Comments on: Random Reader Rant and/or Revel http://www.princeofpetworth.com/2009/05/random-reader-rant-andor-revel-54/ Welcome to the beautiful life Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:31:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Very Anon http://www.princeofpetworth.com/2009/05/random-reader-rant-andor-revel-54/#comment-18428 Very Anon Tue, 12 May 2009 02:48:42 +0000 http://www.princeofpetworth.com/2009/05/random-reader-rant-andor-revel-54/#comment-18428 This is a rant - I was walking home on Sunday evening (7.30pm) - it was still light out, and I saw 2 boys pushing a motorbike - heading east along Euclid between 14th and 15th...they had come out of University place, and it was apparent that they were stealing the bike. Called cops. Saw that the people behind me were also calling the cops. had to rush home bc of small baby. I'm hoping those kids were caught and feel like I should have said/done something, but unfortunately, I'm a small woman and kids in this neighborhood scare me and I don't know who is packing heat. Isn't that pathetic? To whoever probably had their bike stolen, sorry, I hope those 2 boys were apprehended (they can't have been over 16 years old - and so brazen...it was still light out and people were out and about) and I hope you got your bike back. I feel like a loser for suppressing my naturally confrontational nature due to fear of random acts of violence. And constantly worry about being shot. Same thing happens when I see the people driving up on Fairmont to buy drugs (yes you, Korean dude in the Honda Accord, I see you ALL THE Time you hopped-up freak!). I just look away and keep walking.

They are able to take the peanut butter off the mousetrap without making the trap snap. I ended up putting four in a block and although the Darwins were usually able to clean the peanut butter off two of the traps, it was the third (or fourth) that was their downfall. No more mousehouse. My mice are all named Darwin. They are able to take the peanut butter off the mousetrap without making the trap snap.

Would you be so kind as to ask about wheat-free items, if you think of it? After doing a little research on Pete's Pizza in Columbia Heights, I found out they have wheat-free pizza and beer! Fabulous! Hi Pop, Can I offer a suggestion for when you visit local restaurants? Would you be so kind as to ask about wheat-free items, if you think of it?

But for things you do. Your post serves notice that my wording was correct though. I do not carry a gun. I own one. But if you want to pass that along to them, be my guest. They can't even catch known criminals. Two weeks ago, my roommate was robbed at gunpoint on my back porch. All they kept asking him was if the gun was metal or plastic. Now you want to burden them with arresting someone that poses no threat to you or anyone else? That makes very little sense. But then again, if you are worried about nonviolent people owning guns, then that only highlights the problem we have in this city. Plenty of people shoot guns for sport. Gun ranges. Hunting. Collector's items. Somewhere in your mind, you must be able to separate people that walk around with AK 47's and the people that own hunting rifles or guns used for their own protection. Or maybe you are one of those that would rather wipe your ass with the 2nd amendment. Every gun I have ever owned has been purchased LEGALLY. Not from some straw purchaser. Or off the street hot. Guns are not going away. You would be better served calling the police on the baby factories that are producing young black men that will blow your head off over your ipod or your iphone. # Anon Says:

Somewhere in your mind, you must be able to separate people that walk around with AK 47′s and the people that own hunting rifles or guns used for their own protection. Or maybe you are one of those that would rather wipe your ass with the 2nd amendment. Every gun I have ever owned has been purchased LEGALLY. Not from some straw purchaser. Or off the street hot.

And a general question to PoPers - is anyone else getting a security warning every time they enter this site as well as each time you click on a topic? I keep getting a box IE Security Warning with a request to install Adobe Flash player. My friend said you shouldn't even click on the close box or or the "don't Install" box, but do a ctrl,alt,delete and then remove it somehow, but I can't make that work. I did a full system Spybot scan and came up clean. I don't get it on any other websites. Anyone else having trouble? Naomi – you need a rat zapper! http://www.ratzapper.com/zapper-ultra.cfm

Nate – don’t dis my girly gun!
