If you are surprised by anything going on in St. Louis right now, pick up a Bible-it's all been forcasted a long time ago.  I had and have mixed feeling about these hooligans because I was once a teenager, but I had what I see now as a high level of respect for adults and people period.  Then there's the other side, I was taught to.  I remember being mad one day I was on the Metro because I witnessed a guy get robbed.  I was standing there with several other men and we didn't do anything (the kid had a gun).  I felt powerless and pissed because it was so braven and it could have been me.  I find myself thinking about how some of the youths don't have any structure, love, respect, or discipline in their lives and I at times feel for their past.  All that is out the window once it becomes violent and I don't want to be a footnote in some wanna be's jail talk.  Some are Lost, most have chosen to be evil.  It's all funny until somebody goes all Bernard Goetz on them, then they want to be kids again.  If you ride Metro-pack heat-because the criminals do.

The police have taken at least 5 cars from me personally, the last because I had the wrong plates on the car (used to be a ticket and fine).  They enjoy doing it because the nice Lt. Sounders (if I remeber his name right) served me with a smile, as did the speedy tow truck driver who physically took my car.  It seemed that it was a game or funny to them.  I gave them my car key and told them to have a nice day because I knew there was nothing I could do about it.  I did think it was weird that it a City that had just been declared the Most Dangerous In the Nation, a Liutenent of the Police Force was riding around getting cars towed and not tracking down MURDERS!   I saw him for weeks after that prowling my neighborhood and snatching peoples cars for whatever minor or major things their cars did.  I just wanted to know how can two people smile at a person while they are taking his way of getting back and forth to work that he paid for even after realizing he'd been taken by ERVINS AUTO SALES on MORGANFORD.  I couldn't get it registered because it wouldn't pass emissions or safety but I had insurance (they don't care if it's registered).  I just hope he was a friend or crony of the Chief (I really, really liked him) and can laugh at his "misfortune" as he did mine.
