  1. The neighborhood I grew up in was a decent place when I was a kid. It wasn't perfect or even idyllic, but you could play outside, walk to school, and nobody had bars on their windows. Then, when I reached my teens, it started to turn. It went from bikes getting stolen to cars, from shoplifting to armed robbery, from someone getting beat up now and again to people getting killed. The businesses responded to the new reality. First it was keeping a weapon behind the counter, then the bulletproof glass came up, finally, they just left because trying to conduct business in an ugly place as Matt put it just ain't profitable. And that is what will happen there. It's not a matter of if, just when. In my neighborhood they blamed it on racism. They said there were no grocers because Kroger and other chains were racist. No mention of the fact that half the merchandise was walking out the door prior to the stores all leaving. Nobody stays in a sh*tbox unless they like the smell of sh*t and there are a lot of people, dope addicts, prostitutes, thieves, who like the smell. A lot of people on the street have mental issues but you'd be surprised, if you ever took the time to ask, to find out how many are there because they like it. A pastor once told me nobody is in Hell who doesn't want to be there. I thought that was nonsense at first. But the more I looked around and considered the human condition, how broken we are, the more it made sense. There are people who prefer wicked to righteous, evil to good. Why would they change simply because they passed over to the other side? Here's the thing, right now it's the normies leaving hellholes like Kalifornia and New York. What happens when the lefties wake up and decide they want to move too? Are they gonna come down here to Florida where we have turned a corner and we end up with a socialist mayor of a small town who likes sniffing coke off male hookers asses in the Governor's office? Because we already looked out over that abyss. We came within 40,000 votes of having just that in 2018. Please, by all that is good, decent, and holy, I beg my lefty brothers and sisters. Stay put. Fix your neighborhoods. Deal with your sh*t. But please, I beg you, leave us alone. You do you, we'll do us, don't start nothin, won't be nothin. THAT is my Christmas in July wish.
