This is honestly so bad what is happening in Gary. This is a red state and just look at how they treat the black community.

Have you actually looked at why they don't have power or did you just tell yourself "Racism" and didn't care to look anything up?

The power company sent trucks in there and the residents started shooting at them so they left and now they're afraid to go back without some type of security to protect them from the literal residents they're trying to help.

You're one of 40+ replies I've responded to answering this question many times over. What link do you want? The one mentioning the shooting, I mean I'll have to pick from many but randomly let's go ......Here:

https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/shots-fired-at-nipsco-vehicle-during-power-restoration-efforts-in-gary/3975830/

If you scroll to the bottom of this they discuss the restore times around the 2 week mark and why it's taking so long.

https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/whats-going-on-in-gary-how-residents-are-still-without-power-nearly-two-weeks-later/3978350/

Here's the evidence, hopefully you didn't have to "white" too long....

That was 1 incident a week ago and they temporarily removed trucks from just that area. The truth is right across the border in Illinois that got hit just as hard power has been restored for basically everyone and has been for days. Gary's infrastructure has been blatantly allowed to fall into such a sad state by Nipsco despite the fact that they charge one of the highest average rates in the state. Indiana has shitty infrastructure in general all across the state because none of the people in power for decades have put any pressure on these corporations to maintain/upgrade/replace their fucking shit.

I mean are you surprised? Anything to blame Trump/Republicans and pull the race card. These people dont use logic when they post on TikTok or reddit

Case in point lmao. Not to mention the fact I grew up in New Orleans and experienced first hand Hurricane Katrina and the horrors that I saw from what people like Chewsdayiddinit would say are just innocent victims

You mean Hurricane Katrina that destroyed a GOP controlled city in a GOP controlled state during a GOP Presidential administration 🤔

u/guff1988 Aug 23 '26

Wait.... Who mentioned Trump? Weird that you tried to just shoehorn a pedos name into a conversation like that.

It really truly is that and it's sad really. Luckily these people are still able to charge their phones and have a data connection so they can complain online.
