It happened again...Stuck in traffic at the intersection of Cicero Ave and I55/Stevenson Expy several cars back from the red light waiting to get on the freeway. 3 people wandering around the stopped traffic with squeegies and water in spray bottles. Spray first, beg for money, and maybe get the water squeegied off.
I didn't offer any money after getting the windshield sprayed and they didn't squeegie if off. So I hit the wipers/washers in the car and cleaned it off that way.
One of them got a little wet from the spray so he thumped my hood with an open palm and started yelling about "f'ing **** white guys". Great timing of the red light, as the arrow turned green and let about 10 of us through. I would have ran the arrow if it turned red before I got to turn.
SERIOUSLY???!!! I don't care if they were black, white, green, blue or purple, they weren't getting a dime. I'm almost sure these are the same people that have been there for a long time. And the same ones who have refused my offers in the past to get them food from one of the places nearby.
I have a front and rear dashcam now and as soon as I figure out how to cut/paste clips I'll have fun posting video of instances like this. Stay tuned!
Ok rant over. :-)

Thank GOD I have yet to see this in Los Angeles.
Had a meth head lunging at us at our dog park and threatening some of the women. I called the tops. Everyone scattered because he was getting more aggressive.
Cops came in 10 minutes which was impressive but the tweaker was long gone. I'm tempted to just say from now on that it looks like he has a needle in his hands if it happens again.
