Milwaukee Founders Day Gala and a Dead Man


From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
A 23-year-old man was fatally shot this afternoon outside the Citgo gas station at 4811 N. Teutonia Ave., Milwaukee police said.

Capt. Gregory Habeck said the victim had just arrived at the station around 12:50 when an unknown suspect approached his car with a gun. The two struggled, and the victim was shot.

Police are searching for a maroon Oldsmobile Delta 88, with two male suspects inside, though Habeck said that description could change.

It was last seen fleeing southbound on Teutonia.

Murder on a Saturday afternoon, broad daylight, at a gas station.

Then you have both Democrat candidates running for president of the United States speaking at the Founders Day Gala tonight in Milwaukee. They're addressing the party faithful and anyone else willing to fork over $100.

All the rallies and the dinners and the schmoozing are in a completely different world. It's another planet.

Did Hillary or Obama address the struggle at the Citgo station, the murder of a man at 12:50 in the afternoon in Milwaukee?

They probably didn't know it happened. Do they know what a mess the city of Milwaukee is?

I think they have nothing but votes on the brain.

Politics is really so detached from people's lives.

Right now, an Obama ad is on TV. He's talking about the divide between Wall Street and Main Street.

There's also quite a divide between the Founders Day Gala at the Midwest Airlines Center and the Citgo station at 4811 N. Teutonia Ave.
