Good, I don’t blame them.

At one point I think the Barksdale AFB Commander was thinking about making significant parts of Shreveport off limits to Airmen.

I was stationed in va beach for years in the navy . It’s probably the only naval base east side of the Mississippi that isn’t surrounded by the hood . Things you’ll find outside of just about any military base strip clubs, pawn shops, loan offices, cheap hotels , shite hole bars and drugs .

A story posted last summer, but the first I've seen of this.

I remember seeing it several years ago I think. And good for the base. If the government won't help fix the problem it helped to create, then people have to take actions into their own hands and fix it.

Gun violence? Did they mean GANG violence?


No. Just guns.

You haven't noticed 9mms and AR-15s just hopping down the streets on their own, indiscriminately shooting themselves at people with zero human agency?

It's funny, because black Facebook will swear that there are still half a dozen sundown towns in South Mississippi, Long Beach being one of them.

I have a black friend who grew up in rural Louisiana where 100% of his closest friends growing up were white, and he still somehow believes dumb stuff like this. He’s college educated too (and not some SJW useless degree, he’s a computer programmer).

ETA: I try to tell him that as a white guy it’s much more dangerous for me to hangout in an all black neighborhood after dark than him hanging out in an all white neighborhood after dark, but he’s not convinced
