No, I haven’t gone all dippy farm on you.
I’m thinking about this Twitter and/or Facebook organized violent Flash mob at a Milwaukee mall.
Of course, they censor racial information. But I called up the mall’s location on Google maps, then hit up the NYT’s Census Explorer to scan for black census tracts around that mall. And, harrumph harrumph — Milwaukee’s ghettos are a short distance due east of the mall along a major arterial boulevard; I’m guessing there’s a public bus route between the two. There are majority black tracts directly north, and the adjoining single tract south of the tract which contains this mall is majority black.
Then again, this shit isn’t long for this world, at least in the context of Wisconsin. Scott Walker became Governor today. Can you say carry bill? This mall in question is a GGP property, and none of the GGP malls in St. Louis disallow heat-packing. Now, let’s hope that this mall stays off DeadMalls.com long enough for CCW to do it any good.
UPDATE 1/4: This Milwaukee mall already had a “PGR” policy. Look at what good it did.
