I used to play with Ben Chairot (plays defense for the Winnipeg Jets) as a kid, when I was like 7, he was 5, and because I was the oldest and consequently best player on the team he practiced with, his dad who was the coach always used to throw him up against me, and have us compete against each other during practice, iron sharpening iron style. Let's just say that the window of me being better than Ben Chairot was quite short lived, but I used to be better than him, lol, though he always was a better skater than me, even at 5, his dad was a dope skating coach. Now he's making $1.4 million a year.

You hinted that when you worked in Florida you did repairs or some kind of work for ex-gangsters. That's a famous person story I'd love to hear some time.GrumpyCatFace wrote:I used to play football every weekend with Matt Prater - kicker for the Broncos.

No, I dealt poker games and “hosted” for them - getting food, cleaning, tending bar, etc. kinda like Spider in Goodfellas, but without the bullet wounds.heydaralon wrote:You hinted that when you worked in Florida you did repairs or some kind of work for ex-gangsters.

I've heard a lot of organized crime dudes buy property in Florida because in this state the govt can't seize your house even if you get nailed and convicted of RICO stuff.GrumpyCatFace wrote:Lol not unless you lived in Fort Myers.heydaralon wrote:Anyone I might have heard of?

Negative.heydaralon wrote:Radley Balko has written a lot of great stuff about the problems of policing in America. Cops today act like they are soldiers. A soldiers role is vastly different than that of a peace officer. Soldiers occupy enemy territory, police are supposed to protect citizens who subsidize their wages. We have it all ass backwards in the states.
It's far easier for a LEO in America to shoot an American Citizen than for a Soldier to shoot a hajji planting an IED.
Now, the Law Enforcement likes to play Soldier, but they are not, totally different missions as you point to. But Cops need to understand their number one job is to protect the lives of US citizens, even those breaking the law. And what LEOs need to get in their head is that they SERVE the US CITIZENS and when they sign up, they sign up to give their lives to protect All US citizens.

I dunno about that. I’ve always assumed it’s more because of the ludicrous real estate, drug supply, and idiot boomers.heydaralon wrote:I've heard a lot of organized crime dudes buy property in Florida because in this state the govt can't seize your house even if you get nailed and convicted of RICO stuff.GrumpyCatFace wrote:Lol not unless you lived in Fort Myers.heydaralon wrote:
