Hippies? There are still hippies?

I grew up in the Inagodadavida 60’s hippie era. I never
liked those “Make love not war, share the land” types.
Even when I had long hair and played in heavy metal bands
in the 80”s I still made fun of them. As far as setting
themselves on fire, well some did. Like when they were
huffing gas fumes from a gas tank and then try to light
a cigarette. Today those same people are running the country.
Sad.

When you’ve seen Austin, you’ve seen heaven.

Is that sarcasm? Because I really can't tell.

I live in Austin, and it sucks! I can't stand it! The only good things about Austin are the winters, and the golf courses.

And before someone says move, I can't - my wife is divorced, and her divorce agreement stipulates that she must stay in Austin. I just hope that after the kids finish college they don't want to live in Austin.

My main gripe is how self righteous all the liberals here are. They really are intolerable.

Who said they’re “hippies”?

Long hair doesn’t make a hippie.

How do we know they weren’t metal heads?

Pepper spray. Even a hippy peacenik should agree non lethal pepper spray is moral. I guarantee one little can would have turned the tables here.

A gun would have been even better.

Yes, I guess there are. They still look...well, unwashed.

I think that’s east of 35, around 7th.

That’s off the tourist strip. Mehhhh (shiver). Not good. Austin is like DeeCee. Don’t take steps off the strip. That is wayyyy off the strip.

It was sarcasm.

I heard, a long time ago, that’s what folk in Houston say.

Hippie Hollow has been around forever. Austin is infested with Hippies. It’s a good hunting ground for Street Thugs.

Outside of the Austin city limits, the Street Thugs maintain a very low profile. Not many Hippies to whoop up on. They are more likely to encounter cowboys, rednecks or just good old oil field trash and that could hurt... a lot.

Hippies are the second favorite target, right after the emos. Emos usually have money, hippies only have dope. And stuff.

Cowboys and oilfield roughnecks are not to be messed with. Even in Houston or San Antonio. Honest, fellows.

Someone already asked that question so I didn’t bother!

Either way, even I don’t see why a “hippie” had to be beaten up.

Metalheads would fight back.

If it’s east of I-35 and in the dark of a.m., then, yeah, you need to be doubly vigilant if you’re on foot. And it’s been as chilly as it ever gets down here lately. Folks out and about that late might start a fight to warm themselves up!

The word “thug” in reference to blacks acting like rabid animals, is the new N word, and these thugs are like wild dogs running in packs. They should be picked up, taken to the pound where they can be gassed, burned, and disposed of at a landfill.

Makes my blood boil. That said, those long-haired guys — hippies or otherwise — had no idea how to fight. Any moderately good martial artist or boxer could easily have had those six guys comatose in short order, even without a gun.

No, it’s not right for folks to jump others like that. But folks should do themselves a favor and be long abed by 0-dark-30. If not, have a plan, move with a purpose, and avoid contact.

“When you’ve seen Austin, you’ve seen heaven.”

Come to Austin, I’ll convince you otherwise. We can start on 6th Street and Congress at 8 AM. I’ll give you a tour of all the local parks, park benches, pavilions and alleyways. You will think you are in some hell hole in Turdistan. It’s a Stench-Hippie sanctuary.

Actually, taking out the ‘leader’ first is usually all that it takes.
