What's The World Coming To?

[JINKSTER]

So the family and I arrive home about 11:00pm from having a nice afternoon visit and evening dinner with my parents last night...daughters kiss me goodnight...wife grabs the remote and fires up the boobtube....but not me...I kiss the wife goodbye and tell'er...L8R Honey...I'm going for a night run to scrub in those new Pilot Powers some more.

So there I am bobbing and weaving around all the little local curves I know of and after a nice 1/2 hour workout of tossing the busa too and fro I hit the local gas station for an iced tea...but as I roll in the lot there's some sorta late night gathering of young ricer hoodlums hanging out all over the place...I heard a few giggles and wise@$$ comments as I rolled in with the engine shut down but figured screw it...I'm gett'in my iced tea...off with my helmet...keys in my pocket....and in the store I go..to come out but a minute later to several...ballcap on sideways, heavy gold neck chains, pants hanging down around their knees, ebonics speaking white kids cluttered around my Busa...but no one was touching it so I just smiled and uncapped my iced tea as the questions began...

"Hey man...dis yo's?"

Me: "Yeah"

"How fast do it go?"

Me: "A Tad over 190...close to 200"

"How fast have you had it?"

Me: "Close to 180...once."

And then the clincher...

"Yo Man...Lemme ride it."

Me: "What?"

Him: "I said lemme ride it."

Me: "Are you out of your damn mind?"

Then the chest puffing and glarring eyes begins as he follows with...

"Whaddid you say to me biotch?"

And that's when I knew I made a bad mistake pulling in there in the first place and lost it by deciding that if there ever was a time for me NOT to act like a biotch that this was it...and I was either about to get some serious respect or get jumped for my Busa by 4 punks...as I squared myself to him...locked eyes with him and quickly responded with....

"The question I asked you was...ARE YOU OUTTA YOUR FVCKING MIND!!!...Now step the fvck back from my Bike!!!..NOW!!!"

and at this point I was fully tensed to go fist-ta-cuffs and figuring that my next move would be slamming an almost full glass bottle of iced tea into this kids face then dishing out a quick first helping of whoop@$$ to each his other three dumbo butthead buddys but...the other three had already sorta stepped back and stood down as they watched to see how the alpha punk (the one that was demanding that I let him ride my busa) responded...and he responded with...his eyes welling up...some visual nervous shaking...then followed with a loud...

"WELL FVCK YOU DEN BIOTCH!!!"

as his buddys broke out into laughter at him and then heckling him as he stormed off to his cage and screeched his tires through the lot and out into the road....the other three backstepped their way back into the crowd they came out of with their little slutty honeys giggling at them as I figured this a prime time to down my iced tea and exit stage left to boogie on outta there.

Things are gett'in bad out there folks...and I don't live in what I'd term a bad neighbourhood...it's sorta your standard middle class kinda area...I've never yet experienced/encountered punks so outwardly brazen...and the part that scared me most is...they didn't even appear to be drunk or stoned out...as that I could understand..but that wasn't the case and these kids were just plain freaking naturally mean and nasty...wtf is going on out there?

So...Ladies and Gents...watch yer backs out there...as this latest generation of late night, party going young adults seem meaner and snottier than any I've ever encountered before.

L8R, Bill.

This has got to you Jinks , but its a wake up call . Its everywhere .I deal with these s*um every night of the week..Your best move was not backing down .. its the pack mentality gives them their b*lls . Reminds me of the western when the guy has three bullets left and theres six baddies , and he says , ok which three of you wanna die .. Glad you came out of it ok

 

[GSXTacy]

Sounds like work to me! LOL (Illinois Department of Corrections) I know what your talking about. Fortunately, most gang bangers, or wannabes, are gutless when they are alone, but like most sheep, they get brave in packs.

 

[adrenaline junkey]

well despite what happend ya kept your head and made a game plan

 

[busa854]

I deal with the same junk from time to time. Gotta hold your ground when it comes to busa.

 

[shortBoarder]

glad you made it out OK. Alpha-male showdown pretty much the only way to go in that situation - what else are you gonna do?

I'd love to see a group of "ebonics-speaking white kids" get plunked down in East New York and see how things fare out. Pathetic.


Oh, come to Venice CA when you have a chance; we've got a whole summer of this kind of crap every year

 

[Mattzgixxer]

I wonder if they realize how ignorant they look when they talk like that?

 

[JINKSTER]

Man...I know we're a tad behind the times in the deep south here but..I can't imagine what dealing with crap like this in the big cities must be like...and after last nights experience I don't wanna know...but what I do wanna know is....where are the parents?...do they not know their brat@$$ punk kids are out here acting like this?...or do they just not care?

The way I figure it...these kids got off lucky by running into an unarmed me...cause I do know some good o'le boys who would've readily declared this as a "vehicular hi-jack attempt w/ threat of life overtones"...and as a result may very well have blew one of their young @$$e$ away...at...what appeared to be an "Illegal Gathering"...as even I was kind of upset with myself that this was one of the rare times I didn't have my Glock somehwhere's close by...as I'll be damned that I leave three young daughters and a wife behind cause I got beat to death by a pack of punks in a parking lot...pi$$es me off to even think about it.

I think stupid would be the proper term.

 

[GSXRFANN]

Dang shame ya cant even pull into a store for a drink without being taunted. Only thing is, if you had beat the shid out of him then probably his buddies too, you would be the one in trouble.

Some of this I blame on business owners and police (no offense to any of you guys). We used to have a local cruising spot here and the city shut it down. There wasn;t very much trouble at all, but the business owners complained that the kids were costing them business. Now most of those businesses have had to close due to NO business..this is years later.
The police were happy to see it go away so they wouldn't have to have as many officers patrol the area.
Now the kids have nothing to do but get drunk, stoned, and just cause trouble.

In my opinion, had the police corrected the few individuals that were causing trouble, they could have partly avoided shutting the area down. The business owners need to realize that the roads they are on are PUBLIC roads. These kids weren't really doing anything wrong.

Well it's the closest term we can use here on the .ORG!! I have a really hard time dealing with the mass stupidity envy going on in this country today. Had i come home talking and acting like the kids you encountered I would have had my butt handed to me by my Dad! Perhaps all this raise your kids without punishing psycobabblebullsh!+ needs to STOP. My boys knows exactly what a paddle feels like hitting his rear end and he also knows what makes it happen. He's 5. Had these losers parents taken my approach I think you would have been greeted with curiosity and adulation instead of stupidity and confrontation. Rant off... have a nice day

 

[FastBusa]

I didn't want to bring this up but a few wears ago on a differedt bike I was in the same situation and by shear good luck on my part I found that your full face helmet held by the chin guard will change the mind of most hoods, and not even scratch your helmet. Some times you just got to do what you got to do. Glad everything turned out ok though.

 

[GMbusa]

Moose, i agree.

There are alot of gangsta whiteboys around my area, thinking their all bad and stuff. I laugh and tell them their hats on wrong, freakin dumbasses. It's like a scene from Malibu's most wanted.

Saturday we are riding in Springfield Il, 4 of us..I am behind a guy in a Z2 Escort, this guy slams on the brakes as to make me rear end him. Needless to say I did not and rode up to his side. The guy takes off again and does it again. This time I lag back, smoke my tire behind him and jump the front wheel at him..Then the guy goes over into the next lane to the next stop light. I pull up next to him, he starts hollaring (50 year old guy) M**herf**ker I am calling the cops on you..I smarted off back to him and said have at it BIG BOY!! Light changes and I follow him for another mile or so as he swerves in and out of traffic....

They are everywhere!!!

 

[MN72Busa]

I'd suggest looking into getting your c.c. permit, not sure how liberal your state is on issuing them. I don't like to carry becuase it gets uncomfortable, but this country is becoming like the wild-west again, and I fimd myself carrying more so than not lately. Glad you made it out of it ok, punks or pure bad @ss, its still a confrontation that know one wants to be in.

 

[MrGxr]

Stupid, brazen, whatever you wanna call them... they're all over and getting more. Seems like they are roaches, you can't get rid of them and they are multiplying. Glad to hear all worked out for you.

Thanks man...and there for a one single tense moment I wasn't exactly sure it was gonna "work out".

Then to add insult to injury?...wifey bought two huge racks of ribs and some fresh salmon to grill for the 4th festivities and while she's doing her thing firing up the grill I headed out to grab a bag of ice...in the rain...in her honda mini-van (which was parked behind my truck)...and in the 5 mile round trip I had not one but three different LEO's hardballing me to see if they could figure out a way to bless me with a citation...as I shook my head thinking...where the hell were these guys late last night?...as it seems their all too willing to pick on a average Joe sort minding his P's & Q's in a mini-van yet even they don't wanna risk the liability of dealing with the young punk wannabee gangbangers...so...it's like the average joe gets it from both ends...as it seems Illegal Gatherings and Violence is fine but...don't lemme catch ya short signaling your mini-van during a lane change...mentality....as there's cash to be made in citations but actual "Crime Prevention" costs money and then it's...sorry sir but...making sure you were kept safe from a vehicular hi-jacking and a parking lot gang bang @$$-whoop'in just wasn't in this years budget...but this citation is!!!

....

God things are gett'in screwed up.

Glad everything turned out okay ... good on you for not backing down ... I think there's a new law about to be passed in Florida that says you can bust a cap in that azz if you feel threatened.

 

[Nijinsky3]

Glad you are ok...

Sad to say, but these kid are mostly children of parents from MY generation! If my kid ever dressed like that or talked like a moron or disrespected a total stranger like that I would KICK THEIR AZZ FROM THE GUTTER TO THE PORCH!

On a "where the hell were the cops last night" side note...

There were two young mexican boys, probably about 15 and 17. They showed up at the local burger joint on bike night last summer. This place is moderately busy, but in summer, it gets PACKED! So these two dumbsheets are walking around ech with a 6 week old pitbull puppy on a CHAIN! I am standing near them when they each grab a puppy and start BANGING their heads together until the puppies started fighting! I stood there is total SHOCK for a few seconds, then yelled at them loudly "HEY!!!!!!! KNOCK THAT SH#T OFF NOW!!!!!!" They both kinda giggled and walked away DRAGGING the poor puppies behind them.

I called the cops and all the dispatcher wanted to know was "How many people are still there" Huntington Beach PD REFUSED to respond because of the crowd, regardless of the fact that there were several people irritated with what these kids were doing and would have MORE than backed up the cops if they arrested these damn kids!

Yeah....the world is going to sh#t!

...and the REALLY shitty thing is, that if you HAD gotten in a fight with them and hurt them, eventhough they started it, if they are under 18, you may end up in jail for it! COMPLETE BS if you ask me!
