Oh I do

sometimes both eyes

At all times

Right

Lest they offend the

thee

I was a cop for a while, sensibility was fried years ago, terrible fight we are in, gotta get thick skinned

Amen to that

I agree.. @TuscaroraWarrior (thank you for your service) and thanks to the chans.. a little tougher.. I have become lol

After seeing some stuff on the chans, I had to pull back for awhile.

Made me kind of sick.

Me too @Gailm Never go on the chans.. during a meal.. that is my rule lol

There are terrible things that occur everyday in our communities, I have seen it firsthand, unspeakable things, so the chans didn't bum me out

Some have stronger constitutions than others..and some have to learn.

If you can imagine it............it will go on in the chans........even more.

@Groot things I never imagined lol

I worked homicide for 3 years, then went to narcotics, oddly enough narc is where I seen the most troubling things.

Wow that is amazing.

and by amazing.. I could never do it

Narcotics...homicides waiting to happen.

Many bad things in the underworld , on the fringe of society....the drugs were just the edge of it.

did u work metro or rural?

Outside of Charlotte, the burbs

Its funny when people cant put you in a box, you can just fit in anywhere. You can be homeless one day, look like a business exec the next, and casually move in and out of different groups. I really learned alot in 15 years as a cop, but I walked away from that and came back to the country. I do not go to town much, just as well stay on the farm and work here, plenty to do around here.

Can't imagine what that was like @TuscaroraWarrior

I worked with the health department in Detroit, Atlanta and Los Angeles...no shortage of fringe in those places..

I work downtown where things are starting to get dicey

But I live in the burbs.

That is getting ..............different now, too

It's not upscale

Just middle class burbs

@Groot, small world I was borned in Detroit, Dad was security at the Ford Mansion .

I've noticed more homeless people - right in our building - lately

Really @Gailm ?

Where you born at Henry Ford Hosp?

But the crime is more in the outlaying areas

Naw, Macomb General @Groot

I am very concerned that things will heat up considerably during the democratic convention

they are coming into your building?

Yes, a couple of young men.

Ever heer of Herman Heifer ?
