I was hopin San Diego, so I could hook up with Oerdin and go beer drinking with him.

You could go to the SD Polymeet.

Or, if you can't make it, we can do a SD mini-meet with just you, me, and Oerdin (since Diss can only get down here on Wednesdays and Thursdays)

The reality is these guys can get someone local in LA who won't insist on money up front, relocation expenses, etc... Still, if you don't ask you don't get.

Which is why I wondered why they bothered to contact me at all. There have got to be literally hundreds if not
thousands of web designers in the LA metro area. Why pester one five thousand miles away? But hey, if you're willing to shell out $50 an hour, then you should be willing to come up with some up front costs.

Yeah, I saw video of that car thief getting shot but the cops seemed to follow procedures with this case. Now that unarmed black kid who got shot 100 times a few days ago did seem more then a bit excessive. Turned out to be mistaken identity as well.

Are we thinking of the same shooting??? There was an incident of a pursuit following a gang shooting. It turns out the the guy being chased was not involved in the shooting, was unarmed but was high on crystal meth. The chase ended with the sheriffs firing 120 rounds at the SUV. The driver suffered one minor wound and a deputy was also hit.

che - rememeber rents in L.A. are very high. I don't know what you're paying now, but I'll be you end up paying twice that while you're in L.A.

If, Zrib, if. I don't consider this very likely, and I don't really want to come. That's why I can afford to be pissy with the recruiter, and demand they make it worth my time.

120 shots and the driver was hit only once???? Sounds like the police need more time on the range.

They also managed to hit a couple of fellow deputies, and sent some bullets into some homes nearby.

So yeah, in this particular case, they did a really bad job.

If only they had a missle launcher

The one where the guy got killed seemed totally justified. He came out with a gun. They shot him (looked like they tried to wound him). When he was on the ground, he tried to reach for his gun again. They shot him again (looked like they tried for a kill shot).

[Ted Striker]

Yeah they did a good job in that case. That idiot almost ran over a bunch of people. He had just come from a home invasion and rape and was also a three strikes offender.

About 2 months ago I almost got sideswipped by some idiot flying down PCH. He flew by me and then came back towards our lane. He had 3 Sherrifs chasing him down, then he ran a red light and almost swerved up into the gas station, and almost hitting some cars.

It was just like you see it on tv.

Did they shoot that piece of sh!t? [/LA lingo]

[Japher]

Actually Ecth

it would be "Day shot dat piece of sheit"

yeah, I was more trying to follow the words I learned in their movies, not the particular accent

I never heard anything about the kid being high and I heard 100 rounds were fired at his stopped SUV while he was shot 4 times. It was in Compton, of course.

IF the LAPD is firing 100 rounds and only hit the target 4 times then they need more fire arms training.

That's more of a black south-central thing then a California thing.
