For 5 yrs. a rode public transit 3 hrs. a day back and forth through the world class open air drug markets of the city.
Saw a lot, most of it very sad, learned a lot too.
In fact, I've always lived in or on the edge of Baltimore's ghettos which is why I can talk about it, personal experience/observation is the best teacher.
I even have a scar/stitches on my face to prove it!
only time i got mugged, it was a punch from a tall black kid on Geary in SF.
didn't break anything.
as far as the locusts, i'm always amazed that no animals come to eat them. where are the seagulls & pigeons ?
Eating french fries.
How free do you think we’ll be with the tyrannical war hawk dems in power? No schools, no leaving the house sans hazmat suit, 50% unemployment, violent crime rampant in the streets
No thx.
I’ll take my chances elsewhere
so, you are leaving if Biden wins? bye...
was really high walking my dog one night recently, along a main bike path/sidewalk that goes by a lot of businesses it wasn't out of the way or in the middle of nowhere by any means, I come up to what looks like someone threw a bag of trash from the highway that spilled out there were some shoes and clothes, I said out loud to myself what the fuck is this shit
my dog starts sniffing around some of the debris, not knowing or being able to see that well in detail what he was sticking his snout into I said a lot more loudly and firmly almost like a drill instructor come on go
as I turn back to face the path straight on and keep walking there is a shirtless guy sleeping right there in the middle of the sidewalk like I almost stepped on him, what I thought was a garbage bag was actually his backpack
my dog doesn't do the best meeting strangers at night, so I hurried past the scene, I crossed the street when the path comes to a traffic light intersection to start heading back but on the other side as not to disturb this guy
well it turns out the guy had gotten up and was following me, I think he thought when I said what the fuck is this shit and come on go that I was talking to him and he was pissed that I didn't stop to see if he needed help, I mean for all I know if I had stopped he may have tried to rob me, he definitely seemed like that sort of character
it was dark and I didn't notice him following me at first, I heard him coughing and then what sounded like him having a conversation with himself but he was actually shouting at me 'you're fucking dead' among other things, being very verbally aggressive and threatening, I realized he was actually following me when my dog turned to look
I just ignored him and kept walking letting him follow me around making noise, when I came up to the next intersection there was a cop driving the direction I was coming from so I figured maybe someone had called about the guy, but it looked like the cop just drove past but maybe they were going to park and walk up on the path to investigate his spot
I crossed the street back to the other side and my dog alerted again, now the guy is cutting across a parking lot towards me exhibiting aggressive body language, I told my dog well he's making a lot of noise let's see if he really wants it, but he never got closer than 20 feet or so
had he gotten in striking distance I more than likely would have just killed him, if he approached exhibiting aggressive body language like he was doing my dog definitely would have made the first move and at that point I would be defending my dog, while he was reacting to my dog launching at him he would not have been able to react to me, I probably would have tried to land a big punch to his carotid artery/side of his neck, once knocked down there were plenty of large 40lb+ landscaping rocks around to turn him into humpty dumpty with
I'm glad it didn't happen but in general I felt pretty neutral about it, like had it happened I don't think it would have bothered me that much

That hilarious that you are describing trumps America.
Seems to me somebody said if you want peace prepare for war? Maybe that Reagan guy?
Repubs were all about defense until Putin's puppet came to power.
So incapacitation isn't acceptable?
You must kill?
You are so cool you probably would have gotten a medal.
That and shipping our industry to China blessing them with a few generations of the strongest growth on earth while the American public put up with service jobs, and dwindling wages.
ultimately I don't know, it would have depended on what kind of opening there was, if I could have snapped his arm I probably would have just left it at that
the only thing I was carrying was a bag of dog shit, no weapon, no phone to call 911
he verbally threatened my life and then if he followed up with physical action/contact I would have viewed it as a kill or be killed situation
if I knocked him down with a punch he could have started reaching for a weapon, in which case it would have been detrimental for me to hesitate or take too much time to think, I didn't see if he grabbed anything from his backpack before he started following me
It's ironic but that poor white ghetto just south of the poor black ghetto that I lived in in Balto. was a perfect illustration of this.
Both 'hoods were littered with old, abandoned factories that at one time had provided jobs for the entire neighborhood.
Meanwhile, 6 blocks south at the harbor/port you could see trains delivering coal to be shipped out and large cargo container ships arriving with goodies made in foreign factories for us to consume, day after day.
Quick history of that 'hood/examples of the U.S. economy's shift away from industrial manufacturing, its failure to compete with global competition, and management's penchant for short-term profits.:
1904 - factories and houses built
1960's - factories closed, Bethlehem Steel starts its decline, auto plant declines, etc.
1970's - 2000 - 2020 hard drugs/drug dealing moves in to keep the economic engine moving.
A bag of dog shit is likely all you would have needed.
I'd like to be able to say "kill whomever you feel you need to, everybody seems to be doing that... you fit right in here... America is great again."
Oh wait, no I don't. I would rather not see people devolve.
Maybe one day you could come to different conclusions, try applying new thought as you think about better methods of dealing with others.
Seriously man?
You weren't there...you didn't see it...
How dare you talk down to this guy, when he was the one whose life was threatened...

I always feel bad when my training kicks in .....
I wasn't there.
I live in a country with people who shoot people.
I think that killing the guy with a rock seemed excessive.
I think everyone that thought it sounded like a great idea should think again.

Comfortably numb!
ROE = rules of engagement. Escalation of force. Before taking matters in your own hand, know what the law is wrt escalation of force. Don't ever shoot someone fleeing your property, or use lethal force on someone armed only with a knife. Blow him in the knee cap or leg and if you can't do that, sorry you shouldn't own a gun! Too many cowboys out there!
Society falling apart is certainly a bad sign.
...... and the high rate of seriously mentally disturbed peeps left to fend for themselves 'cause some bright, forward thinking psychiatrists in the 80's thought it would be a good idea to close the state mental hospitals and move them in to group homes in 'normal' neighborhoods to help normalize them, at the expense of others.
So many great ideas that turned into not so great reality, looks like we've been following a series of 'Bad Signs' leading us to the chaos we see today, the concept of Civil Liberties taken to extremes.
Another black man murdered today for nothing. White cop grabs him shoots him 6 times, the other 2 times for getting in his car. They could have tazed him, maced him long before he was near his car door .
