Not too bright to spot the camera, finally, put your hand over it, and then take the hand away so
your face would show again.

But, I suppose that's a racist idea.

No - these are three dumb black guys. There are plenty of dumb
Caucasians, too. We see these sort of robberies on the news from time
to time but this is the first one I've seen with audio.

Even up here where the crime rate is a fraction of Flordia's, we know better than to open the door if we can't identify who's there...especially at night.
Y'all southern boys sure are ditzy.

WOW, Johnny.
Surely even you can understand how dangerous it could be to open your door at night when you can't identify who's knocking.
Actually for someone your age and condition, it could be doubly dangerous.

Thats the way they deal with lazy folks who are slackers on
property maintenance.

That's the way things work in this county. If grass, for example, gets over 12" a call to the county
will get it cut and the property owner billed. The fee is added to property taxes if not paid.

......

In my little torn in hayseed Illinois they'll let the grass get taller than that, then send you a letter to react in 30 days( which can make the grass grow higher) then if it's not cut in that time frame, the village will cut it and tack a fee on your water bill. Stuff gets taken care of really quick then..,

Ill bet you country bumpkins don't even have sidewalks.

Not many or as many as we should have. This is still a fairly rural area.

You remain clueless.


You are the one who thinks there are "Not many sidewalks or as many
as we should have" in a rural area. If you really lived in a rural
area there would not be any sidewalks. You go into town for things
like that.


That's because Harry doesn't want to pay for sidewalks. He wants the
government to provide them for him. He's entitled to a sidewalk, you know.

Once again, you don't get it, or have any understanding. Fairfax County
Virginia became too congested for our taste. We wanted to live close to
the Bay. The choices were Anne Arundel or Calvert Counties. Calvert won
out for several reasons...lots of undeveloped space, farms, lower prices
than Annapolis and very important, seven commuter buses a day to and
from DC, an hour's ride for about $4. The sidewalks are for the kids.

I don't know of any schools around here ... and we are in a very rural
area ... where school kids walk to school anymore. Seems like if you
get behind a school bus in the morning or afternoon it is stopping in
front of every house that houses a school kid. Often, the flashing red
lights go out, the bus moves 100 feet or so and then stops again for
another pickup or discharge.

Problems with sicko predators stalking kids put an end to walking any
distance to school.

And I strongly doubt the kids in his neck of the woods walk to school either. The elementary school
kids in my neighborhood walk, but it's only about five blocks. They also walk to the closest middle
school, which is about a mile away. In this county, middle schoolers are expected to walk up to one
and a half miles, elementary up to a mile.
