What happens when you open up a few jobs in Obama-jobs-stricken Philadelphia and invite ex-felons to apply? Guess.The Date: May 17, 2013 High Noon.
The Place: Municipal Services Building, across from City Hall.
Some 25 employers were perched at tables inside the complex waiting for an estimate of 1000 ex-felons to show up eager for work. What they got was over 3000 shoving, pushing, line-cutting, panicked long-term-jobless crushing the doors.
City officials tried to paint a different picture of course characterizing the swollen crowd as a kindly bunch waiting patiently in long lines with resumes in hand.
If so, why did they shut the thing down? Oh yea, the city was afraid the well-behaved mass of ex-cons might break out in song and start asking for cookies and cokes.
“People want jobs,” said one man. “In the city right now, with jobs it’s just ridiculous trying to find one. It’s almost impossible.” “It’s really hard out here,” another man said. How long had he been trying to get work?
“At least two years now.”
Well, jobs are tough to come by, but given 90% of the crowd was black and 90% of blacks voted for Obama; the Angle suggests these goofs start looking in the mirror if they want a reason why... But hey, at least these guys are actually looking for a work and not a handout - and that's kinda refreshing.
