  1. If you want a real stark contrast between rich and poor in the Western world, Google up “favela” and see what you get: scratch built housing made from garbage with no facilities at all, right at the feet of grand hi-rises and opulent homes.

    The folks in those shanties in FL are poor, true. But they live like kings compared to the real urban poor in South America.

  2. Oh, and the poor and starvin’, mistreated by awful Florida? In the photo at your link, the young man in dire straights above the caption “Bleak future: With the desperate poverty and squalor in some parts of the state, many young men feel they have nothing to lose and turn to crime”

    is overweight. And wearing brand new, very expensive sneakers.

    And even though the photograph was taken at night at what looks to be the back side of a commercial building, the street and the sidewalk are perfectly clean and show not one bit of litter. No graffiti on the freshly painted walls. All the streetlamps work. Even the verge of the grass seems to be fairly well done. I don’t see a single broken window on the buildings in the background either.

  3. Drew ... you’re quite right.  That’s what is so damn maddening. And those cars on the street of the killer don’t appear to be ghetto shabby either.
    Where he gets off claiming America has given nothing to them is beyond my understanding.
    Last week sometime a young black girl was killed when some yoots on bikes got involved in a revenge shooting. She was a good student looking forward to advanced education, not a gang member etc.  Just a straight ahead kid in line at a quick food pick up place. What a waste.
    Well, the bastard who fired the shots that killed her bragged later about how funny she looked going straight down to the ground. He thought the way she collapsed was a hoot.
    Of course, since it wasn’t murder in the legal sense, that black shit will be out of ‘youth’ detention by the time he’s 26, no doubt. Her life ends, his continues.
    It really does make me sick.  And I suppose the diplomat and expert on America could find excuses for the killer. The usual BS.

  4. There was a similar article in the Telegraph as well and this was the most recommended comment.

    This article is completely off target.

    A couple of years ago, two young French students were systematically tortured to death in London by knife-wielding thugs who were trying to prise their bank pin numbers from them as they slowly slashed their tied-up victims to death.

    A young rape victim in north London was doused with acid after the rapists had finished with her.

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/new…

    A shy woman caring for her disabled daughter in an English village was so victimised by local thugs that she eventually set fire to her car with her and her daughter inside in order to escape her tormentors.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new…

    There have also been countless stabbings of teenagers - by teenagers - in large British cities in the last few years.

    Instead of writing an article which claims that America’s “divided society” has created conditions that are alien to the British, the writer might be better-employed touring some of Britain’s neglected and rundown estates where some residents live in constant fear for their lives.

    I can’t improve in it. Except to add that importing hundreds of thousands of turd world people through the insane policy of the previous government is unlikely to have improved matters.

  5. The story was on TV again today. They showed the same street. This time I noticed that most of the cars were much newer than mine, and that at least half the houses had satellite TV dishes on the roof or in the front yards.

    Poor and neglected my ass. They’re living better than I am. On your dime.
