Who needs a gun in downtown Norfolk?

For anyone wondering why Durham is crime riddled, check out the demographics.

I did, its slightly less...uh, "diverse" than Norfolk actually....by about 4%.

you should check the history behind Durham as well.... A lot of the diverse population there doesn't "exist" to the census bureau as they don't respond to the paperwork.

the ring leader said "you scared ain't you mother******" I pulled out my .380 and said "Not really, I have 8 bullets and there are 6 of you, who wants the extra 2?"

Next time, tell him:

"I sure am afraid you'll kill me. That's why I'm going to shoot your @ss if you don't run."

BECAUSE:
(1) If you've got any sense, it's the truth, and
(2) It delivers exactly the right message to your protagonist, and
(3) It builds your case for self-defense if you are later quoted by a witness, and
(4) It's almost as cool as what you said.

FROM THE LINKED ARTICLE:
"Forster and Rostami were victims of what police described as a simple assault, and, initially, they did not want to be named in a news story. If these were the circumstances with anyone in the community, we would not have done a story."
...........................
REALLY? Anyone who doesn't want to be deemed "newsworthy" can just request that no story be written and the request will be honored by this newspaper?

Folks, as an old country boy, I know what fertilizer looks and smells like, and this here ain't just fertilizer, it's PURE BULLSH!T.

Durham still has a decent number of housing projects like the ones off of Old Oxford Highway and several others dotting the city. Crime rates are very high in the areas that these projects are near. Also, Duke University has a number of naive freshmen come in every year who provide easy robbery targets for the criminals in the surrounding area.

Does anyone else think it's unusual that when a white guy does something to anyone with a nonwhite background it's "Hate Crimes", but if anyone with a nonwhite background makes BLATANT racial statements during a crime it's "simple assault"?

Just me, but that seems uneven. How about removing "hate crimes" from any crime, and punish everyone ACCORDINGLY!?

That doesn't fit the "kill whitey-seriously, its open season" agenda though.

Can't wait until this place looks like modern post-Apartheid paradise of diversity Südafrika. Or even better, the former Rhodesia.
