No damage. I wasn’t even sore afterwards.

They may have let you go. Black rage isn't all it's cracked up to be. I suspect a lot of blacks go along with the whole "hate whitey" meme, but their hearts aren't in it. They felt social pressure to mug a cracker, but most of them probably have white friends, and have been treated decently by white people, so it was some sort of perverse right (or actually wrong) of passage. Glad no one got hurt, but it's nonsense and bullshit and people, white and black, do get hurt like that.

I am probably the toughest old man around. I’m like old leather, coiled up and mean as a snake. But, as Merle Haggard says...
‘Im rough and Im rowdy, Im tough and Im smart,
But I have a tender Heart’

Hope still lives in this world, my compatriots.

The noble thing would be to just offer his life as self sacrifice.

He’s probably on track to find employment in the Federal government.

Quite remarkable a $ 60,000 education can literally turn your brain to mush...

You underestimate by around $120,000. Georgetown tuition is now almost 48K a year.

I have no doubt that the author wears 60-grit underwear and routinely cuts himself.

Yeah, plus I was wisecracking. ‘Hey! Hey! Its me! Steve Motel. Come on fellas!’ I knew they were sporting around. If one of them was a psycho the whole thing would have gone bad and your old Pappy wouldn’t be here to tell the tale.

It sounds like the young Marxist in the story just went limp and let the holdup crew paw him over for valuables.

From “The Mikado” a 19th century satire on British life dressed up in Kimonos, when listing people who “never would be missed”:

“The idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone,
All centuries but this, and every country but his own.”

Designer tribalism has been around for a long time! :-)

Further proof that “progressives” are just plain stupid.

So, you believe your “privileged” neighborhood is “harshly unfair”.

Then why don’t you move into the ghetto, you simpering little queer? Put your money where your germ-infested mouth is.

Any organism with such little regard for it’s own existence does not deserve to continue existing.

I had this discussion with a local teen.

He had his IPod stolen from his locker.

He said “I guess it is ok, the kid was probably poor and needed it more than I did.”

I was all over him.

I said: what an arrogant insulting statement you have made. Assuming poor people are not moral people. Assuming that one cannot have integrity or honor in poverty.

You are so wrong, There are many many books about impoverished people acting with integrity. Learn your history so you will not say anything as insulting again.

Never mistake immorality for poverty.

I read that. There’s a word for people like that. Prey.
