I think these are American born and bred thugs.
There’s a comment at the site that is very appropriate to your remark...
“Something I read somewhere, a version of the paradox of tolerance:
As a society becomes more tolerant of those who do wrong, it has to become less tolerant of those who do right.”
It’s a great quote filled with a lot of truth.
Feel threatened? Run over them and then out run them.
Never leave home without protection that includes gunpowder.
The place where that attack occurred is most certainly not a “ghetto.” It is right in front of where the Fox Carthay Circle Theater once stood. This was a movie palace where big Hollywood movies premiered. I watched “Around the World in 80 Days” there in 1958 and also “Lawrence of Arabia” in 1963 and “Beckett” in 1864. My father hitch hiked there from Loma Linda to see “Fantasia” in 1940.
Give me a moment to guess.....
Not far from Cedar-Sinai hospital, too. It was a decent part of town when I lived there. (I left in 2020.)
Staying in his car would have greatly helped this guy.
Does it say anything about being clever, instead of headstrong, in picking your fights?
I was thinking the same thing. Although, I’d probably go to jail for it...
