You want hear this from me very often, without sarcasm at
least, but I love this story.
As you know, I live across the river from Saint Louis, a
city that is RAPIDLY becoming the murder capital of the nation. This is due, in large part, because both the
county and city prosecutor refuse to do their jobs, preferring instead to ham
string the cops in favor of the victim.
This is especially destructive because both prosecutors are black, and
most of the murder victims are black. I’ll
be honest, I don’t get the nearly genocidal level of ignorance over there. The northern part of the city and county is
particularly bad for crime in general and murders in particular. And it is sad….it really is, that modern
society will put up with this.
But amid the chaos, you get a story like this. A woman that, from her own pocket, and with
some donations, provides snacks for 100 or more kids a day. I find it disgraceful that something like
this is needed, but I find it exceptional that someone notices and rises to the
challenge. This woman is in North
County, which is a little less dangerous than Afghanistan, and does this on her
own.
And listen, I do not understand hunger……Yes, I have been
hungry to the extent that I wanted a hamburger, but true hunger I have never
experienced; and I have been in some pretty shitty places in some pretty shitty
conditions. I think that, in this
nation, if kids are going hungry, there is a MAJOR issue in the family. We can blame it on whatever we want too, I
know there are areas of inner city crapholes with no grocery stores (at some
point they get tired of being shot up and move away), but if you have children
and you let them go hungry, you need your ass handed to you, DAILY. ESPECIALLY since our tax dollars now feed
most kids two to three meals a day. It
should be an embarrassment to the city that this woman has the strength to pay
out of her pocket for over 100 kids to have snacks after school.
But God Bless her.
But let me tell you what will happen, now that this story
is public.
City officials will go to her house and shut her down.
Trust me.
Love that there are still people with big hearts and common sense. Sad that her help is needed.
