📝ENG Translation: The band Joker Out has gotten used to London
Tumblr media
Article published today, 13.3.2024, by Primorske Novice, available here.
The guys from Joker Out have been living in London, where they've been working on new songs, for almost two months now. The first one of them, 'Everybody's Waiting', has just recently been released to the public "Our routine is quite music-oriented", the Jokers, who live in a shared house, told us.
LONDON > "We found a lovely house in a nice area of London. It's very comfortable, not the most spacious, but it gives us a closeness we've never had before," said the musicians, who go to bed around 3am, which is why they wake up late, and then slowly get ready for the day. Then, after lunch and coffee, they head to the rehearsal space.
Vrhnika bolognese by Jan Peteh
"Janči is the main cook in our house. Since we've been in London, he's fallen under the influence of Jamie Oliver, but otherwise we rotate a few recipes, our favourite being the Vrhnika bolognese, which is a risotto with minced meat that we highly recommend," told us the boys, who also love rice cooked with milk¹ and popcorn - but not together of course! A bigger challenge than the house was finding a place to rehearse.
¹ T./N.: 'mlečni riž' = a simple dish made by cooking rice with milk instead of with water. Usually a bit of butter is added for better taste. It can be additionally sweetened with some sugar and other additions, like cocoa or chocolate powder.
"Our main requirement was to find a place where we could rehearse 24 hours a day, every day of the week, which is more challenging in London than we imagined. Obviously bands here rent spaces by the hour, not like we do in Slovenia, where we have a permanent space. Neighbours are also usually a big problem in London, because it's a metropolis.Then, luckily, we found a place where we can rehearse in the middle of the night, but it's more of a garage setting, so it's reminiscent of the early days of our band life."
Camden is their favourite
After rehearsals, the boys usually head home, but sometimes they go out to explore the city and London's musical scene a bit. "Out of everyone we've met, the musicians were actually in the minority, but on the other hand we've made friends with some really great people, including a photographer who has become our friend. We've also already found out that Camden is an area of London where practically everyone is involved in music, which is why it's now our favourite part of the town," said our Jokers, who set off on their European tour last week.

Happy ever after, please stay for a while
Pairing: Simon “Ghost ” Riley x f!Reader ( OC aka Mini MacTavish )
Summary : interlude to "Love, do not pass me by" . Mini and Emma moving into the new place. Johnny is the best big brother you can have.
Warning: Mature theme , pregnancy. London/UK landmarks described in this fic are just made up by me for plot purposes. English isn’t my first language so expect a lot of mistakes with tenses. Not beta'ed.
A/N : Kind of Continuation/parallel universe of @saltofmercury ’s ““The Favorite MacTavish” , where the reader/OC is Soap’s little sister. PLEASE GO READ HER STORY first to make sense of this story. Thank you for lending me your character!  “masterlist” for more stories to this Mini MacTavish expanded verse.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
" Congratulations.. Mrs...?"
"Just Miss. " " Congratulations Miss MacTavish. Now... Let see... Ah. I can see the baby moving around quite a bit here. " She paused. " Would you like to know the gender of the baby? " " Why not. "
" Let me move around a little bit there... hold still little bub.. Ah there we go, looks like you are having a boy!... OH." " What is it? is there something wrong? " " I can just see another leg around the other side... Miss MacTavish, I think you will need to buy extra set of baby gears. You are carrying twins".
Tumblr media
After the..unpleasant announcement, you decided you will forget all about Simon, move on with your life, and bring the babies up yourself. You got support. Your family, your friend Emma, you have a career. In the short time Johnny was staying with you, together with Emma, the three of you started to pack up the flat. You need to find a new place to move into before the little treasures comes into the world. Your current place is just a little two bedroom flat with a small living room and kitchen area, which is just not enough space for extra two babies. You are pretty sure the neighbours wouldn't be appreciating sound of screaming babies day and night. Soap surprised you one day when he hurried both you and Emma into the car, drove you out towards the suburb, not too far away from your current flat. Pulling up in front of a detached house with " Sold " sign, you look at him with confusion. "What are we doing here Johnny?"
" To look at the house." " With a sold sign on it? I thought we are looking for rentals." He smiled, said nothing. Jingling a key, he help you out of the car and head towards the house. It's a beautiful cottage which been looked after. Nice front yard area with a garage/workshop on the side. Emma whistled in awe as she walk through the front door. "Well, this is certainly a nice place, how many bedrooms?"
" Five." " Bit excessive isn't it?? We only need maximum of three, plus how are we going to afford the rent payment? Must cost a bit with the size of it." Johnny dropped the key in your hand. " You and Emma going to move in here. I bought the house. There should be enough space for you two to stay." Two of you just stared at him with wide eyes. HE BOUGHT THIS HOUSE FOR YOU?
" Wait.. what... Did you just say you bought the house? I can't accept this Johnny, Wh.." " You got TWO babies coming soon Mini, I want my niece and nephew have a good environment to grow up in. Plus, It's time for me to set up a base here in London, SAS and SpecGru pays me well enough." You threw yourself onto Johnny and cried. Those damn hormones again. How lucky are you to have a big brother that look out for you, beyond what he needs to do.
He insisted the two of you don't need to pay any rent, just take care of the utility bills will be enough.
" Think of it as being caretakers of my house." he winked at Emma, and dropped into more serious tone. " Also as thank you for taking care of my sister. You been a loyal friend to her."
You look around the nursery. Most of the things are in place now, waiting for the second cot to be delivered. Johnny helped you to assemble most of the stuff before he left for another mission few weeks ago. All you and Emma need to do is slowly unpack rest of the smaller stuff that is still in the boxes. Your mother is also planning to come down a week before your due date. Everything is going smoothly. Standing up, you felt a bit of pain on your upper side of belly. Rubbing it slightly you murmur to the babies to tell them to behave. Taking a step forward, you felt the room starting to spin and vision going blurry.
Last thing you heard before you faint was Emma screaming your name.
Tumblr media
Johnny is the best big bro you can ask for.

cruisequarries PART TWO
PART ONE What did we get up to yesterday? 2018? Okay. I will put everything behind a spoiler cut again (there are more pictures/a video today).
Actually, let's rewind just a little, for some Fallout premiere pictures just because.
Paris, July 12th:
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
London, July 13th:
Tumblr media
Seoul, July 16th (according to the designer's website, the hanbok Heather is wearing was designed as a wedding dress, mmhmm)...
Tumblr media
I love this picture because they're making those faces at Chris. Here's the bit of Tom making Heather cry in Tokyo:
I highly recommend listening to Tom & Chris commentary track on Fallout, which starts with McQ introducing himself as the writer/director and then Tom introducing himself - as McQ's friend. After the Fallout press tour wraps up, work starts in earnest on Top Gun: Maverick, which Tom and McQ have been discussing - idly, on McQ's part - for years now. "Our relationship is one long conversation about movies," indeed.
Tumblr media
While TGM is filming, pre-production is also happening on MI:DR, which McQ has signed on to direct. (These two are usually juggling at least two projects at a time, and really it's probably more like five projects at a time.)
In January of 2019, they're all back in LA so Tom and McQ can pick up some awards.
Tumblr media
The McQuarries also go to a premiere and look fantastic (I love McQ's suit):
Tumblr media
Tom and McQ go to Ukraine to scout Dead Reckoning locations later in 2019, meet President Zelenskyy, and McQ gets to put his arm around Tom for once instead of their usual other way around.
Tumblr media
OH NO I ALMOST FORGOT - at the end of 2019, Tom took the whole McQ clan with him to Las Vegas to see Lady Gaga and ask her to write the TGM song. [cries in 'that's his family']
Tumblr media
Production ramps up on DR - and then unfortunately, as we all know, COVID. Most of the cast and crew were in Venice when everything shut down, but Tom hadn't arrived yet.
Production resumes in Rome in October (their production struggles/trying to keep everyone employed/Tom rightfully yelling at people to follow protocols because a lot of jobs depend on them is all well documented), and then moves to Venice. Heather and the dogs are also part of this traveling band.
Tumblr media
This isn't six feet apart, dudes...
Tumblr media
Production breaks for the holidays, and resumes in Abi Dhabi for the airport/desert sequences, and also one of my favorite pictures of Tom and Heather, just for her expression.
Tumblr media
Train sequence filming in Yorkshire in April of 2021, that's Heather in the blue coat:
Tumblr media
DR production then breaks for a bit over the summer so Tom can take all his friends to Wimbledon, go to several car things, and make McQ watch football (the soccer version).
Tumblr media
DR filming resumes in the fall/winter. Heather goes with to South Africa and they rent out what is basically an adults-only hotel (and save it from having to close!), for part of their stay. I love this picture because Gypsy looks so long-suffering:
Tumblr media
OKAY IT'S 2022 NOW, time for the Top Gun: Maverick premiere tour to start - finally! (Do any of these people SLEEP? No. I think it's well-documented that Tom Cruise does not sleep, which is part of what makes him Tom Cruise, but also this means he calls McQ at two in the morning to talk about movies. There's a podcast somewhere where McQ says he thinks Tom might sleep "between the 2:05 email and the 2:40 email", or something along those lines.) (After getting back from South Africa, there was a bunch of test screening stuff for TGM, which is why there are those parking garage pictures. Wouldn't the movie be done, you'd think, since it was supposed to be out in 2020? COVID gave them a reason to tinker with it even more.) The San Diego premiere on the USS MIdway (all the McQs were there, but there aren't any good pictures):
Tumblr media
Then Tom went to Mexico, and McQ went home to London for a few days before Tom returned, and they went to the Royal Windsor horse show together.
Tumblr media
THEN EVERYONE WENT TO CANNES. Sorry I have just a shitty screencap with a watermark here but alas tumblr only lets you put one video per post. Tom and McQ stopped to get their picture taken en route to the actual photocall and Tom made Heather come back and be in the pictures with them. There is video here.
Tumblr media
Cannes, of course, was amazing. I have garbage homemade gifs but they're too big for tumblr (also they're garbage) but all the Cannes red carpet footage is available on YouTube, here and here. (Worth it for Heather, tbh.)
Tumblr media
They went straight from Cannes - on Tom's helicopter - back to London for the Royal premiere. Where the McQuarries looked amazing and McQ wore his McQ shoes.
Tumblr media
And the after party, because heaven forbid they not all ride in the same car:
Tumblr media
And then the McQuarries got a slight break, while Tom went to do more TGM press. But he was back in London by the end of June, and they went on what can only be described as a string of dates. First, they went to the Rolling Stones concert at Hyde Park.
Tumblr media
McQ was on Tom's other side, but he's only visible in video (the Daily Mail might be garbage but they do come through with the media).
Then Tom and Heather went to The Eagles show at Hyde Park:
Tumblr media
And they all went to see Adele - also at Hyde Park. (The woman in the pink sweater is Tom's CAA agent Maha Dakhil Jackson - I found the picture where you can see Heather over Tom's shoulder.)
Tumblr media
Then for Tom's birthday, they went to the F1 British Grand Prix (with some other TGM folks, but they aren't three steps behind Tom like the McQuarries are).
Tumblr media
Oh no, we're not done. Tom takes Heather to Wimbledon, where she holds his sunglasses (not visible in this picture).
Tumblr media
McQ did not go with, as he was recording a Light the Fuse podcast - which he surprise-dialled in a bunch of DR folks - and his final surprise was Tom. Who was still at Wimbledon with Heather. McQ calls Heather to get Tom, and Heather plays dumb and is like, "oh I don't know where he is, did you try calling him?" and Chris says he already told the podcast guys that they were together. So Tom does his segment from the car he's in with Heather, and his part is only supposed to be like ten minutes but he talks for about forty-five and this includes telling the world they basically all live together. Then they went out to dinner!
Tumblr media
And the next day they all went to Wimbledon with Maha and her husband.
Tumblr media
I'm stopping here because this is already SO LONG and 2023 is going to be wild just by itself! PART THREE

Happy Birthday to the bubbly bonnie Ashley Jensen born in Annan on August 11th 1969.
Raised single handedly by her mother Margaret, Ashley knew from an early age she wanted to be an actress. She grew up glued to British sitcoms, especially Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em with Michael Crawford as Frank Spencer. And after her mum saved up for her to attend the National Youth Theatre in London, the 16-year-old returned home determined to pursue a career on the stage.
Ashley went on to study drama at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh before fulfilling her dream by landing roles treading the boards in London. From theatre she moved into TV, ealy roles included wee parts in City Lights and Rab C Nesbit , and a 1991 film called Tickets for the Zoo, which was set in my hometown Edinburgh, she the started racking up credits in popular dramas such as The Bill, Casualty, Clocking Off and EastEnders. Other Scottsih roles were in Taggart and Rebus.
It was her part as Ricky Gervais’ hapless sidekick in the popular Extras that was to be Ashley’s breakthrough role, though. As well as making her a household name in Britain it also gave her the opportunity to appear alongside Hollywood heavyweights such as Kate Winslet, Samuel L Jackson and Orlando Bloom, all of whom made guest appearances. The part also brought official recognition when she was named both best actress and best newcomer at the 2005 British Comedy awards - accolades which she celebrated in typical low-key fashion with a cod sandwich from a roadside chip van.
Ashley saw fame in the US follow playing the straight-talking Christina in the sitcom Ugly Betty, leading her to relocate to LA and renting a house in the Hollywood Hills. While the role was originally meant to be American, the casting agents fell in love with her Scottish accent and it stayed.
Ashley may be a star in the US now but her feet are firmly on the ground I found this quote from her “Even now I think I might never work again. I’m still a bit like that. I probably always will be, “This from one of her best friends who has a chippy in Annan speaks volumes "She has her head screwed on and won’t be changed by the star treatment.” Recalling a visit to her LA home soon after Ashley relocated, he says: “We were holding hands and jumping up and down. She was shouting, 'Can you believe it? What am I doing here?’.” Ashley’s acting career has seen in her in many shows, my faves include, Catastrophe with fellow Scot Mark Bonnar, Trust Me, with Jodie Whittaker, which was set in Edinburgh, and again with Ricky Gervais in Afterlife, as well as the comedy drama Agatha Raisin, where she plays the title role, a cotswolds-based PR guru turned amateur sleuth.
Tragedy struck for Ashley in 2017 when she discovered her husband, Terence Beesley body at the wheel of his car in the garage at their Somerset home. The couple, who met in 1999 while they were both involved in a London theatre production of King Lear, were married for ten years. A verdict of suicide was later ruled on at the coroners court.
As well as her work as an actress Ashley has narrated a couple of shows recently, Inside The Balmoral: Scotland's Finest Hotel, about the hotel that takes pride of place at number I Princes Street and The Airport: Back in the Skies about London Heathrow.
Ashley was last on our screens in the fantastic two part drama Mayflies, I am looking forward to seeing how she is in the new series of Shetland, taking over as the lead role after Dougie Henshall left.

i loved the headcanons!! perhaps you have anymore emo Marcus headcanons?🖤💀
Of course! Punk/Alt Marcus lives absolutely rent free in my brain. Hope you enjoy! -<3 Gooseless
-----------------------------------
Marcus started getting into punk and alt stuff by skateboarding when he was in around year 7 to year 8, mainly to piss off his parents.
He consistently dyed his hair different colors, typically red and purple.
Due to his participation in numerous, numerous protests (pretty much every single one in the city), Marcus was arrested a fair bit in secondary school and university for disturbing the peace.
Marcus pierced his own ears when he was 12 and gave himself his first tattoo when he was 17.
His playlist is still made up of older British punk bands (and yes, that is the only thing allowed to play in the garage besides Johnny's music).
He thought about learning the drums but kept forgetting to actually commit to learning so he didn't.
Marcus still has a ton of mixtapes that his late wife gave him as gifts when they were dating.
The leather jacket Johnny wears was Marcus's old jacket that he wore under his battle vest a lot (Johnny now occasionally wears his own vest over it and Marcus is so proud).
He was in an unofficial boxing club in Uni which was wear he learned to box for the first time and quickly became one of the best boxers there.
Marcus still wears very subtle black eyeliner some days, especially after Johnny started wearing makeup and consistently has his nails painted, claiming it's to hide grease stains from customers (no one believes him, especially since he'll change it from the usual black to teal whenever Johnny's performing).
When he was wearing boots (and still does this to this day), Marcus wears yellow and purple shoe laces, with the purple being in support of Johnny and his late wife.
If you google certain protests in the 80s and 90s in London, there's a good chance you will see Marcus in those photos.
He chose to start going by Marcus in year 9 because he thought it sounded cooler than his legal name and eventually got it changed when he was older.

I’m 100% sure they have lots of property we don’t know about. Harry has many vintage cars in LA, yes he could rent out a garage or warehouse, but having a home base seems more likely, since they have to be there quite often for work anyway. I’ve also always thought that apart from London and LA, they also have a place close to home, like in Doncaster/Holmes Chapel, or even somewhere in between like Sheffield or Manchester.
Yeah, agreed. I’m sure they have numerous properties. Some we know about, some we don’t. I try not to focus on any of the ones that aren’t widely known because HL deserve their privacy and fans can be so invasive.

Javier, Germ, and Nardo have been best friends since high school when they started their band. Corporate Kleptos played all the backyard punk gigs and swore to each other that they wouldn't quit. They have their eyes set on making it big time.

Nardo is actually crashing at Javier and London's place for a few days. He says he just needs to dodge his landlord for a bit until he can make rent. They have a show coming up this weekend so he should be good after that.

The way Taylor never went out with Toe this much in London for the 6 years of her living there. It's giving Taylor the petty queen we love. 😄
Toe and his team, I'm gathering, got on Taylor's bad side. Not good. Karma is a relaxing thought for Tay... he should know.
Who is next on the NYC friend dinner date? 🤔
Martha? Gigi? Antoni? Selena? This is fun. 😁
Supposedly living in London, if you ask me. I sure as hell don’t believe it for a second.
But publicly, yes, that was the narrative. Even though there was zero proof like there is with NYC.
Like, for me, it’s the fact that she spent like $50 million in renovations to convert one of her Tribeca units into a garage for privacy… in *2018* yet there’s no proof she’s even done anything other than rent in London. Tabloids claiming they were buying houses don’t count for me.

Water, water everywhere... or not.
I'm feeling a bit like a (rich) 16th century Londoner, timing my water use. The kitchen tap is broken -- it won't stop running and fiddling the valves under the sink has no effect. The only way to stop a steady stream is to shut off *all* the house water. Time to wash the dishes... step outside and turn the valve. Fill up the kettle, use the restrooms -- the water is on. All done... step outside and turn the valve. Bath time... put on shoes, step outside, turn the value... But it's still luxurious. I can turn the valve whenever I want. I don't have to wait until my next water day.
When's it going to be fixed? No idea. I reported it Thursday night on the property management website. I phoned the next day and they "called a technician". I bugged them that afternoon -- "tell us if you don't hear from the technician in 24 hours". ding. Saturday, 24 hours and a few minutes later , I called and left them a message. It's now Sunday afternoon. This is not the first time this company has been slow with repairs.
The icing on the cake is that when we using the big garage door to get to the valve, the door got stuck and then the opener belt snapped. *BANG* as the door dropped to the ground. It's a good thing we don't park the cars inside. I filed another ticket. We've rented this 1950s house for 15 years so occasional repairs are to be expected.

Social housing residents on a London estate feel they are being “gagged” in discussions about the future of the place where they live, as the council prepares one of the capital’s controversial “infill” plans, which cover green spaces with homes.
Residents on the Dodson and Amigo estate in Elephant and Castle say they have been asked to sign documents promising not to speak to other residents or journalists, in exchange for taking part in meetings about new homes planned for their estates.
They showed the Guardian a document that also warned they could not campaign against the new homes if they were part of the discussions.
The council, however, argues that the documents only mean residents need permission to speak, in order to keep the discussions fair and civil.
The row is one of many heated debates on council estates across London over “infill housing” – where councils build new homes on existing estates.
The housing crisis in London is acute. About 8% of households are overcrowded, with 35% of children in social housing living in overcrowded conditions.
Southwark alone has more than 16,000 people on its social housing waiting list and aims to build 11,000 homes for social rent by 2043. The picture is similar in every borough, with thousands of families and individuals desperate to find safe and affordable places to live.
Meanwhile councils lose housing every year under right to buy policies, putting them in an impossible position. Private developers are failing to build enough social or affordable homes even when building on large sites once owned by councils.
Building on land they already own is a vital solution for councils looking for space for new homes. To this end officers have scoured estates looking for “unused” patches of land, old garages, car parks – and, to the distress of residents – green spaces, play areas and communal gardens.
This “infill” housing has been heralded as a tool in getting families out of bed and breakfasts and into safe homes.
The women, families and community leaders in some of the poorest parts of the capital who resist it have sometimes been labelled Nimbys.
But those living in flats without gardens in dense and polluted corners of London say it is wrong to take precious communal green spaces away.

Happy Birthday to the bubbly  bonnie Ashley Jensen born in Annan on August 11th 1969.
Raised single handedly by her mother Margaret, Ashley knew from an early age she wanted to be an actress. She grew up glued to British sitcoms, especially Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em with Michael Crawford as Frank Spencer. And after her mum saved up for her to attend the National Youth Theatre in London, the 16-year-old returned home determined to pursue a career on the stage.
Ashley went on to study drama at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh before fulfilling her dream by landing roles treading the boards in London. From theatre she moved into TV,  ealy roles included wee parts in City Lights and Rab C Nesbit , and a 1991 film called  Tickets for the Zoo, which was set in my hometown Edinburgh, she the started racking up credits in popular dramas such as The Bill, Casualty, Clocking Off and EastEnders. Other Scottsih roles were in Taggart and Rebus. 
It was her part as Ricky Gervais’ hapless sidekick in the popular Extras that was to be Ashley’s breakthrough role, though. As well as making her a household name in Britain it also gave her the opportunity to appear alongside Hollywood heavyweights such as Kate Winslet, Samuel L Jackson and Orlando Bloom, all of whom made guest appearances. The part also brought official recognition when she was named both best actress and best newcomer at the 2005 British Comedy awards - accolades which she celebrated in typical low-key fashion with a cod sandwich from a roadside chip van.
Ashley saw fame in the US follow playing the straight-talking Christina in the sitcom Ugly Betty, leading her to relocate to LA and renting a house in the Hollywood Hills. While the role was originally meant to be American, the casting agents fell in love with her Scottish accent and it stayed.
Ashley may be a star in the US now but her feet are firmly on the ground I found this quote from her “Even now I think I might never work again. I’m still a bit like that. I probably always will be, “This from one of her best friends who has a chippy in Annan speaks volumes  "She has her head screwed on and won’t be changed by the star treatment.” Recalling a visit to her LA home soon after Ashley relocated, he says: “We were holding hands and jumping up and down. She was shouting, 'Can you believe it? What am I doing here?’.”  Ashley’s acting career has seen in her in many shows, my faves include, Catastrophe with fellow Scot  Mark Bonnar, Trust Me, with Jodie Whittaker, which was set in Edinburgh, and again with  Ricky Gervais in Afterlife, as well as the comedy drama  Agatha Raisin, where she plays the title role, a cotswolds-based PR guru turned amateur sleuth.
Tragedy struck for Ashley in 2017 when she discovered her husband,  Terence Beesley body at the wheel of his car in the garage at their Somerset home. The couple, who met in 1999 while they were both involved in a London theatre production of King Lear, were married for ten years. A verdict of suicide was later ruled on at the coroners court.
As well as her work as an actress Ashley has narrated a couple of shows recently,  Inside The Balmoral: Scotland's Finest Hotel, about the hotel that takes pride of place at number I Princes Street and  The Airport: Back in the Skies about London Heathrow.

So again, Oklahoma City bombing, how did he have a license to get the Van? Or was it a small truck to put the fertilizer in to blow up? And then all the car bombings. They got a license to get the car and then let's see the terrorist in London. They got a license to get the car to run over people. So how are these people allowed to have vehicles? .. If the people selling the cars can't do what we do in financial services, making sure that the people are not criminals and drilling down.Then we need to take away all the cars and just go to public transportation bicycles and walking... So I don't know how the ship bags that I see driving around even have a f****** car.I mean, it's ridiculous.All these people, killing people with cars and blowing things up like oh yeah, the world trade center, they rent it.What avan and blew up in the parking garage... So if people selling cars don't have high criteria for who's buying their fucking vehicles then we need to get rid of all car manufacturing... Either the auto industry is into solving the fucking problem of people using their vehicles as weapons of terror are we get rid of the industry but something has to get...
Like Saudi Arabia, originally they ban women from driving. So women should understand this. They were banned from driving and they were least likely to do the terrorist act. So Hey, getting the bad guys out of driving. Because now all the women are buying cars. Losing the scumbags, it's a good thing like scumbag. You make me use a horn burn in hell.
We need to start taking away the privilege and never give it back...
Do you know I can give you from prostitution to buying drugs?They put a lot of white people in jail that went into minority neighborhoods.They profiled them.They saw a white guy in the minority neighborhood.They pulled them over and they busted them for either buying drugs or lets see prostituition... No a black guy got profile as well.Eddie Murphy, how do you think they pulled him over?He was in a neighborhood known for known prostitutes, and he was driving around in a luxury car and they're like.Why is this luxury car in this neighborhood?That is known for prostitution... So the cops Hold over the car Because they were profiling....
So I can give you all these times like me at the airport.I paid cash for a ticket.They said I met a profile and they walk me to the game and stood with me... I don't get minorities White people to be profiled all the time.But when you do it's a bad thing fuck you....

So i'm wondering how these people are able to get these vehicles to perpetrate these crimes.... Isn't U-haul and writer truck in all these rental operations? Making sure they're doing their due diligence. And car dealers are making sure they're doing their diligence before. They sell a car or rent a car to individuals. And isn't the department of motor vehicles supposed to be doing their job and screening people highly related to being able to drive a car...
So why are all these excriminals able to purchase vehicles?????
The boys in the hood the drive by shootings they're getting vehicle....
How are all these bad people Vehicles to commit all these crimes.....
