The title of the thread could have had the words for Car, Tennis shoes, Small Change, or many other words. Pool is not the bad person in the story, it is the bad person in the story that committed the crime.
We just had a real Dirt Bag in Phoenix shoot two Priests During a Robbery of a Catholic Church. One of the Priests died, but the cops got the Dirt Bag. Now he will sits in jail, until he gets a fair trail in only God know how many years down the road.
If you ever watch the True Crime TV shows, so many of the murderous evenings start with the perps and sometimes victims too playing pool in some bar.
This is why our founding fathers gave us the right to carry.... and I do.It most likely not as much pool related as these Wannabe Thuggies were out looking for an easy Mark. So they hit a place where people hang out and pick up on an easy Mark.
Do you believe that they would have picked up on anyone their own size with a few of their Buds hanging out with them.
The young kid was probably flashing a bit of a wad around, maybe to impress them or others.
Hopefully the next time they try and pull one off, the guy will have a carry in the back of his pants and they will learn a lesson.
Its bound to happen, law of averages.
Back in the mid-60's I played for money once in a while at an old time Mexican Bar
in San Jose, CA. Mind you, this was a very high-risk area for Anglos such as myself,
but I had a decent rapport with the owner/bartender, so I took the my chances.
One Friday after work, I dropped in for a Cool one and two Chicanos were playing 8-ball
on the barbox, so I just observed while I sipped my suds. Pretty soon their conversation
got louder and louder, then fists starting flying. Sooo, the owner/bartender tries to break
up the fight and these two POS then ganged up on HIM and beat him to death with cue
sticks ... right before my eyes. All of this over who's turn it was to put the quarter in the slot.
Never, repeat never did I ever go near that bar again.
Was the victim a skinny creepy-ass Cracker?
well... at least we got pool on tv
"You didn't make that 8 ball clean...it went in off the titty and you didn't call it."
Philthydelphia has many pool rooms that aren't safe to be in.
Was the victim a skinny creepy-ass Cracker?
Why did he follow them at the end?
well... at least we got pool on tv. :thumbup:
