Denver: Get your act together!

True Story:

A few years back my brother went to visit his friend. He waved to the neighbor as he was walking to his friend's house. Friends of that neighbor saw some guy, my brother, wave to their girl and beat my brother up. I believe it was two against him and my brother isn't a big guy. They beat him so badly, they thought he was dead and threw him into bushes to die. My brother woke, had to of been in shock and proceeded to the friends house. When his friends girlfriend opened the door and saw the bloody mess standing before her asking for his buddy, she threw up. He was rushed to the hospital to have a tracheotomy so he could breath correctly and days later, facial reconstruction surgery to piece his face back together. He was lucky to survive.


Denver:


We live downtown, wee live blocks away from all major league sports events. We live a block away from a famous outdoor walking mall. From our balcony half a block away, we can see the hotel that the President of America stays while in Denver. Extremely fine dining, preppy little wine bars, and expensive little boutiques ARE our neighborhood. Horse drawn carriages pass our building front nightly to whisk away couples to a romantic night under the overhead twinkling lights but under the same twinkling lights darkness and bitter hate lurks.






I don't like hate.

Downtown Denver has been victim to numerous muggings recently. It's reported that most are racially motivated against whites and hispanics and the victim is picked at random. Most victims attacked have been white or hispanic men walking alone. One of the men arrested says in Denver Post (here and here), they wanted to send a message "to let people know, not to come downtown without their friends for protection."

So, your group is going to beat up on some innocent guy, I don't care what the hell your race or his race is, so you can send a message?! That's bull. These tough guys make me laugh. Can't get by in life without their crew. Who is really the weak one there huh? Their "crew" could care less about the individuals within that group, and would throw a person under a bus in a heartbeat. They do what other people say, they are followers, following loser scum bags and beating people until permanent facial damage is done.

Is it backwards that I feel more comfortable running an errand ALONE at night rather than sending Geoff?

This makes me laugh, "An affidavit released Friday by prosecutors said Kendall Austin told police his gang, the Black Gangster Disciples, and another gang known as the Rolling '60s Crips believe they 'own' the 1400 block of 19th Street."

My message to them:

Own? Really, OWN?! Where is your real estate? Show me the papers? You don't own crap, and your in MY hood now. We do OWN and legally. We don't NEED our friends for protection, we don't NEED a crew, we don't NEED to beat people up to prove ourselves. The weak are the ones who need. But if caught in the craziness of your quest to seem tough, on OUR quest to go to dinner, don't be surprised to find who carries a permit to carry a concealed. You'll sure be 'needing' then.


As cute as this place is, I don't get hate and I don't like when it effects people it shouldn't. I don't get people hurting other innocent people and an incident happened way too close to me to make this all too real. It amazes me that the person getting beat to death might be the doctor that saves this scum bags life two years later. It all makes me sick. Stay safe, watch out for yourself no matter who you are and spread good, it's freakin' CHRISTMAS for crying out loud!
