He called the police

Sorry Che, I am glad you are okay.

Mike, the thought of going to prison is a nightmare to me. Not because I'm worried about doing time, or the food or the lack of freedom, though these things would definately suck. The main deterrent for me is getting raped by a black gang. If that makes me a racist in your view, oh well.

I believe alot of white people feel this way. I don't believe the average black guy who is likely to go to prison feels this way. He doesn't fear rape because he is in the majority and likely is already in a gang before he went to prison. If that statement makes me racist in your view, that's life.

I believe I'm not a racist however, but a realist.

It portrays the black person as a strong whiteman rapist unlikely to be dettered by the thought of going to jail and the white person as a weak potential victim who is more likely to stay within the law because of their fear of the consequences.

I'd say such generalisations based on skin colour alone were racist.

Naw, it's only racist when you exagerate it like that.
You didn't have a problem with my first post where my conclusion was
"Hence minority white prisoners are more at risk of being sodomized."

It logically follows that heightened fear of the increased risk MIGHT act as a deterant. So no, I still don't think it's racist.

I got a shiner. I have to go into my first day of work looking like a freak and someone who gets into fights. This is really what upsets me most. I have once chance to make a first impression.

"Che, what happened to your eye?"

"Eh, no biggie. I got jumped by five guys who tried to rob me, and one of them got in a lucky punch."
(But whatever you do, don't mention you were riding on a girl's bicycle at the time )

I recommend carrying mace or some sort of chemical repellant. It will cause you less legal trouble than shooting the pr*cks.

A cattle prod, maybe?

In New England, to kill in sele defence is just as accepted as it is in any other part of the country...

But what's self defense? If you try to car-jack me or break into my house and I'm home you're dead meat. It doesnt matter whether you have a gun or not. Nobody is gonna prosecute you for it in the south. Can you say the same in the North East states? I very much doubt it. You have too many bleeding hearts who think that shooting someone who doesnt have a gun is not self defense. We have many of them on this site.

[Jac de Molay]

I don't think Big NE cities like New York and Boston are any more or less "bleeding heart" than the South.

I think mono's referring to the case where four toughs attempted to mug an old man in the subway. When he pulled a gun, they tried to flee. But he shot them all in the back and was prosecuted.

Why do you think it would be fair to shoot an unarmed man. without warning?

I agree that if you try to stop him, and he doesn't stop, you should be able to shoot him, but you should tell him to freeze, first?

Zkribbler, you may be refering to Bernie Getz (nerdy white guy) who was prosecuted for shooting 2 or 3 of 4 'black youths' who he claimed were planning on mugging him. He had been mugged before and was fearful of riding the subway so he carried an illegal handgun. They admitted they were '****in' with him. Later on it came out that he had shot one or two in the back. He was vilified and prosecuted. He was acquitted by his NY peers in the first trial but tried under some other statute later and convicted in some upstate court. The punks he shot were virtually held up as heros. The fact that they all had convictions for assault prior to this incident and that at least 2 of them were later imprisoned for rape and murder and was conveniently forgotten.

If you try to car jack me or break into my house I will shoot you. I wont warn you. It would be stupid on my part to do so.
