Ed is an inspiration to the Valley --- but only because he escaped this cesspool and found his fortune and fame somewhere else.
If he stayed here --- he would've become a typical Ytown idiot --- scratching out a living as a low-level drug dealer or Mafia goon. That is the cold, hard truth.
The 2nd Amendment clearly states --- "In order to maintain a well-regulated militia, the right to bear arms shall not be infringed".
The 2nd Amendment does NOT state every citizen has a right to bear arms for whatever purpose they feel is necessary. If our forefathers wanted the public to carry guns around with them with impunity, they would have clearly written in the Constitution --- "The right to bear arms is guaranteed to all citizens for whatever purpose they choose". Can you understand basic English language, nimrod?
America's founding fathers were much wiser than us because they realize the only reasons you need to own guns is to hunt for meat to put on the dinner table, and to defend against a tyrannical government who imposes taxation without representation. Those are the ONLY 2 reasons any population needs guns.
The NRA and other right-wing nutjobs are the idiots responsible for the massive proliferation of guns in our culture which is causing widespread murder and mayhem. Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton would puke at how badly those morons have perverted the 2nd Amendment. Bet on that.
I thought the wonderful NRA theory of a heavily-armed populace is that this kind of killing can be prevented since everyone would have a gun to prevent a psycho from murdering somebody? This theory also failed miserably in Texas where supposedly everyone loves to carry a gun to prevent murders, and yet a DA and his wife were gunned down in cold blood.
The murders will keep escalating and it will keep making you NRA freaks looks STUPID because it's a fantasy theory that DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. A heavily armed population does not prevent crime --- it only enhances it. When are you nimrods going to understand this basic concept?
For every house burglary that is thwarted by a gun-wielding homeowner, there are at least 10 murders committed by people who legally purchased a firearm. Those are the ugly facts and the IGNORANT NRA freaks keep buying into the fantasy.
Manufacturing jobs are never coming to Thugstown because everyone here wants to get paid $40/hour and take 20 smoke breaks a day!
Entertainment is the way to go ---- we need more tat parlors, strip clubs, whore houses, and driveby tours showing murder scenes and meth lab locations.
I grew up in the 80's listening to "Satanic" heavy meral, watching violent R-rated movies and playing gory video games ---- and yet I earned a graduate degree from a good university and I'm a productive member of society because my parents taught me good values as a person.
Blaming TV and video games is baseless and weak and ultimately a waste of time ---- this girl's parents deserve 100% of the blame for letting her develop into a miscreant.
Don't forget all the Wall Street criminals ---- "Steal TRILLIONS and get away with it" while the little people waste taxpayer dollars being in prison and getting out early anyway.
Gotta love our system! Sure teaches us all that crime doesnt pay, right?
Look at the TRILLIONS the Wall Street criminals stole during the mortgage scam ---- those are the people who should be crammed into prison for life.
This lady steals a couple blankets ---- compare that to the enormous damage done by investment bankers and it's easy to see why she's getting what she's getting.
Do most of you dummies ever venture outside of this garbage dump known as the Mahoning Valley? Try visiting places like Phoenix or San Antonio to see what a vibrant city built for the future looks like.
Thugstown is a failed social experiment. I compare it to a deer that was once alive and prospering when the steel industry was at its peak, but then it got smashed by a car and the vultures called the Mafia ate the decaying flesh. Now, all you have left is the maggots called welfare skanks and two-bit drug dealers picking the bones clean!
I have a 50-year plan for Thugstown ---- suck all the natural gas from the shale and use the profits to bulldoze the whole area and let the trees and animals reclaim what is rightfully their God-given property. That is the ONLY way to preserve an honorable legacy for this putrid pile of rubbish.
Probably would've been better if the flood totally wiped out the area and returned it to Nature so the forest animals could rightfully reclaim what we took from them.
Youngstown has turned into Thugstown in the 100 years since the flood and now it's a filthy cesspool of crime, drugs, and hopelessness that has no reason to exist anymore.
"She added that “we want to create a certain atmosphere” downtown"
LOL --- Thugstown wants to have a certain atmosphere downtown for all the "tourists" that flock down there, right?
If Thugstown wants to be true to it's core essence ---- I say open the gates and allow strip clubs, porn stores, $20 quickie brothels, tat parlors, and meth labs to flood the vacant downtown stores.
