A few months ago, some Girl Scouts were robbed about 4 blocks away from where I live.  I'm fine, don't worry about it.

Glad to hear you're okay, those Girl Scouts can be pretty tough!

Bitches should have given up the cookies the first time I asked.

Edit: Haha a google search for "Girl Scouts robbed" brings up two different stories.  The first was the one that happened here, but the second is one that happened in Florida.  Two chicks "mugged" a Girl Scout, then came back to make fun of her and give interviews.  :lmfao:

Is this really that big a deal?  Somebody got their idiot head blown off next door to my complex.  And that's how the shitty under-eighteen (yeah) club across the street got closed down in favor of us decent folk. :)

Hmm, interesting.  Personally I live on the white side of the state. :goodboy:

It is always weird when stuff like this happens near home.

Perhaps when you live in a hamlet.

Spellus might have had some trouble though.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Nobody beats the clock like Mobtown dazzling urbanites!

QuoteAn unidentified man was fatally shot early Wednesday in West Baltimore, the third of three city shootings over a three-minute span, according to police.

The fatal shooting was reported at 12:41 a.m. at the corner of Ruxton Avenue and Baker Street. Police said the man did not have any identification. Further details about the incident were not immediately available.

One minute earlier, police were called to the 3900 block of Elmora Ave. in East Baltimore, where a 28-year-old man was found shot in the chest in a rear alley. The man was taken to an area hospital and was in critical condition, police said.

At 12:39 a.m., officers were called to the corner of Washington Boulevard and Cross Street in Southwest Baltimore after a man was shot in a bar. Police said the man was sitting inside the bar when someone opened fire, striking the victim in the face. Police have not identified the victim.

No arrests have been made in any of the shootings.

Does Kentucky have more than one option?
Aside from the expected urban population, parts of western Kentucky have large populations of rural African-Americans.  Even where I live there are a few.  There's an old black couple that apparently eats breakfast at the gas station every Sunday... I don't go there often on Sunday morning but when I do they're always there.

Interesting observation: rural black folk always seem to have a 'traditional' family (husband and wife + kids if they're not elderly).

A cigar buddy of mine falls into that category.  He grew up somewhere southwest of Louisville in a rural area.  Ended up playing football at Western Kentucky with former Browns coach Romeo Crennel.  Hell of a guy.

:yes:

There's nothing wrong with the "race" (obviously)... it's the urban ghetto culture. -_-

Curiously there were 3 murders in my little town recently.  Two were stalking type thing and the other is a guy who  shot a robber in the face.  The other robbers (who fled) are being charged with felony murder.

I'm sorry to break it to you Seedy, but when you break it down to crime rates per capita, the Yukon Territory has Baltimore beaten handily.

Violent crime rate for Baltimore, Maryland: 1,631 per 100,000
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_cities_by_crime_rate

Violent crime rate for Yukon Territory, Canada: 3,007 per 100,000
