Ohh La, Las Vegas Pt 3.

As you travel out of the city into other parts of Vegas, you can see below...tents cities. I can't think of anything more unfortunate then having to live in one of these tents in 90+ degree heat. Nevada is a dry, rocky arid place.

I hope the police will not roust these people out of the areas, it just a part you don't see in the strip of Las Vegas. You can't fault the casinos too much after all, there are some places you can go in , in Vegas where you can get free drinks, (Beer, Lemonade, Water) for just sitting down and playing some of there machines. With just alittle money , playing on the Poker machines I was able to at least double my money in a short time. Some of these tent people might find alittle respite in some of those places, maybe even a job.







There is a dark side to Vegas, maybe it underlies there politics there. Las Vegas was founded on the adventurism of some serious gangsters. Is it basically "Mob rules" there in Vegas despite all the modern trappings of a modern city?

While I was staying there,there was this story in the local news, about a young cop (African-American) in Las Vegas, who got killed in his car in a traffic accident, when a civilian.... "broadsided" his car him while the officer was on an emergency call.


Metro Police Officer James Manor

The guy who broadsided him, was intoxicated, but below legal liability( alleged), plus the "authorities" who were investigating the accident say that the officer, didn't have on his siren and lights in response to an emergency call, thus the accident was the officers fault. No charges were placed on the assailant. That how there where doing the story in Vegas. It was the officers fault....The officer had been on the force for only two years.

What a great way to "whack " a cop. Like some kind of a Casino game! Come to Vegas to whack a cop, especially a Black cop. No wonder the cops are reported to be real tough in Vegas they have to be. If your a cop and black in Vegas the message is..they'll kill you quick, especially if your Black. It reminded me of that "Ye olde" racism,where it "your fault"! I got alittle itchy to get out of Vegas after hearing that story. Back to the Bay Area, where here, we had an ex-parolee ,fresh out of prison, "whack" four cops, and an over-zealous ( B.A.R.T) officer whacked one passenger, while he was on the ground handcuffed. Life is so good in Vegas.

Earlier and later in the month.. Barack Obama debuted in Vegas... Who's is that guys handler.
