Viral Idiocy

Right after the police turn the corner, a giant gang shootout caught on tape!



We used to do the same thing, but with bottle rockets....but we kept it in the alleys and parks. Playing in traffic was dangerous!

Media coverage of the fun.

Too bad their clothing didn't catch fire, or they didn't get hit by a passing bus.

The upside is that a) no bodies and b) no one goes to the ER. And a little levity goes a long way. And besides, the cops that turned the corner in the first few seconds of the video were spared the indignity of writing contact cards.

America -- the country where the "disadvantaged" and "disenfranchised" all have spotless new white sneakers.

Now, you or me, we'd be dead or strapped up in traction. Not here. Never any ferocious drag racers around when you need them; no carloads of unheeding, likkered-up bangers chasing each other to the next party. No semi hauling steel coils and the guy behind the wheel has been going for 58 hours and is seeing only giant cactus that aren't really there.

Not even a decent-sized bus.

that's gladiator training in the old Rockwell gardens. they've been doing this for 20 years. It makes them stronger in the courtyard at county or stateville. I have to teach my son how to work and pay bills and manage your family this is what their parents taught them. my son would be pissed if He saw what he was missing.

Laugh My Ass Off (spelled it out)

When Roman Candles are outlawed
...only Outlaws will have Roman Candles.

We used to do the same thing when we were kids with our Matel cap pistols.

The difference was we learned early to take cover behind walls and trees. That early training served me well many times during my career.

Now where is my rocking horse.

Of course, it will the the "poleeeses" fault because we let it happen when one of them gets hurt.
The problem is, and we all know this, where is the parent culpability.
Once society signs on to that type of thinking, it will all be good.




Unfortunately, we will all be retired if and when that happens.

Looks like a scene out of Harry Potter, with wizards shooting at each other with their magic wands.

Cockroaches. They look like cockroaches crawling out when the lights go out. I feel NOTHING for any of them. I see them in my hood and I can feel my blood pressure rising. Time go go.

Looks like an average summer night in the yard of good old Cabrini Green. The kids would shoot at each other with Roman Candles all the time. They grew up like that. Old habits die hard.

Fireworks are not cheap. Those nice shiny white sneakers aren't cheap either. Must be nice to live in a world where everyone else pays for your living and entertainment while you are free of any obligation -- social, moral, financial, legal or otherwise, and every day is a weekend. Meanwhile, the rest of us come home after another long day of work only to lay in bed at night and wonder what will become of us in our golden years as the powers that be concoct ever more plans to ensure we never enjoy a modest and peaceful retirement.

Bottle rocket fights were the shit.

We once chose up sides and engaged in one up at Apple Canyon Lake, and the OPFOR decided to take the high ground in the form of some 3 story tower that was near a clubhouse there. Normally the high ground is the place to be, but we just started angling the rockets so that they'd hit the ceiling of the roof on the tower and ricochet downward.

So much for the high ground.

Never-ever say shit about the people that attempt to enter the USA south of the oarder for a better life. These people work 12 days for spit and take care of their families and do have a sense of morals. I am not of this heritage but give these people credit for all they endur. I never fear walking past them !!
These project gene animals are way out of control and need to be shipped to an Island were they can kill each other.

The people I will never-ever say shit about are the people who wait their turn, plan for their future, do it by the book, instead of jumping the line (or the fence, or the BORDER).

We have an immigration plan, and immigration process, for a reason. Those who circumvent the process and commit a felony doing so are no heroes in my book.
