Walking in the parking lot

[ranoobu]

I guess because I don't think a car jacking plot would ever involve 50 gang members locking arms in hopes that their locked arms look like it makes them impenetrable to my 70 MPH car.

I know we're just having playful conversation here, but I honestly don't think you can assure my reaction won't be to laugh.

I can be a bit twisted myself ;)

Edit: Whoa. this should have been a topic itself, Gung.Heaux! lol

Funny thread. I was leaving the Dodgers/Mets game today, driving amongst foot traffic to exit the parking lot, and this dimwit not paying attention kept veering towards me and bumped my car as I was going about 5 mph and perfectly straight and had the nerve to give me the look like I should watch where I was going when she ran into me.

I like to wait for the car to start coming, then I pull my pants down and c-walk while giving them the bird.

EDIT: That's not true. I give way to the car. I'm not trying to get run over by a big heavy moving hunk of metal.

-At least some of the gang members are going to crack before the guy in the car
-If the cops come they will have very few options for a runaway, especially with all of the pissed commuters
-If they steal a car, in the locked traffic they've made, how will they leave?
-Some of the gang members are going to figure that their lives are worth more than some car

all good points...thats why the scenaio is set at 3am....very few cars...giving time to span the road. three lanes here.
i didnt say its probable, but its certainly possible. and down here near new orleans.....large amounts of the city's youth has VERY little regard for their well being.
its just something to think about...not something to look forward to.

most people give me the "come on" initial reaction, until they think about it..........the arms locked thing is a bit much, but if you get 40-50 guys at 3am, half on each side of the freeway, they wait until a car passes and then disperse into the street at a full run, a chain isnt necessary to attempt to stop a car for whatever nefarious machinations they may have. watch our nightly news her in NO and youll see that there are certain factions of person here that youd not put any illegality past.


seriously though...where's that thread about out pets!

It depends if I am in the cross walk then, what the hell it can only hurt a little while. If I am not in the crosswalk then by all means I will give the right away to the driver. But if I am in my Bradley do not look at me silly or you just bought yourself a TOW.
