I’m not afraid of injury or death. I’ll never be frightened by feral children. I’d rather be on the evening news than let a gang of children intimidate me. It’s the ignorance of the adults who raised them that gives me dreadful cause for concern. That, and the impotence and cowardice of the adults who are afraid to speak out or bring these kids to book. I think it might be why I visit here on and off: to understand the sewer of life. And before I am stoned, that comment is aimed at a select few.
Of course, another reason I visit is to touch base with dagger. I guess none of us are perfect.

never realised we played baseball

Don’t you dare mention fields!

We have a “gang” where I live, pretty harmless lads but intimidating on the eye when they are together after dark. Sometimes coming home from work I have no choice but to walk through them, but we have kind of built up a bit of a rapport, and now they nod and say “alllrite” and I smile and say “evenin” and they are fine.

Sometimes not all gangs are hellbent on terrorising people. They are nothing more than inbetween child and adult hood and are just simply hanging out with similar inbetweners.Nor should they be judged for being violent for looking the way they do. Its called wearing the latest fashion, the same way skinheads and punks and mods used to back in their days, and were equally picked on for it.

Oh. Would you care to come to dinner?
