Waukesha man describes tense takedown when parade suspect showed up at his house
Washington Examiner ^ | 11/23/21

Posted on 11/23/2021 12:37:13 PM PST by Pollard

Daniel Rider was unaware of the melee taking place less than a mile away from his house at the Waukesha Christmas parade. Then chaos came knocking on his door.

Rider, who had just gotten back from hunting and was spread out on the couch watching football, heard a knock. His doorbell camera recorded a man in a red T-shirt shivering and begging to come inside around 5 p.m.

"I called an Uber , and I'm supposed to be waiting for it over here, but I don't know when it's coming," the mysterious man can be heard saying. "Can you call it for me please? I'm homeless."

Rider's Midwestern hospitality kicked in. He invited the man into his home, gave him a jacket, made him a sandwich, and let him use his phone.

"All of a sudden, I look outside my street and I saw a few cop cars drive by and I'm getting extra nervous," he told NBC News , who obtained the doorbell cam footage.

No way I would let someone in that has a tear drop tattoo. That’s a prison tat.

But even during the Great Depression, my Granny said that while they often fed hobos, they didn’t allow them in the house.

Yep, my ol' Granny told me about some of the hobos.

She said one out of a hundred was a worthless human being, but the other 99 were simply men with no anchor, no jobs, nowhere to go.

She told me about placing a basket of goodies (needle and thread, occasionally a small pocket knife, small jars of honey, apples, etc) on a small platform next to her mail box, with a note to take what was needed.

Out of the many, many times she did so, only once was the entire basket taken, never to be seen again.

She would find notes of thanks written on the paper and with the pencil she left in the basket, along with a few stamps, envelopes and penny post cards.

As far as she knew, nearly every week the post man would pick up an outgoing letter or a penny post card.

Regarding the small pocket knife she would sometimes place in the basket, she once found a small carved figurine of Christ on the cross, carved on the end of a broom handle.

It had an inscription carved on it: "Danke schoen", and in English: "May God Bless you".

I still have it.

Apparently there were many immigrants wandering the roads back in those days, too.

She also found many chalk marks around her home and property, which she was told was Hobo language, telling others that she was a good person and to not disturb her or bother her.

I cannot imagine the times nor the mindsets of these men and women that lived through them.

Some of the Hobo (or Tramp) art was impressive.

Are you actually talking about that pink elephant in the room? I’d also like to know why hardly anyone wants to admit they see it.

“Why are there so many “career criminals” in the “black community?”

Because over 70% are without fathers in their families and the average IQ is 85. They grow up without discipline and are hard to educate. Crime pays.

People from this stripe in the glorious rainbow are fantastic storytellers when begging or looking to hurt or kill you.

They will string together a chain of jargon words which make sense in small chunks but, when assembled into the typical run-on sentence make no sense at all.

This poor Wisconsin man needs a twelve week internship in Brooklyn, and he will never make this mistake again.

Can I say it; we’ve become a post-Christian society, in essence? I’m embarrassed to say given my natural tendency to do as you said, help others who are in need. Determining in a split second those who genuinely are in need and those who feign it in order to commit an evil act (to deceive or lie)is one of life’s test, both of faith and survival. Nothing worth doing is easy.

I thought the ‘pink elephant’ was what you see when you’re sloshed out of your mind. And the ‘elephant in the room’ is what you notice clear-eyed, and which others ignore - out of either politeness or expedience.

Let’s keep our allusions straight :-)

Claimed he was homeless. How does a homeless person afford Uber?

Sometime the local city council or some other social community activist organization will fund a Uber ride for some worthy homeless or undocumented person.

Took a few of them myself when I was Ubering.

Destination varies....Hotel a grade above Motel6....Greyhound Bus Station...or the favorite:

Narcotic drug dispensary.

Lol. The elephant has always been pink in my mind. Wonder what Freud (Fraud) would say about it.

I don’t know much about ‘Fraud’. I’m a Jung fan.

Here’s the biggest reason: black women on welfare.

Pre welfare, women wanted a stable guy with a decent job to marry. A guy who wanted female companionship needed to meet expectations. It was an incentive to get educated and get a job with a future. Men will do what they need to do to get laid.

Now, underclass black women do not want husbands who would bring in less money than their benefits. So they go for the gang thugs, because they’re more exciting than guys who work at fast food places. So the incentive now is to be a gang thug, so the women will see you as “exciting”.

"Pink elephant" is a hallucination brought on by drinking, and was introduced by Jack London in his alcohol memoir John Barleycorn in 1913.
