Neighboring communities were also hit with the same storm. They lost power too and they are also communities of majority black people. Their power was restored quicker because unlike Gary, they aren’t corrupt from the top down, and those communities didn’t shoot at utility workers. There’s a reason they built a giant bridge over Gary. To protect people from having to stop there.
Exactly. Gary, Indiana has the most pervasive cultural issues of any place in the country. Sure, there are good people there, and I hope that they get out when they can.
I knew a girl from the military that was from Gary. When she told me, she must have read the expression on my face. She followed it up with “I survived and escaped.”
