Not really. Right? Your neighbor does not really have a crossbow.

Here's one comment referring to it. There may be an earlier one, I'm not sure.

They are a common sight where Phil lives. They have to look like that, while the men and boys look like regular people. It's really fucked.

The men should have to wear those hairdos.

It is illegal in Harper Woods to paint sparrows and sell them as parakeets.
Phil wrote: "He lives on the cross street you need to use to reach my house. Keep your head down."ls it likely he'll be on his porch with his crossbow?

Nothing much to tell. It's usually a group of about six women, all dressed and coiffed as in the pictures above. Occasionally there is a man or boy with them. The women tend to keep to themselves, though they do respond when I say, "hi."At Costco, they'll load up one of the large, orange flatbed carts with groceries and sundries, always staying in a group. The goods get packed into large 15 passenger vans (once in a while it's a regular mini-van) and off they go.
By the way, the men do stand out somewhat. I believe they are required to wear the old style, full-length garments (underwear), extending to ankles and wrists. To cover those, they wear jeans and long sleeved button-up shirts, even when it's 110 degrees in the summer.
Lobstergirl wrote: "Oh, I read that as 15 separate vans. That would be something."I did too the first time that I read it.
These families make me sad. As an outsider I try not to judge, but it's impossible to feel good about the lives the women and children are having.

It can't be a very fulfilling life. What if these women and children have things they aspire to, like a profession, but it's not allowed. I would hate to live like that.
Cesspools of backwardness are everywhere even as we seemingly progress as a world. Another gang rape after a bus ride in Punjab, India today.
