Underhill to washington ave. It appears that victims are being followed after getting off the train.

I didn't know it was law to have the lights on. What is teh law exactly? For row hoses? single family, detached also?

I live in Ditmas Park, near the large victorian houses, and a lot dont have theirs on at night. I guess its only for homes that sit a certain distance to the sidewalk?

Anyone "shed some light" for me please?

I have attached the thread. There have been recent attempted muggins in Crown Heights just a few streets away from the muggings in Prospect Heights. Same description - possible teenagers 3 to 4 persons involved.

The above is a link to an on-line test measuring unconscious racism. Essentially, it measures your split-second associations. Take it and find out your own score. The vast majority of people show "a strong preference for white" - the reasons for this are too long to list. However, when speaking about "racism" we should be careful to distinguish and make clear what we are saying. Is racism the same as bigotry? What are the connections between subconscious racism and the way humans consciously act toward different races? Let's keep these thing in mind. And stop nit-picking.

Subject: another one

So i was looking for bars in the area and came across this site somehow....good thing, here's why, I was almost mugged by 2 young black males. they were around HS age(15-17). Two of them attempted to take my wallet while the third was across the street on his bike. This happened on a sunday afternoon around 4. One kid was about 5.9 and had a black beanie on, sponge bob square pants pajama bottoms on and had silver framed glasses. i can't remember what the other one was wearing. This happened at the end of Oct begin of Nov on classon btw prospect and park. I can't believe this happened to other people in the area, or should i say so many. Just thought i would share the story.
