I have a Watts story for you. One time in the early 80's me and a buddy went down to LA to visit his brother. We met a couple gals and asked them to dinner. Not knowing the area, we just looked at a map for the quickest route to the restaurant we were going to, and went. All of a sudden, the area was looking quite rough. Then the red flashing lights went off behind us.

Cop pulled us over. I asked why as he was busy checking us out. Once he realized we really were in the wrong place by accident, he says, "You know where you are?". We say no. He says," you are in Watts, they will kill you here for being white. Follow me ". And we got a police escort out of Watts.

Wait, have i told this?
