Downtown Dallas has been quiet as far as protests/riots. Apparently there was a shooting in Deep Ellum with five people shot on Friday night. There are gangs of folks on scooters looking for trouble and some folks were assaulted last week one being sucker punched and knocked unconscious ... black on white violence.
This is the Daily march last Monday 8/24 - nothing burger.  Attached File |

I read somewhere there's a push to remove all the scooters from downtown and Deep Ellum. A little late for that. We haven't been downtown to eat (to go or otherwise) since March, and I scratched Deep Ellum off the to go list in July. Just don't want to deal with that crap. |

(I was about to post that)
Scooters and bikes are a good thing, just need to figure out how to support them better (and some enforcement of the bad riders). "This is why we can't have nice things."

Scooters in Dallas are a disease. Glad to see them go away. I work Downtown and teenage thugs drive these things all over the sidewalks and the wrong way up one way streets.
Deep Ellum is cess pool right now. Largely from packs of people looking for trouble. |

Been seeing live posts from DPD headquarters on Lamar all afternoon with traffic blocked.
We went to dinner at El Fenix last night on NW Highway, then drove down Preston to go home. All quiet on Friday. Wouldn’t touch downtown or Deep Ellum with a 10ft pole. |

That’s terrible. It’s been pretty Shit down here with the increased Aggressive homeless presence, scooter gangs, and street racers. Burn loot murder has for the most part been a joke March getting smaller by the week. Slight bump tonight in numbers. Hate to see a video of a mob chasing folks but doesn’t surprise me.
The mood around here with downtown residents is improved with removal of the scooters and increased DPD presence in the last week. I’m working on getting the hell out of here but most properties are not moving (not surprisingly with the madness going on). It’s a damn shame, wasn’t too bad a year ago and is close to work. |

The incident happened during a Rescue America rally at the Main Street Garden Park in the downtown area. According to its website, the group holds rallies “pushing back on the radical Left.” Police said multiple people were detained and taken to the department’s headquarters for questioning. According to police, the people detained received citations for the incident. However, police later said Alexander was arrested for outstanding warrants. |

Been reading today about how they don’t like the open carry guys walking around down there.
Why? Because you can’t get in their face and impose your will upon them? The town has gone from bad to shit. I think even the black democrat mayor is afraid the town’s gone too far left and is unmanageable. |

Quote History“I’ve had friends who’ve been chased down by white supremacists in the middle of the night on the SMU campus,” I think I am going to call bullshit on this one. It’s just one more lie added on top of the other lies that Burn Loot and Murder spits out along with the media. If it was true there would be plenty of security footage to prove it. |

There's a shocking dearth of security cams on SMU. When my kid's bicycle was stolen, there were like 3 cameras that were working that had anything. For being such an expensive school, I'm thoroughly unimpressed with their security. |

We had several visits on the campus there and it just didn't feel secure for some reason. There seemed to be a sense of "it can't happen here" for some reason. |

I'm telling you they don't have working cameras, and there wouldn't be a bunch of cellphones in the middle of the night. I think a much more likely explanation would be "drunk frat boys chase non-SMU hoodlum off campus," but who knows. It's certainly a very white student body. I'm sure outsiders have a lot of preconceived notions about the type of people that attend that school. Some of those notions, however, are right on target. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss this claim. |

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss this claim. Well with just about every other Burn Loot Murder claim being false I am going to go out on a limb and say this is false too. I have yet to see any claim they have have any truth to it after the facts all come out. Maybe SMU needs to spend some money to fix every security camera they have as they are obviously all broken per this report. We also need to have a class just for SMU how to use camera phones as this seems to be the only campus in the US that has nobody that knows how to use them. On every other campus when a “wrong” is committed their seems to be a dozen different phone camera angles of the incident 24 hours a day with people yelling world star. |

I had pretty high hopes when she came in. But she was on thin ice from the bad start with getting licensed, medical vanishing, and now the riots. Online reaction is universally panning her of course, but from both sides. Continuing police brutality on one side, and failing to control riots or crime rate on the other. reddit r/Dallas discussion |

She wasn’t a good choice to begin with, but who in their right mind would deal with all that shit right now. Between the city council, city management and demands from all the special interest group... fuck all that. I feel a little sorry for her. I sure as shit wouldn’t hang around any longer than I had to.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Don’t worry, they’ll hire someone else to be their bitch and the cycle will repeat itself. The number of grasping, petty tyrants out there is unlimited. Like any politician, the request or search for power should be disqualifying by itself. Almost all elected positions should be drafted from the ranks of registered voters(*), and I'm thinking police chief would be just as good a chance of working well by that method. * - I have a whole proposal on this. Draft congresscritters and everyone else, and it should be seen as a hardship post. Washington DC will have a rule against air conditioning and we'll ship in extra mosquitos. Everyone will be "Oh shit I got drafted, two years away from my real work, in hell" |
