I see the Mayor wants to fire the guy after he serves his suspension. I believe that would be double jeapordy. You can suspend him or you can fire him but not both.But hold on, the rules might change here because now a white guy in on the firing line and the Mayor needs to get re-elected.The perp acted like a jerk but he found out Black people don't have a sense of humor in that regard unless they make the joke themselves.

Blacks need to look around and see that it isn't the whites that are racists. As usual they have overreacted and are making a big deal out of nothing. Get a life people.
I have seen every ethnic group go thru some pretty rough times in my lifetime and everyone of those groups worked thru and overcame those obstacles and gained respect on their own and did not need the threat of the Government. That is really pathetic.

Okay, not sure where we are getting comments about life, children, and such when the topic is about the water fountain , but ok … first of all how many children one decides to have should never be used to call the parents names so long as the parents are doing what they should be doing. Second check west valley as they had their share of black students, in time they encountered an issue … need I say more? Next there are good and bad in every race so this isn’t about whos the better race its about whos the better and more mature people? Some people keep their kids off the streets, they work and mind their own business sadly we cant say the same for others.
As far as equal punishment …. Youd be a complete idiot to think we are equal. I know a person in government whom made it perfectly clear that Blacks get more rights in certain areas because they always cry racism … definitely not fair and definitely dirty.
Blacks are not a lost cause as I read from one opinion, sadly some people play dirty, they can cheat the system better then others and that is what it boils down to.
As far as blacks not living in country/rural or suburban areas well that’s a topic on its own because when they move in everyone stands in line to befriend them and they all return to the city … why? Because they say it’s a boring life and they have nothing to do. Thing is in country/rural or suburban areas things are shut down and closed by 9pm and the streets are dead because WE WORK and we don’t have time to hang out or live a 15 year olds life at age 30.

And that is my opinion based on what I have seen

Erie county is one of the most segregated areas in the US. Once you leave the city the black population stops at Pine ridge.
I can count the amount of black kids on one hand that are going to suburb schools , except for West Seneca East because of the
apartments on French Road. Maybe that's a good thing with the way they are shooting each other in the city. Quit having 7 to 10 kids for the sake of free
money and health care and you may be you will able to keep a eye on your kids and get them educated.
'Once you leave the city the black population stops at Pine ridge'.?? Obviously you missed your last eye exam appointment &/or are color blind. I have several white friends who moved from residences on streets that run off Walden Ave less than a block from Harlem Rd,that were once owner occupied by white families mainly of Polish heritage. That is several blocks past Pine Ridge Rd. Take a look at the area now called 'Cedar Grove' which used to be known as the Tiouranda projects. That is on Harlem Rd. That area has been heavily populated by low income blacks for some time, some placed there by the Belmont shelter group. Many of those residences are in very poor condition, not by their faults, thats what they had to move into.
Also in regards to the schools, a friends daughter who went to Cheektowaga Central, graduated from 8th grade in 2007. Her school was close to if not over 50% Black & Hispanic at that time. Any police officer in Cheektowaga will tell you that they are now contending with the 'carry over' from Buffalos East Side. As the original home owners move farther away, their once beautiful homes are being rented out to many Blacks & Hispanics. Don't get me wrong, a lot of those people are good citizens but it only takes a few, along with the 'I don't care attitude' of absentee landlords, to drive the property values down & to bring in the hoodlums to buy their drugs & to rob the defenseless elderly & kids as well as burlarize their homes. Shootings happen anyplace, anytime, anywhere, in the city or suburbs. Also as a former county employee, cash benfits are no longer decide by the number of children a family has. Some one had the right idea, mentioned in the Buffalo News recently saying that the parents of those 'children' arrested for shootings, stabbings, etc, should be held accountable for their childs actions. By the way?? Whatever happened to the "curfew laws' that the City of Buffalo passed a few years back, to keep those young people off the streets late at night? Obviously the city does not have the manpower to enforce it.
