Break-ins are fairly common in my neighborhood

Probably because its populated with guilty Libs who think calling the police when they see a crime being committed is racist.

But I bet he wouldn’t hesitate to call the cops if he saw someone walking through the neighborhood wearing a MAGA hat.

“What a racist!! Calling the cops when a black man commits a crime! Racist! Racist! Racist!”

It’s ok. Big Media covers for that by not announcing the race of dangerous criminals at large.

Being black does not make one exempt from the law.

The liberals and black “leadership” have been working hard at cowing the general, white populace about their inherent “racism and priviledge”.

To hell with all of them. If you see someone where they shouldn’t be, call 911.

Not to mention the fact that people who are victims of crime were most likely victimized by a perp of similar skin color.

Break-ins are fairly common in my neighborhood, and this isn’t the first time that I’ve witnessed what appeared to be a theft and called the police. It was, however, the first time I was certain the suspicious person was a black man.

Then you're not really paying attention to your surroundings, are you?

What color was the car?

Perfect.

Penny: Look. You should be happy for me. You don't know what he says to me in private. Maybe it is love. As much as it can be with someone who...

William: ... sold you to Humble Pie for fifty dollars and a case of beer? I was there! I was there.

Penny (after a long, tearful pause): What kind of beer?

The fact that he feels compelled to ask demonstrates the degree to which this society has decayed.

Amen. But even more nefarious is that society has gotten to the point where the thought of reporting a crime is now tempered by race. The press has beaten the populace into utter submission for fear of being labeled "racist".

“But I’d rather have my car broken into than have a person’s life ruined by my 911 call. And honestly, I don’t even know if it’s a crime to open someone’s unlocked vehicle.”

I swear the coasts are different country. Like Pakistan.

Hey, here’s the help....

Thou shall not steal. (period!) Exodus 20:15 GOD

It’s a colorless and non-specific how things will end with the sin commandment.
