The Gated Community Mentality
By RICH BENJAMIN
Published: March 29, 2012
AS a black man who has been mugged at gunpoint by a black teenager late at night, I am not naïve: I know firsthand the awkward conundrums surrounding race, fear and crime. Trayvon Martin’s killing at the hands of George Zimmerman baffles this nation. While the youth’s supporters declare in solidarity “We are all Trayvon,†the question is raised, to what extent is the United States also all George Zimmerman?
Under assault, I didn’t dream of harming my teenage assailant, let alone taking his life.
Mr. Zimmerman reacted very differently, taking out his handgun and shooting the youth in cold blood.
What gives?
Welcome to gate-minded America.

Now just for illustration let's take a quick look at a typical Gated Enclave. One that, oh say, the Zimmermans might live in...

Now, just down the street is the ONLY and Gated entrance to this type of exclusive neighborhood. Notice also that they have cleverly hidden the guard shack for their heavily armed Hispanic security personnel.

Now I've chosen these GoogleMap photos totally at random but I'm sure they represent the absolute Blight on the landscape that these dreaded GATED COMMUNITIES have become.
Kpete, I give you a big THUMBS UP for bringing this disgrace to the worlds attention.

Under assault, my goal is to make sure I walk away from it. If my "assailant" does as well, good. If he doesn't, good.
My concern, when I am being attacked, is the preservation of my own life and property without the first concern of the safety of the DUmbass that made a conscious decision to attempt to harm me and relieve me of the things for which I have labored. Protection of self and property is enshrined in the Constitution and you can be damn sure, DUmmie sheep, that I will exercise that right against any obama voter who seeks to deprive me of both.
This author, and richie rich bitch kpete, are nothing but ****ing sheep waiting to be sheered. Hoodlums won't think twice bout fleecing their asses.

Whimpy, bleeding heart liberals...you should serve on a jury with a couple of them. Be it criminal or civil, they want to give away the world. You can't reason with them but you can wear them down. :-)

Trayvon Martin’s killing at the hands of George Zimmerman baffles this nation.
Hmm, not really. Zimmerman, a homeowner, is concerned and watching out for his community due to crime. He observes someone he doesn't know snooping around. He starts walking in that direction to give the cops details on the location. He turns back and heads towards his truck. "Tray'vawn" approaches him, has words with him, and decks him, knocking him to the ground. He then proceeds to get on top of him and beat him senselessly, slamming his head into the concrete. Zimmerman, fearing for his life, pulls out his firearm and drops the thug, DRT.
Had it been me, I'd have ran out of ammo.

obey
3. Maybe it's time to Occupy the gated communities
them 1%ers can get a taste of the terror, from behind their walls, that Trayvon must have felt. (They can camp on the green belts and bath in all them swimming pools)
Doesn't kpete live in a gated community?

Yeah, but there's probably lots and lots of primitives who live in gated communities, but they don't say so because they want to preserve their faux credentials as being just another everyman.

That's for damn sure! he'd have a helluva lot more holes in 'im than just one!
I like to come home to "Toots" every night!

Come get some idiot! You'll end up right along side LunchTray! Who the hell names their kid Trayvon anyway?

I would think if they were being honest about their beliefs that they'd demand something like affordable housing in gated communities.

And housing that has diversity, too.
Like the sparkling old dude's neighborhood; that's not gated, but it looks as if only the rich can live there.

Totally, maybe something like affirmative action mortgages for gated communities, diverse the neighborhoods up. I would think someone who espouses the ideology of the left would welcome something like that.

Is this a mole, poking gentle fun at Nadin?
Hey Kpete, tell your neighbor over there on the corner of Butterfield Trail and Antelope Street that their landscaping looks gawd-awful. They need to ship a crew of Mexicans in there and get the place spiffied up.

Well, ol' Mike aspires to wealth, and would like to give his fellow DUmpmonkeys the impression he's loaded, but that would describe dozens of DUmmies.
No doubt, during courtship he deceived Sparkly M on that point. She must have been devastated to learn the truth, what with how she considers herself to be so sophisticated and high society.
But where I come from, wealthy folks don't live cheek-by-jowl with their neighbors on little half-acre lots, in cramped 2500 sq. ft. homes, unless they're in the Manhattan hellhole.
Now, the squatter may be sitting on an enormous portfolio and fabulous wealth, but it seems unlikely, and for sure isn't reflected in his living arrangements, nor his claimed occupation.
Maybe his caporegime insists on a low profile lifestyle.

Wanna talk about cramped, we built a 3500 Sq Ft home on .27 of an acre as an investment. When the Kenyan came into power, it was appraised at 480K. Now, 375K. Dude gots to go.

They do insist that.

And they're also very zealous about protecting their women from the vicissitudes of life, such sparing them a life of living among the diverse. Never mind about any other women; only their women.

Didn't Bwaney Fwank and Criss Dodd already do that? Then O'Bummer tried to bail those out who never intended to pay for their house in the first place!

AR, that short of shit really gets my goat. My wife and I are in the market for a townhouse in our area (that should tell you all about the local political landscape), and we think we might have a good one. We would never think of defaulting. Those that did, and just walked away thinking, "Oh well--it's not my fault," should be beaten within a millimeter of their lives. We have an excellent credit rating (I was shocked!), and I won't let soomething stupid derail that. Matter of fact, the guy at the mortgage place that we're using told me, "If more people over the last two to three years thought like you do, we wouldn't be in this mortgage mess now."

Ironic.
