So, back to the SEC for GT? Interesting idea, Tech has a schizo-image. If it would get its BB back into order it best fits in the ACC, but think about reviving the old Alabama-GT football rivalry of the 1950's! GT will have problems in football until it introduced basket weaving engineering as a degree to compete in the recruiting wars with the modest academic requirements for football jocks in the SEC.
Kill them or throw them in Jail? Is no one concerned a public official would make such a statement? There have been successful programs to improve neighborhoods, have they not heard of "weed and feed?" If you do not go after the root causes of violence, it will persist. 25% of chattanooga citizens live below the poverty level.
That kind of inflammatory language harkens to the violent days of Nazi antisemitism, segregation and the protests of the 1960's and 70's against the war in Viet Nam. It inflames a lynch mob mentality as the results of your poll show. It ought to be condemned by every public official, minister and citizen who has any sense of ethics and decency. It is a distortion of democracy and Christianity.
Is Chattanooga becoming the Chicago of 1968, or the Berlin of the 1930's? We can go to the extreme of the police state but even then violence against citizens will persist and the police will become the new "mob."
There are a lot of folks out there who have profoundly objectionable and ill-founded, if not irrational opinions and whose comments are intended as a poison pen. Nevertheless, as long as they are not libelous they ought to be fair game for the electronic venue. That those comments also reflect a significant cross section of your local readership is informative.
Take a look at history. Newspapers from the opening of the Republic until mid 20th century seldom spared a public person's sensitivity or the boundary between good and bad taste. Albeit they typically were opinion pieces.
Finally, I think it is a loss to cut the opinions to only those subjects you have preselected as legitimate editorial subjects. It seems you are lapsing back into a printed media mindset and turning away from the challenge to use a new media effectively. Get creative, find a way.
What about Rhythm and Brews? How many people, how many exits, how many bathrooms. Last I saw it was 1.
You may not like what they do in that "church" but this is a blatant abuse of government power. I'll bet a good lawyer can stop this.
Just wait folks, one of these days it will be your church that is shuttered. How many churches have bathrooms at the ratio of 1 bathroom per 73 people?? Let's walk down Market and Broad Streets and check each of the establishments.
Maybe they ought to raid Abba's House to check on the number of crappers per Sunday AM service?

Peter Bradford says natural gas is the solution! So much for controlling CO2. Long term gas or coal-fired or any carbon-cycle power plants are dinosaurs. Why not look at some of the other modern reactor designs such as the thorium-cycle molten salt reactor? Hardly any nuclear waste, not useful for terrorists but a good reactor, no helium.
The NRC guy with helium and sodium reactors at Chatt State is just pushing old technology.
There are a lot of ways to solve the problem, it just takes creative minds, something of a scarcity in Washington.
The violence happened blocks away not in the club (church?). That is a reason to shut the church down? Someone objects to the lyrics.
This is a classic example where all the folks shouting to shut down this church scream "bloody murder" when someone objects to a prayer on a ball field or a Christmas display on the town square.
I think Littlefield will run into some constitutional issues trying to shut down a church.
But on the other hand, I'm a little perturbed over how that church on Mississippi in the old Baptist church causes such chaos on Sunday mornings with traffic, why don't we move to shut it down also! Besides they preach crazy theology anyway and are only in it to pay their preacher's salary. They even sing "Onward Christian soldiers" and Battle Hymn of the Republic" too blood thirsty!
Come to think about it, those Catholics worship idols, some terrorist might sneak into the Islam church building, the Jewish folks don't even worship Christ. I say shut them all down! They are a threat to public security!
If you are not going down town with your church on a ministry activity you ought to zip it up, guys. You would be casting stones at Jesus with your attitude, were he present in person. He was only interested in the destitute because their deliverance represents the essence of his message, he was uninterested and impatient with wealthy and officious religious leaders who thought they knew the best way to behave and run a church.
Have you ever gone down and volunteered to help Rev. Reid with his ministry, maybe you could have a positive effect?

Update: City of Chattanooga asks court to stop Mosaic event Saturday; judge to hold hearing Friday
Upon reading Reid's remarks, Littlefield responded, "If you cannot control what the youth do, perhaps you shouldn't be providing a place for them."
I guess the mayor does not have any teenagers, or his wife takes care of them...
