Normal for Indy ?

[ThePope]

I just watched the news, and it had a story of the over-night shootings in Indy, at the Monument center of town.....is this part of some ritual at an event, or normal summer sport ? ?

Showed people running from the downtown area, laughing and smiling as they booked...before the police could get crime-scene tape around the area, more shots, more wounded....more running and smiling faces...

WTF ? ?

Is this the activity folks are engaged in during the hot months on a nightly basis ? ?

Curious....and out...

 

[Colt556]

No, just during the IBE.

Yea, my 6 year old popped two on the way home from downtown tonight. I think one was only wounded though, I keep telling him you have to lead the kids more than the old homeless guy but you know how kids are.

 

[TJSieling]

I heard about what happened downtown....

10 people were shot, all between 10 and 18 years old, they think two shooters did it, but haven't found them.

Where is Al Sharpton when you need him ???

 

[MrsGungho]

It's making news all over. My daughter caught a "preview" of the news coming up and called to ask me what was going on down here.
answered in 2 words, black expo. She laughed and said ok.

He was just in town , guess he couldn't get enough media time for this one.

 

[Robert Richardson]

Just the natives getting restless.

Laughing and smiling... I saw that on the news. I agree, WTF?

 

[DRob]

Yes

To directly answer your question about the "nightly basis" part.....Yes! Just about every night someone gets shot in Indpls. We seldom get into double digits, though. Do you think we're LA, Chicago, New York, or DC?

 

[STEEL CORE]

Happens here, happens in Detroit, happens in Mogadishu, consider the source.

well certain groups can have events peacefully and get bad image ,but a bunch of i dont know what to call them swarm the streets with saturday night speacials why mommas getting krunk and its the securitys fault first of all i wouldnt let my son or daughter roam downtown without my company goes to show the lack of guidence not lack of security trigger fingers itching gotta go lol

 

[rimfire_crazed]

I'd walk any street in downtown Indianapolis unarmed in any way - 50 weeks a year. The two weeks of IBE? I leave my office at 5pm and high tail it out as fast as I can.

 

[Hiram2005]

I wonder why Sharpton doesn't hang out downtown during N.E.? It's his people.

 

[Josh Ward]

You people are all a bunch of racist bigots.....jeeze....these poor african american folks...it ain't their fault. Its "the man" trying to keep them down.....

 

[bigdaddy4871]

disgust

our states keeping the pacer we should call thugs and shuting libraries down can we see a problem here?

 

[bigdaddy4871]

i grew up around tech high school and was in the mix of all that so ive been to war befor , but now things have changed kids carry bigger guns than the officers and momma cries and there babys out of trouble cause the officer was racist bs...get your 10 kids under control and save the tax payer some money from having too baby sit them isnt welfare enough
