COLUMBUS, OHIO: Muslim crowd of 2,000 turns violent waiting to apply for subsidized apartments
Columbus Police were forced to spray Mace in order to subdue several unruly Muslims. The large crowd had gathered to sign up for a list to get themselves one of 200 government subsidized housing unts being offered at a northwest Columbus apartment complex. 10TV (h/t winterspirit) Police said the crowd started to gather Friday night for the Saturday morning event at The Heritage apartment complex on Gatewood Road near Sunbury Road in northeast Columbus. Residents in the area called police overnight and complained about the noise and number of cars in the neighborhood. According to police, violence broke out when the manager of the complex started to set up for the event just before 7 a.m. Saturday morning. Several individuals were sprayed with Mace by police and treated at the scene by emergency crews.
This is an example of society's lack of respect and disregard for civility. Just because someone is poor or has low income, does not give that person a right to conduct himself or herself in a disrespectful manner.
This is an example of society's lack of respect and disregard for civility. Just because someone is poor or has low income, does not give that person a right to conduct himself or herself in a disrespectful manner. Unfortunately, now, when a minority religion gathers, it seems that all common courtesy goes out the window too. People expect too much from others and are not self reliant. Government is now my daddy. Government subsidies in housing is expected and it looks like people will sell their soul to be dependent upon government. There was violence at a gathering to obtain an application for housing. It was only an application. What's next, fights at a bread line or soup kitchen? Is this the 1930's?
