tx. 1865 celebrated their freedom with violence upon one another. /sarc Ferals just following tradition. Prolly most of those idiots can’t explain what Juneteenth really is about.
