He should have been carrying a concealed pistol. Then he would still have his car. He made his choice. No more sympathy for the voluntarily defenseless.

“That is one beautiful church.”

They were all beautiful churches in Wilmington. Wilmington was full of ethnic neighborhoods. Each had their unique churches. Went to St. Paul's school for 8 yrs. Mostly Irish/Polish neighborhood then. Walked the 5 blocks home when I was in the first grade. Now it is a predominately Spanish Parish. Which is the good news. The hood is mostly African. And it's sad to say that I wouldn't drive through that neighborhood now. Let alone be caught walking in it.

Yep.

LOL

I’m stoopit sum times.

Lived in Greenville for 4 years.

I walked all over Wilmington even the sketchy places.

Had a friend who lived in the projects right by the sign that announces:

“Wilmington, a place to be somebody”.

I laughed, chuckled or had some smart alec comment everytime I drove past that sign.

He has his car back now, as they caught the perp. Also, he’s a Franciscan, and they’re not known for carrying weapons other than the crucifix and/or a Rosary.
