Someone stole my dog

[johncalvin]

i was tellin my bro the story. told him bout the dodge n he immediately knew who i was talking about. when to that guys house, he said he found my dog walkin on the road so he picked him up( which is bullshit , my dog has gotten out once in the years ive had him). Then he tells us he sold the dog. I lost it at that point but my bro called the cops, they made me go home, n a few minutes ago i got my dog back.

Theres a difference, however subtle, between stereotyping, and profiling. Stereotypes are broad generalizations based on the actions of perceived actions of a few. Profiles, are based on quantitative statistical analysis. Have you ever heard of an FBI "Profiler?" They are able to build an idea about a person who commits crimes, based on statistics related to OTHER people who they have caught, who commit crimes, who also SHARE THE SAME CHARACTERISTICS.

So, is the OP wrong, statistically? African-Americans make up 13% of the United States population, but 60% of the United States prison population.

Now, that is a simple STATISTICAL FACT, that MOST PEOPLE, are too scared to point out, in fear of being labeled a racist. But no one cries or plays the race card if someone points out that 99% of terrorists are Arab speaking, of middle eastern decent. Thats ok, but pointing out the aforementioned isnt? Right.

Fortunately, we live in a society where you cannot be condemned and sent to prison for a crime you didn't commit based solely on the statistical likelyhood that you fit the profile of the suspect (assuming the system works properly, which it does in the majority of cases, and if you have a problem with our system, PLEASE propose a better one, and THEN I will listen to your rampant bitching about our system).

Those stats are a bit skewed, Godfather. Unlike the issue of terrorism, when it comes to conviction rates of African Americans there are other factors you failed to mention. We can go on and on about this and I don't want to hijack this guys thread (It sucks someone stole you dog, brotha. I'd have a fit if someone stole one of mine). But you can't compare the racial profiling of African Americans in property crimes based solely on statistics and that of those of terrorist based on similar statistics.

Besides this mythical fear you are referring to about people not wanting to admit these stats for fear of being labelled racist is unfounded. These stats are brought up all the time by any and everyone who wants to prove either racial inferiority, predisposition to crime, etc. These stats aren't hard to find, nor are they not thrown out there on a regular basis without deeper detail.

Ok, I understand. My point however was that Stereotyping is QUALIITATIVE (i.e.- a person who committed a crime against my uncle, brother, aunt was this race, or a drug dealer usually drives this kind of car with these size rims). Whereas Profiling is simply QUANTITATIVE (i.e.- statistically people who stab someone to death XX number of times, means that the person did so because it was a crime of passion and they knew their victim based on STATISTICS of similar crimes and people convicted of such. So looking at incarceration rates of people based on any NUMBER of metrics, race being one of them, we can draw a profile.

Cute pooch man, i'm glad you got him back! So, you gonna give us details of wtf happened or what? What is the brother you thought it was, or your local whitey up the block? Regardless, how'd you get the dog back and is the thief's face smashed in?

Damn I thought you had a picture of the kolerd fella...I was fixin to get my sheet, robe and rope and make things right....

In all seriousness, I am really sorry to hear of your loss and also sorry your thread took such a bad turn due to some of your emotional comments. On the other hand at least it helped keep your mind busy and let some of your anger diffuse. As far as thinking this guy did it while the evidence may point that way, one time at work after arguing with a coworker I had my keys dissapear out of a cabinet and all of my other coworkers were saying how they saw the guy who I argued with back in the supply room and how I ought to kick his ass etc. Well fortunatly I didn't because about an hour later the parts supplier drove back to our garage and came in saying he was filling the cabinet and accidently took the keys out of the cabinet...Long story short this is why the burden of proof lies with the accusor.

Best of luck with you dog, hopefully he will get away and show up at your doorstep soon.


I just read you got him back, did he show up at the door step with part of the chain hanging from his collar?

Thanks for the clarification, Godfather. As usual, I always appreciate your postings.

[Vettester]

Exactly man...The op is correct in his thinking. I bet it was the black guy why would that not make sense. He saw someone who did not look like they belonged there (by looked i dont mean race). If he saw some white guy with a shaved head with ****en tattoos on his skull and face I am sure he would think thats odd as well. he said he lives in a white middle-senior aged neighborhood. Lets get ****en real here man. America has become to politically correct and its bullshit. You know who the good people are and you know who are the iffy people are most the time.

Right on the mark! We are way too consumed with being politically correct. There's been times in my neighborhood where we see someone and the instincts kick-in that something isn't right. This has happened more times with some white guys, but I know of a time or two that it was a few black guys. Society has tried to make everything about race. Funny thing is, when I'm in central LA seeing some customers, I get lots of looks, and not good ones either. Hell, I even asked a guy in the shipping department at one of my customers (who happened to be of African-American descent), "Why do I get looked at negatively in this area?" His response was (as he was laughing), "You're the only cracker crazy enough to drive around here". Of course coming from him, on his turf, that's funny and acceptable. However, if I even hinted something close to equaling his slang, I'd be pulled out for racial remarks. Where does it end? Or better yet, "Can't we all just get along?"

well well well......as I warm up my syringe between my palms....

Keep those palms warming up, I'm overdue for another prostate exam too!

Exactly.....We never got the story of how the dog was found....

I'm hoping you have good bedside manners? So before you go sticking me with that thing, do I get a kiss? =)

YES to good bedside manners......Florence I am

i see what you did there, slick old man

LOL!

No! My motives are extremely complex, and therefore very difficult to fathom. =)

Indeed you are....

HEY! am I seeing double here? ADORABLE! JUST ADORABLE!

BgMc do you have an alibi for the night of the missing dog ?

He was busy being chased by the po po. Saw it all unfold on cops. Bad Boys Bad Boys what cha gonna do when they come for you.

[Cloe85]

Im glad you got your dog back.

Other stories of dogs lost/stolen.... horrible

and giving him away so you couldnt say good-bye,

and especially Ms Kitty... I would be so BS!

[gbrice75]

^ ^ ^ I think the point here is not whether he was white or black or green... it was the fact that there was a suspicious looking guy driving around the neighborhood and he clearly stood out. This one happened to be black. It could have been anybody - as somebody said earlier, a bald headed white guy with tats on his face wouldn't have flew under the radar any better than the black dude.

[Flier]

What if he was bald headed with tats in his face AND Black??
Then we would summon the community to find him, and punch first and ask later...lol
Unless it was Mike Tyson...then we would ask for an autograph instead.

[wmaousley]

Folks this has officially turned into a depressing thread!!!

[clemont51]

When I think of animal abuse I think of that low-life piece of vermin, Micheal Vick. Strangled his
own dogs. Then the scum management of the Eagles brings that subhuman back to play!
Arm yourself if you live is a crappy neighborhood. Or, always be packing when you are in or near
the "territories". Sorry, you Brits will be limitied to little penknives. Takes much time to carve up
some muzzie or Somalian piece of dreck.

Agreed, Vick is pure scum of the Earth. Only the Eagles are classless enough to hire him... I don't give a fvck HOW good he is.

He said he was sorry. LOL Isnt that all that maters?
It's guys like him who have no excuse. He already had everything. Some people do it because it's all they know, it's part of the culture where they are from but once you are in the US and have some education there is not excuse for something like that, it's just cruelty to animals for your own pleasure.

They say there is a fine line between torturing animals and people. Most people start with animals before moving up to kids/people.
