I don’t blame you, but how many big cities are really all that different?

[Segovia]

Ohio is one state where my CCW permit issued in Pennsylvania is not valid. I wouldn’t feel so vulnerable if I could take my little friend along.

[PAR35]

I think they’ve done some ethnic cleansing around the Cleveland Clinic - it’s not as bad as it used to be. But I think I’d budget for a cab.

Is this how the Dallas PD keeps its crime stats down?

This happened in Cleveland.

[Lancey Howard]

You been hittin the sauce today???

No. Alcohol wrecks my LSD buzz. Sorry... I thought your previous post to me was meant as an insult, but I'm probably just being paranoid. Everybody thinks I'm paranoid. I can tell by the way they all look at me. They try to appear casual, but inside they're staring at me, and pointing, and calling me "paranoid".

[Uncle Chip]

Well one thing to keep in mind:

Just because you might be paranoid doesn’t mean that they’re not out to get you.

[Lancey Howard]

Oh, they’re out to get me.

[Cyman]

You should see what they do to guys hitting in the 4th hole.

I’m thinking of cancelling and looking for a safer hospital.

If Cleveland Clinic is anywhere near Euclid Avenue then I'd say yes, look elsewhere.

[darkangel82]

This Indians fan is sorry this happened, but you never go out in Cleveland by yourself, ever.

[darkangel82]

Er, the Clinic is ON Euclid Avenue.

[GeronL]

I think its coming to that in every big city.

.............
Go Choo! Go Choo!

(in Korean=”Red Pepper! Red Pepper!”)

[darkangel82]

Choo? Nope, they traded him to the Reds. lol

[GeronL]

Oops. I didn’t know that... must have been recently?

Plain Dealer report with more details than the Dallas Morning News and local comments (skittles mentioned). This bulls*** is happening in every city, but it certainly doesn't help that Cleveland and Cuyahoga County make up and follow their own Chicago like rules on gun possession. My CCW class was warned by the instructors to not expect State law or the Constitution to carry much weight in Cuyahoga County.

If’n they did it for Trayvon, then it’s okay. It’s cultural, don’t ya know?

[Venturer]

I read a little about Zimmerman. The guy did a lot of good things. he mentored kids, he volunteered to work to help stop thefts.

Funny thing if Zimmerman hadn’t been the guy charged with murder, he would be with the crowd that wants to hang him.

[GuySwell]

There’s no reason to cancel. I’ve been there twice for surgery. There’s a safe, free and convenient shuttle bus that runs almost constantly between the hospital and the on-campus hotels.
