Politeness Is To Do & Say ...

laist advises:
A driver in a 2005 Mazda, identified as 37 year-old Keetha Knox, was heading south on Western Avenue near 108th St. in Westmont (an area just south of South Los Angeles) around 9 p.m. last night when she hit a pedestrian, identified as 28 year-old Alexis Brooks, sheriff deputies said. The impact threw Brooks into the northbound lane where she was hit by another car. Brooks was pronounced dead at the scene. Unfortunately the night’s chaos did not end there, according to City News Service (CNS).

Knox reportedly got out of her car to check what had happened, at which point, CNS says, one of Brooks’ acquaintances took out a gun and started shooting at Knox. Knox got back into her car, drove home and called 911.
You fucking sad-ass loser, how can we make this a more polite society if you can't even hit the rude person who deserves a lesson in decency? More time on the range, politeness fans.

Back in the seventies I had a job at Texas Steel Co., working swing shift in the mill. It was in the south (Bad) part of town, and across the street were a number of bars where many bikers hung out - essentially a different bar for each outlaw club in town. Full employment, y'know.

Anyway, I was sitting outside the mill at eleven pee emm or so one summer night and some dood who didn't belong came screaming down Hemphill St. in his big ol' Caddy and ran right over a biker. ThumpThump. His buddies knew just exactly what to do - they left him lying in the street, chased down the driver (who was dumb enough to stop and look back to see what he'd hit), pulled him out of the car and killed him in short order.

Talk about break-time entertainment!

Ahh, the personal touch, so sorely lacking in today's world.

As are big-ass Caddies.

Sounds like a scene from "X Marks the Pedwalk".
