Post Banned

The racists on next door banned me after the local racists saw my Sweet's photo.....

No notice, no response to my asking when I might be able to return....

Typical tyrants in small places : give them a little power and they go berserkers .

Post Los Angeles

It's an odd place to be sure .

The weather is mostly mild but like any other place, freaks and geeks abound .

Many people mistakenly think California is a liberal place, it most assuredly isn't and gets ever more alt right crazy the father away from the three big cities you get .

OTOH, I've been here more than not since the Summer of 1969 and hope to remain here and eventually die right here in the land of fruits, nuts and flakes .

Sounds like you reside in a cereal box. With flakes, fruit and nuts. Actually from a distance what I hear is that California is just different. Crazy different at times. To us in the far north we envy your climate though.

My father in his youth spent 14 years there. Of course way back then it had to have been much different. That was well over a hundred years ago now.

To me California reminds me a lot of Canada. Another fine place to visit.

Thumbs up The Land Of.........

......Pretty much whatever you want it to be ~

In the three largest cities is fairly progressive but as soon as you're past the suburbs California, all of it, becomes incredibly Conservative, IMO that's part of what keeps it from going off the deep end .

Many who live elsewhere are envious and love to slam California without knowing anything about it .

It's not cheap to live here but you do get a very good dollar value for your taxes .

I grew up way Down East so I'm very Conservative in nature but real Conservatism, not this current B.S. where they lie cheat and steal endlessly and try to blame anyone else for the messes they alone create .

Talking California Living

Barry ;

It's *exactly* what you said but like most places, can be a nice place to live .

Especially if you've previously lived in some not so nice places, I have .

It's best to make burner facebook accounts to troll with.

I keep my regular one clean and used to have troll accounts when I was younger. Long deleted all of them.

You can randomly add people. Most people will accept. Try not to friend people in your immediate circles.

I have no ideal of what would work. As I see it pretty much across north America. As time moves forward lesser crimes are not really being dealt with. This leads the subjects to greater crimes. When we had the break and enter that the police now classify as an illegal entry.

I suggested they try to slow the young fellow we suspected down. They did nothing. He went on a rampage doing all sorts of things. He eventually got a month in jail.

Anyways while acting as a car thief. He hit a police officer on purpose. I assume they had set up a roadblock but do not have that detail. With the officer on the hood he still did not stop. The officer was injured but managed to shoot him through the windshield. He died and the officer is still in the hospital. Personally I believe he had reached the point where he thought he could do anything and pretty much get away with it.

He only got the month in jail because a person reported a death threat by him plus damage to their property and thought he meant the death threat. Drugs where likely involved but that has not been mentioned. .

I have not lived in a few places I have experienced. I do not think the vast majority of people could even imagine they exist. If the truck or car I was in broke down. I probably would have just walked away.

Called the police if they would come if I found a phone. There were no cell phones back then. You really should have had a gun in a couple of them. As I saw it the residents had nothing to lose no matter what they did. Most where almost like zombies. You had to be there.

"I have not lived in a few places I have experienced."

I carried a gun when I was younger, the fact is, most of the time unless you're looking to shoot someone, by the time you realize you need it, it's too late and it's likely to be used against you so I stopped carrying, one less thing to worry about .

I could tell stories here that no one would believe, I'd not believe them had I not lived them, such is life .

I live in South Central L.A. and some places I simply refuse to go but in general I go where I please and treat folks, even the dirt bags, with respect and courtesy, once _they_ chose otherwise all bets are off .

So far so good, it's been a long time since I got my @$$ beat .
