Overheard On The #4
A partial recap of my morning ride:
“…I’m gonna bring my gun over to your house and put a silencer on it and kill you and your motherf*cking family dude, so shut the f*ck up…”
“…my brother got a gun yesterday, and his friend got a gun too, and he only 12! He got a dimebag at the same time too!”
“…nah, I like bud better…I think clearer when I’m doing that sh*t, like what b*tches I’m gonna shoot this weekend…”
These are three of the dozens of gun references they made while on the bus for all of 20 minutes.
Then, they got off the bus, took off their hats, and walked into the hospital behind me.
Really? Do you really think more people need guns than already have them? Do you really think we need less gun control?
Guns are cool to these people. Killing people is cool to them. There needs to be a serious paradigm shift here, and giving more people more guns is probably the worst idea I can come up with.
I just got goosebumps.
Good think you are tucked away in an area that no one can find.
Yikes!
Note to self: Stay off the #4.
Eek.
Scary. Was this in Hyde Park? Something the class of 2012 should brace themselves for?
No no no…this was in the area known as “The Area Between The Loop And Hyde Park Into Which One Should Venture Only As Required During The Daily Commute,” or a few miles to the north of Hyde Park. The bus ride typically gets much more normal after that point.
