Our Gangs are more polite than your gangs....

We've had a lot of shootings going on around here and lately its picked up. Gang related. The following is from one of our local tv stations:

"The family of a man shot and killed in Portland last Friday said the killer called them to apologize.

Deangelo Oliver, 29, was killed in the shooting, near the intersection of SE 89th and Division and two other people were injured.

Police believe the shooting was gang-related.

Oliver’s aunt told the Oregonian that the shooter, who is still on the run, called the family to apologize. They said they know the shooter and don’t want to release his name.

Police said that kind of response was common when it comes to gang violence".

Well. How 'bout that. Such a good mannered young man, right? I think this screams volumes about the nature of the family involved.

Sometimes its so frustrating that I think okay...let them kill each other then. But that leaves all those random bullets searching for a place to explode. Those are the ones that kill bystanders so that's not an answer. Not an acceptable one.

I wonder if the young man/teen called to apologize because he doesn't want the family coming after him for retaliation. Gangland vengence. Well, good luck with that.

A Couple of Things

I'm so tired of people using my blog to make a couple of pennies. I'm talking about the people who leave comments on a blog post which are clearly meant to promote someone else's business. I'm being used and I don't like it. If I'm not making money from my blogs, I damn sure don't want other people to try to make money. I will delete every comment that even begins to smack of advertising. And puleeese... if your pc is set up to use the Chinese language how many people reading an English language blog will even be able to read your comments. STOP BEING SO FRIGGING LAZY AND GO GET A REGULAR JOB. If you can' work a regular job, then think of something else you can do BESIDES using other people. You stink!

And that Lohan chick. Get over yourself. Try growing up. Readers, did you think of Lindsey Lohan when you saw the e-trade commercial with the babies talking... the one that references Milk-holic Lindsey? She never once crossed my mind. How arrogant to think the world knows her by one name. Alcoholic dementia, no doubt. I hope whomever she is suing fights it to the end, even if it costs a fortune. She could end up having to pay for their legal fees. Cackle, snort.

The census... I found it interesting that the only things the government wants to know is if you are buying your home or renting and what race you are. Do you remember the previous census? I don't... I can't remember if they wanted to know if you have a mortage or not. I find it a little weird.

Seems like I should have a few more rants, but they escape me at the moment.
