I love Indianapolis.

[Three Hole Puncher]

The Monon Trail is a really nice bike/jogging path that runs North-South from downtown Indy way up to a really nice suburb on the outskirts of the city.

Unfortunately, the trail runs through some 'colorful' neighborhoods near the downtown area. Some of the "folks" in these neighborhoods have decided to inflict some of their notorious savagery on various innocent(and pale) people recreating on the trail... the usual muggings and sexual assaults.

Here's how they're dealing with the situation... five surveillance cameras are being removed from particularly dangerous intersections in "da hood" directly adjacent to the Monon Trail... not dangerous as in car accidents... dangerous as in 'drug dealing and shoot-em-ups'. And the cameras are being installed... you guessed it... on the Monon Trail directly adjacent to "da hood".

:clap: :haha7:

So... the surveillance cameras that used to keep the drug dealers, gang bangers and whores at bay on the "busy corners" in "da hood", are now going to be performing the much more important and vital task of protecting the Eloi on the trail from the Morlocks out of "da hood".

You see... we've got our priorities straight out here in Middle America. :icon_mrgr

typical.

About 10 years ago there was a guy hiding behind a railroad bridge wall along the bike path on the Schuchyill River in Fairmount Park in Philly who would wait for bikers to drive by then he would run out from behind the wall and smash them in the head/chest with a baseball bat to mug them. Gotta love the enterprising savages.

A pretty similar m.o. here in Indy... a group of dusky gentleman would walk along the trail... one of them pushing a "borrowed" bike. As a biker on the trail would pass them, the "young man" with the bike would violently shove the bike into the path of the biker, knocking him flying... at which point the group of "youths" would "render assistance" to the fallen citizen.

Animals.

Used to ride my road bicycle at 4:00AM to train when there wasn't any traffic, but it was also when the fucko's would be out. One day a carload of kids pass me, hit the brakes and make a u-turn to fall in behind me. I started with the ASP baton at the ready and as they pulled past me I was assaulted - with a bunch of drunken bare asses pressed against the glass.

See' there are some yutes that know how to assault someone - humorously!

P.S. - no homo

One armed citizen could correct the situation, forthwith.

Wouldn't it be hard enough just to ride a bicycle?

Maybe it's time to bring back the Velo-Dog for those pesky kinds of problems bicyclists run into.

Screw that less-then-lethal shit. Anything less then a .38 should not be used, IMO.

[Sinn Fein]

You can only use a .38 if you've been enticed.

[gleet]

Nah, sometimes it would be fun just to pedal past a savage up to no good and give him a nice hurtful wound. Maybe the festering pus pocket will allow him to reconsider some of his life choices.

Eloi on the trail from the Morlocks out of "da hood".

Nice.

Nice to know I'm not the only one that carries one. I started feeling weird about it for awhile.

I fucking hhaaaaaaaaaaaaate Indianapolis. Had to do surveillance there several times. Still haven't found another city where making a left turn is that close to impossible

You've obviously never been to Boston... where the only way to make a left is to make three rights.

Lippity dip!

The first time I went there, I was on business from Chicago. I was blown away they had such a deep southern accent. We are only like 3 hours away!

Hah? I've lived her for two years now, and I've heard the southern thing maybe a total of 10 times... and all of those were Kentucky transplants. I've honestly heard more NY/Long Island accents out here than I have the southern thing.

I hear the Chicaaahgo, "Gonna grill some saahsages." all over the place in Indy. The Indianapolis natives have "the news anchor" accent... which is to say no accent.
