It happens in other Cities

MJCMEX, feel free to be selective in the posts that you respond to.

The murderer in Las Vegas went on his shooting spree because he believed that his Social Security check was reduced because he was black. I wonder how much race-based anger is provoked by the so-called black leaders, who continue to spread their lies about some great white conspiracy against blacks. Could we not consider this backlash a form of terrorism? If militant Islamics can be classified as terrorists, why not militant blacks?

Good advice

I didn't know it before I moved here but Las Vegas had the reputation at one time as being the "Mississippi of the West" in terms of segregation. A lot of that tension still exists. This guy to me is an extreme example, perhaps paranoid.
By the same token he had his benefits cut by about $550. That is pretty tough.

What can really drive people over the edge here is that whole "you have to know someone" to get a job bit. It is most likely the opposite issue that Detroit has. We have plenty of people and a need for plenty of services, but some of the most incompetent people are hired for jobs while others are passed over because the don't know the "right people".

I am not just talking about the Casinos. This goes on at Wal Mart.

Unless I am mistaken Detroit seems to be suffering from a lack of people, competent or otherwise.

I have no patience for people of color who blame everything that goes wrong in their lives upon "racism". I am Mexican American so you had better believe I have experienced real discrimination before. That does not give me the right to go shoot up a court house. I agree with you, and I would add that if any profiling happens it should be based upon extreme behavior and skin color should not be an issue one way or the other.

And for the guy with the "Bentley Pinto" comparison I have to say that Vegas is at best Chevy Nova. It doesn't blow up on contact, but it still has many problems under the hood.
