Good friend of mine is from there, have spent some time in town. Steven Colbert lives there.

Amazing combination of tremendous wealth and working class, economic and racial diversity. Very interesting indeed.

Also, a bunch of wealthy African-Americans live there. Apparently, Yogi Berra was one of the few white people in his neighborhood. (That might be an exaggeration.)

I've just been a couple times for track meets. Nice town. Good view of the NYC skyline from Montclair. Or good view of the Montclair skyline from NYC. I don't recall which.

even my mom growing up, i remember she embarrassingly told the neighbors across the street to not park in front of our house because it is our spot or whatever.

suburbs are just full of doofuses.

She is a doofus, sure. It's always hard to understand the many ways that manifests, just from one video. Her comments about bringing a gun into their property... are suggestive. And that's what she was willing to say on camera.

The full video of this tells a different story. I'm not saying that gun draw was necessary but she tried to leave calmly and the other women seemed to have jumped behind her car and threatened to beat her and her husband.

I realize this may be an unpopular opinion and has nothing to do with whatever happened there, but I don't think blanket comments like this do much other than to cause more anger and division:

"We need to have a conversation on WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH WHITE WOMEN?!

WE CAN'T PRETEND THEY AREN'T A PROBLEM !"

They bring it on themselves, though. No one makes them cut their hair like that.

Do you have a link to the full video? I’m curious to see it.

i think there are some really good tips and ideas we should all use from this....

Americans are living in a big ‘anger incubator.’ Experts have tips for regulating our rage.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/wellness/anger-control-protests-masks-coronavirus/2020/06/29/a1e882d0-b279-11ea-8758-bfd1d045525a_story.html


it's the one percent that's causing all the problems. and not talking about the wealthy either. we live in a country of 350 million people and 99 percent just want to live their lives. that still leaves a ton of assclowns out there doing assclown things. why must we give them their 15 minutes of fame and not only that, but sensationalize and politicize it into a problem and apply it to a much larger percent of the population? there are people who are idiots, there are also people who are mentally ill. they are not representative of america. white, brown, black america.... all this shit doesn't go on in azrider's world. this doesn't go on with my friends, when i go shopping, when i go drink, it doesn't happen. yes, there are issues we as a nation must work on, but all this other shit is just meant to incite. we have to stop listening and watching a media that is politicized and politicians spewing rhetoric meant to incite. it's time we cancel them.

and i don't want to hear about any protest or counter protest that has less people than when i walk into an arby's.

Tbh I feel this way about the entire "Karen" thing, as well as (funny as it was) the "Gravy Seals" thing re: the South Philly Target / Columbus statue people and "OK, boomer"

Problem is all of this has been GREAT for business at Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc. They thrive off of this 1% that either become memes or at least generate enough outrage / interest to warrant sending the tweet or tagging a friend saying "can you believe this?"

Agree - I deleted Twitter, Instagram, and FB from my phone about a month ago and don't miss them one bit

I think, in this case, it's not angry tweeters, but the cops who murdered Breonna Taylor, Elijah McClain, Andres Guardado, and so many more who are "causing the problems." arresting them would go a long way toward "regulating our rage"
