Seriously. Let me describe to you where I live: it's a suburban town, fifty or so miles from New York City, in an affluent part of Suffolk County on Long Island. The school district is top rated, the average income soars beyond the national average, and the average price of a home could get you a mansion in other parts of the country.
But there's a problem. It's called "South Setauket." This town, which does not actually share a zip code with the real Setauket (instead, it gets the ghetto 11720 zip code, from garbage Centereach), prides itself on being ghetto. The white kids there dress thug and denounce anything but 50 Cent, and they pimp out their worthless Cavaliers and Ford Probes with Pep-Boy's Discount Chrome Rims and stereo systems with no high frequency speakers, only 15" subwoofers.
In high school, we outnumbered them. Plus, we could see right through these thug punks, and we destroyed them daily. They never won fights back then. They also didn't bring weapons to school back then. I remember walking the halls with my girlfriend as a senior, and threatening a bunch of these halfway thugs if they didn't turn off their fucking boom box. They knew who I ran with, and they were submissive. They turned that shit off fast as fuck.
This morning, I walked out to my car in my quiet condominium community. About three spaces down was parked a white 350Z, same model as mine, only one big difference: someone jacked the rims last night.
My car was closer to the entrance. They had to have walked or drove right by my Z to get to his, and maybe because I have my winter rims on and their not in great shape, or maybe because my alarm is better, but for some reason, they had their choice of rims and they picked his. Could've easily have been mine.
This is not Canarsie, this is not Washington Heights, hell, this ain't even Central Islip (Suffolk's largest ghetto next to Wyandanch). So why are people jackin' rims here? I was told that my condo parking lot was a hotbed for broken-into vehicles, but I honestly thought that since I didn't have a system or rims of any worth, my car would be okay. Obviously it is not. At lunch today, I need to go to the local auto store and spend $50 on a good set of wheel locks. I shouldn't have to do that, not when I live in a neighborhood where the average yearly salary is $75,000 a year.
Imagine waking up to that? I'm even considering getting the beeper attachment for my alarm, which will go off when the alarm is set off. I would just love the chance to grab a baseball bat, run outside, and smash some thugs' faces. Seriously, I'd just kill 'em, I don't care if I get jail time. I'll even keep knives to plant on their bodies for a good self-defense plea in court. The world would be a better place without them. I picture myself slamming the bat into their skull until their brains; if they even have brains, spew out onto the cold concrete. You think that's overreacting? I don't. You want to fuck with someone else's property? Drive out to Brooklyn and do it there. Let's see what a real gangsta thinks about you white boy fucks jackin' rims.
So now it's going to be hard for me to rest easy at night. I'll keep waking up, looking out the window, worrying that some piece of shit worthless sub-human from South Setauket is going to cross the highway, come into my neighborhood and rip off a set of wheels that he'd be lucky to get $400 for on eBay. Why, just to score some cash for weed? It's not even ghetto enough for these punks to do a real ghetto drug, like crack or heroin. No, they just smoke weed. Punks. I guess we didn't teach those worthless fucks a good enough lesson in high school.
It's even worse there nowadays. South Setauket keeps expanding, building new homes. The price of housing is soaring. The families that live in the nice homes, where I grew up, are aging. People with young kids simply can't afford to live there, so they're moving to the "ghetto". The decent, intelligent, hardworking students that once were able to overpower these little bustas from "South Central" Setauket, are now being outnumbered. I've talked to some little brothers of friends of mine, and they tell me the high school is just crawling with gangsta wannabies. It's terrible. Even the largest kids, on the Football and LaCrosse teams, don't fuck around with the ghetto kids because they bring knives to school. And the thugs have older brothers, near my age, who never went to college and just sit around their parent's garbage house all day, waiting for their high school sibling to come home and tell them who to fight. These dickheads should be out working to pay the rent, but instead they fight highschool kids. What a glamourous life you have, cocksucker.
It's just too bad that things are spiraling down, and there doesn't seem to be any hope. It's strange that in a place with such high property values and inflated salaries, the crime just gets worse and worse. One day, you might not see me posting on Uber anymore. There's a good chance I will be in jail for manslaughter, because seriously, I'm pretty good with a baseball bat and if I get the chance, I'm smashing one of these thieving thugs in the head. And they might not get up.

I saw that you're considering getting a gun. I suggest not only getting a pistol, such as a Beretta 92FS 9mm or maybe a Kimber 1911 .45 ACP, but also a SKS. SKS are old soviet guns that are often confused as "assult weapons" though they were never made to be full auto. You can get them for cheap at a pawn shop or gun show for about $200. You can also use a 30rnd banana clip if you make some small alterations to it. Just think of some punk kid seeing you with that SKS. He'd shit himself until he died from dehydration.

Good luck with that Doug.
Don't fuck up your own life with a record that will follow you for ever.
I have had enough trouble with a "Drunk and Disorderly" and a "Public Nusiance" arrest.
They never let you forget even the most minor shit.

Careful what you guys wish for as far as vigilante justice.....
My freshman year of college I moved into a ghetto ass apartment by myself in the shady part of San Diego. I had a 99 Mercury Cougar, not spectacular but it looked nice, on 18 '' rims with a decent stereo. I was up late one night doing an article for the paper when I glanced out my window to the street where some guy was trying to break off my wheel locks. I take the clip out of my gun, slip it into my pocket, and go out there. The minute the guy saw that I had a gun, he ran for it.
About 2 hours later, app. 4:30 AM, cops show up at my door with the thief. They ask me "did you assault this man with a firearm"? When I explained what happened, they took us both down to the precinct for further questioning. I was detained for protecting my own property. Good times.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jesus, that fucking sucks. I was just talking with my friend about registering and purchasing some sort of firearm, at least a little .22 or something, but perhaps a 9mm. I'm good with a bat, but I'd feel more comfortable with a nickel nine by my side.

===============================
whats wrong with that? you were detained for protecting, and he was arrested for attempty robbery. (is that even a crime?)
you should have pistol whipped him until he cried.
but also, that was likely a "real gangsta" not a "fake white gangsta"

i hate people like that, so incredibly much, i can't even get it across.
here's what you need to tell your highschool friends' little brothers to do:
gather up all the 'jocks' and 'nerds' and have them hunt 'thugs.' just roll around in packs of 10 (for the nerds) and 2 (jocks) and fuck up every "thug" you see. every one.
big brothers of 'thugs' can't fight everybody. just keep fucking them up until they return to their orignal skin colors' culture.
i'm going to have to get one of those beeper-alarms...
...or a gun turret.
i did'nt even consider the fact that i'd be pissed about my car getting stolen until i read this. "i have insurance," i said.
but the emotion i am feeling about my new (future) car (5 days) right now is unbelieveable. I just visualized myself cracking someone in the face with a barry-bonds-bat-speed-style swing. I wouldn't even yell at them, i'd sneak up.
i gotta go to the sporting goods store.

Move to Canada, or better yet, Montreal. Even when the thugs outnumber the normals, you still don't have to worry, because hell, who was ever scared of a French speaking 'gangsta'?

I second that. But he might go bersek and kill a few. Gansta' talk in butchered french is probably the most annoying thing ever. Numerous rides on the night bus will teach you that.

Between age 16 and age 20, I was mugged 4 times in Downtown Denver. The first two times, they got around $100 each.
Third time, they get maybe $5, cause I stopped carrying cash.
Fourth time, one of them got $15, the other got a jacked up nose and knee.
I was a bit pissed off about everything by then...
But since I turned 20, I've never been mugged, only been in one out-of-work fight, and had a window busted on my Trooper last week by punks who were pissed off I drove over a cone they were using for street soccer.

Back in 1979, when I was in college and a lowly clerk at a downtown record store, I used to park my shitbox 1974 mercury Montego in an outdorr lot shared by Xerox executives, who drove their Beamers and Mercedes and parked them in this lot.
Came out of work one night to find MY car stolen. Out of all the choices , they stole the shitbox.
A couple of days later, a friend of mine asked me what I was doing at "The Mall" on Saturday.
We were not at the mall. We drove to the Mall, my dad and I, and sure enough, my car was there. Golf clubg gone, except a 2 iron, stereo ripped out...ignition ripped out. But we got it back.
I've been mugged at knifepoint by a bunch of 14 year old negros for $7....I did grab one of them and put him in a strnaglehold until they AT LEAST gave me my lisence back.
Apartment broken into back in around '85 and a bike stolen...but that was all.
Golf clubs stolen from garage the DAY BEFORE a three days golf trip with my dad and 6 other guys back in around 1992, in Rochester. Luckily, my insurance agent- for the home owners- was part of this eightsome He told me...just buy clubs when we got to Ohio...so I did.
If you live long enough, you'll be the victim of crime. Just pray that you're packing either heat, or a three iron, when it hits you.

Jeez. Little punks. You should get what we got back home, they just legalised it: A canister of high-pressure gas sits under the chassis, in-line with the drivers door. If you push a button while you're in the drivers seat, or the drivers door gets forced open when the alarm is on, the gas shoots out and is light by a pyzo-electric crystal spark. Instant fireball, toasting the beyatch that's trying to boost your wheels... And I haven't even told you about the pepper gas products yet...

Yeah shlong, wouldn't it kick ass to catch someone stealing your shit?
By the way, I WAS robbed about seven years ago. When I was in high school, someone cased my ride, and when I went away to college, they lifted everything from my car. In dash DVD player, 12 disc changer, several component sets of component speakers, a bandpass subwoofer enclosure, a 12" sub, three amps, and my Vanillaroma Air-Freshener. My father walked out to my car, in a driveway in a neighborhood with 10 houses all costing above $800,000, to find his son's car stripped.
So yeah I have been robbed before, and it pissed me off back then, but I got over it. Insurance didn't cover that kind of shit - so I lost $5,000 worth of gear.
I didn't even bother mentioning it in this post.
