Same goes for Jews; they have a culture strong in intelligence, and art. Black culture would benefit from moving away from the murders that are mostly (75%) black on black to something along the lines of engineering, or at least something that doesnt leave a trail of crime.<BR/><BR/>Anyone else tired of hearing victim stories from the black community?

Everybody from the governor and the mayor made bets on their team with the opposing governor and mayor. Were these bets illegal? What about all of the office pools in government building and private businesses during the World Series, NBA Playoffs, NCAA, 500 Mile Race, Brickyard 400, holes in Golf Tournaments, dogs and Harness races at the Indiana State Fair. These bets are not regulated, nor do the winners pay any taxes on the money. <BR/><BR/>Indiana has legalized every form of illegal gambling thus far the lottery, Casinos, Pull Tabs, Pari-mutual betting, bingo parlors, why not peas shakes? The Catholic Church was known for bingo and numbers games, and was never raided when they held bingo games and ran their numbers weekly. So what is the big deal now. Could it be a question of economic racism? Gambling is gambling. Laws were violated in the 300 East Bar/Restaurant where no enforcement was used. Mayor Peterson has not spoken on the subject to date. Why all the fuss? Think about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-41749237617922408622007-02-10T09:05:00.000-05:002007-02-10T09:05:00.000-05:00"HOWARD, JAMES S & FLORENCE E own the property at 1410 W Roache according to the property records freely available on IndyGov.org"<BR/><BR/>The city nees to go after the property ownersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-56832610445074186392007-02-10T00:33:00.000-05:002007-02-10T00:33:00.000-05:00So, is the owner of this peashake house Glenn Howards son?

They'd be charged with unlawful gambling and/or visiting a common nuisance. I can't remember ever seeing one of the operators ever being charged with anything other than maintaining a common nuisance. Back then, Manny Bell would represent the gamblers. Sometimes, the state would dismiss all the charges if one person would plead. But that was rare. <BR/><BR/>The reality of the whole thing is that it is a hold over of the racist past. White Indianapolis would penalize these places periodically as a fine or cost of business. Otherwise, they'd leave the blacks alone as long as they paid the periodic "fine."<BR/><BR/>Now, I remember when Bradford was trying to pass legislation against these nuisances, hearing black council members saying things like, "this is black culture, it's our history, blah, blah, blah." Which, to me, is a way of saying Black culture is all about illegal gambling, prostitution and drugs. (G. Howard may have joined in with this those in this crowd),<BR/><BR/>Anyway, it seems to me that if one tolerates these nuisances as part of black life, that tey don't hurt nothing (sic), one is taking a very condescending view of blacks. It's like double racism. The institutional whites expect it, tax it via fines every so often, and the hacks like Glen Howard, reap the beneifits of a protection racket. Who suffers? EVERYONE THAT HAS TO LIVE IN THESE BAD NEIGHBORHOODS! I have nothing against many so called vices. I just don't want them in my neighborhood. Doesn't every one have this right? It makes me sick to see something blatently illegal being condoned by an elected official. It's criminal. Same with a public building having a bar!

Lots of empty Budweiser & Sunkist orange boxes on the ground outside. The same thing with the windows boarded up. That must be a fire & safety violation. Especially if there are a lot of people in the place. There were about 30 cars in the parking lot. How can all those people escape if there is a fire or emergency? That's why there are zoning laws, a building code and a fire code - to protect people in commercial enterprises. If you think pea shakes should be legal, Sen. Howard should sponser a bill. They should be licensed, properly pay taxes, adhere to all zoning, fire and safety laws just like any other business. Then there would be no problem with them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-45857073200498025192007-02-09T20:32:00.000-05:002007-02-09T20:32:00.000-05:00Is the anonymous nobody at 8:02pm insinuating that Republican County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi is getting payoffs and is negligent, corrupt and/or complacent?
