North Side shooting claims the life of one woman

Should have just shot this lowlife filthy cockroach and save the taxpayers money. Such a useless animal.

"“We had a general location, and we put about four unmarked cars out in the area just to comb it to see if we could find him. Sure enough, we ended up passing him on the South Side,” said Youngstown Police Lt. Gerard Slattery. “Once we entered Rockford Village though, he then spotted our trail. He bailed out of the car, jumped the fence in the back, and we were able to go over and catch him right here.”
During the arrest, police recovered a semi-automatic handgun along with $1,680 in cash.

Arias tells jury what she’ll do if allowed to live

"The best way to prevent that from happening is to ban the death penalty and commute those sentences to Life without the possibility for parole."

So you can murder whoever you want to and the worse thing you will get is, 3 meals a day, medical care, cable, rec time, library, church, etc. The hell with the victims family and loved ones just as long as the murderer is taken care of. Real fair.

Youngstown mayoral vote splits mostly along racial lines

""please take a class in logic; and then possibly you may begin to understand that attitudes like yours are the root of both the small and big problems that plague society."""

Attitude? Because you don't think there is a problem and I do? That is having a attitude? Not going to go back and forth with you, if you don't think this is a issue, then just keep you head in the sand. And when this starts escalating and becomes a huge issue, I promise I won't say "I told you so".

Defendant still faces possible death sentence, judge rules

""The defense lawyers said there are “two separate penalty systems in America, one for those accused of killing blacks, and another for those accused of killing whites.” The defense lawyers also said: “A person who kills a white person, rather than a black or minority, is almost twice as likely to receive the death penalty.”""

Are these 2 idiots serious? Doesn't matter what color the animal is or the victims, KILLING someone is just wrong.

This useless filthy DNA should get his veins ready, killing a INNOCENT 74 year old man, or he should just do it himself.

Pitiful excuse of DNA.

""You remind me of some of the "spin meisters" appearing on network news shows who insist on holding on to their misguided opinions despite solid evidence that they are on the wrong side of an issue and that their opinions are inaccurate with regard to logic and the facts.""

Your little childish comments are boring. Say something original. Misguided opinions? How could a opinion be misguided? It's a "opinion". And why is mine misguided and you think your's is right? smh

""That, my friend, is how you stem the tide of racism, not as you suggest by throwing up your hands and pathetically exclaiming that racism always has and always will exist, and as a community, there is nothing we can do about it.""

Did I say there is nothing we can do about it? Where in my comments did I say that my friend. Another one that reads only what they want to read. And yes there is something the community can do about it, one of them is like this article, make people aware of it instead of pushing it aside.

""You, on the other hand, have offered nothing except the same old Youngstown mentality that "this is the way it is because this is the way it has always been". Hence one of my previous statements that if the majority of residents share your mentality, Youngstown is truly headed down the wrong garden path.""

Offered nothing? Trying to explain to you that this happens, once again, "not" just in Youngstown, but all over the good old US of A. It's not a Youngstown mentality but a USA problem. Is that so hard to comprehend?

Race plays a precarious part in modern politics

Instead of citizens making a well-informed decision about who holds public office, some would rather vote based on something as superficial as skin color.

“I voted for Barack because he was black,” said Jackson to Ebony Magazine. “Because that’s why other folks vote for other people—because they look like them.”

Voting based on a candidate’s race is a dangerous precedent simply because it in itself is a form of racism. Biases should be suspended for the greater good of the public.

O.J. Simpson appears cuffed in Las Vegas courtroom seeking new trial

"He still maintains that he didn’t know that two of the five men with him that night at the Palace Station hotel brought guns, according to The Associated Press."

And he still maintains he didn't know who killed Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman. Karma Orenthal. Stay where you belong, in prison.

""Do you folks really believe that 7,000 votes in a city with a population of 68,000 is representative of anything???""

In Youngstown, yes. At the polls, ask people why did they vote for someone. What did he say that made them vote for them. I would venture to guess 1 out of 5 voters would have no clue why they voted for him and what he stands for.

"If readers like sobchak and Lifes2Short are indicative of the Youngstown voter mentality, we are truly in trouble.""

Voter mentality? Really? Because we have a difference of opinion on a issue, your questioning my voting mentality. Seriously? Real classy there. So typical.

""The community's culture must change in order to encourage the public to number one, vote, and number two, select leaders on the basis of who they feel will best serve the overall interests and needs of the community. The Vindicator could be a catalyst in this regard, but chooses instead to focus on the more volatile issue of racism.""

Once again, just ignore the problem and maybe it'll go away. Nice thinking.

Deny it all you want or ignore it all you want, but it's a issue that needs to be talked about, not in back rooms or in private. Just saying.....

""Sixty-one percent of the 2nd District is African-American and, yes, many people will vote because the candidate is black," said Dick Simpson, chairman of the department of political science at the University of Illinois-Chicago."
