Every major city has crime. Not sure why it's extra special that some store in Chiraq got robbed - unless maybe the point was to highlight that no one got shot ? :?


The thieves should be shot. Just have the National Guard set up machine guns and shoot them dead.


Police and vigilantes have been shooting thieves dead in the USA for a couple hundred years. It hasn't exactly solved the crime problem. Why would more of the same result in anything different?

If that fur hag strutted down the street in Melbourne she would certainly cop it, people would be telling her what they thought of her.


I don't understand why. Most people wear faux fur these days to be PC, and I found hats that looked just like the one she was wearing for about $20 US. Saw several really nice looking fur coats for under $100 US.

People don't wear real fur anymore. It's nearly all very good synthetics.

And the woman's fur hat ... OK, that is just funny to look at. That was in style in, hm, in maybe the 1960's?

I don’t exactly consider Amazon to be a reliable source for what is in fashion. Of course, sometimes people want what they want and don’t care about fashion.

Agreed. But it seems like there's old fashioned thinking going on that fur = aristocrat. Maybe as late as the 90s. But these days realistic fur is quite inexpensive.

If you wear a top hat today odds are most will think you are really into Steampunk or some other fandom.
