Attention Wal-Mart shoppers: the white, pointy hoods are now in Aisle 6

    Two months in Jersey just seems like a lifetime.

    Kind of like you calling people who express their opinions Teabaggers? Not all Tea Party members are idiots. There are some bad ones in every group but there are also some who just want their opinions heard in a civil manner.

    I'm not much in favor of either one, but in the second instance, the viewpoint is only being inflicted upon people who wish to pay to hear it. Seems like a pretty simple distinction to me.


    Oh, and for all you dudes from East Bugtussle who want to make tired Jersey jokes, I was born and raised in the South, and I've lived in South Jersey more than 20 years now. For the most part, it's a very decent area of small towns and very little crime.

    Unless, of course, you flip on a radio station and hear the cop-killer message, or live on a street where someone is blasting a car stereo at 120 decibels.
    The guy in the Wal-Mart is an idiot. Ban him from the store. Ban him from all Wal-Marts for all I care. That's their right. But an arrest is nothing more than political grandstanding and Wal-Mart playing CYA.

    Oh, and I grew up in Jersey. The reason there's so little crime in South Jersey (you're obviously not counting Camden or Atlantic City as part of South Jersey) is because most of the crime is in North Jersey. There's four things in South Jersey -- dead mobsters, cranberry bogs, pine trees and the Jersey Devil.

    My favorite intercom story was with a guy I graduated with. I wasn't there but my friend was working in the plant at the time. John got canned from the printing plant. He's being escorted out by HR. He escapes, gets into an office that has a plant-wide intercom and yells, to everyone in the factory, "FUCK BROWN PRINTING! FUCK BROWN PRINTING!"

    He didn't get arrested, just removed.

    Except for a few brief stints, I've lived in urban areas all of my life and I can honestly say I've never heard a cop-killer rap song played on the radio. And I'm willing to bet many others haven't as well. They may have heard them in a club or in someone's home but not on public radio.
    Stories about those songs being played were part urban legend, part propaganda.

    Sure, if you're on Jersey Shore.

    I think they arrested him because it would been illegal to beat the crap out of him, and to quell the threat of any Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton-led protests outside the doors of their corporate headquarters.

    I would imagine the charges will eventually be dropped; the arrest was more than likely simply to serve as a deterrent for anyone who might have a similar clever idea in the future. (Sort of how like how nearly all solicitation of prostitution arrests are forms of entrapment, but the perpetrator is so ashamed at the ordeal that they never try to do it again).

    That's why I said "a few."

    Still mad at yourself over the governor of Florida, I see.

    By the way, I didn't say you were an idiot for not knowing that. I just said you weren't bringing your A game! Happens to all of us, right?

    Kid is claiming that he was just paraphrasing lyrics from Lil Wayne's "Drop The World" which he had just purchased in CD.

    Yeah, Lil Wayne says "Attention Walmart shoppers, will all the black people please leave the store."
    Punk kid deserves the punishment he gets and then some.
