"fUcK aRoUnD aNd FiNd OuT..." said the NIGGER who almost hit my car today after it was going 20+ over the speed limit which caused me to slam on my breaks and lay on my horn to avoid a crash, then the nigger pulled out a gun & threatened to "murk" me. Got his plates and called the cops immediately. But they're just as fucking useless as a dog turd blocking a storm drain. I'm still fucking worked up about it.
