City is cesspool (safer, retire, office)

[BobNJ1960]

What happened? I know and I plead the 5th.

Straw seats? A conductor? What year was this?

It was a joyous time shared by like minded people.

It usually (under the right circumstances) matters to the media.


Ok ... we'll go with the odds and guess white victims, black or brown perps.

If it really happened - all I have to do is look at the front page of Bing / Yahoo each morning to see examples of this everyday in cities like NYC, San Fran, Baltimore - then I pull up a NYC news channel and hear multiple examples of this everyday.

Are you doubting that it happened? This happened to a friend of mine's brother..... his friend is still in the hospital and you really think I'm making crap up.

It costs money to maintain appearances.

It only does because the media goes so far to hide the identity of the group that is most likely to perpetrate this type of violence.

You really think so? 99% of the time when the news reports crime, they do so with pictures or video of the suspect.
