Because we all have thoughts.

I like both of those.

My next door neighbor had her house broken into on Wednesday; they kicked in her front door. I'd have been home the whole time it was happening-- I feel terrible that I didn't notice anything going on.

The house next to hers has also been hit. Burglary's a problem here. :-/

Sometimes the locked door should remain locked. It's a lesson that burglars don't always grasp, until they're pushing up daisies.

Worked a burglary once where a neighbor called in about the victim's back door being kicked in. We went inside, pointed guns at everyone and brought forth law and order.
One guy put up his hands and revealed watches and jewelry on both arms, from wrist to elbow. When he pointed his hands at the cealing he shouted, "We's just here to mow the lawn." There was a table cloth in the center of the floor, filled with stolen property and both men's pockets were filled with coins, etc.

At trial, after I testified to the "mow the lawn" comment, the defense attny. said there was really no burglary because the pair had not yet left the home with the loot. Didn't work. As this was over 20 years ago I'm sure they're out by now.

"We just here"

I'm guessing that the perpetrator was an 'inner city person', who had been victimized by the White Man's Justice all of his life...

Yes, they blamed their trouble - multiple felonies, etc. - on awful treatment by the white majority. The black judge didn't seem convinced.

The black judge likely knew bullshit when he heard it from a 'brother'.

We had a black lady that ran HR. I had to fire a black police officer on probation, who screwed up by the numbers. Her verdict, "Fire his black ass, he just a nigger with a job."
