Well for some God foresaking reason my son's Freshman basketball coach decided it would be a good experience for the team to go down to Watt's Ca. and play in a Basketball Tournament. They left from school at 1:30 and I now have to go and pick a few of them up. This is not the best of neighborhoods to be driving at night in. Say a little prayer for me if you would. I'll be packing my little friend under the seat. Not to mention them boys are gonna beat ours like a rented mule. :(

Tylerin.........<br /><br />I am all too familiar with Watts. I have my fingers crossed, legs, eyes and anything else I can cross, crossed for you. :( <br /><br />I think the coach needs a psychological evaluation for doing what he did. :eek: <br /><br />I'm glad "Rosco" will be in attendance<br /><br /> Good Luck??? ...Bob in Calif...

When your leaving don't stop the car for nothin'.<br />If anyone gets in your way run em over. If your at a stop light and your car gets surrounded run the light.<br />Your in their neighborhood and they probably think your the reason for all their problems.<br />GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Holly Smokes! That coach should be fired! <br />I got stuck in that area by accident looking for a gas staion after dark way back in 1974. Two cops on every other corner. I pulled over to ask them for directions. They looked at my out of state plates and after giving me directions, told me not to come to a complete stop anywhere as there wasn't enough of them to help me. They said to just slow down to look for traffic even at red light and keep going... <br />30 years later it's got to be a lot worse.

i know you have to give alot of credit for the kids being determined to play that team, but if its that bad, i'd be 'straight up' and tell them what your main worries are. good luck :cool:

Re: Wish me luck

One ofmy jobs in the past was Private Investigater, and now I am a Process Server. These jobs take me into bad niehberhoods, some white, most black. Nothing racial about it, just the facts.<br /><br />However, I have only ever feared for my life in a black niehberhood, I have found a system that disarms both races. My vehicles are all 4x4 (except my boat, but I'm werkin' on that) and my enormous cowboy hat. I approach folks like some dumb cowboy on a mission (I NEVER ack lost or like someone who doesn't know what they are doing)and go around in a friendly yet purposful fashion. Everyone always treats me like they have know me for ever and I met and prayed with many fine people in crappy nieberhoods. I also carry a concealed 9mm which will be replace with my SW 600 Mag when I find a shoulder rig to hold it. :D

Good Luck Tylerin, hope your not going to be a victim of terrorism. Sounds like a bad situation to be in, may the force be with you! :D <br /><br />Sounds like a place where a bunch of Rednecks with snow plows on their trucks could do some good. Uh there is a good one for sale on Ebay! A meat grinder on wheels!<br /><br />SS
