Must be an inner-city thing. I understand the idea behind this but, frankly, I think leaving your empties on a memorial is damn rude.  Ain't nobody flowed like fop RIP | |||

The best I ever saw was in Kansas City. "Joe Smith" died and his memorial was in a bar. The announcement in the paper said it was at "XYZ"bar, and the first 10k of bar tab was covered by his estate. It was well attended, including by me. I actually knew him. | |||

Late last year, there was a single-car crash where a car load of teenagers went off the road and struck a large tree immediately adjacent to the roadway and burst into flames killing three of the teens and injuring two more. The site quickly became a very large roadside memorial with items surrounding the tree and also placed on and around the trunk and extending 3-4' upward. There were many candles ringing the tree and it was not unusual to see groups of 20 or more of the victims high school classmates and family members milling around the tree. Some even brought lawn chairs. It must have become a concern that the close proximity of the memorial to the roadway could present a sufficient enough distraction to passing drivers to the point that another tragedy may occur because after a time, the entire tree was cut down, its stump was ground up and all memorial items were removed. | |||

Those monikers in certain cultures are as important to the “dindu’s” as monikers like “Plato,” “Homer,” and “Socrates” may be to us. Remember it is our lack of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Cultural Sensitivity that we can’t appreciate empty cheap liquor bottles, drug paraphernalia and stuffed animals as a lasting tribute to such an inspiring and influential character. A signal of our privilege and racist attitudes that we need to make reparations for; or a notice to call public works to bring a street sweeper and remove the garbage from a public way. | |||

I view them as a social malady. In America when 20 people gather together for whatever basic reason, There will be ten people with three to five reasons to be there. It's no different than church gatherings, pep rally's , Office pot lucks, save the planet rally's Political gatherings , The walks for this disease or that medical condition. There's never a single reason why Americans bunch up together. Of the 90,00 football fans that jamb in to a stadium , you are going to find many many reasons why people feel the need to be in amongst many others. More than a few are mental related. Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency. Neck Ties, Hats and ammo brass, Never ,ever touch'em w/o asking first | |||

Hopefully when the street sweeper rolls by, it gets the 2 legged garbage as well. ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.
