Neal Boortz: "We Got Too Damn Many Urban Thugs, Yo ... We Need More Dead Thugs" In Atlanta
From the June 14 edition of Cox Radio Syndication's Neal Boortz Show:
BOORTZ: You know what? I, for one, am tired of putting up with this crap. And you want to know why I moved out of Atlanta and only spend a couple of weeks a year in this town? That's one of the reasons. Carjackings, violence, people getting shot. It's ridiculous. This city harbors an urban culture of violence. And I want you to look around. You drive into the city. The railroad overpass is on the downtown connector covered with graffiti. And that-- That is just an advertisement for everybody coming into this town that we really don't give a damn about those who would screw up our quality of life around here. We really just don't care. We don't care enough to paint over graffiti on the overpasses that come into our city, advertising welcome to Atlanta, here's some of our finest graffiti, from some of our finest urban thugs and their little gang signs. And pick up the paper tomorrow morning. Read about all the carjackings. Read about the innocent people shot for the pure de-hell of it.
This town is starting to look like a garbage heap. And we got too damn many urban thugs, yo, ruining the quality of life for everybody. And I'll tell you what it's gonna take. You people, you are - you need to have a gun. You need to have training. You need to know how to use that gun. You need to get a permit to carry that gun. And you do in fact need to carry that gun and we need to see some dead thugs littering the landscape in Atlanta. We need to see the next guy that tries to carjack you shot dead right where he stands. We need more dead thugs in this city. And let their -- let their mommas -- let their mommas say, "He was a good boy. He just fell in with the good crowd." And then lock her ass up.

Please, clarify what an "urban thug" is so we can properly label you. Thanks.
More dog whistle racism from right wingers. This is my shocked face.
And what is that horrid smell?
You get your strawmen together, I'll get my blowtorch.
Well, duh. Anyone who calls themselves a "compassionate conservative" is either a liar or....actually the other option also come down to being a liar
and that is why Boortz is going to round up a bunch of friends, buy some paint and take the bull by the horns!
right neal?
right?
BOTH!! even the FBI
And does that include the Red Neck Thugs? How about the KKK? or The White Citizens Council?
I bet it does not.
I don't think they specialize in carjacking
Neither of the scenarios are palatable, it's a good thing that this is a false dichotomy though.
No, they specialize in house jacking
"Take a loan out against your house and pay it back with low monthly payments (at first, then we'll double the interest rate on you)"
"Please, Mr. Paulson don't lay down rules on how we can use the billions of taxpayer dollars you're giving us"
"Default on your mortgage, and through the TARP funds we were given, our bank will help you refinance"
By the way? Your assertion about who commits crimes is racist, dave.
Boortz himself does not offer any viable solutions to the problem he identifies, thus it's just a racist rant.
I think that's the problem, Neal.
BTW; I agree with the person who said that they were thankful MMFA is paying attention to this guy. You should hear the things that Dennis Miller, yes THAT Dennis Miller, says on his radio show EVERY SINGLE DAY. He is saying, among other things, that climate change is a HUGE waste of time, and that he would prefer to drive around all day in his BMW.
Is this guy seriously advocating a guerilla war on the city streets?
I hope you are kidding. Would you want someone very talented in the art of criminal mischeif painting your garge, car, or dog? And if the thugs chose that lifestyle and end up dead, that's what the Atlanta DOT is for. I bet getting a body off of the pavement will take less time to clean up than graffiti.
So "dead thugs littering the landscape in Atlanta" would be better than graffiti, then? Is that what you're saying? Shooting kids would be less time consuming than cleaning up graffiti, so pack heat? You're one twisted fvck with a very thug-like mindset.
And just like it was with dubya, this kind of talk from this kind of person evokes the image of a gullible, naïve, short-haired white kid who was born on third base but thinks he hit a triple walking through Hurt Village in Memphis, talking trash all the way, not knowing that he's about to die.
I am lucky enough to live several hundred miles from Boortz and his gun. Who knows where he'll point that thing? The rest of you, good luck.
Take out some thugs, Neil. Go ahead. Show us how tough the gunslingin' righties really are.
More than likely, what would happen, is that you wouldn't hit what you were trying to aim at, and probably shoot someone else in the process, wounding or killing an innocent.
