Baby Zyia Death on Brinker Street

[Zacha341]

Sounds like a bonifide flop-house and there are many. Made up of people and family members of all ages... After all from the many abandoned homes in the city not all of the inhabitants left, nor are they all homeless. Thus, large numbers of folks congregate in a home or flat... varying streams of income, hustles, lifestyle, disorder, chaos, and what we saw in those news reports. No time to clean up for the cameras...

I've worked with and mentored teens who lived in these settings. It was nearly impossible to function productively or even keep clothes washed as often the water is turned off - no heat in the winter... This is the kind of setting where people come and go all times of day and night. Couches and floors are were people/ children sleep, or shall I say take turns sleeping, etc. Not a place for a child. This is beyond sad...

sad, and infuriating.. TV reports had approximately 20 [[!) people living in the home.. if so, that is madness.. family or not, people can't just leave their children with "anybody"..

They had money to spend on security. It looks like it was a bit more than a flop house.

Sometimes the guns go along with the flip-and-the-flop of it all. This is edgy living; the cost of er' 'purchased' guns and barred doors is negligible in that context.

That doesn't explain the motorized cameras at each end of the house.

Ok I was being perhaps oblique. Now I WILL BE DIRECT: DRUG Trafficking! That may explain the special 'um amenities and armaments... You know that alternate income that seems to emerge in some households?

Additionally, this home may have once been a decent dwelling, with homeowners or renters trying to protect their property and contents which evolved into what we now see. Those cameras may not even be operable.
