Oregon District 5th Street is a very popular area.

It is a gun problem!

As gunfire (click here) ripped through America in an unprecedented 24 hours, a bleak milestone in a nation pocked by gun violence was marked: There have been 251 mass shootings in 2019.

The killer knew he was going to kill many people. Did he know his sister was there? Killers have killed family before, the killer in Sandy Hook killed his mother before going to the school.

I reject the idea there are mental health problems, there are plenty of people with the same mental health problems that don't kill.

THESE ARE KILLERS AND THE WHITE SUPREMACISTS ARE NOT HAVING MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS. IVANKA TRUMP IS LAYING COVER FOR HER FATHER'S VOTERS.

THIS IS A GUN PROBLEM! END OF DISCUSSION!

THEY ARE DOMESTIC TERRORISTS AND THEY MAKE PLANS TO KILL. THERE IS NO MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEM.

The responses are excellent, the police are arriving within 5 to 6 minutes. That is consistent across all these mass shootings. They are doing the absolute best they can and they are laying down their own lives when they do respond. It is time to recognize the real problem and that is the guns.

El Paso, Texas (AP) — The shooting (click here) that killed 20 people at a crowded El Paso shopping area will be handled as a domestic terrorism case, federal authorities said Sunday as they weighed hate-crime charges against the gunman that could carry the death penalty....

...The attack on Saturday morning was followed less than a day later by another shooting that claimed nine lives in a nightlife district of Dayton, Ohio. That shooter was killed by police....

The danger to police officers in the USA is ridiculous. There was a time in the USA when the police complained they didn't have 9 mm handguns like the criminals. Today they are wearing body armor and respond to killers with military capacity weapons. The guns are out of control.

Yesterday in El Paso the police that responded involved everyone with the capacity to help. It is out of control.

...Ned Peppers, (click here) which has been near the center of the mass shooting in Dayton early this morning, was a bar previously known as T.B. Hopkins, but was bought in 1994 by James "Jim" Schaefer, who died in late April 2019. Schaefer renamed the bar to Ned Peppers, and connected it to neighboring bar The Hole in the Wall, which he also owned.

Good thing that didn’t happen.(click here) Today’s Oregon District is among the Gem City’s shiniest jewels.

Thanks to the American Planning Association, the nation is finding out what we already knew: Fifth Street is pretty boss.

The organization named Fifth between South Patterson Boulevard and Wayne Avenue to its Great Streets on its annual Great Places in America list.

Third Street in McMinnville, Ore.;  Laura Street in Jacksonville, Fla.; Lexington Avenue in Asheville, N.C.; and Olvera Street in Los Angeles also were honored on the prestigious list.

Oregon District’s Fifth Street one of ‘Top 5’ in U.S.
