My neighbors fence.

My neighbor put up a nice new fence along the west side of his house, which "fronts" a side street. He's straight across from me and keeps his place REALLY nice. First his new fence was graffitied, then last night , I heard a cop coming toward my place with sy-reens (like to say it that way) blaring. BANG!! ADIOS FENCE. There were 4 guys in the SUV, they missed the corner and the vehicle was totaled. About 8 cop cars were almost immediately on the scene with guns drawn hiding behind their cars. GET ON THE GROUND!! GET ON THE FUCKIN' GROUND!!

They hollered at me to get back in my house and since they had guns out and tempers ridin' that adrenalin high--I complied. What with the huge fire next to my house earlier this year and the guy that put a hose from his exhaust pipe into his car and killed himself and his cat across the street--and the woman that got hauled away to the mental joint 2 doors down from me a couple of weeks ago-- the fun never stops!! Actually, it's a real quiet neighborhood most of the time. So it goes.

 

Well at least now he'll get a new fence at the cities expense. Hopefully this time nobody will write on it

 

Wow, Scratch!

That reminds me of the New Year's Eve that hubby was sitting on the front porch, frying hog jowl in an electric skillet, when a car comes flying down the street. Our street is a dead end. When the driver noticed that he locked up his brakes. About that time a police car, in pursuit comes flying up. The cop jumps out with his gun drawn, yelling at the driver all the usual stuff. We were just sitting there praying the guy didn't get out and start shooting. Our house is only about 40 feet off the road and it was right in front of our house. The cop got him locked up without incident.

I heard the back up cops talking about how he had come flying around the curve on the highway on the wrong side of the road and had almost hit the cop head on.

Well, he didn't fucking hit him but the cop felt like he needed to come hauling ass after him and potentially threaten our lives? Fucker.

 

Yeah, sounds like a real quiet neighborhood


Similar in some respects to South Central Los Angeles



Hotwater

 

Nah, Mr hotwater. Not at all. In February I will have been here 9 years and what I mentioned is the sum total of the BS. I know it sounds like I live in the down town area of a big city.

Arei---never hurts to have some excitement, I suppose. ( I'm going to act like I never heard the words--hog jowl).

I saw some Keystone Cop action in Hawaii one time. A cop and a guy were literally running around in about a 20 foot circle with the cops gun aiming at the guy while hollering "stop--or I'll shoot!" Round and round they went. I was on a balcony above them and I thought the sucker was gonna' shoot the poor guy. Found out, the guy spoke no english. But it was funny watching them run in a circle like that.

 

Geeze! I've never seen anythinkg remotely similar. Now I see where you get your writing style. You've seen a lot!

 

LOL, Scratcho that sounds hysterically funny!

 

OK scratcho, just for the sake of argument, if they hadn't had their guns pulled, would you have not complied?

 

Probably would have anyway---they were extremely uptight! Although I have smart-assed cops before-----but not with guns out.

Well, I take that back. I hauled ass one time, jumped a fence and booked it into the boondocks when I suddenly remembered that I was allergic to confinement!!

 

I feel bad for them

 

Yeah--me too. The cat sure as hell didn't deserve it.

 

. . .

 

A common theme among people who break the law and get away with it is that somewhere along the line--could be a few days, or could be a few years--they eventually screw up and say something to someone about what they've done and how they did it. And whoever they tell will tell someone else, and that person will say something to the wrong person, and BAM, you're busted. I guess what I'm saying to you is, "I'm tellin'."

 

Well now , you go right ahead. It was 1958 --so nah-nah -nah -nah----nah -nah.

 

This! is why I live in the woods...





Well... One of the reasons.



.

 

We moved from the flats of the wild & wooly Haight to the genteel slopes of twin peaks, our neighbors orchid raising little old ladies. One night we had a dozen cop cars out front and a copter overhead! On the sidewalk, a milling crowd of elderly women muttering to each other and as my ex mingled it became clear that what they were muttering were variations of "Haven't seen this many cops up here since Daddy was running rum!"

Turned out a young junkie had stolen a Caddy down at the bottom of the hill and sideswiped a cop and the chase ended out front.

 

So, you think you can wrap yourself in the statute of limitations safety-cloak? Maybe with the modern legal system you can, but not with vigilantes like myself and others who live for this shit. Gotcha, runner!

 

Ya'll best look around ya boy. He just might be wrapping himself in the protection of his fan club as the author of "The Run". :2thumbsup: I don't see hide nor hair o' your posse pard......

 

I wish I lived in the woods. But I spend most days there.

 

Glad you are OK Scratcho.

I wish I lived in the woods too. I live in a small city about a block away from the fire station. I hear the sirens several times daily as they go out. Since I moved here in 1990 my apartment building has had two fires so whenever the sirens approach my place I always catch my breath until they go by. I say a small prayer for whoever they are going on to help but I am also grateful that it is not this place.

Police cars are here on a regular basis but usually not with sirens blaring. I don't live in the best part of town and who knows what all the people in this building are doing.
