but at least the situation is being dealt with.




interesting story that came out on the news in central america:

in one of the poor neighborhoods in the city of managua, nicaragua, there was a riot that was escalading and getting out of proportion. many gangs had met in a specific spot in order to settle many of their differences. this brought great concern to those whom lived near by to the place where the gangs were to meet. a concerned woman called in the authorities to let them know that the neighborhood was in grave danger. in response, the police officer informed her "sorry lady, but we dont have enough gas to make it out there"

some task force huh? but its the reality in many other countries. i think everyone should think twice before making such negative comments about the way things are being handled here. at least they're being handled!
nothing against you Smoke, don't take it personal... but i HATE when people say shit like this. don't compare us to them. don't use that as an excuse. we live in AMERICA. we had the ability to be down there the first day and helping them right away.
we can't hide behind excuses like "well over there it's like this"
FUCK THAT. we are here.
