Oh Lord. Don't tell me they're going back to those plastic bags over their jheri curls "to keep the moisture in" crap. What's the next trend to be reborn? Curb feelers on the Buicks and mudflaps with zodiac signs?
ReplyDeleteMudflaps...LOL!
DeleteThe biggest problem that I see are people being totally unaware of their surroundings while out in public utilizing their electronic devises. The donkey that committed the crime was just one of the many of these scum buckets that are looking for an easy score. "WAKE UP PEOPLE"!!!
ReplyDelete^^I agree. When I am walking out at night, I keep my head and eyes up, put on the most aggressive look I can muster, and look people in the eye. I have my finger poised above the initiator on my pepper spray, ready to douse the motherfucker that tries to attack me. I also know lots of neat defense tactics if the moron tries to attack me from behind.
ReplyDeleteI'm female, and I took the time to take a few self-defense classes that involved real life simulations. I highly suggest that everyone take one of these classes. You might be able to talk you HR department into paying for one for your company.
You've got to be proactive; the police are only reactive. Nobody will frown upon you if, in the course of defending your life, you severely maim, or kill, one of these monsters. I know if I were on a jury, I'd be thanking the stars above for two things 1) the douchebag is dead, never to hurt anyone else again, and 2)my tax dollars were saved from supporting such a creep.
A couple wraps of duct tape around the bottom of the bag should solve this problem.
