...and the people who have experienced the hood and who like to pretend it was a fucking paradise for political points. I lived in the 'nice' part of a very ghetto city for a few years (where the old mob guys wouldn't let the gangs operate), had my windows smashed, license plates stolen, cops do nothing, won't even take a report for insurance. Park would be nice but it's full of garbage and crack heads that stare you down weighing their chances. Street preacher with a fucking PA system wakes you up every Sunday morning shouting in beanerified spanish. Any civilized place in the whole city (bar, restaurant, w/e) closes at 6:00pm, nothing but shutters. Buy your smokes through 2 inches of bulletproof glass. Garbage juice, roaches, rats, fucking ass hole land lords, fucking ass hole tenants, dilapidated buildings everywhere, police checkpoints... Some fuck was evading, tried to mow down a crowd at the closest thing we had to the grocery store, cop pops him, chimps shut down traffic all day "He wuz a gud boi he ain't do nuffin." Had to attend traffic court once and it could have passed for one of the circles of hell... "Here is that registration bailiff" watch as he puts my file at the bottom and a part of my soul dies. Judge bans cellphones and I don't even care about the ticket anymore, the process is the punishment. Queue over 2 hours of "How do you plead?"... "I ain't did nuffin!"... "Do you plead guilty or innocent?"... "I tol ya'll I 'ain't do sheeeit!"... Finally gets to me, plea, judge sees paperwork, $15 court fee, "Next!" took all of 45 seconds. Go out to pay my fee at the window. "Oh, we closed." ... "What the fuck do you mean 'you closed', I just finished with the judge?" ... "You gotsa come back tomorrow." .. Back the next day "Dat's a $40 late fee." AGGHGGGHHGG! Fuck democrats and fuck niggers!
