Los Angeles stopped a musician from building quality and affordable homes for homeless (Portland tried something similar and the homes were inferior b/c of gov't).

Philadelphia under Mayor McNutter outlawed feeding homeless years back.

I'm waiting for more info on the culprit(s), I stand by my comment that dude was prob. already a criminal. Average 22 year old isn't walking around with a handgun for no reason.

Dude... you let your biases even name the crime. I bought my first handgun a few days before 9-11. If memory serves me correct, it was a labor day sale I got dudes to price match me during. I turned 21 end of may that year, so spent a few months shopping. Almost 19 years later, still my every day carry.

He is saying exactly the same thing I said.

You posted that the average 22 year old doesn't carry a handgun 'for no reason' and thus must already be a criminal.

His post and mine demonstrate the fallacy of that statement. Average 22 year olds with no criminal records very often decide they want to exercise their right to carry a weapon every single day.

Pretty sure several in that little skirmish had guns and shot them. The police just have not caught them all, yet. But hey, they were just having a pistol fight in the mall. Just a little collateral damage.
I wouldnt want to be the policemen trying to arrest them.

Has Riverchase mall become a shithole overrun with "kulcha"? I can remember when it was built it was the place to shop. I guess the Summit gets the affluent over the mountain crowd. Riverchase is drawing people from like Bessemer and Fairfield

Ok? Again, what does that have to do with his factually untrue statement that basically said that he knew the guy had a record because only 22 year olds with records go around armed?

Near where I reside there is a good fishing location called Cane Creek on the Tennessee river.
I had many good days there but 1 summer day like 20 years ago a father & son's life was taken so I never wanted to go back there.
Could possibly be some who'll never wanna return to the Galleria with the recent crime & murders taken place there.

Not sure why the need for the racially charged word, but the demographics at the Galleria have changed over the years. I don't think it's any different than most indoor malls across America though. Brookwood Village in Homewood is the same way. I've never felt unsafe or threatened at either, but I don't really go to either very often. Galleria has had a rash of incidents over the past 5 years. I'd be surprised if it's still around in 5 years, which is a shame. Trips there in the 80's were an event.


Other than Christmas and the restaurants on weekends, The Summit really isn't that busy either.

I agree. When it was first built, it was amazing. I was used to Century Plaza and Eastwood.

When I was a little kid in the early 80s, Century Plaza was amazing around Christmas. I wish I had pictures

Century Plaza was the bomb!

I could never really figure out why that mall died. I swear it happened like overnight.

Have you been to Brookwood lately? It’s just empty. Not even close to a comparison of the Galleria.

Wife and step-mom were there during the Black Friday brawl a few years back. We haven’t stepped foot in the place since. It’s wild how different the crowds are just across the street at Patton Creek.

To an even greater degree, the Church has the moral mandate to instill a value system in their congregations.


quote:

What I'm saying is that the church should know their bible-based mandate.


You might want to read your Bible a little closer. The "Man" of the house is responsible for the upbringing and moral standing of those under his care. The "Church" (not a specific group who gather at a specific location) those who follow the teachings of the Scriptures and the WORD are to support the efforts of the Man of the house. The Church is to care for the widows, their children, and the indigent who are part of the body of Christ. The Church is to reach out to those not in the body in an effort to share Christ and his love for them.

The Church is not tasked to take the place of a man who refuses to perform his duty to his family and his community.

It is not the responsibility or charge of the church to provide care to those who shun Christ or his Church. The door is to be open to all who would seek Christ.

Anything the Church does that would aid another in continuing in a lifestyle that is abhorrent to God would be to act against the mandated from Christ.

Back 75 years ago, The Church was actively doing it's job in the communities it served. The Church was also reaching out into surrounding communities to help. Two major things happened that derailed the efforts. The US Government took the responsibility of Dad (Man of the house) away from the fathers. The US Government incentivised low income mother's dependence on them rather than the family/community. And the second, the US Government via 501c3 laws took a controlling interest in the social activities of the church (specific entity) and weakened the community outreach efforts of The Church as a whole. When the church allowed the government to stick its nose under the tent, they invited the stinking camel for force its way the rest of the way in. That failure by the churches continues to limit what they can do and how they are "allowed" to do it by giving the government a seat at the Master's table. There can only be one Master! The churches screwed that one up themselves by allowing any outside influence on the "Biblical Mandate."

Just my two cents.

Fox News reports This story with some truly inspiring words from a black pastor in Chicago asking for folks to take back their streets for peace.

Now, will mainstream media publish similar stories, or will they continue to push us towards a race war?

I don’t know about your denomination, but in mine, the younger clergymen are eat up with CRT. Will that take a seat at the Master’s table?

Please define "CRT"

The reason I ask is that there are two CRT's that I am aware of

Critical Race Theory - Seems to have Marxist aspects that concern me greatly

Church Revitalization Trust - Church planting effort trust to build community churches in the inner city to reach/impact those people groups - looks to be a proper effort for the Church to help impact the communities outside their individual church walls.

Critical Race Theory.

Critical Race Theory is cultural marxism. It it the old liberation theology repackaged and rebranded.
