you have no idea how to live in a rough neighborhood do you? yet i'm the moron, when you have never even experienced anything remotely similar to what happened in that vid.
I'm sorry, CHS. Have we met?
How do you know what I've experienced in my life? You don't know anything about me other than the fact, maybe, that I grew up in Park Ridge (a mostly white, somewhat affluent community) and I now live in Topeka. Do you have any idea what Topeka, Kansas is like?
For the last 8 years I've lived on the edge of the Highland Park neighborhood which has one of the worst crime rates in the city. Check out this thread to see what it is like.
Areas of Topeka to avoid: The Oakland area and the Highland Park area, they're both on the east side of town and tend to have a higher crime rate ...
My son lived in Topeka for awhile. We considered it but the crime is very high. I was reading a report on meth this week for the state of Kansas which included info about the drug as well as the gangs and crime associated with it. ...When we were visiting our son, who has since moved, I believe they had a shooting in the library parking lot
...Topeka is a small town with big town crime rates! If you stay out of the neighborhoods mentioned, highland park and Oakland, you'll rarely encounter violent crimes.
I was a deputy sheriff in Topeka for 24 years, and in law enforcement there for 35 years. Crime is everywhere. ... there are safe areas, and areas full of criminals.
i have lived here my whole life ... Violent crime (murders etc) are for the most part between people that are shady to begin with.
The Highland park neighborhood is about 80% black and 15% hispanic. Walk through it and you will see 2 or 3 cars with smashed out windows on every block.
Since I moved here I have had my house broken into and robbed twice, I have had my car broken into twice. The bar I shoot pool at recently had a guy beaten to death with a pool cue. At the bar I go to most often, one of my friends was recently pistol whipped (by 4 gang members) so badly that his eye socket was broken.
You have no idea what I have experienced and I have no idea what you have been through. I don't assume that just because you defend a worthless piece of crap thug, that you are a crack-smoking, drug-dealing gang-banger who lives in a crime infested housing project with your welfare mother, and you don't know who your father is. For all I know, Your dad is a doctor and your mom is a lawyer and you live the life of Theo Huxtable from the Cosby Show.
But I do know this; most people, even in bad neighborhoods are basically good people who don't drop out of school, take drugs or steal from their neighbors. The ones that do are losers who are either too stupid or too lazy to work to get ahead and succeed on their own efforts.
It doesn't matter whether you are black or white or rich or poor. Right is right and wrong is wrong. And for you to defend the thief in this video shows that your parents (or mom or grandma) have failed with you as a person. If you think what he did was OK that shows a severe lack of character. If you follow his example, you will either end up in jail or dead. IDK, maybe either of those choices is preferable to working hard and doing things the right way.
At first I thought you were just playin, just to mess with people and get a reaction. "Nobody could really be this stupid, this immoral" I thought.
If that is the case then you've only succeeded in making yourself look like a complete a$$h0!e. If not, then I just feel really sorry for you.
I hope you grow up soon.
it would. white people can't be trusted.
Racist.
