Jesus f Christ... Great article but what a terrible thing that happened

Many brainwashed, mentally ill individuals are ready to repeat this. They even claim to be morally superior because they claim to be religious.

It’s unreal, the patients are trying to take over the mental institution.

@PugJesus I thought I replied to this earlier but I guess it didn't stick. I'll try to recall: Great article and really shows the devastation between what was there before and the aftermath that is this photo. They basically destroyed and erased part of their community; the black part of their community.

I walked those burned-out streets in the late 80s. We walked that land, stunned by the concrete outlines of foundations and streets. I'll stop there because I don't have words.

I thought "race massacre" meant a mass shooting at a horse race or something. Bloody hell.
