They started harassing SO for NO REASON AT ALL, they were just being the complete scums they were. We tried reporting the incident to the local police, and their attitude was so-what-we-don't-care-by-the-way-why-did-you-provoke-them? So much for the "justice" system. People wonder why I'm so bitter all the time, but after looking at the world around me, I can't help it. Sometimes I wish it were legal to blow these people away; then they would think twice about it. Also, it would help control the population. I wanted to laugh when the Governor said in his "State of the state" speech about making the streets a safer place to be or some such, but I felt more like crying. It's getting pretty bad when a person can't walk down the street without being harrassed/insulted/worse. It really burns me to see people defending these scums and saying why- don't-we-set-them-free-to-do-it-again! Hey, Europe/Canada, can people walk the streets and go about their business in comparative safety? Got two jobs open for us?
