Tempe concert went bananas! Will the junk food media call it a riot?
A radio station hosted an end of summer concert and some of the fans bum rushed the stage trampling over each other. In Tempe, Arizona, a large suburban city outside of Phoenix hosted this rock concert.
The local junk food media reports that two minors were taken from the Summer Ends Music Festival with life-threatening injuries.
Tempe's fire department, aided by fire departments in Scottsdale and Phoenix, came to the scene after getting reports that as many as 40 people were hurt at the event after concert-goers began rushing the stage.
Concert promoter Tom LaPenna told the Republic that the plug was pulled on Rebelution's set because of "a medical emergency." LaPenna worked to get the fans to move back and allow the medical professionals access to the area in front of the venue's east stage.
One of the headliners was hip-hop rapper/producer/reality turd Kanye West.
What is clear that people were injured! There were probably fans throwing rocks and bottles at the law. There were fans arrested and medical treatment for people dehydrated in the heat.
Notice the words. Stampede. Why don't they call it a riot!
What is missing out of this event, is the fact this is rioting and the jun food media didn't bother acknowledging it as such!
I watched World News Tonight on ABC and heard about this horrific incident.
The junk food media wa quick to attack rioters at the Hot 97 FM Summerjam Concert in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The agitators were screaming that the unruly Black concert goers were crashing the gates of Met Life Stadium. The fans were screaming and throwing things at the law.
So when will the junk food media spend a portion of its time covering the riot in Tempe?
I mean a bunch of drunk White party goers who got upset over not enough beer, a lack of safety and a lack of water stations.
Man blames The Blacks for shooting his manhood off!
Raw Story seems to get the most interesting stories. The imaginary "Black Guy" once again committed a criminal act upon an innocent White man or woman.
This criminal according to a South Dakota man shot him in the pelvic area.
I mean this guy actually said that he got his balls blown off after a botched robbery. The imaginary "Black Guy" managed to obtain the victim's gun.
Donald Anthony Watson, 43, was admitted to a local emergency room late at night on Sept. 6. His manhood was blown off.
According to the arrest report, Watson said he was shot by “a black guy (who) tried to rob” him while he was taking out the trash at his apartment.
Investigators who went to Watson’s apartment said there was no evidence of a shooting outside, but neighbors told them they heard screaming coming from his apartment earlier in the evening.
After obtaining a search warrant, officer entered his home and found blood, bullet fragments, and an empty gun case.
Pressed by police, Watson admitted that he made the story up and was looking at a handgun he was thinking about buying and placed it in his pocket where it went off, with the bullet hitting his genitals.
Watson — who refused to tell police where the gun disappeared to — has been charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a firearm by a drug offender, and two counts of false reports to law enforcement.
The firearm with disability charge is the one that stings more than getting your dick blown off.
That charge alone carries up to twenty years in the iron college.
When you're a felon and you had in possession methamphetamine, cocaine or heroin, you're automatically banned from obtaining firearms while serving probation. You can't obtain firearms while on probation.
The law sees distribution of those three narcotics as a likely dangerous individual with firearms.
Instead of blaming the man for shooting his penis off, how about we blame Alex Jones, Breitfart, the insurgency (i.e. Tea Party) and that network (i.e. Fox News) for this!
They love to blame BlackLivesMatter for almost everything.
Iranian president Hassan Rouhani will speak at the annual United Nations global leaders summit. He will discuss the nuclear deal. While in the United States, he had an opportunity to talk to CNN. He basically slammed Republicans and conservatives for scaring the world with fanatical rhetoric.
Iranian president Hassan Rouhani wanted to clear the record on the rhetoric being thrown around by the Republicans and their conservative allies in the junk food media. He basically said that Iran isn't the monster the media painted it out to be.
I agree with him.
A country of 80 million people. Out of those 80 million people there's probably a handful of extremists hoping for the deal to fail.
The United States has 321 million people. Out of those 321 million people there's probably 1/3 of the American public who believe that Iran is an "enemy" and the U.S. should engage in war with Iran.
CNN’s Christiane Amanpour asked Rouhani about the current Republican presidential race, specifically with regard to how the candidates are denouncing the Iran nuclear deal.
Rouhani knows a little about American politics. He knows that fear and bigotry exist in the United States. He knows that the Republicans are on the losing side of history. He believes that this deal could broker peace between Iran and the United States.
He didn't singled out the Republican clown car for its "end of days" rhetoric, but the way the party operates.
Rouhani said, “What is spoken of here in the United States of America… [is] quite laughable, it was very strange.” Iranians, he explained, view this “as a form of entertainment.”
The libertarian comedian is turning into an Islamphobe. Bill Maher is agnostic and doesn't support any religion regardless of what it is. He's been very critical recently of Islam.
He believes that the controversy in Irving, Texas was "staged" by activists.
To see this 14 year old teen who had a genius bone get slandered by the likes of Bill Maher, C.J. Pearson, Pam Geller and that old fart Limbaugh should be a reminder of the noise that tries to distract success.
#IStandWithAhmed is a top tending hashtag.
Maher wasn't impressed with the notion of giving Ahmed all this attention. After all, Maher thinks he's ain't a great inventor.
Maher said that liberals need to stop being so politically correct and consider that maybe in a world where young Muslims are making things to blow people up, it doesn’t hurt anyone to be a little cautious.
He said that he just put clock parts into something else and it “looked exactly like a bomb.”
Comedian Dean Obeidallah has called Maher out.
Dean Obeidallah is a comedian and liberal talk radio host who slammed Bill Maher for his hatred of Islam.
Dean Obeidallah is a comedian who has a show on SiriusXM Insight has taken Maher and Pam Geller to task. Dean wants to know why they single out Muslims when there's been a rise in White extremism.
White extremists follow the Christian Identity movement. They believe that Whites are superior and they are justified in the execution of non-White interlopers. Craig Cobb is an example of an extremist that Pam Geller never calls out. They follow the Holy Bible for their guidance of hate.
Maher has but he's so fixated on Muslim teens and the rise of "radical Islam".
After all, the last Muslim teen who built a bomb was.....
I can't remember a Muslim teen ever building a bomb!
Bigotry exist in the United States. Maher isn't afraid of critics slamming him for his stances. I understand that we do have political correctness. It cuts both ways. It's a reason to why Donald Trump is the Republican front runner.
Republicans are proud extremists. They hate holding back their hatred of others who aren't White, male, Christian and rich.
Any thoughts of the controversial stance Maher's taken towards Islam?
You can't fix stupid. Woman got busted riding the back of a sea turtle, an endangered species. The woman and her friend posted their romp on social media.
Two issues that happened over the weekend. Two you can't fix stupid stories for you.
They both involved humans and nature.
Two women thought it would be cool to sit on the back of a sea turtle at a Florida beach. A great night of drinking led to them spotting this turtle on the beach.
Oh, cool! Let's get a picture of it. No crime.
Let's sit on the turtle's back! Let's share that picture on social media. Let's share a real laugh riot!
Well it turns out some of their friends didn't think it funny! The reposted on social media and the law got tipped off. Well their night of fun turned out to be a MAJOR CRIME.
For you see, the women were unaware that sea turtles are threatened species and under federal law, if you are messing with the habitat of the animal, you WILL get arrested.
Brown recluse spiders are one of the most dangerous in the world. The spiders inflict a painless bite that could be deadly.
Stephanie Marie Moore had been wanted on a felony warrant since July for the "possession, disturbance, mutilation, destruction, selling, transference, molestation, and harassment of marine turtles, nests or eggs."
"People can live and play on important sea turtle nesting beaches without significantly affecting nesting success," it says on the conservancy's website. "But it requires a well informed public that is committed to behaving in a manner that doesn't harm nesting turtles or their nests."
Perhaps that is why the Snapchat photos were received so poorly and caused such an outrage, and why Hart said that "eventually, multiple complaints (about the photos) were forwarded to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission."
Moore and another woman took the pictures, police said. That person has not been identified.
Moore was being held on a $2,000 bond in the Brevard County Jail.
It was not clear Saturday whether she had retained a defense attorney, and multiple messages left for family members were not returned.
Man tried to kill spider with a lighter at a gas pump.
Another incident involved a man who had a fear of spiders. This man was a local Mobil gas station in Detroit. He saw the spider on the gas pump. He decides to grab a lighter out of his car and try to burn it off.
Turns out that he didn't think gasoline was combustible and flammable.
The gas station attendants quickly hit the emergency stop button. The man used the fire extinguisher to put out the fire. The man got a few mild burns. He managed to escape serious injury.
I mean his ride was burned. The pump was burned. The gas station will sue him for property damage.
He at first tried to blame the gas station for the fire. But when he was caught on camera using a lighter near his ride, he would admit he fucked up!
He claims that he didn't think that his lighter would cause such a mess. I mean he hated spiders.
Rep. Peter King (R-NY) said that the "crazies" are running the Republican Party.
The New York Republican is not mincing words to the shocking announcement of Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) stepping down as Speaker of The House in October.
He said that the Weeper of the House gave Republicans everything. They can't pass laws when the Democrats block them. And knowing you can't get everything you want, the insurgency refuses to concede.
The insurgency pissed Boehner off. He gave them the finger. On his way out, he said behind closed doors "Fuck all of ya. I'm out! Good luck on getting your agenda accomplished with Obama!"
Basically the departure of the Weeper is a good/bad thing. For my community, a really bad thing. Boehner, despite his blubbering and immature outburst is really popular in the Dayton and Cincinnati metro area. His departure left a seat open for an insurgent or Democrat to take. It's unlikely a Democrat could win a politically Republican district. The 8th U.S. Congressional District for Ohio is +14 Republican.
The good is Republicans can finally push their extremist agenda and eventually be uprooted out of power.
New blood is bad blood. Already controversy within leadership. Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA, Majority Whip) had once worked with former Klan leader David Duke. The potential Speaker, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA, Majority Leader) will face obstruction from not only Democrats but the insurgency. Current House Speaker, Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) bouncing out in October.
At the Voter's Value Summit, as Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) delivered the news, the audience stood up and done backflips.
We can confirm that the civil war within the party gotten even uglier.
Rep. Peter King (R-NY) went off on the insurgency. “I think it signals the crazies have taken over the party, taken over to the party that you can remove a speaker of the House who’s second in line to be president, a constitutional officer in the middle of his term with no allegations of impropriety, a person who’s honest and doing his job. This has never happened before in our country," King said in an interview with CNN's Dana Bash on Friday. "He could have stayed on.”
Many of Boehner's allies have long complained about things not getting done because of a handful of insurgents who refuse to compromise.
House Weeper John Boehner (R-OH) once called Rep. Peter King (R-NY) a "shit head".
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is currently the Majority Leader. He may become the new Speaker.
He will face challenges from the insurgency. Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and a handful insurgents vow to disrupt the new speaker if Obamacare isn't repealed or Planned Parenthood defunded.
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is shaking her head. She was once a Speaker of the House.
Pelosi managed to get things done despite having the insurgency oppose her. She would be sent to the minority after the Republicans recaptured the House.
President Barack Obama has also spoke out to the news. He said that the party's internal struggles are the reasons to why government isn't working. Obama praised Boehner as a patriot.
Cop loses badge after feds bust him with kiddie porn.
Child porn is a federal crime. It can land you in federal time out for LIFE. If you take a plea deal, you will serve a mandatory 10 year sentence. It can be bumped high if the victim was engaged with the suspect in the manufacturing, disturbing and possession of child porn.
The law can label you a TIER III sex offender for LIFE. Tier III, sex offenders are often considered an extreme danger around children. They are forbidden from being around children, schools, places where children or women go, clubs, and public venues that have children. You lose all rights to electronics devices (i.e. smart phones, tablets or flash drives). Your television and radio may be blocked (or even taken away). You may be banned from watching or listening to channels that may have women, children or even animals on. The law may even take away books, magazines and publications that have children or women in it. A sexual offender must report to a local sheriff's office every time they move or face time in the iron college (or federal time out). Tier III is the most severe punishment for any sexual offender convicted of a crime. It is basically a government sanction quarantine from the public.
Any persons under 18 engaged in exposing themselves for sexual pleasure is CHILD PORN. That includes teenagers sexting one another and explicitly sharing pictures of a teenager's genitalia.
Any individual who is engaged in sexual assault of a minor in the United States or overseas will face criminal charges.
The U.S. Justice Department, Homeland Security and INTERPOL run this operation 24/7. They will find you and they will arrest those who engage in child porn or sexual contact with minors.
Okay, Florida.
The state of sunny HELL once again is in the news. Michael Harding won't be collecting a police pension. He may face twenty in federal time out. The former Port St. Lucie officer is nabbed by the feds after he was bragging about his massive collection of "hot girls".
The "hot girls" were minors under the age of 13.
Harding was once a "police officer of the year".
The ex-officer, age 27 who went by the name “desthfromabovee,” was using his cell phone to post pictures in the group while he was on duty.
He had the cache of goodies on a thumb drive that he hid in the back of his gun safe. The feds use electronic detection dogs to find the hidden areas.
Harding, who is married with three children, has never had any disciplinary action against him. To the outside world, he was an amazing police officer who has received multiple accolades, including “2011 Police Officer of the Year.” The officer was not released on bond and has another court date on September 30.
Of course, the chief of Port St. Lucie Police fired him out the cannon. The feds are making sure Harding doesn't tie the bed sheets into a noose. They want him good and healthy when he stands trial.
Bystanders capture the moment when Wilmington, Delaware police put down an unarmed man in a wheelchair.
The U.S. Justice Department along with Delaware State Attorney General and the State Police are investigating the death of an unarmed suspect killed by the law.
Jeremy McDole was a 28 year old man who was paralyzed from the waist down.
Wilmington Police released a statement backing the officers involved in the shooting death of Jeremy. According to the law, there was a report of a man with a gun in the area near a nursing home.
The law engaged in contact with the suspect. The suspect didn't raise his hands and reached into his pocket. He was shot multiple times by three officers. One officer render aid to the suspect.
Of course, there's a video that surfaced on the internet. The video shows one of the officers with a double barrel shotgun pointing directly at Jeremy. The officer yells for compliance and Jeremy ignores the order.
Be warned, this video is extremely graphic.
The NAACP and the family are calling upon the state prosecutor and U.S. Justice Department to look into the matter of how this tragedy occurred.
Junk food media show mugshot of Jeremy McDole.
The officers are in the freezer pending an investigation into handling of the situation. Of course, they will have to lawyer up and have a damn good police union release "damming information" about Jeremy to sway the public into believing his death was justified. The police unions are ready to blame Black Lives Matter and President Barack Obama for an officer's reckless call.
The family disputes the law's talking points of the suspect having a firearm in possession. Big freaking deal! Whether he had a firearm or not, the law can't just put you down for having a weapon in public. There's no law on the books that says that you're not allow to have a firearm in public.
Since DC v. Heller, many gun owners (i.e. White men) often walk the streets and public places with firearms. They don't get shot on sight. Only Black, Hispanic or practicing Muslims get shot on sight.
The family said that Jeremy didn't own a weapon. His mother Phyllis didn't mince words, she basically said this was a cold blooded murder.
He shot my son like he was roadkill,” says Phyllis McDole.
“He wasn’t bothering anybody. He didn’t have a weapon or anything. They shot my son so much he fell out of the wheelchair. He fell out the chair and on the ground. He wasn’t armed. He didn’t have a gun. He died by himself. He died alone.”
“I raised my son to be a good kid. He wasn’t a troublemaker. Every day he came here at 12 o’clock and took his nephew to the store to get water ice. What am I supposed to tell his nephew tomorrow when he doesn’t come to take him to get a water ice?”
Addicting Info is one of my favorite blogs. They counted the record number of police involved shootings that result in the death of a suspect. It's close to 875 this year alone. A fraction of those suspects killed were unarmed and not under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
They shot my son like he was a dying animal. - Phyllis McDole, the mother of Jeremy McDole.
Blacks are killed by law enforcement five times more than Whites.
And our friends in the racist right believe that we justify hatred of cops. They believe that we're not focused on gun crimes in Black communities (i.e. Black on Black crime).
The junk food media often runs a mugshot of the victim. They often release glaring photos of the indicted cop and/or vigilante. The concern trolls would dig into the social media to unearth embarrassing or incriminating things to discredit the family's account. Agitators such as that annoying conservative agitator would gather a talking point and stick to it regardless of it being either discredited or half-true. Then the agitators in the conservative media would react as predictable to President Barack Obama's belief that Black men fear the law more than terrorism.
Behind the scenes the state or city would shelve out damage royalties to the family if they believe the officer's call was reckless.
They don't take fault in the death of an unarmed suspect. Paying off families the victims eases the pressure of having an Al Sharpton presence or an economic boycott.
That's why #BlackLivesMatter exist. Far too many people are killed at the hands of reckless cops.
No one wishes death on law enforcement. But assured that being a cop is dangerous. To the racist right, an innocent Black motorist or an unarmed Black suspect is just about as dangerous as being being a cop.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Jeremy McDole.
Carnival barker bitches about White House ignoring him.
President Barack Obama is pretty damn good when it comes to social media. As the leader of the free world, he has to stay relevant by following social trends. The president won over young voters by staying connected to social media.
As president, he can't do too much social media activities. The U.S. Secret Service and his staffers are watching social media daily. They watch for threats on the president's life. The staffers sometimes post for him whenever he's not online. Anytime the president post online, he would use his full name or the initials BO.
His critics often troll his social media pages. They would post offensive or ignorant comments online.
The president's staff will filter out the most outrageous comments. They will inform the U.S. Secret Service whenever a potential threat is issued.
The president doesn't worry too much about critics. He often ignores carnival barkers.
The president has more important things to do than worry about a turd in the toilet.
There's a carnival barker who is one of the youngest agitators in the junk food media.
C.J. Pearson is a Georgia teen who rose to fame slamming the president on his patriotism. He's a Black conservative who publish YouTube videos quite frequently.
The most recent video is Pearson's attack on Ahmed Mohamed, the teen who was arrested for bring in a homemade clock to his Irving middle school.
Today, Pearson was bitching about being "silenced" by President Barack Obama.
My response to the White House calling me a liar.
Posted by CJ Pearson on Wednesday, September 23, 2015
Pearson trolls the president's official account. The president has 4.43 million followers. Pearson is a speck. Pearson has over 45,000 followers.
He waits for a response to the president. No answer. So when gets no answer, he goes to social media to say that the president "banned" him.
The White House does not ban followers or critics. The White House quickly rebutted Pearson's claims. Even conservative agitators from The Blaze question the accusations from Pearson.
You know I bet you money Malia and Sasha could whoop this little nerd's ass! This nerd is talking shit about their dad.
Weeper of the House resigns in late October. Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) resigning from Congress sent shock waves across the nation
Today, the Ohio lawmaker informed President Barack Obama and his Republican colleagues that he's resigning as House Speaker. He also will end as a term as a congressman in October. This cause a ripple effect in Washington.
With the most powerful Republican stepping aside, this assures a civil war within the party.
Republicans are solely responsible if they stand firm and shut down the government again.
Boehner blames the conservative agitators in the junk food media as well as them knucklehead insurgents for things not getting done. Some of the rational members are signaling a rebuke to the insurgents.
Boehner's abrupt resignation was quick. He faced pressure from conservative members to take a tougher stance against the president. The Republicans want to defund Planned Parenthood. It's highly unlikely the Republicans got the votes to defund the women's health group.
Weeper John Boehner (R-OH) was emotional during Pope Francis's visit to the Capitol. He was routinely mocked for being a "crybaby" and his glowing "orange tans".
Boehner who was reelected last year won easily in his district. The 8th Congressional District is based in Southwestern Ohio. The 8th district covers West Chester, Eaton, Oxford, Hamilton, Middletown, Troy, Piqua, Huber Heights, western Springfield and Greenville.
He also faced a challenge for his House Speaker role by knucklehead insurgents Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) and Rep. Dan Webster (R-FL).
He also watch his right hand man face an embarrassing defeat. Eric Cantor, Boehner's right hand man was defeated by an insurgent disrupting the chain of command. Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) quickly became the Majority House Leader.
Now you know how I feel, Mr. Speaker.
McCarthy is considering the possibility of being the House Speaker. No confirmation yet.
Boehner lives in West Chester. He's been a lawmaker since 1991. He was a the minority leader from 2007 to 2011. Boehner became the House Speaker in 2011 after the Republicans took control over the House of Representatives.
He released a press release to the reason why he's resigning.
"The first job of any Speaker is to protect this institution that we all love. It was my plan to only serve as Speaker until the end of last year, but I stayed on to provide continuity to the Republican Conference and the House," Boehner said in a statement. "It is my view, however, that prolonged leadership turmoil would do irreparable damage to the institution. To that end, I will resign the Speakership and my seat in Congress on October 30."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) praised Boehner on the Senate floor Friday.
“He is an ally. He is a friend. And he took over as Republican leader at a difficult time for his party," he said.
Boehner's supporters and the top Democratic leaders complained that Republicans are too goddamn extreme. Minority Leaders Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Harry Reid (D-NV) are praising Boehner for at least putting up with such obstruction. But quickly said that a government shutdown is coming and they warn that the ripple effects could hurt the nation.
Reid is retiring from the Senate. He cites his eye injury and Republican obstruction for his departure.
"By ousting a good man like Weeper Boehner -- someone who understood the art of compromise -- the party of Eisenhower and Reagan is no more," he said.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called Boehner's resignation "seismic," adding that it was "a stark indication of the disarray of the House Republicans."
Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) said that Boehner had resigned because he knew that he could lose his position.
"There's no question conservatives had a victory here," he said. Huelskamp is a member of the House Freedom Caucus, the group that was trying to oust Boehner.
But Rep. John Shimkus (R-IL) said that Boehner was sacrificing his position for the good of the conference.
"I think that following the pope's visit -- this is sacrificial love on his behalf to strengthen the Republican conference. It's really amazing and unheard of in modern-day politics," he said.
Across town, a group of social conservatives were gathered for the start of the annual Values Voter Summit, where dozens of politicians were scheduled to speak over the next few days. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) delivered the news of Boehner's resignation to the summit to huge cheers and a standing ovation from attendees, underscoring the opposition Boehner often faced from within his own party.
Asked about the resignation, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) skipped over the pleasantries and went straight to criticizing Boehner -- without naming him -- and McConnell for making promises to conservatives and not keeping them. Cruz is running for the Republican nomination. He is a relatively unaccomplished politico. He is cited as one of the reasons to why Republicans are too extreme.
Friends to the end. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) lose two allies.
"I have long said leadership decisions are decisions to be made by the House, but I have also long called on Republican leadership to do something unusual, which is lead,” Cruz said at a press conference hosted by Liberty Institute. “To actually stand up and honor the commitments that we made to the American people. There’s a frustration across this country. It is volcanic. And it’s not complicated to understand.”
Cruz did not give a yes or no answer when asked whether McConnell should step down as well, saying it is "a question for Leader McConnell and for the Republican conference." He said he would "sing their praises," though, if they stood up to lead, referring to Boehner and McConnell.
Twice during a nearly two-hour meeting between Boehner and Republicans at the Capitol on Friday applause could be heard from inside the room.
Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) came out teary-eyed and started choking up when asked what he thought of Boehner's resignation. Cramer said that Boehner recited the prayer of Saint Francis when announcing his resignation to House Republicans Friday morning.
"It's kind of like the announcement of a death," Cramer said.
"A lot of really small people look smaller, and he looks bigger," he said. "And why not, why not let the guy who's always taken all the slings and arrows for us, take it one more time."
Rep. John Flemming (R-LA) said Boehner played his decision close to his vest and that even Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) didn't know about it until the announcement.
Boehner had been scheduled to speak with reporters Friday morning after meeting with Republicans, but left the meeting by a back door and didn't talk to the press.
The Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority wants to expand into other communities.
About a few years ago, Beavercreek, Ohio was under intense pressure from local riders and the federal government to advocate public transit to its community. Beavercreek residents and city leaders were opposed to the bus line coming to the area.
The staunchly conservative suburb outside of Dayton, fought hard to keep the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority (RTA) from making stops near The Mall at Fairfield Commons.
The U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Highway Administration gave the suburb an ultimatum. The city better get a bus line out there or else lose federal funding for projects vital to the suburb.
Beavercreek city leaders approved the proposal and RTA managed to get a bus line out by the mall and Soin Medical Center.
Route 1 was rerouted in 2014. It was once a trolleybus route. Now it serves as a semi-county route. It begins at a layover loop in the census designated community of Drexel. It travels through U.S. Highway 35 for a brief moment. The bus passes through the junction where U.S. 35 meets Ohio State Route 49. Once it passes the junction, the bus travels east on Third Street, Dayton's dividing road.
Once it enters the city of Dayton, it goes to the Westown Transit Center and through Roosevelt-Westwood neighborhood. It also travel through the Dayton Aviation Historical National Park before it travels across the Dayton Peace Bridge. For a few miles it's also called Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway. Some segments of Third Street are dedicated to the slain civil rights leader. It also passes through the Dayton and RTA Cultural Arts Center before it heads toward downtown.
The bus travels through downtown. It passes through Sinclair Community College, the Canary district and Springfield neighborhood. It passes through Riverside and Wright Patterson Air Force Base. It enters Greene County where it runs a concurrent route pattern. One bus will go clockwise through Beavercreek and briefly through Fairborn towards Wright State University. The other bus will go counter clockwise through Pentagon Boulevard toward the Soin Medical Center and The Mall at Fairfield Commons. The bus terminates on Colonial Glenn Highway near the Wright State University campus. The road is devoted to U.S. astronaut and former senator John Glenn.
I've read the Dayton Daily News comment section. I've seen some of the most vile and racist word vomit from residents here complaining about how the ni663rs took the Salem Mall down. The concern trolls were complaining about the Dayton Mall being the hub of Get-Toe B'havior.
When the John Crawford shooting occurred in August 2014, many residents blamed the bus line for the shooting. They didn't find fault in the reckless call committed by Officer Sean Williams.
The concern trolls were saying that the bus line near the Mall at Fairfield Commons would turn the shopping center into a Z00.
So far, I've haven't heard much about unruly behavior at the bus stops. I mean there's only three measly bus stops near the Mall at Fairfield Commons. How many people actually ride that bus?
Dayton during the construction phase. Interstate 75 is being reworked through downtown. Beavercreek is six miles from downtown Dayton.
You have to wait at least 120 minutes to catch a bus.
The Greater Dayton RTA rallied for the next phase in its growth. They want to extend two routes to The Greene.
The Greene is close to celebrating 10 years in business. The shopping mall located in Beavercreek and Kettering is an outdoor mixed retail and housing center that gives residents a "downtown" shopping experience. RTA wants to be a part of the celebration. The owners of The Greene and RTA propose a bus stop located near the movie theater. The city leaders of Beavercreek are signalling approval of the bus line.
There are two buses that run near the mall.
Route 11 is county route that follows in a semi-circular path. Route 11 begins at Woodman Drive near Patterson Road. It travels towards the suburb of Riverside, the Eastown Transit Center and through the Wright Patterson Air Force Base before it heads towards Dayton. It covers the city of Oakwood, and a majority of Kettering. It passes through the Kettering Medical Center and Town & Country Shopping Center. The route terminates near the Kettering Recreation Center. The route passes near The Greene.
The Greene.
Route 12 is a local route that covers Kettering and the Five Oaks neighborhood. The route begins at the Good Samartian Hospital after a brief travel towards Northwest Plaza in Dayton. The route goes through Five Oaks and Upper Riverdale Neighborhood. It also passes through the McPherson neighborhood and the Dayton Art Institute. It goes through downtown and the Oregon Entertainment District. It follows a southwestern path towards Kettering. It passes near The Greene.
RTA is hoping to expand services into Miami, Greene, Warren County, Butler County, and extend their bus service to 2 am.
The bus company now has buses that serve The Austin Landing shopping complex, The Dayton Mall, The Mall at Fairfield Commons, the Dayton International Airport and Wright State University.
Dayton is the smallest city to still have trolleybuses. Out of five cities, Dayton is the smallest city to have overhead trolley wiring and bio-flex diesel trolleys.
Seattle, Boston, San Francisco and Philadelphia have trolleybuses that serve commuters. These cities have subways, light rail transit, commuter rail and ferries. Dayton doesn't have subways, light rail or commuter rail or ferries.
Any thoughts on RTA's decision to expand its bus lines?
