Yes, that's exactly what I wrote.

Wait ... no, it isn't. It's nowhere remotely close to what I wrote.

Yes, that's exactly what you wrote and meant....see, I can play this game too.    Clearly you meant that....if you're going to go half cocked on people and tell them what they are thinking inside their head, well we can do.  It's exactly what you said, exactly what you meant.

so they closed the store early on Friday when Henson was just arriving after having confirmed via phone that they carried Rolex and would still be open when he got there?

No.  It doesn't seem that it was Henson at all last week.  I think that would have come out by now.

I was sort of joking when I posted that but after reading the link to the 911 calls it turns out that is exactly what happened. Henson must think poorly of their actions on both days. I would also blame the WFB cops that ran the plate on that Friday, why didn't they talk to Henson then?

If a gold Rolex is 10Gs in Washin'ton, send me 5 of them. I'll pm my AmEx info, hey? Feel free to get one, on me too, for your trouble, Crash.

Folks gave me a stainless steel Rolex when I got my wings. But when it came to actual war fightin' I always took my Timex Iron Man. That damn thing went through 4 A Stans and 2 Iraqs and is still tickin'. Got it at the Hurlburt BX for about $50.

Send me Henson's contacts and I'll hook that young man up with a quality timepiece that will see him through many an NBA campaign.

you know the saying- it takes a beating and keeps on clicking-fortunately, like a few other things i can think of-heyna?

The weird thing to me on the tape, and this is probably just me, was when they said to come to the front of the store she replied "why? I don't feel like it. Why should I have to come to the front?" If I were the cop I'd have responded with "ok b****. if you want to be rude, then handle your own business."

I mean, here we were having a discussion of racial profiling, and you think the real victims here are the white people who don't know whether they should be saying "black" or "African-American" and, why oh why, can't we go back to simpler time if your beloved 1950s when you could just call them "coloreds."

Ironic, since the beginning part of your post you get all bent because you didn't say something and then by the end of your post you do EXACTLY what you complained about.  Since I've never used that term or advocated for it.  Because I listen to my elders about a simpler time where you could leave the front door unlocked, people were civil toward one another, so on and so forth...that means I want EVERYTHING to be like the 1950's?  Nor am I saying the shop owners were the victims here, again the irony in your statement.  However, just because I don't knee jerk to say it is a racial bias incident that's how you categorize it. 

You're better than that, especially your 1950's comment.  I'll leave it at that.  Have a good one.

that's it!  don't know why i was thinking beating when it obviously didn't rhyme with ticking, but i knew it went something like that-bottom line, they are damn good sundials

TV shows...sitcoms, but the people that actually lived during the 1950's like my parents, god parents, grand parents, aunts, uncles, etc....they aren't a TV show.

Some historians have called the 1950's the greatest decade to live in America....also not a TV show.

To each their own.  Clearly you don't agree, so much so that you take the worst of that era and assign it to people that are focusing on the BEST of that era.  Pakuniesque

Crime lower  (murder rate below 4 per 100,000). 
Economy booming
Massive leap out of poverty
Unemployment less than 3%
Spending power...a blue collar worker could support his whole family on his job alone and live a great life
Freedom of movement, to own your own house, get out of the city
Optimism was off the charts....the highest recorded in the last 70 years.  Reagan's second half was the only comparable moment and that was a distant second
Etc, etc

Unfortunately, once the economy became "global" most of the jobs that helped spur most of the above list disappeared.

Part of it, but let's not forget cradle to grave promises and services as well.  Isn't it amazing that in the 1950's with optimism through the roof, arguably the greatest decade to live in the US, people also knew that gov't wasn't there to bail them out, we didn't have massive social programs (some, but not to the extent today), people were largely self sufficient.

Today, we start crying if we can't get 3 bars on our phone and the ice maker isn't cranking out the cubes properly...if we can't get our gov't phone, and pay for our birth control....etc, etc. 

It's a different world, for sure.
