Close encounter with a crackhead

[Troike]

I always profess my extreme hatred for tweakers + crackheads, of who I've had minimal experience with. I've had a few friends who did a lot of coke, I made fun of them just because I could.

Tweakers? We all know they suck.

Tonight I had my first personal encounter with a crackhead though. Totally random. Walking to my friend's over-crowded upper-level apartment (5 people, including two chinese immigrants and a guy who I totally thought was a girl).
Anyway, walkin down the street totally sober @ the time, scruffy looking white guy on a BMX bike (obviously stolen), in middle of street suddenly addresses me ...

I'm used to all the Navajo asking me for $$$ for booze, sometime I hand out change, other times not. I had enough $$ for two 24oz of Steele Reserve 211 and $5 just in case ...
But this guy, being white, instead asks me hey man, you got any ROCK?.

Oh yes, I got propositioned for crack.

I tried to rationalize this ...

-I'm 50 lbs underweight
-Was wearing a beanie
-Tattoo visible with short-sleeve
-Packing cigarettes [I don't even smoke]
-Slightly unshaven/unshowered
-needle marks on both arms


Except only the first two items were visible in the unlight streets of south flag ghetto. So I guess I just got lucky. Caught me off guard for sure. The poor guy asserted he was "a painter," obvious by his paint-stained five-year-old levis.

Sorry, mate, I was on my way to liquor heaven, no detours on the crack train.

Notable quote, closing question from crackhead:

Do you know where the NIGGERS live??


note: I typed this when drunk, still too hungover to edit it, but thought I'd share :p
I have to leave my car parked at my apartment complex most times, I don't trust driving/parking it in half this city.

To be honest, I've never been asked by random tweakers for a hookup.

Usually, when I go to a party, people look at me and whisper to their friends, "Hey, who brought the narc?"

heh.

LMAO, you work for the man. :tdown:

I've actually had people at my job ask me for shit (not as bad as crack, but a little sticky icky and such). My first question is why do you think I have it? I'm obviously not a dealer. I'd have a nicer car (Maybe a 500 benz w/lambo doors and platinum teeth, you know important shit like that). I then get the "Aw c'mon man, you know what's up."

when i was 16 i was partying in richmond ghetto and some guy asked me if i wanted to "score some flava" i was already drunk by then and couldn't stop laughing until he left.. :rolleyes:

This happened in Flagstaff, fear not.

And I actually work for a police department. But one whose jurisdiction ended a block away, and my friend said the cops don't like venturing into his neighborhood.

Not that I'd ever call the cops for something like that, it didn't bug me. I've done plenty of shit in my day.

Besides, asking someone for crack isn't a crime in and of itself, until either a monetary proposal has entered into the conversation, or possession of the illegal substance is involved. Or at least that would be my legal interpretation.

Plus, not worth wasting taxpayer dollars on a crackhead ... and I had some boozing to do :D
