Turned down a bad road in the "ghetto"

Well I was on my way to Lowes and going a way I usually don't go.  Either way takes me through a bad part of town, but I happened to take the wrong road this time.  I've only done it once before, and the first time was not fun.

There is no possibly way to turn around because the road is so small, and I believe it is too dangerous to stop and take the time to do so.  On this road are a couple dozen low encome houses and apartments.  The problem is though, this road is heavily populated with (by their looks) hardened thugs in their late teens.

Now that we have the background, here is the problem.  They think they own the road, today there were 5 standing in the south bound land (I was going north).  The bad part is roughly 1/4 mile, and I obviously stuck out like a sore thumb.  They just stood in the road and as I drove up (speed limit is 25) I was being stared down and it almost looked like they were trying to stop cars.  Well I did the sensible thing and floored it.  Looking back in my rear view mirror I see southbound cars swerving around these guys, who stood in the same spot.  I did call the police and report it, and it so happened a cop was coming down the road anyway.

It is a good thing no one was run over.

BTW,I thought pedestrians have the right of way....

You're such a G.

I'm not gunna lie, I'm starting to get tired of the elitist attitude on this forum... finally.

Not that the story was amazing or anything, but the fact that people go out of their way to make negative comments towards certain members just isn't needed.  If someone other than Carl, Linus, or WGP made a crappy thread, people simply just wouldn't post.

Damn hooligan negro thieves. 

Regarding original thread:

I know places where they do that stand in the road thing and if you slow down enough you can get pulled out of your car through a shattered window.  Continuing on is the safe thing to do.

But the people who dog on them are so cool and original just by virtue of picking the same people everyone else does!

Edited Note:  Gang activity is so manly . . . especially on the internetz.

Classic stereotyping. If you actually take the time to talk to kids like that, they're actually pretty cool and funny. I work with a lot of kids like that, and if I had to make a judgment about them after seeing them walking down a street, I would assume they were thuggish by their appearances and the way they talk. Although, if you get to know them, they're not who they appear to be.

And the whole standing in the street thing is pretty common around here.

Scared little whitboiy, just ask them if they have any green....they will then become friendly!


Works here anyway...

This thread sucks.
