Assault Downsouth!

Good to see you made it out alive!!

I had to admit, the kitty gif made me laugh tho, sorry!!



Good thing they weren't muslims!!!:rolleyes::rolleyes::):)
 
Had an adventure late this afternoon. I bundled up a bunch of clothes that don't fit me anymore and drove down to the Goodwill Donation Center. It's about 5 miles away in a rather sketchy area of town.

Put my used clothes in the donation bins, was walking to my car through the parking lot, which was packed. I walked between two cars and an older guy blocked my way. He held up his hands and said "Hey, I'm not asking for money but I need a favor.." and started walking aggresively towards me.

Out of the corner of my eye, I see a woman come up behind me, with her hand in her purse, and I have an "oh shit" moment....

<Insert Flashback> Two years ago, a woman I worked with got mugged in broad daylight by this EXACT same technique, pinned between two parked cars. Someone pushed her down from behind, she had her purse stolen<End Flashback>

I immediately turned around, started walking fast, the woman attempted to just stand there and block my way, I simply gave her a two-hand push and kept walking. Right into the Goodwill center, where there was an armed guard at the door. I asked him to call the police, and as I did we heard tires squealing and the couple that tried to stop me were burning rubber out of the parking lot.

The #UsualSuspects will be along shortly to share their Rambo-esque gun fantasies.

I read the thread title I thought that maybe someone pegged you or you got VD or something.

Good to hear you okay, Rob. Smart thinking on your part.
 
I'm not running from a guy and a female. I'll take my chances.

You'll take a chance on getting mugged/injured/killed rather than making a run for it if you saw an opening?

Don't you have anything worth living for?


I was invincible when I was your age too. :rolleyes:

If he genuinely acts like he talks here he won't live long enough to benefit from the wisdom that comes with age.
 
Oh, it's all over Houston. I've never seen a town so strangely laid out like this...the downside of Libertarianism. You have a major arterial road for three miles, 50mph speed limit, then wham, residential neighborhood (same road!) with 25mph for 4-5blocks, then 50 mph again.

And then you have some areas where it's densely built up, go two blocks and.....prairie.

Travel around town is an adventure here.

Then you have a toll road (Hardy) parallel with a free-way (45)and then you have a 24 lane highway which is the largest on the face of the earth out to Katy.

I love me some hardy toll road but a toll road in the middle of a city?

And the F-ing traffic downtown in the morning by Minute Maid on 59?

Feget about that shit
 
Houston is a strange town. For the longest time you were allowed to build pretty much anything anywhere without permits. Certain parts of town have the strangest configurations, especially by the defunct (gone?) Astrodome.

Rob, amiright?


Sprawl is out of favor in most of the country, but Texas is where it will make its final stand -- the combination of cheap gas, plentiful land, rampant government-hating, and the fact that its too fucking hot to ever walk makes it inevitable. I personally couldn't live someplace where you spend more time in your car than in bed, but there's a lifestyle for everyone in the good ole USA, thankfully.

I especially like the massive skyline Houston has about 10 miles west of its official downtown. I couldn't believe it the first time I saw it.

The Astrodome is still there, so far as I know; they're still deciding what to do with it.

Still looking, Savage Johnny,

I dropped a few hints to Bidin~Time that I'd like one for Christmas, but she's giving me the cold shoulder lately. :(

Let me tell you a short story from the Savage Files:

Years and years ago... maybe 25 or 30 now, I used to go to the Saturday auctions up in Appalachia. I furnished the Savage Manse with hand-made oak items I picked up there.

Well... there was this ugly little magazine holder that nobody was bidding on. So, being the magnanimous man that I am, I bid a dollar. And I won!!!

I took it back to the homestead and proudly displayed it to the kin. My dear old Aunt looked at it and said, "where the hell did you find that crap? I threw that thing in the dump two weeks ago!"

And the circle was complete.

That ugly magazine holder is still in the basement somewhere.
 
Good reaction cycle time, situational awareness and willingness to extricate. These are the key factors in avoiding violent crime.

mugging?

what mugging?
 
Skip the Socratic Method and make your point.

the point is

YOU and ROBBY shit all over ZIMMERMAN and WILSON etc...for what they did....they had 100 times more reason to fear for their LIVES...and they acted in self defense....where was the REASON for R SOUTH to fear a crime and assault a woman?

A mere "fact" that it happened before?

Well, there were rash of ROBBERIES in the Zimmerman area, and T Mart was acting badly and attacked GZ.....

Why did you all attack Wilson and GZ and scream KUDOZE to R SOUTH and congrat him on his genius

WHY?
