Dallas Cowboy Construction Scandal

A few months ago I made a video of the then current state of construction of the new Dallas Cowboy Stadium, interspersed with photos of the houses and apartment buildings that were stolen from their owners and then destroyed, in what is believed to be the worst case of eminent domain abuse in American history.

This morning one of the victims of Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys and the City of Arlington commented on the video.

Below is that comment. And the video being commented on.

"wow thats wierd to watch. we were relocated due to the new cowboy stadium. we were some of the last to leave. it's very surreal to watch your nieghbor hood where you live be torn down around you. I'm not whining about it, we are now much better off for having moved. However it is still sad that all those memories took place in a small run down nieghborhood that no longer exist."
