So "I have no idea" is no longer socially acceptable?

See ladies? We're not stubborn or unable to admit we're lost.

We're looking out for your safety when we refuse to ask for directions.

"Yeah, It's back the way you came"

Calmamity: Maybe the man asking directions was black looked like a scary scary robber.

The dude was lucky he didn't have a hoody on.

"excuse me sir, do you know how to get to fifth street"

"HE'S COMING RIGHT AT ME! blam blam blam, etc."

/shooter may have to reload a couple times
//just to be safe

LeroyBourne: I was always told when visiting Chicago if you're in a questionable neighborhood and a person asks you for directions, and you have no idea where he wants to go it's a sure fire way they know you're not from around there, and you may get mugged.

...or asking what time it is.

/needs 30 cents for the bus, too.

Last time I was asked for directions, it turned out to be a tactic - as soon as I began to speak, the guy pulled out a foot-long knife.

So, yeah, I might just panic if you ask me where Main Street is.

Yeah, this guy doesn't get to use that excuse, according to my Google Powers, Winder, GA has something like 14,000 people. Pretty sure it's not a mugging...

badLogic: What would have been really amusing is if they were both packing and the asker had skinned his smoke wagon as well.

Easier and more accurate.

It's a town of 14,000, not Detroit.

This has been my response when someone asked if I had change for a $20, oh and also it was a group of 5-6 teenage black males who witnesses later told me had concealed themselves with the purpose of ambushing me as I walked by. Just saying.

Yup, just your garden variety tiny-dicked redneck hoping that a firearm and an unnecessarily belligerent attitude will make up for his intellectual and penile shortcomings.

Winder is pronounced with a long I, setting up a local joke:

The sheriff pulls over a car with out-of-state plates and a broken tail light outside Winder. The driver, clearly annoyed, rolls down his window. "Yes, officer?"
"Son, do you know where you are?"
"Winder", the man says, pronouncing it wind-er.
"Naw," says the sheriff. "This here's a winder," tapping the glass with his nightstick. "You're in Winder, boy. Now step out of the car."

Had you bothered to check crime statistics you would have found Winder to have a significantly higher crime rate than the US average

Also, *ahem*

"An armed society is a polite society."

And here they told us an armed society was going to be a polite society.

This past week sure has proven that theory wrong, huh?

what tactic would that be? why can't he do the same w/o asking for directions?

LOL, that's both insanely funny and terrifying at the same time. I'll be over in the corner alternatively laughing my ass off and freaking out.

I like how people ask for directions without even trying to find it and inconvenience the first person they see who is minding their own business jogging with their headphones on. I'm frequently harassed by old people trying to find the emissions test place when it is right down the road with signs everywhere. Look it up ahead of time! I'm not stopping my workout to help you.

I went to High School in a town twice that size and with actual contingents of Crips and Bloods that had moved to Az from LA. We had gang-based brawls in high school, and still nobody needed to pull out a gun when someone else asked for directions in front of the friggin' Health Dept.

Gotta reach that gym in 26 minutes, huh?

the complainant told an officer with the Winder Police Department that he had asked an unknown white male for directions. The complainant said the stranger then pulled a pistol out of his holster and responded, "No I don't have directions."

ya, and had it been a black guy showing a pistol... the media would make it: "an unknown male"


race is only relevant when it is anti-white

"Pardon, sir, but do you have change for $10,000?"
"Why, yes, just a... wait, this is a trap!"

Sheeit, in Dayton, that would get you shot.

In Chicago, giving people incorrect directions is a form of recreation.

In the same way that having a state entity to license drivers makes us safe on the road.

I don't have a problem with people who feel it necessary to bring their toys every place they go. But please understand that most of us don't live in a permanent game of "cops and robbers".

Keep that useless piece of metal in your pants. Adults have shiat to do and changing your diapers every time you feel "threatened" has become tiresome.

....actually had it been a black guy we would've never know because the victim would be dead.

Asking directions there usually goes something like this...



Just Sayin

What was so special that happened in the last week?

Oh, I was referring to the guy writing his book on kindness who got shot up in Montana. He was walking along the side of the road or somesuch.

Dude just didn't want to answer any questions. That's not a crime.

Ok well maybe the whole brandishing thing. But that's a misdemeanor. So there.
