Because he kidnapped and raped my son, so I had to blow his head off like any reasonable person would do in that situation.

Northern Indiana, from Gary to Fort Wayne, is the worst part of the country.

Gary is very empty these days. Ironically it's much safer than it was in decades past because there's just very few people there anymore.

Edit: But apparently those few remaining are still proud of their craft. 2 utility workers shot at. They must not need power that badly.

Ten days without power is Bad


Yes……..but people ‘round these parts go through that on an almost annual basis. We soldier through it and we make it through ok.

PS:
Are people in Gary, Indiana somehow prohibited from buying generators?

Look at the weather, they don’t need a generator. Hell, they have basements that probably stay cool enough to keep fruits and vegetables. It sucks to not have power, especially for a business but a business could get a generator. But actual comfort of life is not nearly as bad as in the southern heat and humidity of August.

Their pools (lol I know it’s Gary, Indiana) are almost too cold to swim right now. My aunts pool in Chicago is really only usable warm from about late June to early August. These August cool fronts in the 50s they get usually make the pool too cold

Exactly how long do you think it generator would last in Gary? The natives would have that stolen, stripped of copper and in a river somewhere within hours of delivery.

Nah, i've seen this covered alot from the racism angle, which is wild because the mayor and city council is all black.

They are waiting for the government to buy, deliver, and install them. Might even take a few shots at them while they’re doing it.

2016 floods here barely made the national news. If the storm isn't named and there isn't a political story, no one pays attention.

Poorest town in the U.S.

There’s not a lot of guys named Gary anymore.


When I lifeguarded 25 years ago there was a little black kid named Walter. Cool little guy and it was amazing to see a little kid named Walter. A name reserved for old white guys.

I love how Grok makes it a point to tell us that the city is 80% black
