The detective testified that surveillance video showed the two suspects approaching the car as they both put their hands on their waistbands, as if to indicate they both had a weapon.

An attempted carjacking Saturday night left a 13-year-old dead after a security officer shot him; another boy, 12, is in custody

    If I poke you in your back with a stick and say “do exactly as I say and you might, just might, live through this”

    Are you seriously going to:

    • go “nah bro, I don’t believe you, go home, you’re drunk” or
    • are you going to take me very fucking seriously and not only comply but also try to think really hard and fast about getting out of dodge using any (and I do mean any) means necessary because you reasonably assume I have a loaded gun pressed against your back?

    If you answer the first option, then we stop now, as you’re clearly being dishonest.

        you won’t believe me

        Correct. I did not.

        I think I’m just pretty dumb

        At least we agree on something

        Cops told me the guy was a simple mugger who had been working the block for about a month, and I should have just given him my wallet, but they also seemed pretty jazzed to have his gun.

        And then everyone clapped

            Yet again you’ve missed the point. And now you reply with emotion and anger instead of thinking, even for a moment.

            I can tell you again and again, as others have done. However, sadly I cannot make you understand.

            For the record, I do not own any weapons. Never have and probably never will.
