Screw speed cameras, can we get a few more "don't shoot people the police are watching" cameras in Shaw?
Some reports of a man who is kicking random women in the shins outside the Columbia Heights Metro.
I guess that is a step up from shooting them.
On a different note; I do like random women.
You wanna know how to get this asshole? He kicks you in shins, you kick him in the balls. He throws rocks at you, you send him to the morgue. *That's* the *Columbia Heights* way! And that's how you get him. Now do you want to do that? Are you ready to do that? I'm offering you a deal. Do you want this deal?
I do random.
Excellent.
Only if they're under 21 though.
I blame the shin kicking on gentrification. All the yuppies taking over the neighborhood generates a lot of hostility towards newcomers. No sooner does Junkpunchers lose its lease, only to be replaced by some pretentious charcuterie gulag called "Perforateur d'Ordure," you get a rash of shinkickings. The kids nowdays have no place to go to punch junk, cocks, or anything else.
Great shot foramenglow!
I wonder if shin-kicker guy is also a dog thief. The plot thickens!
That last one reminds me of "The Baltimore Foot Stomper"
Molly update?
Can we PLEASE stop glorifying people having litters of children? Granted, quadruplets is a small litter, but still.
So my Master Plan for dealing with speed cameras is as follows:
1) Everyone simply slows down to the speed limit.
2) No tickets means a significantly decreased revenue stream for the municipality in question.
3) No revenue means that the municipality is shelling out beaucoup bucks for upkeep that's not being recouped.
4) Speed cameras removed because they're too expensive.
5) Populace resumes a reasonable speed.
Ta-da. Case closed.
and my Master Plan to help neighborhood snitchers:
1. Grant me access to your roof
2. Give me a 12 pack or Jack and Coke
3. Give me a loaded gun
4. Vandals maimed or dead
5. Any more questions? (said like the Governator)
