I would love to see what the net government spending on that 93k is. ---------- "Sounds to me like you guys a couple of bookies" - Billy Ray Valentine "No I am not scared, and neither should you be!" - Iraqi Information Minister 2012-07-18 10:14:20 Permalink

I hope you guys don't mind, but I copied your thoughts (Snoop Dog, Dr. Dre...taxing Gin/Juice) and posted them everywhere, along with a link to this story. ---------- �To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.� Thomas Jefferson 2012-07-18 11:32:53 Permalink

Super_z Posts: 419 Incept: 2008-01-19 Philly	Compton is not part of L.A.? California has so much redundant government. Snoop Dogg is from Long Beach by the way. But maybe MC Ren and DJ Yella can kick in some bucks. The Raiders' return to L.A. could help jump start hat sales as well. ---------- "Pay no attention to Caeser, Caeser doesn't have the slightest idea what's really going on." - Kurt Vonnegut RIP 2012-07-18 19:18:07 Permalink

Christiangustafson Posts: 4140 Incept: 2007-06-27 Helping Hand Acceptance Corporation Banned	It will be interesting to say the least what happens if the Compton po'lice are out of commission. A well-organized gang can actually help maintain order, if on their terms. The Blackstone Rangers, on the orders of Jeff Fort, kept a lid on the South Side of Chicago after MLK Jr was assassinated. The disorganized West Side burned instead. ---------- It is therefore, on opinion only that government is founded... -- Hume 2012-07-18 21:33:47 Permalink

I'm always confusing one dump for another. The last thing I did in CA was drive North as fast as possible without getting pulled over. ---------- "Better to die on your feet than live on your knees" Last modified: 2012-07-19 12:58:39 by flaps10 2012-07-19 12:58:12 Permalink

We have Oregon as a barrier, but we need a full 38th-parallel-style DMZ at the Columbia River.

Travanx Posts: 2957 Incept: 2007-11-07 Downtown Los Angeleez, Killafornia	The crazy thing is that gang wars are starting to come back in some of the recently gentrifying areas of Los Angeles. We were driving around looking for a taco truck when bam LAPD all over the place in Eagle Rock around 2:30am this morning. Streets closed for half a mile with the ghetto bird circling. And then this, almost bought a house, about 3 months ago, 4 blocks away from one of these incidents. Over $300/sqft. http://eaglerock.patch.com/articles/teen.... "An hour or less after two men fired shots into a group of people near Franklin High School Thursday afternoon, a second shooting has occurred in Highland Park. According to Highland Park Senior Lead Officer Mark Allen, two female teenagers were sitting near the Highland Park Recreation Center (6150 Piedmont Ave.) when they were approached by two suspects who opened fire on the girls at around 4:40 p.m. One of the teenagers was wounded and rushed to hospital by LAFD paramedics, Allen said, adding that no further details were available about the incident. Neither the gender nor the identity of the suspects is yet known. Allen told Patch that he did not know if the earlier shooting incident near Franklin High was in any way connected to the latest events." ---------- What does that even mean? It's provocative. It gets the crowd going! 2012-07-21 18:46:22 Permalink
