it's looking like we need segregation back to protect us from these savages
ReplyDeleteSince WE can't carry guns, we need to arm ourselves with something like pepper spray or keeping a pop can in our purses/messenger bags. Start taking self defense classes. We are the hunted while the animals roam the streets carrying knives and guns preying on us. I still think the gun law needs to be changed allowing us to carry so we at least stand a chance out there.
ReplyDeleteanon, you moron...Chicago is the most segregated major city in the US. fucking racist.
ReplyDeleteI have a female friend who is always walking around with her Blackberry and Gucci wallet in her hands. Not to mention the obnoxiously flashy diamond ring on her finger.
ReplyDeleteI keep telling her she needs to be careful, but she refuses to listen. So far, luck has been on her side.
I hope she reads your blog Timothy. It sure has made me more aware.
ReplyDelete"Anon", why do you suppose this city is so segregated? Do you think it has ANYTHING to do with the amount of crime committed and WHO commits that crime? Some people are taught to be racists, some become racists from the crime they are constantly subjected to. Turning the other cheek only goes so far. Why the hell should I have to be afraid in my own neighborhood? I didn't create that but I have to endure it. The "what's your's is mine" mentally takes a toll after a while and than guess what? We begin to get attitudes towards the perpetrators and guess what "MO" that would be? Good for the other Anon for NOT being politically correct...whether I agree or not. At least they have balls!
