Like Haz says. And the other hand be holding up the baggy pants so's they don't fall down around the ankles and trip the dude as he escapes on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash and dyepacks. Yo.
Who are the most infamous bank robbers? The James Gang...Butch & Sundance...Dillinger...Baby Face Nelson...Bonnie & Clyde...Patty Hearst...John Wojtowicz...Matasareanu & Phillips. Yes, even Willie Sutton. All Caucasians.
Beyond being ignorant in and of itself, don't give our anti-gun foes any cutesy racist ammunition with which to injure us. The Left trolls blogs all the time, looking for quotes that paint pro-gunners, pro-lifers, Conservatives, etc. in a bad light. A gun rights fence sitter may be tipped to the anti side after seeing earlier comments reposted elsewhere. Thanks guys.
Good points, those advocating political correctness, but most of the examples of white bank robbers given are of a different age.
My position is that if a young man wears the baggy pants and struts around trying to look bad, and calls himself a "gangsta," whether he be black, white, brown, red or somewhere in between - and indeed they come in all those colors - he fits an accurate and very current description - a self-caricature, perhaps, but not by me - of what we find actually robbing banks and convenience stores so frequently it's become a cliche.
I don't consider it racist to acknowledge reality.is very much their problem.
Ya know if ya want to make these scenarios believable ya needs ta hold yer blaster correctly.
ReplyDeleteYa know, hold it head high with yer arm bent at the elbow, sights 90 degrees slanted, and the muzzle canted down at about a 25 degree angle. ;)

ReplyDeleteAlthough the references to urban black culture are humorous, the overwhelming profile of bank robbers are older white guys.

Lost something in my last post. The last sentence should read, "For those who might it is, in my opinion, very much their problem."
ReplyDeleteWow, either words are disappearing, or I need new glasses. Let's try that last sentence one more time:
