Hammond is looking for trouble

[sharkey]

All I saw was the hot dog vendor complaining about the moving dog ordinance and the lady announcing the opening of the new hip hop dance studio. Hot stuff in Hammond!

Well, they have a point. Speaking for myself, if the dogs on the hot dog cart are moving, I'm going to go get falafel.

Well it looks like the only person on the Hammond City Council that understood the ramification of the new IN state law and how it affect hammond (ie. the civil suit now working it's way in the courts) lost her job as she was voted out.

Kim Poland (R) 4th District lost her election so now the Hammond Council is fully D.
13 incumbents ousted in Lake, Porter counties

When will these people that vote the way they do ever learn. I'm afraid it's looking more and more like it will take a total loss of rights and liberties before they get the message. Then it will be to late.

The council can't help it. They are still traumatized from Herman Cain sexually harassing them

Before this election my mom told me she met McD as he was going around neighborhoods. I told her she was lucky I wasn't there at the time. I would have asked him why Hammond police are unaware, or claim to be, that the LTHC allows open carry.

ugh, I should have voted. Not that it would have made a difference but at least I could get up on my high horse and complain about the results. McD probably got a lot of senior votes because of his helping them out with taxes. My mom loved that.

Jims Red Hots on Kennedy. Lady at the counter saw my FD shirt and the XD and said next time I get a discount. Isn't that nice?

So instead of getting a discount I might get a ticket??

Another council meeting, another night of disappointment.

For who? When does Poland leave the board or is she already off?

Depends on how deep you want to go. Gun owners, citizens, those that believe in the rule of law, etc. The party of Jackson is really showing its a@@ up here. Kim's term is up Dec 31.

 

[Bill B]

There is a hearing on various motions Scheduled for Feb 29.

With Kim off the council I doubt if then illegal ordinances are going to get another reading. The mayor and his boys have made it clear they have no intentions on changing this.

To clarify, the hearing on Feb 29th is a court hearing not a council hearing.

r u sure cause FEB only has 28 days u know.
So hammond is gonna say that whatever occurs on that day has no bearing.


ps.
Yes I know it's a leap year but I'm sure hammond will use that excuse.

 

[eblevins]

same goes for South Bend

South Bend is in the same situation. It is anti gun but has more than its fair share of thugs. The while city is afraid after dark

 

[kjf40]

Someone gets killed nearly everyday by shooting in South Bend, would never live there.

I have family in Hammond...sad thing is...if the local gov. would just lay off of it for a while, they would see that crime may subside a bit if criminals knew or thought maybe everyone is carrying a gun!

"If it's state law, let's let our Legislature explain why it's OK. I think a problem in Hammond is gun violence, and we're saying let's carry more guns," McDermott said

That has to be the most idiotic thing I have ever heard. Absolutely no common sense.

It's not about common sense. It's about what will get him votes and keep him in power.

You have 200 to 300 homicides in SB every year?

You're right and it's a sad commentary on the absolute stupidity of the average voter. That and the fact that people who vote in ethnic or union blocks don't care what else a politician does after he takes care of them. Rip a living human being out of the womb? No problem since he gave me my union contract job site. Take away my 2nd amendment rights? Okey dokey since he put an affirmative action, women and/or minority quota on the new downtown arena. Disgusting way to sell your soul.
