It sounds so humdrum in print. To witness it you'd think the mayor had been shot.

Why wasn't it appropriate? Were they black dudes? Were they driving the car? It would only be inappropriate if you were lying, which you weren't.

I need to adopt you so I can show you some discipline and respect for authority. And then you could come on our train trips this summer. Two birds with one stone!

I'm no Chicago Police Booster, but the moron should be locked away for a long, long time. Robbing someone who is helpless as a result of being injured in a car accident is the basest form of predatory mentality there is- I don't care how much disdain you have for the police.

In my opinion it's only offensive if you think being black is a bad thing. I don't so I say it freely. I've been beaten over the head for years though for casual references to race which others claim are adventitious to the crux of the story I'm telling. I'm retired from debating these issues, though. I'm busy enough with work and taking care of the kids.

They must have had a wanted level of at least four stars.

I guess you have some sort of Beavis-type allure that escapes me. I'd take her up on it. It's a rough world.
