Have to agree and it\&#039;s being talked about elsewhere, I think that a top plastic surgeon would agree. The cosmetic surgery of today is professional.</description>

		<description>Ive never posted anything on a website like this, but I was searching for things to do in Minnesota, and I came across this place. I have a few things I&#039;d like to say.....


First off, I do believe those 6 black guys stole those things. If nobody knew them, that means they didnt know anyone there, so they wouldnt care if someone they didnt know was missing something valuable. (if you can understand that)


Second, Im from Minnesota, and I live in a town of about 20,000 people. I was born and raised here. For 25 years I have seen people come and go, and in the last 5 years or so parts of this town have become &quot;black neighborhoods&quot;. They were once very nice neighborhoods. Now, a $200,000 house is going on the market for $80,000. Nobody wants to live in those neighborhoods because of the crimes. There have been murders, auto thefts, vandalism, and BURGLARIES. There may have been burglaries in the past (before &quot;they&quot; moved to town), but nothing like it is now. I, myself have had things stolen. I live about 3 blocks from where they congregate. I have had my daughters bike stolen, car stereo, shoes, and even a $10 cooler! From my garage, to boot. All these crimes are done by black people. Its a proven fact. Our crime rate has shot up in the last 4 years 700%!!!


My point is, is that if you are black, and you are sick of being discriminated against, STOP DOING THINGS THAT MAKE PEOPLE DISCRIMINATE AGAINST YOU!!!!!! Stop dealing drugs! Stop stealing! Stop hanging out on the street corner all day and GET A DAMN JOB!!! Stop having more kids just so you can get more WELFARE!




As for those black people out there that have jobs, and work to make a living, and dont commit crimes, you are the people that dont deserve discrimination. You should be proud of yourself.


And as for the person that got things stolen, go with your feelings. If you feel they stole from you, they probably did..........

		<description>All right.... here&#039;s my spin:
1) given the numerous accounts of this situation, I think it&#039;s exceedingly likely that these guys stole from you. Not 100% but damn near....
2) Spotting strange people at your party and wondering &quot;Who the hell are these guys?&quot; does not make you a racist, even if you are white, they are black, or whatever. Smart people (and austin is full of them) recognize the vibe that a person brings to the table, and if that vibe is strange, manipulative, deceptive, shady, or negative, a smart (or intuitive) person can often feel that. This is not racism, it is intuition, and it is one of the greatest tools we have.
3) slinging accusations of racism, claiming that the story is invalid/flawed/full of holes, and other such activity is completely out of place for someone who does not know the original poster, or who didn&#039;t go to the party or who has no direct experience of the situation. People who do these kinds of things are the reason that the power of the internet is dilluted. Unfortunately, open communication makes for open tangents into stupid territory. Please shut up.
4)Never feel guity about exercising discretion in the people you associate with. Ever. When shady people show up, kick them out, regardless of race/age/sexual orientation/religion/where they ate lunch. End of story.


I truly hope that somehow you find these guys. A very big part of me hopes that somehow this thread will lead to some kind of information. That would be an awesome moment.

Best of luck friend. My apologies to anyone who may have been upset by my post, I intend no harm.....

		<description>Just wanted to put my  $0.02 in.


I am so sorry this happened to you here in Austin.  A city that I live in and love.


I will look out for these guys.  I have a GREAT memory and if I see them I will keep this link as a bookmark - you never know.


As far as being an idiot about letting these guys in to the party - I don&#039;t think so...you see guys come in and they are out of place but in our society there are two different types of people - those who are negative and don&#039;t try to make this a better world and those of us (myself included) who are trying to make it a better place and accept everyone equally.  I applaud you on not being judgemental and I hiss at those guys for being asses - they should pay as they did in the old times....


Now - to back up APD - these guys are busy.  Yeah it may seem like they don&#039;t do anything but think about how many pictures they do get of people who are criminals on a daily basis.  All they can do is post up pictures in a book of some sort and it&#039;s basically up to the general public to identify them.  I know I can&#039;t remember every persons face I see in passing - that is basically how it is for them.


The best thing to do is post their pictures up where &quot;Austin&quot; related things happen.  I found this link through Craigslist - who knows how many others have seen it.


I wish you well in persuing these jerks and hope that it does not taint your feelings about Austin.  I guess the only thing is you learned a lesson from this.  If you are having a party somewhere, lock the purse in the trunk of your car and keep your cell phone with you or in the locked mode.


Good Luck - Heather from Austin

		<description>Kim, thank you for being the voice of reason here.


Joe, you&#039;re the village idiot.


I hope the people who committed this crime get caught and prosecuted.


If you didn&#039;t see it WITH YOUR OWN EYES, you can&#039;t be 100% sure, can you?


It is EXTREMLY LIKELY that this guy stole from you.  It is not a fact.


I thought we still opperated under the assumption that people were INNOCENT until proven guilly in a court of law.

		<description>Jesus, Mabel, are you retarded? You can tell these people are felons just by looking at them? You know what lurks in hearts of men? What the hell, are you the Shadow?
Her lesson is to keep her shit with her, not to not party with black people. Christ.
(But of course, maybe that&#039;s what one can expect from a poster named Mabel, fer chrissakes. See? Stereotypes are f-u-n fun!)

		<description>That&#039;s what you get for letting a bunch of thugs into your apt.  You couldn&#039;t tell by looking at these guys that they would do something like that to you.  Hope you learned a valuable lesson.
