Oh yeah, BTW... if ya see a black guy OCing in Reading, it's probably me, so say hi. Talk to me one on one and get to know the realme before the "gang-banger" stereotype creeps in your mind. All youngAfrican-American people who own guns and swearare not gangbangers.And besides, with the racial profiling in Reading (Don't EVEN contest me if your not a part of the profiling criteria...I've seen it and beena part of it), I was confronted by the police in the fashion that it wasfor one factor and one factor only. I was a black man with a handgun ina holster walking in Reading, and somehow I was a threat and that's all they cared about. What would you thinkan old white lady woulddo if she seen a young black guy dressed in urban clothingwith a gun on his hip? Grip her purse a little tighter? Really? Racial profilingis still here. Wake up!:banghead:
Did the police speak in a proper tone to me when they confronted me? NO! If they would have, I would have. They should have known the case laws becauseI did and I'm not the police (Doesn't that look bad for them?). I tried to tell them and I tried to show them, but they didn't want to listen. They wanted to lock up a black man with a gun, legal or not. In the end, they were shocked to know thatI knewsome thingsthat I think the entire police department didn't know. They should have listened, instead of taking me and making a wasted trip to City Halljust totake me back to the same place where I got apprehended and get my firearm back. :-D. A cop tell me I "shouldn't" do it? What? :shock:If it's not against the law, I'm doing it, bottom line. Just because one of the members of the hip-hop generation caught on OCing and now you think that the whole thinggonna mess up for the rest of you old fogeys? Wow...a lot of black 21-year-old OCers who listens to hip-hop and speaking "ghetto" language would bea nightmare, wouldn't it? :shock:
Andone lastthing. This is a ******* forum. At leastI spelled my words correctly. Get off of the grammar kick because this is not English Comp 120! (and that was the only swear wordI said in this post. l'm so proud of myself! :-D)
