12 wounded as gunfire erupts at Kent car show

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/htm...ooting24m.html

Happened in Washington state. At least no one was killed, it appears.

 

 

Well... "police haven't confirmed that it was gang related" But earlier in the article it said: "Some of the car exhibitors blamed the violence on groups of young people who showed up at the party "mugging," or staring each other down." Yeah... sounds like groups of people showed up who didn't like each other... but not gang related. If I'm at a car show and see this kind of behavior I'll take the clue and leave!

 

Makes no difference. If you can't keep your beef away from innocent peoples' activities you need to go the hell on somewhere. I don't care if they kill each other- I really do not care. Worthless human beings, less than animals.

Just last night I was in CiCi's Pizza and there was a herd of them in there disrupting everything, running their mouth at the restaurant owner when he told them to leave and then when everyone turned to look they went off on everyone else. I got called an old cracker m-f and invited to step my old cracker *** outside- by one of the girls no less. So I just politely stood up, reached into my waistband and they ran all over top of each other stampeding out the door hollering that crazy old white m-f got a gun!

I didn't, but it got rid of the problem. I should not have had my meal, that I paid for, disrupted by a bunch of thugs with a white hatred complex who were obviously trying to start something.

They can't understand that people are fed up with their schit, yet they demand respect from everyone else?

Nope. I really, really do not care if they kill each other. They choose that lifestyle, they deal with the consequences.

 

 

Better watch out that they don't follow you then try to do a drive by on you. That's the way they roll. One on one, they ain't got no ***** but they seem to get brave when in a "pack"

 

If I really start talking about how I feel about these scum sucking pieces of low life vermin, I will probably get banned. We are all fed up with it. Usually when they take each other out, it is a relief to society. Okay, I better quit before I go any further.

 

Lowrider show. Nuff said.

 

Agreed with all.

Very annoying - years ago, in a different place and a different job, I learned that I'm a white peckerwood M-F, among other things - but it's fortunately not an issue in these parts.

'Course, lots of people in these parts are discretely armed to the teeth, so that might help.

... And it's got nothing to do with anyone's skin tone.

Better stop now...

Interesting. What are you on weekends?

 

If it weren't so sad a commentary on people it would be funny:

From wikipedia:
Peckerwood (or simply Wood) is a slur used through the mid 20th century by southern African Americans and upper class whites used to describe poor rural whites. It is roughly synonymous with "Cracker", more prevalent in the southeast, and "White trash", although the last implies a degree of moral turpitude. Blacks saw blackbirds as a symbol of themselves, and the redheaded woodpecker as a representation of working class whites. They considered them loud and troublesome like the bird, and sometimes with red hair like the woodpecker's head plumes. This word is still widely used by southern blacks to refer to southern whites.[1]
In the 1940s, the abbreviated version "wood" entered California prison slang, originally meaning an Okie mainly from the San Joaquin Valley. Recently in jail/prison slang the gang also known as "The Wood Pile". This has caused the symbol of the woodpecker to be used by white power skinheads and other pro-white groups.[1][2] Some white supremacist groups call male members "peckerwoods" and female members "featherwoods".[3] It is usually drawn with a long beak, sometimes drawn to resemble Woody Woodpecker or Mr. Horsepower. Sometimes the letters "PW" or "APW" (Peckerwood and American Peckerwood) are used.[1] The peckerwood gangs are concentrated in California, where some trade in methamphetamine.[1] In the East Bay Area of California (Contra Costa County, Martinez, Richmond, Pittsburg, Antioch) the peckerwood gang members are identified by the CO. CO. (contra costa county tattoo, usually in but not limited to the abdominal/stomach region). The tattoo and Co. Co. County "WhiteBoy" gang trails to the prison California gang F.A.M.E affiliates of the Aryan Brotherhood.
"Peckerwood" is referenced in a 1975 Saturday Night Live skit in which Richard Pryor must complete a word association test as part of a job interview, with interviewer Chevy Chase giving increasingly inflammatory words as prompts.[4] The term is also used in the 1985 Robert Zemeckis film Back to the Future as a rebuttal to the opposing epithet "spook."[5]

 

Very close to home. Was at a show gathering outside of the Goodguys show just south of Kent in Puyallup and there was a bunch of lowriders and donks all with some big club sign in the back window. My son asks if thats a gang? I said maybe its just a car club as to not judge a book by its cover. Walked over to talk with a couple of them (who sorta looked like thugs) and found they were friendly nice talkative people.
Maybe they were gang members but maybe they were just car guys?

No matter what it sucks that the ugly element (whatever color) exists.
Seems to be getting worse and worse.

 

"Peckerwoods" ? Learn something new every day.

 

I heard it was all over some Vato put a lsx in a cutlass

 

Funny thing is, I was always told that "peckerwood" referenced the back and forth movement of the woodpecker's head as a way of implying that the [white] person it was directed toward engaged in a certain sex act. On this side of the country, or at least where I was in NYC, it was one of those prison things that you couldn't let go if it was directed at you personally (as opposed to being directed toward your uniform), because it would be considered a sign of weakness, and could put you in danger later on.

Can't say that I really know, though.

I'm aware of that. However, I watched them all leave, in a hurry (restaurant had called police to get rid of them, not that local PD is worth a hoot dealing with something like this) and they do not know what I was driving. I waited till after closing to leave as I'm friends with the CiCi's owners.

With what my formerly stable and middle class neighborhood has turned into the last year or so, I am very aware of this mess.

And, like in Maine, a lot of people here are discreetly armed. NRA pistol courses are very popular here- they do two, sometimes three a month, and the local paper publishes all the concealed carry permits that are issued every week. Usually 50-75 every week, and often people you wouldn't think of having one.

 

Stinks here in NJ can't get a concealed permit so I guess I better just get a holster and look like John Wayne walking down the street LOL. Even in the truck have to have it in something that is locked, not under the seat or anything like that

 

Lemme guess...
