You know I've been the victim of far more white collar crime than blue collar crime.

I've had my car broken into and my house broken into. Mostly those are acts of desperation. I don't like it but I have to say it pales when it comes to the routine theft that I've suffered at the hands of rip off lawyers and investors.

I was in the construction business. Ask anyone who builds custom homes in California. White collar theft is just a cost of doing business. It's routine.

I'm a white guy who's lived in East LA for years. Never been bothered.

Of course I'm not stupid. I don't drive a 60K car around and I don't wear $1000 watches. Guys like that might as well have a big red target tatooed on their forhead. Personally, I think if you get a flat down here you made your own bed dude.

Most people down here can't afford medical treatment for their Mother. Is it any wonder their is a little discontent?
