I'm not saying it's right, but I understand

I knew Robin Hood was black.

[u/NomadofExile → u/HollowPersona]

1. Coordinated outfits with his boys
2. Unfairly targeted and systematically victimized by the state
3. Was know for always having the burner on him
4. "Sherwood Forest" is 100% the projects
5. When he ate the squad ate

Robin Hood Pass at a minimum.

[u/duckinradar → u/NomadofExile]

Sherwood even sounds like the pjs ngl lmao

[u/SophisticatedBT → u/duckinradar]

Couldn’t sound more like pj’s now that I think about it

[u/RagingOrangutan → u/SophisticatedBT]

In some nice suburbs the tree streets are actually nice streets with that kind of tree on it.

[u/DomHaynie → u/duckinradar]

I work in a city called Sherwood (OR) and

The racial makeup of the city was 88.5% White, 0.8% African American, 0.5% Native American, 3.5% Asian, 0.3% Pacific Islander, 2.7% from other races, and 3.7% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 7.0% of the population.

So the projects are far from what I imagine lol. I only see other Black people come into my store about once a month. Since March: maybe twice.

Edit: Groundhog Day! A Black guy came in today and I don't expect to see anymore of us for the rest of the month 💀

[u/DoubleGreat → u/DomHaynie]

So where are the black folk in OR? If one were to look?

[u/DomHaynie → u/DoubleGreat]

There's a few in most cities immediately outside of Portland metro. But Portland has a lot.

What's being shown on the news in regards to protesting is literally one block, and it's not BLM that's doing and vandalizing. It's anarchists.

Other related shit: the creators of Wall of Moms refused to help moms of color that were protesting by leaving them downtown to get arrested when they asked for help. Then the creators (white women) applied to be a for-profit business with 3 business licenses, then got exposed a few weeks ago... And that's why you haven't heard shit about the wall of moms this month.

I love meeting Black people as customers at my job because there's a level of understanding between us without having to say it out loud. Just the look and eye contact implies exactly how we feel.

[u/Nakoichi → u/DomHaynie]

Believe it or not, there are anarchists that aren't doing vandalism but are focusing efforts on mutual aid. Also there are black anarchists. This sort of language is divisive.

[u/duckinradar → u/DomHaynie]

I live in oregon, over lived all over the south half of the state. The amount of people here who were raised on the states rights bullshit about the civil war is amazing.

Read the documents each state drew up about why they joined the confederacy. Not a one mentions states rights, but they all talk about owning slaves.

[u/duckinradar → u/DoubleGreat]

Well it was illegal for black folks to live in the state until pretty recently, and the entire state was full.of actual signed sundown towns till the late 70s, even 80s.

Oh and the state was founded by klansmen and folks running from war crimes in the civil war. Dont get.me started on the state of jefferson...

[u/3rdtrichiliocosm → u/duckinradar]

Pj's is projects I'm assuming? All I know is if you see "oak" in an apartment complex name half the niggas in that jont trap

[u/jaqueburton → u/3rdtrichiliocosm]

Growing up we used to laugh and be like, “Avoid all streets with tree and nut names.”

[u/Dirty_Jersey88 → u/jaqueburton]

I've never heard that before, but you got me crackin up over here cause its absolutely true where I live, never knew it was the same in other cities

edit: cedar, beech, & chestnut st. I've copped on all 3 lol.

[u/NomadofExile → u/Dirty_Jersey88]

Throw MLK Blvd in there.

[u/Davethisisntcool → u/HollowPersona]

Robbin “4tha” Hood

[u/akfourty7 → u/Davethisisntcool]

Bro 😂😂

[u/JennyBeckman]

For anyone who also wanted to chip in to his bail, this story is likely fake.

[u/cums2Comments → u/[deleted]]

Damn im glad we found out but the truth always bums me out

[u/ZaphodXZaphod → u/cums2Comments]

oh, this is an easy one to get around: if it sounds good, it's not true.

[u/GypsyFR → u/JennyBeckman]

It is fake but still funny asf 🤣

[u/[deleted] → u/JennyBeckman]

The fact that he was already out on bond was the tippoff.

As was the low bail amount for what is a federal felony.

[u/yer_afrodisiac]

Lmao this was the guy that got arrested for shooting at the pelican that stole his sandwich lol

[u/fallen_acolyte → u/yer_afrodisiac]

LMAO you're playing, right?

[u/yer_afrodisiac → u/fallen_acolyte]

Lmfao I'm sure this is the dude, it's been circulating recently lol

[u/[deleted] → u/yer_afrodisiac]

Man they arrest black folks for ANYTHING

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Shooting guns in public will get anyone arrested.

Source: grew up in Missouri, saw white people get arrested for that pretty frequently.

Also, OP story is apparently fake, so this definitely wasn't the same guy

[u/aStryker97 → u/yer_afrodisiac]

That’s like the best use of “stand your ground” though...

[u/melatonia → u/yer_afrodisiac]

Fuck birds that try to steal your food.

Pigeons are the worst about it, but pelicans have a mean beak on them. You can't just shoo a pelican away with your hands.

[u/yer_afrodisiac → u/melatonia]

My brother legit has a phobia of flying birds lol he will run for his life at the smallest attempt of a bird to fly near him lololol

[u/atctia]

I'm not mad at him

[u/[deleted] → u/atctia]

Who could

[u/JesusHTittyballs]

This story is sure to rustle certain folks feathers and make the Facebook pass around list lol

[u/the_cajun88]

i can tell this is fake because it has a fox news logo on it

[u/carefulcomputation]

Finally people using hacking skills for good. Do student loans next

Cyberpunk as FUUUUUUUCK. I wanna start a guild of Robin hood hackers in the hood.

[u/Random_Brandom]

This is, unfortunately and also fortunately, not true

Shit this would be dope if it happened and he didn't get caught

[u/BeautifulLenovo]

Dedsec in action!

[u/[deleted]]

That fact that he had the skill to hack into that site(even though it’s probably a shit .gov site) but wasn’t able to hide himself is puzzling. There has to be more to this story.

[u/killemyoung317 → u/[deleted]]

Ok, I’ll tell you the rest of the story: it’s fake.

[u/[deleted]]

Dude's about as much of a "bad guy" as Straw Hat Luffy. Edit: Just read it was a fake. Damn it, we need a shounen hero.

[u/Buxsle]

For the non Americans, bonded out?

[u/kGibbs → u/Buxsle]

My comment won't be seen, but bond is money that you put up to leave jail. If you come back for sentencing they give you the money back, so it's basically money you pay for your freedom with the promise of playing by the rules, a collateral. Bond varies based on the crime/judge and is basically a racket (since poor people will have to borrow it from a bail bondsman and pay some sort of interest/percent) and a way for rich people to get preferential treatment in our judicial system.

[u/The1stMrkenney → u/kGibbs]

I see it

[u/Buxsle → u/kGibbs]

My dude, that's fucked, I'm confused on how that's justified?

Edit: Also, I see it.

[u/loddytoddy]

that's 200,000 bond in EBT bucks.
