Ghetto Lottery

1) Cheap Scratch Off Tickets 2) Low life individual who usually resides in Public housing or historically ghetto community with a documented arrest record getting shot by the po-lice . The family of these scumbags would typically consult with a lowlife lawyer and in turn sue the city for at least 10 million dollars. The individual is either dead or a paraplegic at this point, but individual's family is now assured a high quality life.

Ghetto lottery

A game played by lawbreakers wherein a large cash sum may be awarded after winning or, more commonly, settling a lawsuit against the city due to supposedly unjustifiable police action. Sums are awarded either to 'victims' or their grossly dysfunctional relatives, and typically spent frivolously within a short space of time on unnecessary goods.

How to enter:
1) Do not behave like a civilized human being

2) Do not co-operate with law enforcement under any circumstances
3) To the greatest extent possible, provoke the police into detaining or arresting
3) Resist detainment/arrest; claim it to be unlawful
4) Sustain fatal or serious injury (relatives of the deceased shall enter the lottery)
5) When contacted by toxic 'civil rights' lawyers, agree to everything
6) Tell the media that you "didn't do nothing" (or that your relative was "a good kid")

Please note: Entry into the ghetto lottery is possible only in cities with corrupt and extremely liberal district attorneys, judges, etc.
- Quantavius Williams, 21, was shot and killed by police after reaching into his waistband while fleeing on foot following a dangerous high-speed vehicle pursuit. The City of Atlanta awarded his relatives $500,000 after settling a wrong death lawsuit.

- Markeesha Jones, 49, was detained after she refused to identify herself to police during a burglary investigation. Jones' attorneys claim that her civil rights were violated because the police had no reasonable suspicion to question her. The City of San Fransisco was ordered to award $8.5m to Markeesha and her daughter, Mo'nique.

- Connor Blackwell, 31, was arrested for leaving the scene of an accident and disorderly conduct, but was pronounced deceased after suffering a heart attack while in custody. Toxicology reports state that Smith, a felon with extensive criminal history, had acute levels of cocaine in his system. Bodycam footage also shows Smith resisting arrest for more than eight minutes before finally being handcuffed. Police and paramedics on scene were facing charges of negligent homicide, but they were dropped. The family's legal representatives say they want justice, and the City of Columbus is now facing a $5m wrongful death lawsuit.

Contrary to popular belief, the ghetto lottery can be won by any individual regardless of race or ethnicity. As long as you have contempt for law and order, your ticket can be secured.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
