Each one of these people are only talking about what their plans were and the money that they need to make. Sad.

These are RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS OWNERS. They are making A LIVING for their families. C'mon.

Only freaking Akron news would have an anchor say the word “aks” 😂😂

I hope they don't "ax" the mayor. They could really do some damage to him!! 😂😂😂😂

Good for the mayor, he is protecting his police officers from further danger.

So when is there going to be a holiday and celebrations commemorating the end of Irish slavery in America?

[@knuke9596]

When was that? Indentured servitude was temporary and was not slavery!

[@bbarns6431]

We celebrate it every year on July 4th

[@jenniferbanda5149]

Fun fact: Irish children were sent to Jamaica as slaves. A lot of Jamaicans have Irish roots❤

[@knuke9596]

@@jenniferbanda5149 nutty said Irish slavery in America. Which didn't exist.

Go to hell, loser.

[@grammadee94]

Blah blah blah

[@protagonist1358]

Before I make this comment, I love my people. But let's be realistic, why will you want to have a party if our family structures are the cause of these problems. We party and then next day or week or month our people are taking out each other, but we say we had a party on Juneteeth. Let's take care of the business of repairing the foundation of our society, which is the family structure.

[@jenniferbanda5149]

We need more people like you speaking out about the violence in your community so that it can addressed & hopefully do better 🙏❤

[@protagonist1358]

@jenniferbanda5149 The sad part is my type of ideas don't fit and people sadly enough like to play politics then life and reality.

It's no surprises as to why... love that she was strapped, tho. Could you imagine living there after the government outlaws it and says, "No, we'll be your protection, you dont need 2ndA"

[@marilynking4003]

I'm glad she got to sell her cookies! But they really have to be careful when it comes to gatherings. 😕

[@KandyKane0872]

I bet they'll have an even for July 4th.

[@Emy53]

It shouldn't be canceled. People just stay home if they don't feel safe. They don't have to cancel Juneteenth. Those that are hell bent on crime, will choose any event to commit crime. The criminals were just looking for a crowd so they would not be detected. They do not have to cancel.

[@John-kx3ng]

A case where a few ruin it for the majority, it’s really sad.

[@jive6753]

Happy Homie Day.

[@tikatikatikatika3066]

Bigger cities still have events but, I guess I understand

[@lawnside82]

I was thinking that. Just go to another city.. smh
