To quote Big Boi from Outkast, two things I hate liars and thieves make my blood boil
People ask me all the time why I live all the way out in Diddy Wah Diddy, AKA Medina Ohio AKA The Sticks. Is a town of 92% white people (at least)
Why do you live all the way out there?
My apartment was robbed in 2006 when I was deployed. My brother was staying there and they stole my Xbox, my brothers PlayStation 2, all of my porn DVDs
I had a 60 inch rear projection dinosaur of a TV that look like a fucking brontosaurus so they couldn't take that. They also couldn't take my DVD player because the Neilsen TV ratings had hardwire connected it and they couldn't disconnect it.
The thieves left a crowbar in the middle of the floor as I guess they ran out because they were surprised or got scared or something
When my brother got back to the house he called the police and it took them 7 hours to get there. And the crowbar, they left it in the middle of the floor and didn't even take it for evidence
Now I've watched CSI since it came on in 2000, so I know about fingerprints. All they had to do was take the crowbar, dust it for fingerprints and find "Antoine Jenkins" and "JaKorey Scott's" fingerprints all over it
"Antoine Jenkins" grandmother lives around the corner. They could have found him no problem. But that was too difficult or too expensive for the cops to do, even though there were a rash a break-ins in the area of which they were likely the culprits
They could have solved the crimes, but they were too cheap or too lazy - typical cops.
As soon as I got back from deployment I moved from that apartment on the border of East Cleveland and Cleveland Heights on Coventry to an apartment building in Willoughby Hills (East of Cleveland) and three years later found this house out here in Medina for $160,000
I've been out here for twelve years, and even though I got divorced in 2012, I still maintain this place very well on just my salary. Since then my property values doubled.
This is the difference: in November of 2010 I went to bed at 2 a.m. and at 2:20 my alarm went off
'GARAGE DOOR. GARAGE DOOR'
Some bored teenagets attempted to break in my exterior garage door into my garage. The alarm sounded, Vivint called me at 2:20 and at 2:25 they said the police were in my driveway
The police were in my driveway in 5 minutes.
I know a large percentage of white people are racist. I know a large percentage of white people hate the fact that I'm out here but I don't give a fuck.
I feel safe.
The city dies after 10 p.m. and it's quiet as a church mouse. I often go for walks in between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. just so I can take advantage of the peace and quiet and absolutely no people I see at that hour
Now, I've got that heater in case someone breaks in.
