Take a class on how to defend yourself.
Then arm yourself so that you can protect your wife, your husband, your children, your parents, and other loved ones. from the vermin who would prey on you and kill you just to see the look on your face.
Refuse to be a victim to these savages!
please, enough of this
Shoo flea.
the 10 year old shouldn't have been out at 11:20 pm. And she sholdn't have been playing in a hydrant. not that she should have been shot, but parents need to take responsibility of... well.. being shitty parents.
EDIT: She was actually with her mother's boyfriend.

This is why when I visit a city like Chicago, I ask the person at the car rental desk to take a Sharpie and trace a line around the sections of the city I don't want to find myself in.
The U of C does this with admitted students.
So the whole campus is outlined?
The DMZ is bounded by 47th St, Cottage Grove, the Midway, and the lake. Closer to the center or Indian Village, the better.
Ironic coming from someone with NYC in their name.
I already know where not to go in NYC.
NYPD brass 'demand explanation' for shooting rise
By Larry Celona , Doug Auer and Jamie Schram The New York Post
NEW YORK — NYPD brass have demanded that three commanding officers explain at next week's CompStat meetings why shootings are on the rise in their precincts, The Post has learned.
The 46th, 67th and 103rd precincts — University Heights in The Bronx, East Flatbush in Brooklyn and Jamaica in Queens, respectively — have some of the most significant spikes in violent crimes in the city, a source said.
The "commanding officers will get yelled at," a law-enforcement source with knowledge of the meetings said yesterday.

You made my point for me. East Flatbush and Jamaica -- I'll add South Ozone Park, Corona and parts of Queens Village.
Yeah, like all of it.
I see what you did there.
GANG violence. Not Gun violence.
Damn Pilgrims.
