I ended up in Brooklyn Central booking 20 years ago in a 3 piece suit, 1 white guy out of 800 guys, after some proactive violence early to survive, I made friends with everyone over the next few days. My takeaway after hours and hours of conversations with young black men from the hood was that if stones ever get thrown, it’s not overeducated middle class white guys, its gonna be the streets. These kids never heard of rage against the machine but knew every conspiracy theory (JFK, lizard people) and actual wart on US history (contras, crack).

Thanks for saving a click. I only read that as murder.

Got the bottom of a 100 step staircase this morning to a coyote staring me down not budging. My instinct was to snarl and howl. More wolf. Solves everything.

I thought that was over

Yeah. I just hate taxes and believe my state is an economic powerhouse. Not in favor of civil war

Maybe time for a Port of Oakland tea party but with… Oh wait… we don’t need imports from the rest of the country and should just stop paying taxes without representation or something
