Pretty sad. Lived in the bad part of town where things are so bad supposedly the guy was scared to leave his house. I don't know any other details.

I've just been thinking over and over again today, "why do we put up with this shite?" why do we let these dens of criminality prey upon the innocent over and over and over again.

I just can't help but think it's something society doesn't give a shite about. Sure, there are people, groups, and movements that aim to clean up the streets, but they don't have the resources to do shite. And it seems like most people are oblivious to everything that happens around them. Until it personally affects them.

Just remind him that diversity makes us stronger, not diluted and weak

I don't see you doing anything about it other than posting on a message board.

Why wasn't he strapped?

And if he was killed in his house, that's ironic.

Because if you use common sense and fix the problem you're labeled a racist.

I didn't realize that we did. I could have sworn that there were laws against murder and even teams of people dedicated to finding and jailing those that committed it.

Because people are too soft to clean up their own backyard.

Well...we pay them to.


Not sure how committed they are.

More worried about pre-paid debit card seizures from what I gather.

That's because you don't know me. I've mentored inner city kids. Tried to help them get through some tough issues. Saw and heard about some truly fricked up shite. It might not be much, but it's fricking something.

May death come swift and painful to the one who shed blood.

No shite, I'm very close friends with a homicide detective, they take that shite very seriously and personally. Regardless of how you may feel about cops, the detectives that investigate this kind of thing become very invested personally in almost every case. They might not be perfect but to say they don't try is dumb and short-sighted. If you know someone that's done that job, it takes a real toll on them and how the frick they keep doing it is beyond me.
