Road rage is terrible.
My mom yells at people sometimes, but she'd never hurt anyone.
However, she yelled at someone one time, and he stopped, got out of his car and started walking towards us and she sped off.
Ain't worth it. It's such a trivial thing.
Actually, this teen girl hit my dad's car when he was coming to pick me up, and she was crying and saying "Sorry!" a lot and he was like "It's okay, no one got hurt 8u/" and the damage wasn't bad, so they both continued where they were going.
I saw this one dude smash this woman's windshield and he got caught on dashcam and got charged.
Like....is that really worth it? Is it worth it to hurt someone or damage something and get jail time or a huge fine? Or even kill someone?
And I can be hot-headed, but I don't do things I want to. Like punch someone. Cuz ain't got time for that u8

Yup, it was stupid. I started laughing at the title until I saw him punch the kid.
Then it just pissed me off.
But they were caught.
Actually, people were being racist in the comments (surprise).
But two black women came to aid the woman and her daughter, so the racist comments were even stupider.

I don't get racism and prejudice still.
I mean...if you look up crimes and shit, you see EVERYONE commits crimes. It's not just one race.
Which means I don't get how people say black people commit crimes, when everyone does???
It's blatantly wrong and stupid >>



What you said about the suicidal man and getting shot when it was under control.
That's just...shitty. I can't even because I'm angry xD
That poor man and the cop too. That's what cops are SUPPOSED to do.
They're supposed to deescalate situations and SAVE people.
You're supposed to go to cops for help and protection.
Who do you go to when cops are hurting people?


I saw that one. About the woman. I don't think they should have shot her.
What I heard was she had been attacked before and she did get robbed, and had the knife as protection from the robbers. I don't think she would have hurt the kids.
At least, that's the video I heard. I may be wrong.


I don't want to say it wrong, but people with mental illness - you can't treat them like normal people in situations like this.
They're not seeing clearly because their mental illness, so you can't just tell them hands up and get down or you'll shoot.
Cops not being educated on how to deal with people like that, is bad.

I actually had an issue regarding this...
My mom left me and my baby sister in the car and this man tried to get in.
I ended up flagging down a nurse and she told the workers in the store.
The manager walked out to help, and the man punched him in the face, and such.
Well, the man was mentally ill and his parents had lost track of him.
They said they couldn't take him in because of his mental illness.
So we just went on with our days.
He fucked up MY anxiety and I still don't like sitting in vehicles and lock the doors numerous times.
But I understand they couldn't do much because he wasn't all there.
Still scarred me for life xD

I remember this black woman getting pulled over and she called the police for help because she was scared.
People were saying how stupid she was and she should have listened to the cop.
BUT I SEE WHY SHE WAS SCARED >__>
And it's shit that you get stopped by police and you're so scared that you call the police on the police.

I can't blame people for being scared of the police, considering sometime ago there was a report in Wisconsin that there was a fake cop going around stopping women at night. How can people not be scared of cops even with things going on today? It's kinda hard not to be scared of them.

With how things are going, cops being taught how to handle different mental illnesses would be a good idea but I don't think they would. That would take a long time to teach everyone but they might not, not because of time, but because of the cost to hire someone to teach everyone and in the areas where most crime seems to happen, I don't think they would. Though they would have an excuse that might work, can't afford to take too many cops off the streets. Though they might even work that out. But in other areas where racist cops seem to be it's never going to happen.

Read something yesterday about a guy who died after being arrested in the car on the way to the station. I guess this happened a year ago and his wife wants charges against the cops. But the thing is... this station has been under investigation for like 10yrs I swear the article said. I could be wrong. But it was a long time. One woman had her head slammed into a bench by a cop and it split open. This man I spoke about people said he was dragged by his arms into the station and they did nothing. No report was ever released. Not even the autopsy was released. No one knows how he died or anything. He complained of not being able to breathe and I think 2 other things (my anemia is kinda kicking my ass right now so pardon my brain failing me alot). The article mentioned about 3 other cases of people being abused by this one station. I can't remember where it was to save my life. But besides the woman who's head was split open there was another woman who got badly hurt because of the cops as well.

Kinda messed up that in some areas you are screwed no matter what because the cops in that entire area are ones to stay the hell away from. And since they are cops it's hell to get anything done to them. Ya some lost their jobs but I think it had to do with alot of press being on them for shooting someone of a different race. But I know cops are hard to get in trouble for them being actually bad.

Oh ya that station I mentioned, they had corruption accusations towards a bunch of the cops there 10yrs ago that is why they were under investigation for so darn long. And I guess the DA isn't even helping the situation. They are still deciding if they should do anything with that man who complained on the way to the station and died. I think it's a bit fishy that no reports came out yet about it. That kinda spells out cover up to me. Since everyone else who is killed in police company they had reports out within the next few days and this one, there is nothing. And considering it's from that bad of a station, I highly doubt any will ever be released. I have no idea if his wife knows how he died, but considering the tone of the article I don't even think they informed that poor woman.

Now that man wasn't exactly good, I guess he didn't report to a parole officer after being out of jail for stealing credit cards. So that is why there was a warrant out for his arrest and people in the comments said his fault since he was a criminal and if you tat your face... you're not worth much pretty much. I don't think he deserved it though. Who cares if your bad, still shouldn't die in custody. That is why we have the courts, but they don't do much to help anyone either.

With you having that guy come up to the car; I'd have more severe paranoia issues that I already do if that happened to me. My brain is broken and that is one reason I refuse to drive. We went to a store about 40mins away. I was reading the directions and I felt 3 panic attacks at different spots because of how the highway was because of construction. I knew for a fact that would be 3 accidents my fault that would of happened. So people like me can't drive and with how the world is... It's not safe for us either because if people found out about our brains... We might be in more trouble than it's worth for something we either can't control or if it wasn't even our fault, then we'd be blamed no matter what since our brains aren't "normal". Though my husband said our brains are the normal ones. The ones people say are normal aren't the normal ones. It's switched lol. I guess since there are more people out there with mental issues than there are with "normal" brains, whatever that even means.

I hope I made sense, brain kinda dead from lack of oxygen. Ugh I hate anemia so damn much. And summer is when the bitch goes wacko on me.

I always found cops scary and intimidating.
But I feel that way with anyone I don't know xD;

Right right. Money is usually behind a lot of things xD
But there ARE cops that do care, and would probably take it if given.
But I guess if not a lot show interest, it won't go anywhere.

I have actually seen and heard many officers and judges that were so full of rage at crimes they worked, so not all people in that profession are only in for money and are racist, etc. Like how all cops aren't shitty.
I actually came across a story where this judge in one of the Middle Eastern countries, sentenced a killer to be killed the same way that he killed others, and the victim's family members could join in.
People said that wasn't right, but I agreed with it xD;
It seems clear that the judge cared about what happened and sentenced him to the same fate.
I know a lot of people have issues with the death penalty, and I think it's not always necessary, but there are people that deserve it.
I also saw a judge act out in anger in one case, and people said it's not right for judges to do that.
But it made me happy because even this judge hated the crime so much, that they did act out in anger.

You know, I think I saw what you're talking about. About the man that died in the car.
No, I know I've seen it.
I think it is kind of old because I saw it a while back.

I think it's usually press too.
I have heard that cops are all buddy buddy and stick together.
Cops that don't, something seems to screw up for them.


I've had family that's been in and out of prison and they're good people.
One even got out and started his own family and is still doing good.
Because someone was in prison or committed a crime, depends on the crime, aren't just horrible people.
There's many reasons why people do things and how they got to prison.
Not to mention so many innocent people get put in there.
So just blowing off a criminal or someone who has been to prison getting hurt or dying or not being worth anything, is horrible in itself xD
They're still people and have people who love them.


It happened about seven years ago. Still affects me. No matter where we are, I lock the doors multiple times just to be sure.
And I get anxious when my aunt rolls my window all the way down =__=
There are people that....I have no fucking idea how they can legally drive xD
And I'm sure a lot of them don't have mental illness.
Like...you gotta do specific things to get your license, right?
What do they instantly forget or got lucky??
I don't drive, and I can drive better than some of these people.
But since I do have anxiety, I do keep my eyes on the road and look in the mirrors constantly.
I also slow down a lot to make a simple turn and such.
So my anxiety makes me pay more attention than usual so I don't make a mistake xD;



It's fine, I don't sleep well, so I guess we understand each other better >xD



I saw where Venus Williams is having to deal with a car accident that killed someone.
It got me to thinking about how some people think it doesn't affect the people who killed someone in accidents.
Like this woman committed suicide by jumping in front of a truck, and everyone was focused on her and such, and someone mentioned no one has said anything about the driver.
How the driver was fucked up because of what happened and it wasn't even his fault.
I also saw where this man was cleared of molesting and killing his daughter.
He had been sleeping with her in the bed, and he rolled over onto her and smothered her by accident.
He was cleared and set free and people were saying he needs to face charges anyways for killing her.
The same woman ^ said he'll have to live with accidentally killing her the rest of his life, and it was punishment enough.
Which I do agree with. Like I said, people think it's over and done with and the people are completely over with what they did.
And it's not true. They'll feel that pain and guilt forever. And it hurts a lot.
I've done things that I didn't mean to, and I still feel guilt.
Even if I didn't do it on purpose or whatever, I still feel the pain of guilt.
I still cry too, and it's been over 10 years since it happened.
So it's not like "Well, I'm over it! Happiness for eternity \8u/"

The prison system to me is just beyond screwed up big time. Small crimes that don't hurt people carry heavier sentences than the ones that do hurt people. Like years ago I heard pot possessions had a heavier sentence than killing some in different states but I forget which ones. That just doesn't make sense. Or those college guys who got off scott free for sexual assualt... I know the justice system works but at other times it just doesn't at all.

With me driving since I have a fear of all forms of transportation and my husband is the first and only person who didn't trigger fear in me while they were driving, driving for me is a bad idea. Got hit in my grandparents pickup truck at 6 by a semi and then when I was 13 with the same grandparents got hit by a stupid woman blonde who slammed on the damn gas pedal while trying to shoo off a bee out of her car from her open can of orange soda. Both times they got hurt and nothing happened to me. And the semi one makes no sense. And hearing your grandpa is having a heart attack while people are walking past you kinda messed me up. So I have always been aware that I'm not someone who should get behind a wheel. I don't want to test my limits and cause an accident which I have a feeling I honestly would and it would be because I freaked out. Especially if I had to drive next to a semi (that seems to happen quite alot).

I read about Venus and I didn't read the article, didn't want to take the chance of seeing people going off on an accident that who knows what happened.

And you are right. People have to live with what they did. Some might not have an affect but I bet alot of people actually feel what they did and have to suffer for what they did, no matter if it was an accident or not. I know there are people out there with hearts and feel that pain.

I'm kinda happy that those judges acted out in anger. I know some hate their job because they can't do too much because of the law and they have to follow the laws and have a limit to do a certain amount. I feel for them. I know their jobs aren't easy. Though I do kinda hate defendant attorneys. Only because I don't know which are the ones that don't care what their client did or who are the ones that hate having to defend this person for what they did and it makes them sick.

Ugh I need to go calm down. Someone got on my case on deviantart for uploading screencaps of Trinity Blood that I posted for people to use to create things and right now my stress is high since I'm dealing with trying to edit a 2hr long video of me playing a game and trying to cut it down to small clips to upload to Youtube. Ugh :mcargh:

Correct. I have seen people caught with drugs, getting a longer sentence than rapists and a child molesters.
Like, drugs are terrible, but if someone got caught with weed, I don't think prison is necessary.
And even if people get caught with drugs and they have an addiction, they need help.
As someone who has been around alcohol and drug abuse throughout my life, addicts need help.
They don't need to be tossed in prison and treated like garbage.
There's a whole structure behind addiction that people don't even understand.
I actually would love to become someone who helps addicts, because I've seen what it does to people and people around them.


I don't think it's bad or weird to be afraid of driving. People are fucking INSANE. I also get it if you've been in accidents before - that leaves a huge impact.
My mom had friends who got into a car accident and they were killed. She's also been in accidents.
My grandpa was in a few accidents, one messed up his back really bad.
I've not really been in any, but we did have this thing fall off a truck and hit our car.
It was scary at the time, and I feel nervous when trucks carry stuff, but it's not that bad.
Heh I actually had this talk with my dad before he left:

Dad: I don't really want your mom teaching you how to drive, she's not a good driver 8u
Me: She says the same about you u8
Dad: I'm a great driver >8u
Me: How many accidents have you had u8
Dad: What does that have to do with anything >8U

Right right. It's not like she intentionally drove into them. People on the internet talk big and say shit they wouldn't in real life or if it happened to them.
I have actually come across people who hurled hatred and when I talked to them about it, they were decent people. I guess it's just the anonymity of the internet.

It seems like...people are like "That's not professional!" but I'd rather have a judge that didn't seem like a robot or one that seemed like they were only there for a paycheck.
But I've been called unprofessional because of how I talk and act xD;
I actually wanted to become an attorney to help people who get fucked over by the justice system.
But I couldn't live with myself if I defended someone I knew was guilty.


Yeah, people don't like that on DA xD
Was it like a collage or just singles?
I mean, they allow renders on the site just fine. All you do is erase backgrounds.
It's probably tedious work, but they didn't draw the image.
What's your DA account u8?

I never cared about people with drug addictions. When I read Nikki Sixx's book I realized how much of a hell these people live in and started to feel bad for them. My so called dad I heard sold and did drugs so I grew up hating people who did them with a burning passion because of it. But now I feel sympthany for them since what I read in his book was... HOLY CRAP.

LOL what your dad said about being in accidents is kinda funny. My husband's mom constantly says to be careful when we leave her home. And when I first moved to Ohio I never realized how stupid drivers are here. Now I'm used to Ohio moron drivers... Just wished they weren't mostly women.. and blonde women at that.

I prefer judges to seem human and take their job seriously. Not like those psycho ones who blame people for something going wrong and not care about the person who was in front of them.

It was a rar of all the screencaps I took of TB and other animes. I seperated them by landscapes, places and objects (things I saw as being important to the storyline like in Basilisk the eyes of Oboro and Gennosouke). I have tried to do rendering... and it's hell especially if you have shaky hands like me. It's not easy but it's kinda easy to do. Just haven't uploaded them. And some of the screencaps I had to edit to remove words from them. Like the stupid japanese text that pops up in some of them. Removing words isn't easy because it can just duplicate the image around the part you are removing and it takes awhile to fix. Or you can't do it at all and just like... Ok I'll crop this image to a shorter height instead lol. My da is nialondo http://nialondo.deviantart.com/

I had to switch my name which was the beginning of my email... I never realized it was pretty much saying blowjob girl. I misspelled Bijou from the anime Hamtaro and kept it like that for several years and never noticed it until a few years ago. Had that sucker for over 17yrs now and I refuse to change it. TOOO much stuck to it that I would end up screwing things up especially since I have MMOs that are paid subs registered to it lol.

Yeah, a lot of people don't know about drug abuse and addiction.
I grew up around some and it led to me hating all drugs.
Since I've educated myself, I don't think weed is that bad, but everything else is.
And it's not just drugs, addiction to anything is serious and bad.
I was addicted to my computer and internet for so long.
I'd get hysterical if my computers broke and I let my body and mind deteriorate.
I've gotten much better, but the damage has been done xD
My aunt had a boyfriend/friend that ended up drinking himself to death.
He was told it would kill him, but he didn't quit and it did kill him.

The thing about addiction is:
1. You need to solve the actual problem, not just take the items away.
2. People need to want to stop. Trying to help them means nothing if they don't want to stop.

>XD
You live in Ohio 8U
My bestie lived there, not sure if she moved yet.
She told me she was driving to work and there were police out because a meth lab exploded.
She said it like it was a normal occurrence.

Same same. That goes for people like nurses and doctors and such.


Ah, yeah, my hands are shaky too. I'll like....try so hard to do something slow and stead and fuck up at the very end xD
I watched you and gave you da llama 8U
>XD
Reminds me of the same bestie naming her character Orah Lee.
I was like ">>....you need to change your name because all people will think is oral sex u8"

Yup.
I actually read an article about how people were going bankrupt because they had someone in prison.
Having to send them money and food/drink/toiletries.
I sent a family member about $5 worth of items and they charged me about $4 as tax.
The tax was almost higher than the few things I sent.
Not to mention things they have in their machines are expensive.

We actually saw this man visiting his loved one, and he had bought a pickle.
One pickle was $1 in the machine. He didn't eat it, so he was taking it home.
They made him throw it away because you can't take things with you.
But it wasn't even open. It was a perfectly good pickle and they told him to toss it.
I've had to spend a lot on someone currently in prison, I'd be damned they tell me I can't take a fucking pickle I bought >Bu

They also don't seem to be in a rush when someone has medical conditions.
This one guard was being a huge bitch to my family member for no reason.
One of the higher ups saw her, and she changed her tune when she noticed they saw her.

Just toss more and more people in.
Gotta make those dividends.

Moi, hehe thank you. You must of been the one that I got a noticifation as following me someone named Zombie I think, can't remember, I followed them back and gave a llama too as well.

Ya addiction is hell. After reading that book I realized how bad addiction really is and it makes you think hard about things like that.

Oh ya meth is a big thing here. Mostly heroin for sure in the surrounding area where I live. I heard about a lab blowing up.

>.> I feel for your friend. At least I don't use a part of my email for many things anymore. Changed those as much as I could.

I heard how ridiculous things are in prisons and you are right I wouldn't want to toss something I bought etiher. That is kinda sick. I feel bad for people in prison, mostly the ones who do small things or the ones completely innocent. I swear I heard about one person who got out of prison that was innocent, but was lost when they were released and did bad to get back in. All they knew which is sad but kinda understandable. I just wish they weren't for profit because more harm is ever done in that case.
