That part of Chicago should be in a “safe area”. That’s not the “hood”. It was broad daylight. This is just more I can do what I want because I am black BS.

Generally, the stage hands are the only group of straight men at any major opera house. They are also guys with a background in construction and electrical contracting. They are the opposite of most of the homos and lefty artsy types and frequently hang a flag backstage to stick it in their faces.

Innocent until proven guilty.

Ball: See, yo honuh. It’s like dis. I was juss passin’ by mindin’ my own damn bidness when this young Whitey McCracker-Honkey started beatin’ himself to a pulp. I started to freak out for a moment. Never seen anything like it my life. That Whitey be crazy or sumthin’! I did my best to stop him, but no matter how hard I tried the worse it got. Dat’s da truth, yo honuh.

The honorable Rev. Al Sharpton said I was arrested for a WWB - walkin’ while black.

Everything nowadays is “alleged” unless you’re white and a “Tea Party” member.

How many of his dogs would you shoot?

Stupid question. I love doggies, though I am allergic to their fur (cats too).
How many would YOU shoot?

You are of course quite right.
I’ve always found it odd that criminals are so territorial, seldom leaving their neighborhood to prey on those who presumably have more money and less likelihood of being on their guard.
I am, of course, glad that they are, it’s just always seemed odd to me that a 10-minute drive in a car creates such an enormous difference in the crime rate.

Interesting comments.
I agree with them all.

Criminals seem to have troubled brains. They are stupid. If they were smart they could make more money than God.

Those criminal males should suffer the consequences and to heck with their color.

What goes around DOES come around. Perhaps they are too stupid and arrogant to know that.

If this type of crap continues they will. “They” keep pushing and pushing something is going to blow.

Unfortunately, more and more often, attacks are taking place in downtown areas, not just the ‘bad’ areas.

May God bless you and keep you always.
AAAHHH-CHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Excuuuse me! I guess I'm allergic to people like you.
Too bad you don't follow some of Lao tzo's philosophy...the quintessential Taoist.

Taoist myths state that Laozi was conceived when his mother gazed upon a falling star. He supposedly remained in her womb for 62 years before being born while his mother was leaning against a plum tree. (The Chinese surname Li shares its character with "plum".)
Laozi was said to have emerged as a grown man with a full grey beard and long earlobes, both symbols of wisdom and long life. Other myths claim that he was reborn 13 times after his first life during the days of Fuxi. In his last incarnation as Laozi, he lived nine hundred and ninety years and spent his life traveling to reveal the Tao.

Hippie? Me? LOL. Boy, do you ever date yourself. Too bad you've ended up so angry and bitter.

And you kill mules. How sweet. (sarc.)

Is it time to move?

By the way, you were an expat. Where were you living overseas? Just curious.

Sweet?!! You're cooking them wrong.

Besides, you are supposed to let them cough up the coke first.

And yes, I was quite the hep-cat in my day. I speak not this "fa-shizzle" tongue of you children.
(confess: you never heard of Laotzu until you googled it ten minutes ago)

No, I did know of him. I taught yoga (at the college level) for 27 years and learned about all those MOST interesting eastern philosophers. There are some 330 million "faces" of "God" in Hinduism. Gads.

My husband thought that SOMEWHERE in India some cult was worshiping a '65 Chevy. My husband had one. Boy could it FLY.

Mind you, I didn't delve much into their philosophy since it wasn't a philosophy class but I taught it as part of the general cultural aspect of yoga, an Asian practice.

Zoroastrians, Sidhartha Gautama (Buddha) and the Japanese hero worship. The Chinese were RIGHT up there with their gods--kitchen god, garden god, you name it, they had it.
All very interesting.
