LOL! So not Detroit? XD Hurricanes and lightning and humidity huh? Now I'm thinking The South. Louisiana? Alabama? Mississippi? Florida? We get hurricanes sometimes over here too. But by the time it reaches us, it usually downgrades to a tropical storm.
Holy crap! DD:> That's like something out of a crime film, I'm surprised a bunch of cameras and some excited director didn't just pop out of a supply closet at that point. Good thing everyone was alright, but you're right, that's complete craziness! And the kid what? ;___; I don't even know how to operate a car... but that's why I'll never take drugs. Too much action!
It made national news? D; I fail, I didn't hear about it. I don't watch the news much anymore- I stopped watching after the whole swine flu inanity was everywhere; fear mongering extravaganza.
As for where I live, I'll give you a few hints. Hurricanes. Lightning Capital. //too flippin' humid It's like the suburbs... but for some reason it's really ghetto. How it happened? No idea. Whenever I think of the suburbs I think of soccer moms, children named Kyle and Jennifer, mini vans, and Tupperware parties... oh god. Tupperware parties? If I ever find myself at one of those I think I'll just give up on life completely. //facepalm

LOL!!! No freaking way dude!!! You live in the drug/crime infested north, I live in the drug/crime infested south. Im in Laredo TX. Bordertown.
*Hope I still had the security video to upload it!* When I worked at Target, on a quiet Monday or Tuesday, I forget, September 26 2006, all hell broke lose the closest it has to me, ever. A coworker(security guard) and I were just chatting in front of the manual door next to the sliding door entrance. When outta nowhere this hysterical frantic guy ran up to the door and started pulling like crazy. We didn't let him in at first cause who would let in a crazy guy? When he shouted "me van a matar guey! me van a MATAR!!!, (they're gonna kill me! in spanish). We instantly let go of the door and he bolted in. Right after, two cars almost crashed near the entrance and an old Chevy Suberban drove on to the sidewalk next to the entrance. Three guys with AK-47s walked out and when in the store after him. Turns out that crazy frantic guy owed the cartels money. My "friend" as soon as he noticed the guns ran inside for cover but one of them noticed him and his uniform, and threatened him at gunpoint to not interfere. I on the other hand was probably in shock as I just strolled away in the opposite direction (outside), proceeded to the other entrance on the other side of the store and stopped people from going in. The guy that ran in, hid in the back of the store and police got him when they showed up (very lucky). One of the other guys he was with, got away and the other two he was with, were kidnapped. They were all shopping in the store earlier. What also shocked me, some ten year old boy who was in the store the time that the group was, drove the Suberban outta there. ._.
Apparently it made national news, cause my aunt from California called asking if I was alright. lol We got a lot in common.
Stay awesomely unique and keep dodging them bullets Solemn. See ya.
P.S. Sorry for the long comments. I tend to do that. .-.
I knew it! Then again, maybe I shouldn't be going around screaming out, "Yo' fo' shizzle mah nizzle, skillet biscuit, hommie G???" //fail
They were even looking through my yard with dogs. I was like, "Wait, what are you doing!? My drugs aren't hidden there--- oh wait, what? I didn't say anything."
I live in a very ghetto suburban area. How does that even work? //facepalm
lol you wouldn't believe all the ammunition people have out here. But they're not dangerous people, they're just idiots. XD
I think the one who moved after the gang fight thing is living in Flint possibly, which is no better, but the one that survived is doing pretty well, he's a musician comedian type of guy XD.
Meh, big booms around here either means a) hunting season b) target practicing time c) the rednecks are lighting their dynamite in the yard again. That is unsettling though. I lived in Detroit for a short while, when I was a baby. I had friends from Detroit, one that moved when there was a gang war outside his house, one that actually got shot and survived then moved, and one that got shot and died. Maybe it was bomb squad? They probably had a meth lab going XD
Omigosh!! I would have probably moved the next day if i were in your position,,
well u know what buddy >.< sadly though, wherever you go there will always be nuisance and dangerous stuff,,,bbutttttt move here in Canada ;D bwuahaha i think it's safer than U.S. >.< (not dissing on U.S. or anything kk and well i guess my opinion is kinda biased hehe xD)
