I'm not saying sober up, but let's look into more rides that don't involve having to stop near a place of business for awhile.
With all the concerned store owners and thieves that accompany rides, then disappear into the woodwork, this would be an excellent idea as far as I'm concerned.
Alternatives to this could be the ones we've tried before on rides like the PF2.
Stop in a general area void of any retail presence on the spot, but with something located nearby for short, refueling runs.
That way, if there are any thefts at those stores, no one's going to spot an enormous herd of ridazz nearby and draw an assumption.
Shit, let the lone Ass hat take the fall for his/her own ineptitude.
Sorry if this has been mentioned by someone else before, but I just
felt that it had to be re-released under my nameplate.
I for one just want to find and put to use more ways to get law-enforcement off our backs, and to get into the good graces with all those small, business owners that might see us as a threat.
I GOT AN IDEA, LETS ALL QUIT BREATHING AIR, SO THAT ALL THE GENTE THAT ARE DRIVING, WILL HAVE TO BREATH THAT FUCKED UP AIR ALONE, THEN WE CAN ALL BREATH AGAIN LATER, AFTER THEY DIE FROM THE BAD AIR.
Yes, Edward.
Let's all take daily, O2-injections and carry around portable regulators to set ourselves apart from the car-driving, elite that threaten our daily existence.
Then when they pass on from lack of clean oxygen, we continue to wear the masks and take injections for another 4 years while nature does its thing and cleanses.
After that, we melt the driverless cars down into ingots and re-manufacture them into a fleet of ugly, interstellar, battle-cruisers!!!!
But, seriously I think we need to either stick to stores where we are the de-facto customer base, or hand-pick a team to perform store runs while at a remote-stop.
Let everyone cool their collective heads and then by the time Old Man Winter strikes, most of all the riff-raff will have retreated to Phoenix, or some shit!!
REPOst: sorry
Part of the problem is the ride is starting to attract younger people. Use to be a time when most people were of drinking age. Now a big percentage are minors and it is no secret that MR will provide anything they need to drink or smoke; part of this 'community' thing. Troubles me to see that someone got a curfew violation ticket, how young do you have to be to get one of those?
I'm all for having everyone come out on the MR rides but be more responsible when offering someone a drink or smoke. Someday a minor or even a juvenile will get hurt and the closest adult might be blamed, main reason I stay sober on these rides.
Point is we are giving an an impression that MR is a drunken party on wheels, that everyone has to have something. I know that it might be a stretch but has anyone considered that some of the stealing might be because someone cannot legally buy alcohol? Not saying that minors and juveniles are thieves but in a setting where drinking is the norm, how are you going to get your beer?
sorry dude... believe it or not the guys are in their 20's pushing 30 even.... it's not a "youth" thing.... they just havent grown out of it or been busted enough times to stop.
I always thought it was Sins and Sprockets because it predates Crank Mob. MR stops use to be part of the theme. The liquor store/bars stop was the SnS theme, now every ride is like SnS, so much for variety.
True, sins is up there with my list of favorite MR rides. Wolfpack Hustle, Sins, and the 2nd Friday in that order. 2nd Friday use to be #1, partly because it was the original but that too has lost some of its appeal. It is really good to have choices but when everything is same, it doesn't really matter.
The very first ride stopped at a liquor store. For years MR was welcomed at liquor stores. I remember specifically skull going to a store on temple and telling the owner we were coming by. The guy was so happy and actually kept his store open in anticipation of 50 customers coming by. NO ONE STOLE A DAMN THING.
Its not that we stop at liquor stores its that the people joining up lately haven't grown out of their selfish behaviour yet.
its sad to think that we might have to stop going to liquor stores at rides all because some fuckin idiots steal shit. i know that MR is not all about drinking and all that good stuff, but liquor store stops are needed at rides. we can regroup there, buy water, etc.
I say rat 'em out if you see 'em. They're acting like stupid kids, treat them like one. Bonus points for making them bring the shit back and apologize to the store owner. Uber-bonus if you do it by dragging them in by their ear.
Having 50 friends on a ride is different to what MR has become. The numbers and the appeal has change. The reputation of MR changes the further you go away from LA.
There are several things going on in the cycling community that might affect MR. First is the growing popularity of fixies beyond big cities. The fixie is the new razor scooter or mini cycle. The popularity is fueled by bike trick videos like MASH and You Tube videos of our rides and races. As more and more kids get into it, the greater the need to find rides; this is very good.
The other thing is MR has the reputation of being a drunken ride and it is easy to get alcohol. Unfortunately this misconception is the model that many use to start their rides. This is not so good.
This might not be your vision of MR but it is a perception that is real. I suggest going back to stressing the theme. Make it that drinking is secondary.
To further demonstrate the popularity of fixies/MR. I have been asked by my club's junior team to stage a MR style ride in lieu of our last training ride of the season. So this Wednesday, I will have about 30 juniors , parents, and grandparents ride through the foothills communities of San Dimas and Claremont ala MR.
I'm not disagreeing with you one bit SC. just stating howit used to be that MR was welcomed and store owners actually wanted us to come by..... now it's the fucking exact opposite.
would ppl be less likely to rip off a small mom and pop type liquor stores? the kind with a shotgun behind the counter?? maybe/maybe not? CVSish stores are like visiting fluorescent hell anyway; buzz kill.
"would ppl be less likely to rip off a small mom and pop type liquor stores? the kind with a shotgun behind the counter?? maybe/maybe not? CVSish stores are like visiting fluorescent hell anyway; buzz kill. "
well these same people have no problem robbing a mommas and poppas operation like Midnight Ridazz for it's good natured reputation so I doubt these losers would give a fuck about a mom and pop store either way.
THAT IS A GREAT WAY TO GET YOUR ASS KICKED FOR BIENG A FUCKIN BITCH ASS RAT!!! U DON'T KNOW UR SNITCHING ON AND WHO THEY ARE FRIENDS WITH!!! I WOULD SUGGEST NOT DOING THAT CUZ IT ONLY WILL LEAD U INTO TROUBLE,I WOULD LOVE TO SEE ONE GROWN PERSON GRAB ANOTHER GROWN PERSON BY THE EAR AND TRY TO TURN THEM IN ,SEE HOW FAR THAT GETS THEM. U KNOW PEOPLE ROLL IN GROUPS! THINK ABOUT THAT ONE. SNITCHES GET STITCHES.
i miss the old days. it sucks that now we have to worry about getting our ass kicked because of someone stealing beer and they roll in groups. what happened to the old MR?
+1 turrican, particularly for this:
"Bonus points for making them bring the shit back and apologize to the store owner. Uber-bonus if you do it by dragging them in by their ear."
I would totally do this if I ever actually noticed the people stealing shit. It's now illegal for me to walk into the nearest CVS to my house, and I have no problem teachnig selfish fuck-ups a bit of respect. They should just be glad we ain't in Texas, or they'd have a shotgun to the back before they leave the store.
@eddieimitator BEHIND THE CROOKED CROSS:
Bring it. Threats by a few stupid kids against a group of OVER 2,000 Ridazz are not a good idea.
man i remember when it used to be just eddie in all caps now we got all these threadbangers using caps.. what is the world coming to..
eddie +30,000
something about a cross -30,000(i dont care if your in a gang)
danya (or whatevs) -60,000(for being a n00b and for making an ass out of you and me)
Eddie-
I know you, I like you, I don't like when other people imitate your style. I know you wouldn't do shit like that, and it pissed me off that someone was hiding behind an imitation of the persona you have created online to say shit. Sorry you misunderstood me.
yeah i dont wanna get jumped, stabbed or even shot at. im staying out of this. and its sad to think that cuz i started coming to rides cuz i heard how much fun it was and all the cool people that show up. its shit like this that makes me not even want to be apart of the rides anymore. like it takes the fun out of it.
and yes ima say it again...I MISS THE OLD DAYS!!!!
your all trippin way to hard.. i bet you ppl stole shit in the "old days" too they were just sly about it and now ppl are starting to get sloppy ya it sucks but thats not all of it. i go on alot of rides where ppl dont do stupid shit its just the unlucky of the draw so dont discount the entire group cause of a few stupid ppl..
We need announcements at every beginning of a ride and at every stop of the ride saying there will be harsh repercussions for people who do something thats going to hurt the ride as a whole.
Eddie-
Are you assuming I'm a dude? I'm Sarah... I first met you when you came out to 818 Bike Polo.
theshues-
yeah, I assumed that fool was imitating Eddie. So did you. Why hate on someone who's on your side? (This is me offering an olive branch, I know it doesn't sound right, but I can't find the right wording)
Now... self-policing does work, as long as we keep an eye out. I know when I asked someone to stop fucking with city property on the Play in the Valley ride, he stopped right away. The group just needs to confront the people screwing us over, I think they're generally more amicable than we make them out to be.
This is the first time I've tried to use the picture thing, I hope it works...
Dude, that's alright, Danya is a Hebrew girl's name & I'm not used to people not knowing that.
+1 to weed, although you'll never find me smoking it.
and +1 for generating good ideas instead of just talking shit. I'd personally prefer someone at the door to stop shoplifters instead of harassing all the nice Ridazz as they go in. Any other opinions?
To prevent stealing, don't stop at a liquor stores, convenience stores, supermarkets. Make it everyone responsibility to bring what they need. There are countless of stores along the route and the rides does not go that fast. There is no reason why you can't stop, buy what you need and catch the back of the pack.
What hurts MR is the association with the thefts. By not using their parking lots as a stops, people will be forced to stop, to refuel, on their own. This will lead to smaller groups in the stores and the opportunity to steal because of the swarming will decrease.
Unfortunately, no one can stop others from stealing. All we can do is stop providing the opportunity for these people.
I think stopping at parks that are close to liquor stores and such are a great idea. I think It was two LACM's ago where there wasn't even one liquor store stop, it was a fucking amazing idea. But everyone had the option to go to any store they wanted and the people on the ride were giving directions to the stores.
I know it logically, but I spent the first 17 years of my life in the "Jew Bubble", so I still subconciously expect the people around me to "speak Jew", as one of my friends puts it.
@sc_nomad:
I don't think we need to stop using parking lots for stops entirely. I really think that if a Rida grabbed a kid about to steal, looked him in the eye, and said, "Not. Cool." the kid would be shamed into putting back/paying for the alcohol, particularly if an experienced Rida was the one doing that.
I think the title of this thread pretty much says it. I suspect that the people who do this kind of shoplifting probably have issues with authority, so having some kind of self-appointed parental figure at the door telling them not to do it is not going to sway them.
But what do I know? I was raised to believe that stealing is wrong and I believed it.
I've live in the LA area over 40 years, a significant part of that in Echo Park. Looking a kid in the eye and saying "Don't do that' does not work.
Another problem with using the store's parking lot is your are on private property. You can be cited with loitering, trespassing and a whole bunch of other far fetched charges.
There are countless of stores along the route and the rides does not go that fast. There is no reason why you can't stop, buy what you need and catch the back of the pack.
Correct.
Not to mention that standing around in a supermarket parking lot for 45 minutes is hell's own fucking boring. Is the fact that we're standing next to bicycles supposed to make it less so? 'Cause it doesn't. To be totally honest, if I were underage and broke in that situation I'd be tempted to go inside and steal beer too, just for something to do.
Yes it has been tried and yes it has failed. There are laws against stealing and yet in happens. For religious types, it is part of their doctrines and yet it happens. Society in general says 'Don't steal' yet it happens. How can a group like MR be more compelling than the ones I just describe?
@sc_nomad:
I guess I'm looking at the world through rosy-colored glasses. I've spent 15 years in the Valley, and the bored teenage types around here could be put off just by that. I can't speak for the other areas of the city, I would just hope that a young Rida would listen to a more experienced one. I mean, I am a bored teenager in the Valley, i have major authority issues, but on rides, I respect the group and try to help out whoever's coordinating the ride.
I've never seen it tired before. I also probably haven't been riding as long as you have though.
I personally think it would work, especially now.
Have two or three people at the doors during the stop, give announcements through out the ride, and if someone does do it and they get caught thats up for the entire ride to decide their punishment.
It doesn't have to be all bad, we could make this type of thing fun.
We can group buy community beer and give it out to who ever wants it.
We could bring huge signs and put them up on top of the entrance of the doors on the store saying things like "STEAL AND YOU WILL NEVER BE ALLOWED TO COME ON ANOTHER RIDE" "YOUR RUINING IT FOR US" "YOUR (citys name) PRIVILEGES WILL BE REVOKED" there are tons of ideas.
Damn, this thread which I bred is alive and kicking ass.
I feel like a kid with a million bucks and the candy store!!!
So, anyways, let us keep the liquor/refuel stops and be vigilant towards theft.
Like Turrican, I'm not to worried about being branded a snitch.
I mean, what do you get in return for NOT ratting out this bunch of fuckheads who want to bring the curtains down on this fine stage performance we call MR?
Our options are endless, we just have to get together and figure something out instead of doing nothing about it and putting little to no effort into fixing this problem. Which practically everyone is doing.
Cut out the stupid boring stops in the first place, and you won't have to worry about stationing hall monitors at the door. Do this, plus teach people how to ride in a straight line, and all of our problems will be solved and we can go back to arguing about whether it's legal to ride on the freeway.
Community beer and give it to anyone who wants it?
That sounds like trouble, it might imply MR condones and promotes underage drinking. Whether you drink or not is an individual decision. Further more who you buy and give beer to is your responsibility not MR's.
Someone might get hurt and someone parent's will blame the group as a whole. The main purpose of the ride is riding not drinking.
THANX FOR BOOTING ME ,I WAS NOT THREATENING ANYONE ,NOR MAKING ANY ''GANG'' THREATS ,I WAS SIMPLY SAYING NOONE LIKES A RAT, AND THAT FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN IN THE PAST SNITCHES DO GET STITCHES ,BUT THAT WASN'T DIRECTED TOWARDS ANY ONE, AND IT IS CERTAINLY NOT GANG RELATED , SORRY IF U ''PEOPLE '' TOOK IT WRONG , I HAVE ALREADY TRIED TO WRITE WHAT I HAVE TO SAY LIKE 3 TIMES NOW , BUT NOTHING COMES UP, SO IMA MAKE IT SHORTER , THE OLD TIMES ARE GONE , AND THE STEALING MOSTLIKELY ISN'T GONNA STOP, IT SEEMS TO COME W/ THE TERRITORY, THE WHOLE CERTAIN TRUSTED PEEPS SHOULD GO ON RUNS ,IS THE BEST SOLUTOIN TO AT LEAST THE THIEVERY, AND THE COP HARRASSMENT. WE STILL NEED STORE RUNS , AS FAR AS WHAT WENT ON LAST SAT. THESE INDIVIDUALS WEREN'T THE FIRST TO EVER STEAL ,AND BANNING THEM IS WRONG , THEY DIDN'T STEAL FROM THE GROUP OR ANYONES BIKE ,OR LIKE TRY TO KILL SOMEONE& WHATNOT , THAT IS REASON FOR TOTAL BANISHMENT FOREVER,NOT TO MENTION A REAL SERIOUS ASS KICKING, BUT THERE WASN'T EVEN ANYTHING STOLEN THAT NIGHT, I'M SURE THESE PEOPLE ARE REMORSE FUL FOR WHAT THEY DID ,NOT TO MENTION AT LEAST ONE WENT TO JAIL, IT WASN'T THAT SERIOUS, AND FOR SOME ,(U KNOW WHO U ARE TOO)THEY ARE OR WERE UR FRIENDS, U MEAN TO TELL ME THEY CAN'T BE FORGIVEN , NOONE HERE IS PERFECT, WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES,AND IF WE ARE ALL GONNA START RATTING OUT EACHOTHER ,SHOULDN'T WE START TURNING IN PEEPS RUNNING RED LIGHTS,DOING DRUGS,AND WORST OF ALL DRINKING AND DRIVING?? THAT SHIT IS PETTY. AND AT LEAST ONE HAS MORE TO DEAL W/ THAN HAVING TO HAVE ALL THIER SUPPOSED FRIEND RIDERS HATE ON THEM. NOT TO MENTION I HIGHLY DOUBT THEY REALLY MAEANT ANY HARM TO THE GROUP INGENERAL. SO BOOT ME AGAIN IF U WANT ,BUT U KNOW I'M RIGHT...
P.S. DAYNA U DO OWE EDDIEBOY AN APOLOGY!!! AND ROADBLOCK U TALK TOO MUCH SHIT, DO U EVEN KNOW WHAT UR TALKING ABOUT??? WERE U THERE??? I WAS, AND I DON'T HIDE UNDER ANY SECRET NAMES, I JUST GET BOOTED.
then why are you hiding under LAST WORDZZ instead of using your real profile? I know who you are and you know me! check your real profile's email and get at me.
Nobody here supports shoplifting. If you are looking for people here to protect you for some stupid Snitches get Stitches dogma then check the local middle school cause the last time I heard that juvenile sentence was in the 7th grade. Grow up and post under your real name. P.S. Eddie boy is the only one on this site approved to post in all caps.
Matt come on, I approve of "snitches get stitches" to a certain extent.
lets set up an example, say someone snitched on syoma or any friend of mine, I would have no remorse for them I wouldn't want to give them "stitches" but I would inflict pain on them. I know you can agree on that.
last wordzz-
I have no words to express what I want to say to you. You keep hiding behind different names, and stealing other people's style. can't you go troll some other forum? I, for one, don't appreciate an ignorant fuck who obviously can't read. Roadblock deserves mad props for everything he does for the Ridazz, and he's got the MOST seniority here.
+1 stilline: "...some stupid Snitches get Stitches dogma then check the local middle school..."
+1 bentstrider: "The expression on thief-boys face as he realizes the crew just ditched his little ass!!!"
I JUST CAN'T STAND TO READ SOME OF THIS LAME ASS BULLSHIT ON HERE ABOUT BANNING PEOPLE FOREVER ,WE ALL LIKE TO RIDE BIKES ,AND IN BIG CROWDS ,IT'S FUN AS HELL ,BUT THERE SHOULD BE CONSEQUENCES FOR CAUSING PROBLEMS FOR THE REST OF THE PACK, MAYBE THERE SHOULD BE RESTRICTIONS ,LIKE 6 MO. OF NOT BIENG ALLOWED TO RIDE IN THE GROUPS, BUT NOT FOREVER , OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, CUZ TO BE KICKED OUT FOREVER IS WAY TOO HARSH, FOR JUST STEALING ,ESPECIALLY WHEN U HAVE BEEN CAUGHT. I MEAN WOULD U SEND A PERSON THAT HAS COMMITTED A MINOR CRIME TO THE SAME PLACE ,LIKE PRISON FOREVER LIKE U WOULD ,LET'S SAY A SERIAL KILLER?? , CUZ TO ME ,THAT IS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE WHAT U WANT DONE , AND ESPECIALLY IF IT WAS HIS FIRST OFFENSE?? DAMN, EVEN THE CALIFORNIA STATE LAW GIVES 3 STRIKES!! IF THERE ARE TO BE LAWS MADE HERE FOR RIDERS ,LET THEM BE FAIR!!! AND EQUAL TO THE CRIME(S) COMMITTED.
I kind of read this thread. I skipped all the ALL CAPS shit, but read the other stuff. I still want to see us stopping at stores for booze or pee pee break and stuff. The last LACM was a nice call stopping at Ralph's for our first and only stop. Peeps got and out easy and fast. Good crowd control was maintained by us and the security. I know on some of the rides we've had ridazz watching the door to see if there's any douchebags walking out with booze. This is the best way to take care of this problem. Don't put the burden of security on to the store. That's asking for them to ban us. They won't deal with it. The last thing I want to do is stop taking a break like this. Just because of a couple of fuckheads.
I don't really care who it is. When it starts fucking up the ride for everyone else and places everyone at risk then you should have known better.
They searched every person on that ride. What if some guy had
weed or even worse coke on him and he got busted only cause some idiot deided to shoplift.
I wouldn't rat out my friends cause most of my friends aren't stupid enough to get caught and bring a bunch of cops down on our party.
How long do you think cops will keep letting us get away with red lights and open containers if they have to come out very time we ride to handle a shoplifting incident.
MR is getting bigger every month. If we don't protect our good will with the community it will cease to exist in the same way and that would be way worse than pissing off some idiot who steals beer.
By the way if you want a beer on the ride and you ain't got the cash ask me or any number of other people and you will get one for sure.
I f you are dead set on shoplifting, which i know some of you are, then please just don't do it on the ride.
I KNOW THIS STORE THAT HAS LIKE 150 CAMERAS, IF YOU WANT TO TEST YOUR "STEALING SKILLS", THEN LET ME KNOW WHO TO CALL, WHILE YOUR SORRY ASS IS SITTING IN JAIL.
What I'm saying is that we do NOT need the cops to fix our problems for us. its bullshit. we are grown men and woman (most of us at least) we can all clean up our mess.
ARE U SURE U KNOW WHO THIS IS?? I DON'T THINK U DO ... I MEAN NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE ON HERE AND I CAN USE ALL CAPS IF I WANT , SORRY U UBER PEOPLE THINK UR SO SUPERIOR, BUT IT IS A FREE COUNTRY LAST I CHECKED. I THINK I'M ALLOWED AND ABLE TO DO WHAT I PLEASE AS LONG AS IT IS WHITHIN THE LAW. AND THE WHOLE PHRASE SNITCHES GET STITCHES , LIKE I SAID BEFORE ,WASN'T DIRECTED TOWARD ANYONEAT ALL, SO BRINGING IT UP OVER AND OVER IS JUST RETARDED, IT IS JUST A PHRASE... GET OVER IT! LOOK IF UR OFFENDED, MY INTENTIONS AREN'T TO GET ANY OF U ALL RILED UP,I JUST WANT TO SAY WHAT I FEEL.. AND AS FAR AS WHO I AM ISN'T THAT PART OF BIENG HERE ONLINE W/E-NAMES?? I MEAN SERIOUSLY DOES IT REALLY MATTER WHO THE FUCK I REALLY AM??? IF U KNOW ,THE ESPECIALLY WHY DOES IT MATTER??
ALL I WANTED TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE, WAS EXPRESS THAT THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY TO DEAL W/ POTENTIAL THEIVES THAN RAT 'EM OUT OR BAN THEM FOREVER!!
Roadblock only knows who you are because he has access to evrything on this site. The point of the MR forums is not for anonymous trolls to start shit, it's for Ridazz to communicate with each other about rides and related topics. Many people are called by their username in RL too, it's not some screen to hide the little old man.
i dont think anybody here will ban someone from the rides. but i do think that the person that people want to ban will stop showing up at rides. does that make any sense?
i dont think anybody here will ban someone from the rides. but i do think that the person that people want to ban will stop showing up at rides. does that make any sense?
OH YEAH AND DAYNA , I CAN READ VERY WELL, BUT I CAN ALSO BEG TO DIFFER ON WHAT I READ ,AND I'M NOT TROLLING ANY WHERE ,I'M NOT HATING ON WHAT ROADBLOCK HAS TO SAY, OR U ,I JUST THINK THERE IS WAY TOO MUCH MACHO SUPERIORITY AND HOLIER THAN THOU BIENG THROWN OUT THERE, IT IS WHAT IT IS , AND IF NO ONE CAN SEE THAT I HAVE SOME VALID POINTS ,THEN SURE ,I WILL LEAVE UR LIL' FORUM.. HAVE A GREAT DAY!!
JUST CUZ HE HAS ACCESS DON'T MEAN IT IS THE SAME PERSON, WOW, U GUYS THINK U KNOW EVERYTHING... I'M NOT WHO U THINK I AM , BUT IF WHAT U SAY IS TRUE, WHICH I DON'T DOUBT, THERE IS SOMEONE RELATED TO ME ON HERE . WHOM U PROLLY DO KNOW.
Asking people not to steal is being holier-than-thou? wtf?
I don't have the energy for this, and trying to argue with a troll is pretty useless. If anyone else would like me to compile a list of the logical fallacies, I will, but not just for an attention-whoring troll.
Btw, that pic is cultural history. I am sad for you if you don't recognize it.
not stopping at liquor stores just because people are stealling from them doesnt make any sense. its obvious some of you dont like to because its boring to you and thats fine, but dont make this an excuse.
do you think we should stop going anywhere that has bathrooms or walls because people are tagging on them??
RU SREIOUS ,U DON'T THINK I KNOW WHO THE WIZARD IS??? AND ROAD BLOCK I DEFINATLY DON'T KNOW U BUT I'M SURE U KNOW MY BROTHER , SINCE U GAVE HIM ACCESS CODES TO UR OTHER SITE!! AND HE IS ON THE PHONE W/ ME RIGHT NOW!!
If I can put 10 or 12 beers in my bag before I leave home so can you. With that out of the way we can stop for ice cream or tacos or go swimming or who knows what. I hate shopping at CVS. Why would I want to party there? Oh.. right. The hot chicks! My bad.
I'm saying that since many of the regulars and few, if any rookies come to rides during the Winter, we could use it as an opportunity to hold un-officiated discussions in open air on how to handle recklessness.
As far as the below statement, I just want to keep it in the air that there's a small, possibility that I might be reinstated with Swift trucking and be gone for longer periods than I usually am now.
Haha yeah that manager was a sexy piece of ass...
But seriously we do need to be able to stop at stores at least for the bathrooms... us girls can't just use any empty tree. So the best thing to do is to try and self-police at stops like that one. We now know to avoid that particular CVS, but at the time it was the most convenint place to stop on the route, and the only one open that late in the immediate area.
I know it sounds crazy but, maybe just maybe we should try to ride bikes for a while. Keep the stops just long enough to regroup and then Ride our bikes again.
I know its a crazy idea, but desperate times calls for desperate measures.
If you can't have fun on a bike, where can you have fun?
I agree we dont need cops to fix our problems. But this guy Last Wordzz just likes to throw out little sideways threats and then retracts them after everyone calls him out for being a douche.
Plus the all caps is so annoying.
The whole thing will be over by winter but anyone shoplifting shouldn't be surprised if they come out to find there chain on the ground and the master link missing.
Humiliation is the ultimate in harassment. I mean being the mind treats psychological distress the same as physical distress, it's like beating the shit out of someone without them getting any broken bones or the ilk.
So yeah, take out their masterlink and be the same as the next guy who'd rather punch them in the face.
I dont believe in ratting someone out to the store or worse the police but I dont think that others should have to suffer becuase you get a high from steeling shit or dont have any money for a beer.
if you see someone stealing shit you should either confront them right then and there or go wait for them outside with a megaphone or the music trailer mic and announce the theif when he/she walks out of the store. at that point the group can decide what the next move will be. I dont think that person will try that shit again.
Anyone who brings unwanted police attention to the group through stealing, destroying property, getting into fights etc is in effect acting like a snitch and should be dealt accordingly.
Franz is someone who brings unwanted police attention to himself usually for no reason. It's a weird thing. A thousand ridazz will go by a cop and they'll pick Franz. I think it's his red cheeks. An indicator of guilt.
come on you gauise. let's face reality. we all like to meet our animal instincts. If somebody is being a ^%#^#&%#@ then let's let them know by giving them a little message they will remember.
If you gauasie are gonna be wussies and make formal complaints and think that's going to change behavior, then go ahead and watch this community continue to crumble due to some %$@^&%@&s actions.
iwas just gonna say "this is why crybaby ,sexy and me dont post on here anymore" and then sexy goes and posts.shit!by the way ,ill satrt sealing beer again once winter comes around
I used to do this in high school, however, I found waiting another day or two will make it stronger... just don't wait too long, or you end up with a vinegar tasting stuff (as it is becoming vinegar), i also added a bit of brown sugar or raisins to sweeten it a bit more.
You can also use a balloon with a single hole for the fermenter.
