But First Take Your Head Out Of Your Ass
by Bob Walsh
There are actually some decent places to live in Oakland, CA. Mostly up in the hills. Since the people who live up there have actual jobs with actual incomes and buy their drugs from reliable drug-dealers rather than street-corner hood-rats some of these neighborhoods are actually full of nice houses and nice cars. The nice houses were helped by a very nasty urban fire storm some years ago that destroyed hundreds of houses in the Oakland hills. Since these people actually have some shit worth stealing they sort-of keep their eyes open, and call the cops when they see suspicious loiterers.
This particular lurker who had the cops called on him was very clever. He was disguised as a fire fighter, with a full set of turn-outs and equipment. He had even gone so far as to drive to the scene in a big red fire truck. He had several conspirators with him, also having driven into the area in a big red fire truck which was parked at the scene of the lurking. They were also dressed in accoutrements and attire suitable for an Oakland fire fighter, hence the Oakland Fire Dept. insignia on the fire truck and on the uniforms.
Also, of course, the suspicious lurker was black.
He was, of course, actually a fire fighter who was, along with his colleagues, doing a perfectly legal and laudable fire safety check in the neighborhood because they don't want another urban fire storm destroying their tax base.
Come on people, get your heads out of your butts.
