You people from the rich suburbs make me sick!!

This incident is not an urban thing. I have lived in the city all my life and I have met far better people in the city than in the suburbs. If you live in the suburbs you are most likely snooty, stuck up, and full of yourself. They think they are better than everybody because they make more money, and they drive like they own the streets. Race is not an issue here but many of the people that live in the suburbs are white.

I can remember Columbine. Nothing like that happened in the city, and no one helped those poor boys who were laughed at everyday in high school who decided to carry bombs and guns to school. And as another comment, I bet those people that left that guy there to die were from the suburbs. They probably thought that they were too good to help the poor guy, and just stepped right over him.

P.S. 98 percent of America is insensitive to the plight of other people (especially blacks and hispanics.)

Always amazing how people can be so indifferent to others suffering. I always think of it as self perpetuating bad karma that they have mastered.

So are the lesbians on your Christmas card list?

Simpson riots? The only way we could’ve possibly gotten that would be if he’d been convicted. Maybe not even then.

You mean Rodney King, I’m positive… And during the incident you were referring to, the camera was a television news chopper. Did they ever try calling for any help, or did they just film?

Reminds me of the Simpson Riots in LA. When that truck driver was beeing beaten to death, and nobody offered assistance. No one.

By the way – the post about Lesbians and Appendicitis was one of the best I’ve ever read on the topic.

Why is it that all kinds of inexpensive home video equipment can give you a nice picture, but surveillance equipment can’t even come close?

No wonder the police are hoping for some witnesses to step forward; they sure won’t catch the guy by looking at this video.

This is some pretty chilling stuff, though, regardless of how little you could see on the video.

Funny, the lesbian story reminds me of “Chasing Amy.” Friendly Lesbian, man-hating bull dyke, Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. Which one gets to the 100 dollar bill first?

Yes, the Brave New World certainly is upon us. Apathy, de-sensitisation, blood/war lust, rampant supidity, voyeurism TV, drug use… it’s all there.
Where’s the soma?

Something like that happened to me once (not the shooting, the other story). Suffice to say, hippies may have some dumb politics, but they’re really nice people.

The lesbian neighbor story was the first one I’ve ever read of this site. Does that interest anyone?… Anybody? … Bueler?… Bueler?

I don’t know what to say about the folks ignoring the crime and the body. I’ve never seen anything like it where I’m from.
