They may wake up in the morning wondering where the tv is, but they’re very charitable. 🤷♂️ Nice story, btw. 45 minutes ago, That's No Moon said: Not to burst everyone's City of Good Neighbors bubble, but the kids that were bullying the kid are Buffalonians too and there was more than one of them. Kinda the point of the story. Maybe you missed it. Edited October 30, 2022 by AlfaBill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singular. Have you ever been in the city during a snowstorm when everybody is snowed into their house?? and those “good neighbors “ shovel out elderly and disabled folks with no questions … they give food to drives and would give their last meal to the needy don’t question the city of Buffalo and it’s love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 A-hole parents raise a-hole kids and most a-hole kids grow up to be a-hole adults, then a-hole parents. Kudos to this young man, who is clearly being raised well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandfather was a NY State Trooper. I could name some of the troublemakers in school and he would remember having arrested their parents/grandparents years earlier.
