I got jumped - Page 2

How's that for being even?

Good News begats Bad News.

Kind of like Seinfeld was always even. You get a job, you get jumped. It all has a way of evening out doesn't it?

MikeH · March 6, 2003, 12:26

Lancer, what you implied was that prison was a deterrent for white people but not for non-whites. I'm sure some black guys also get raped by other black guys. And, maybe, it's not down to the colour of their skin in many cases but how tough they are. So, therefore, it's racist.

Lancer · March 6, 2003, 12:30

I'm sure black on black rape occurs, you're right. Hell, maybe if I get sent to prison I'll find Bubba, kick his ass and have my way with him. Thank's for the inspiration Mike.

Chegitz - sorry to hear that man, and I'm glad it ain't worse than it was.

If you're going to be stuck on a bike going through that area, find a different route - you're just too easy to ambush, even going fast.

Sorry to hear that Che

MikeH, I see where you're coming from, but let me try a different explaination that gets to the same conclusion and you can judge if it's a racist statement.

THE US judical system is obvioiusly biased against blacks.

I'll bet there are more black prisoners that think that they wouldn't be there if they were white then white prisoners that think they wouldn't be there if they were black.

So to a lot of black prisoners, it's Whiteys fault.

And due to the bias of US judicial system there are more black prisoners then whites. Blacks are the majority and have greater power by being the majority.

Hence minority white prisoners are more at risk of being sodomized.

Well?

A word about prison.
The whole concept is based on people liking freedoms.
If you don't mind loss of those, I guess prison wouldn't be so bad.

MikeH · March 6, 2003, 12:51

rah, I understand that.

Lancer seemed to be implying that the reason that there were more black prisoners was because it would be too horrible for white people to go to jail so they were less likely to commit crime. Which implies that if you are black you have no problem going to jail...

If he had said that white prisoners got a harder time in jail because the system was racist I think that would have been fine.

Che - I thought you were jacked?
sorry to hear about it though - I'd personally get a gun. I have no problem with owning guns, actually - I just feel that they should be registered and that we should only be allowed to have reasonably strong guns, not AK-47s...

In New England, to kill in sele defence is just as accepted as it is in any other part of the country...

rah · March 6, 2003, 12:54

I didn't read his comment that way.
To me it read, prison can be a little more brutal to whites so it might be a bigger deterant.

While I might not agree with that statement, I don't find it racist.

Richelieu · March 6, 2003, 13:01

An American is attacked in the street. 3 or 4 guys tell him to get a gun. Not one suggests that he should call the cops.

MikeH · March 6, 2003, 13:01

It portrays the black person as a strong whiteman rapist unlikely to be dettered by the thought of going to jail and the white person as a weak potential victim who is more likely to stay within the law because of their fear of the consequences.

I'd say such generalisations based on skin colour alone were racist.

From what it sounded like he didn't have a clear view of his attacker, which would have made reporting it to the cops problematic.

Maybe. Maybe not.

"It took a moment for my brain to register what had happened, as I kept peddling, and then noticing that he was still running next to me. So I sped up. I mighta stopped to fight if it was just him, but he had four or five of his boys with him, one of who'm had circled around behind me."

I don't get the same impression but that's beside the point. Not only calling the cops was not the first choice, it wasn't even mentioned.

DuncanK · March 6, 2003, 13:18

Prison is more brutal if you are in a group that is a minority in the prison. More often than not non-hispanic whites are a minority.

He called the police

Sorry Che, I am glad you are okay.

Lancer · March 6, 2003, 14:21

Mike, the thought of going to prison is a nightmare to me. Not because I'm worried about doing time, or the food or the lack of freedom, though these things would definately suck. The main deterrent for me is getting raped by a black gang. If that makes me a racist in your view, oh well.

I believe alot of white people feel this way. I don't believe the average black guy who is likely to go to prison feels this way. He doesn't fear rape because he is in the majority and likely is already in a gang before he went to prison. If that statement makes me racist in your view, that's life.

I believe I'm not a racist however, but a realist.

Naw, it's only racist when you exagerate it like that.
You didn't have a problem with my first post where my conclusion was
"Hence minority white prisoners are more at risk of being sodomized."

It logically follows that heightened fear of the increased risk MIGHT act as a deterant. So no, I still don't think it's racist.

Damn. WTF? it seems these things happen all the time over yours...

Get a gun.

I recommend carrying mace or some sort of chemical repellant. It will cause you less legal trouble than shooting the pr*cks.

A cattle prod, maybe?

But what's self defense? If you try to car-jack me or break into my house and I'm home you're dead meat. It doesnt matter whether you have a gun or not. Nobody is gonna prosecute you for it in the south. Can you say the same in the North East states? I very much doubt it. You have too many bleeding hearts who think that shooting someone who doesnt have a gun is not self defense. We have many of them on this site.

Jac de Molay · March 6, 2003, 15:12

I don't think Big NE cities like New York and Boston are any more or less "bleeding heart" than the South.

Zkribbler · March 6, 2003, 15:14

I think mono's referring to the case where four toughs attempted to mug an old man in the subway. When he pulled a gun, they tried to flee. But he shot them all in the back and was prosecuted.

Why do you think it would be fair to shoot an unarmed man. without warning?

I agree that if you try to stop him, and he doesn't stop, you should be able to shoot him, but you should tell him to freeze, first?

SpencerH · March 6, 2003, 16:20

Zkribbler, you may be refering to Bernie Getz (nerdy white guy) who was prosecuted for shooting 2 or 3 of 4 'black youths' who he claimed were planning on mugging him. He had been mugged before and was fearful of riding the subway so he carried an illegal handgun. They admitted they were '****in' with him. Later on it came out that he had shot one or two in the back. He was vilified and prosecuted. He was acquitted by his NY peers in the first trial but tried under some other statute later and convicted in some upstate court. The punks he shot were virtually held up as heros. The fact that they all had convictions for assault prior to this incident and that at least 2 of them were later imprisoned for rape and murder and was conveniently forgotten.

If you try to car jack me or break into my house I will shoot you. I wont warn you. It would be stupid on my part to do so.
