Festival Trouble in Milwaukee


Milwaukee Festival in Downtown Milwaukee erupted with fighting and gun fire, injuring one and resulting in several arrests. Why is it that it always seems to end up with some idiots ruining the fun for everyone. You can't blame the Police for cracking down on the festivals to insure that they are a safe place to be. The bigger question is what do we do to solve this? Our esteemed Mayor says that they will be working closely with or against the festival organizers. That would be a great move, Mayor!! Work against the organizers? Why not work with the Police, Organizers, and local community leaders to create a safer environment for everyone. We, and I mean the Mayor, needs to remember that this a relative few ruining it for everyone. If the Mayor wants to wave his big stick, get the DA and the Justices in our court system to bring down the big hammer on these thugs. Not just the one with the gun, but all involved in the mayhem. The ones who where fighting, the ones who threw stuff at the police, the idiots. Don't penalize all of us!!
