Pffft, only when they're on the road. The home games are blacked out.

And that's why there's Sunday Ticket.

No one want to go to Michigan, so you can stop pimpin' it Psyblast.

And I think safety is relative to fear. If you're not scared, you'll feel safe.

Gotta love the "Chicken Little mentality" that takes over most people's mindsets anytime something bad happens.

I agree, I lived in a bad neighborhood when I was growing up, but I didn't really fear it and I was out all the time. I felt very safe in that neighborhood even though there were quite a few robberies and at least one shooting(that I heard of). But, that probably had to do with it never having a direct effect on me.

Sometimes with work I have to go into bad neighborhoods. The trick with people is that if you don't let them know you think it's a bad neighborhood they will leave you alone. Never let them see the fear in your eyes if you will.

I may not feel exactly safe, but I never let them know it. I just do my job and move on.

What a terrible world that we have to look over our shoulders no matter where we go

Re: Wow. Just...wow.

The positive from this story is that the idiots killed themselves and no innocent people were hurt. Good riddance. Anyone ignorant enough to bring a gun into a Toys R Us,then decide to use it doesn't need to be part of the human race any longer. I feel bad for any kids that saw this madness.

As far as the Wal-Mart killing,they should have video tape of the greedy selfish waste of life trampling this poor man to death. They should all be charged with murder. The video tape of the medics trying to save this man is sad. The ignorant a$$ that makes the stupid comments about mouth to mouth pisses me off.

Other workers were trampled as they tried to rescue the man, and customers stepped over him and became irate when officials said the store was closing because of the death, police and witnesses said.

"When they were saying they had to leave, that an employee got killed, people were yelling `I've been on line since yesterday morning,'" she said. "They kept shopping."

Our society is lost in a materialistic haze.

Re: Wow. Just...wow.

I thought these losers were little kids...i was wrong.

The two people shot and killed inside a crowded Toys "R" Us store in Palm Desert on the busiest shopping day of the year were identified late Friday.

Alejandro Moreno, 39, of Desert Hot Springs, and Juan Meza, 28, of Cathedral City, were killed around 11:30 a.m. at the store near Fred Waring Drive and Highway 111, which was jammed with parents and children buying Christmas gifts, said Dennis Gutierrez of the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.

Grown men packing heat to go to a toy store. smh

An eyewitness said she saw two men shoot each other as shoppers and their children jammed the store seeking "Black Friday" bargains.

The Desert Hot Springs woman, who gave her name only as Joan, said she was about 6 feet away from the shooting when it occurred.

"The blonde lady came over and started pummeling the other, Hispanic lady," Joan told City News Service.

"That's when the guy took out the weapon," she said.

According to the witness, the man accompanying the blonde was the first to pull a gun, and then the man with the other woman pulled out a gun as well.

Joan said she quickly ran, then ducked down to avoid getting hurt.

"It wasn't my time to die," Joan said.

Smart woman.

RE: bad neighborhoods, about 12-15 yrs ago I went to Miami and spent a night or so in Little Havana. You can tell it was a pretty run down and tough neighborhood but for some reason I didn't feel threatened at all and the people my father and I interacted didn't seem all that bad. I even grew up in a suburb of Toronto that was known as a bit of a ghettoized area and didn't feel threatened.

Today though, it seems the influence of bad areas has stretched into quieter areas and the kind of violence may not be worse in some case but it's a lot more frequent which makes it seems even worse then it is.

I also believe that people have become much more crass and uncaring in the last few years.
