I keep telling you:

GUNS DON'T WORK.

These people are functionally insane.

NEVER ENGAGE INSANE PEOPLE.

I remember years ago a black father said that he told his son this EXCEPTIONAL advice:

"If a stranger asks where you're from, DO NOT RESPOND IN ANY WAY."

"Where you from?" is gangsta-lish for "I'm about to murder you."

When people blow their tops over insignificant issues like bumping their kid, DON'T RESPOND IN ANY WAY.

Get in your car as fast as you can and go away.

About 20 years ago, I started having completely incomprehensible trouble with young Hispanic gangsta wannabes.

They swerved in front of me and flashed gang signs, stopped at green lights, or pulled over and beckoned my to come out and fight.

The worst incident was a carload of three young women and one man who kept tryin to run me off the road.

I got into the Ralph's parking lot.

They came out of the car, and I floored it forward, blowing about 10 red lights.

Never saw them again.

By that time I figured out what happened, and a mechanic confirmed it to me.

I went in for a smog check, and he shouted, "What the-- I TOLD YOU TO NEVER COME BACK HERE!"

I remained calm and said, "I've never been here before."

"Are you nuts? I recognize your car!"

"Look at my license plate," I said.

He did, and he clapped his hand to his forehead.

"Oh my God! You're a different guy!"

My EXACT DOUBLE was driving around the city in the same car, picking fights with everyone he met.

The mechanic told me that we were physical clones and had the same voice.

I got freaked out and wondered if I had multiple personalities, but showed me the license plate number.

I noted the home address on the work order and staked out the guy's house in my brother's car.

And son of a bitch, he was IDENTICAL to me.

A Bad Carlos.

It was one of the reasons I got rid of my car, cut my hair, and grew out my beard.

BAD CARLOS WAS JUST GETTING STARTED.

He had a thing for harassing Hispanics.

The people he harassed were like the aggressors in the Detroit video.

GUNS DON'T WORK.

It used to be said that simply brandishing a gun prevented a crime.

That was before so many people lost their minds.

RIGHT NOW, a gun is a challenge.

"Shoot me, bitch!"

You have to be SMART. Now the pregnant woman and her husband are IN JAIL.

Don't bitch:

THAT WON'T CHAGE ANYTHING.

We the same must simply batten down the hatches and weather this storm.

Why in the world would you stand on principle and go to jail or WORSE, be forced to shoot a crazed grandmother in front of her insane daughter?

All the pregnant woman and her husband had to do was walk away.

NEVER ENGAGE CRAZY PEOPLE.

The crazy people weren't listening.

TAKE THEM AT THEIR WORD:

They're saying, "WE'RE CRAZY!"

If they'd gotten their apology, THE HARASSMENT WOULD NOT HAVE STOPPED.

They wanted a big, fat, end-of-the-world TV movie video-game confrontation.

They don't have functioning brains.

WALK AWAY.

It doesn't cost you anything to AVOID GIVING CRAZY PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT.

Crazy people leave their houses every day looking for trouble.

This is their moment.

They're drunk with power and off their rockers.

Don't even speak to them.

When they start that fishwife screeching, shut your mouth and exist stage left.

FAST.

One last time:

GUNS DON'T WORK.

Crazy people take them as a challenge.

Take them out only when you intend to USE THEM.

The mistake the pregnant woman and her husband made was to ENGAGE the crazy people.

MY WHOLE STREET IS CRAZY.

I never engage them.

I'm just waiting to get the hell out.

Be smart. Don't ruin your lives over insane LOSERS.
