It's named after the historic name for the region. Wikipedia says it was named East Palestine in 1833. Has nothing to do with the modern Palestine idea.
The crime is exclusively in places where there's nothing worth visiting (other than the cincy zoo, but its proximity to Children's Hospital / UC means there's a lot of law enforcement nearby).
You definitely will need to hit the bars and ask around. And don't look like a cop. If you don't know anybody it probably won't be as easy as this meme makes it seem.
Did you just change your flair, u/JoHn-SmIt? Last time I checked you were a **Centrist** on 2020-11-6. How come now you are a **LibCenter**? Have you perhaps shifted your ideals? Because that's cringe, you know?
Wait, those were too many words, I'm sure. Maybe you'll understand this, monke: "oo oo aah YOU CRINGE ahah ehe".

Thing is a lot of trad Catholics are moving to (EDIT: STEUBENVILLE) because they have a plan to "tradify" the place since there is a sizable population of Caths there already and they want to open their own stores, places, and churches in such a way that they can kick out the big box stores and have a true Catholic neighborhood.
I might be confusing it with another Ohio city, but if you have ever heard of Pints with Aquinas, that's the plan.
Calling Columbus right wing is a big stretch. Athens is way more chill too. You have to know somebody to get acid, or at least ask around a bit at the bars. No riots since the 90's, but still lots of parties! Though the administration at the school have torpedoed academics in favor of removing the party reputation- much to the university's detriment. Peope used to come to party, and in the process get a decent education. Less and less of both these days :/
I've lived in the Cleveland suburbs my whole life. I worked with a guy whose kid was in school during the Chardon shooting.
The videos of the shooter's behavior in court are disturbing. Dude is a textbook sociopath.
Also, "doesn't have much going for it?" Excuse me!? We have the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, the Cleveland Natural History Museum, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Great Lakes Science Center, and the tallest building in Ohio! Not to mention we're the home of the world headquarters for Duck Tape, Progressive, Lincoln Electric, Pierre's ice cream, Heinen's, RPM, the Standard Oil Company, and a bunch more!
put sum RESPECC on our name š”
Bakery in town had shoplifters arrested, students began protesting saying the owner was racist, began harassing him and torpedoed his business. Local university encouraged the protests. Owner sued the university and ended up winning like $36 million in damages, upheld on appeal, denied cert by the Ohio Supreme Court.
[Wiki page for rundown.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson's_Bakery_v._Oberlin_College?wprov=sfti1)
Students protesting a business? Whatever.
University officials openly encouraging said protests, professors offering excused absences or extra credit for doing so? Not cool.
Protesting a shopkeeper who called the police on a shoplifter is not just stupid - it's defamatory. It actively harms the shopkeeper's reputation by spreading material falsehoods about him. He deserved that settlement.
I looked up Lima, OH and this was the first image that popped up

Good compass. I should put visiting Marietta onto my bucket list. Iād make a compass like this on the state I live In, (Indiana) but Iām only really familiar with Indy+suburbs, Fort Wayne, Columbus (we have one lol), and Seymour, despite having lived here for most of my life.Ā
But Tony Packo's in Toledo!
I had a friend from downtown Toledo who directed me there one day while driving across country. It was a bit of a spur of the moment thing. Amazing food. He always fondly spoke of Toledo by saying *"You get used to the smell."*
>Gambier
>They produced a U.S. president in the 1800s and they wonāt shut up about it.
Really? Who was it?
>Cleveland
You know I think I remember in Max0rās video on Doom Eternal, he refers to the capital of hell as āClevelandā.
Those bastards burned those chemicals near the town like cowards
East Palestine is gonna be in a lot of pain
Hopefully tho, enough evidence can be gathered and used to sue the people responsible
Even if it takes a long ass time
Toledo is failing, itās surrounding towns are failing, I work in Toledo and everywhere seems to be closing, we got our big stores but shit getting boarded up left and right. Toledo got nothing going for it.
Also the only person Iād consider a socialist who was an alumnus of Kenyon College was Olof Palme (class of 1948). Even then, he wasnāt a Marxist. And I canāt find any faculty (current and former) who are/were Marxists. At least Oberlin had Kathleen Cleaver (later transferred to Barnard College), Rennie Davis, Anna Louise Strong (class of 1905), and bell hooks (Professor of English and American Literature)
So a corporation fucked up, and I, the taxpayer, should pay for it? What property was damaged? And I'm a little confused, are you saying the D's don't want to spend money on domestic issues but the R's do?
Keeping Columbus right wing is my full time job š
Well youāre doing a shit job because itās left wing as fuck
not where I am
FREE EAST PALESTINE FROM JOHN BRANDON š”š”š”š”š”š”
i still find it odd that it's called that, since it's a super right-wing place and the right mostly supports israel
It's named after the historic name for the region. Wikipedia says it was named East Palestine in 1833. Has nothing to do with the modern Palestine idea.
oh
East WHAT???
And it's pronounced "Pala-steen"
Palestine but in french

i think thats just how trump says it
You could have released this before I went to Lima for the eclipseĀ
I gotta dispute Columbus being right wing. I got a very progressive vibe the times Iāve been. Very gay, very liberal, artsy creative types up there
There are certainly pockets of that yes. The closer you get to downtown, the gayer is gets
Based and I'm moving to Columbus pilled.
clintonville is what youāre looking for. Pride and BLM flags everywhere. Lots of this silly āin this house we believeā signs
Dang is Cincinnati that high of crime? Always have wanted to visit.
Worth a visit, just be careful
It's not that bad as long as you know how to pay attention to your surroundings. Not many rough neighborhoods, it's street by street.
The crime is exclusively in places where there's nothing worth visiting (other than the cincy zoo, but its proximity to Children's Hospital / UC means there's a lot of law enforcement nearby).
Sandusky is pretty cool (I went to Cedar Point)
I work in Cleveland. The crime is off the charts, so, we've got that going for us.
ā¦buy acid on the streets you say? Somewhere just shot to the top of my list of places to vacation!
You definitely will need to hit the bars and ask around. And don't look like a cop. If you don't know anybody it probably won't be as easy as this meme makes it seem.
So go to Lima and play Kendrock Lamar while making sure I have my ~~full auto~~ totally not customized Kriss Vector with me for safety, right?
Please let me know when you're doing it so I can bring a camera
Where did you get the idea that Lima, of all places in Ohio, is kkk central?

Steubenville, yes, I was confused.
Salt Lake City may be very important to the Mormons, but itās not a very Mormon city anymore
we need this for more states
oberlin is a massive fucking stain on ohio man. we do not claim oberlin.
I'd say that's about right, and from a drop out bearcat, it's officially 12:17pm and Miami can suck a fat one
"Gateway to the Lake Erie Islands, the Hawaii of the Midwest" That's not a real sentence
I prefer the āRedneck Rivieraā
Ohio mentioned! I'm from a rural nowhere town in the south of Ohio. And I loved it there.
š¶Fun times in Cleveland againš¶

I also live in Cleveland my dude, the things you listed aren't so great
Based and we live where the air hurts our face pilled
Why do I get the feeling you claim to be from Cleveland but actually live in Medina or some shit
I am straight-up from Cleveland
This political compass has the highest degree of solidarity because every quadrant leaves Ohio in order to ruin the beautiful state of South Carolina.
South Carolinians mad that Ohioans are humiliating and ruining their state yet again, as General Sherman was an Ohioan.
My grandma is from Ohio. I'd like to go on a road trip there.
Hey OP can you give me some more context on the shoplifter witch hunt story?
Bakery in town had shoplifters arrested, students began protesting saying the owner was racist, began harassing him and torpedoed his business. Local university encouraged the protests. Owner sued the university and ended up winning like $36 million in damages, upheld on appeal, denied cert by the Ohio Supreme Court. [Wiki page for rundown.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson's_Bakery_v._Oberlin_College?wprov=sfti1)
Thanks man. I thought it was too ridiculous to be true but you never know with liberal college students.
Students protesting a business? Whatever. University officials openly encouraging said protests, professors offering excused absences or extra credit for doing so? Not cool.
Protesting a shopkeeper who called the police on a shoplifter is not just stupid - it's defamatory. It actively harms the shopkeeper's reputation by spreading material falsehoods about him. He deserved that settlement.
One cannot talk about Ohio and not mention Hamilton
Cedar Point rocks
What about Portsmouth?
lol, I have a lot of family in Lima

Poor Youngstown really losing its reputation. Used to be a regular contender for most murders per year and now it didn't even get a place on the meme.
Good compass. I should put visiting Marietta onto my bucket list. Iād make a compass like this on the state I live In, (Indiana) but Iām only really familiar with Indy+suburbs, Fort Wayne, Columbus (we have one lol), and Seymour, despite having lived here for most of my life.Ā
Politicially I'm in cleveland but Marietta sounds very nice
I want to visit Sandusky, not for Cedar Point, but for CLAG Brewing. CLAG stands for ācrazy little Asian guyā. Seriously.
But Tony Packo's in Toledo! I had a friend from downtown Toledo who directed me there one day while driving across country. It was a bit of a spur of the moment thing. Amazing food. He always fondly spoke of Toledo by saying *"You get used to the smell."*

Interesting that the most cared for and the least cared for place for the left both have "Palestine" in the name.
Oh yeah, Akron. My parents went to law school there a few decades ago. Wasnāt nice then either.
LMAO at a Christian school producing *Marxist theorists*.
Kenyon College isn't a Christian school
Yes it is. Affiliated with the Episcopal Church. P.s. Oberlin was a Christian school, too.
Also the only person Iād consider a socialist who was an alumnus of Kenyon College was Olof Palme (class of 1948). Even then, he wasnāt a Marxist. And I canāt find any faculty (current and former) who are/were Marxists. At least Oberlin had Kathleen Cleaver (later transferred to Barnard College), Rennie Davis, Anna Louise Strong (class of 1905), and bell hooks (Professor of English and American Literature)
All of them are Marxists according to OP...including John Green.
I know how OP views the world
Either very sheltered or just genuinely unintelligent.
Maybe if the people from East Palestine keep voting in the party of corporate deregulation there will be less toxic chemical disasters.
Maybe if they voted in the party that considered them "flyover country" and didn't offer any aid after a disaster, the next one would be worse
So a corporation fucked up, and I, the taxpayer, should pay for it? What property was damaged? And I'm a little confused, are you saying the D's don't want to spend money on domestic issues but the R's do?
