Bad Boys - Part IV

@Justin Wilson3



It seems everyone is looking for someone to blame... Honestly, it’s easy to sit back and say "someone else will handle it." I'm actually quite proud of how we handled that Cup match in Columbus this past Wednesday—united and loud, giving it everything we had. It was just us LA-Watchmakers and our most loyal supporters. Every single one of us until the end!!!

Seriously, anyone who can find the time to line up at the Quartic, get in there...

Rest in peace to the most loyal among us...

God. Popeye... ten years...

God. Vukovic... twenty years...

All I love is Real Madrid, Alcohol, and woman !!!

Come on, New Yorkers... 🙂

This site actually tells the truth about what’s going on in American soccer—everything is backed up by real arguments, and they aren't afraid to take cheap shots at the corrupt mafia running the USSF. Honestly, I think this is going to become required reading for any actual fan pretty soon.

Acting like some big shot in front of the whole squad... I'd bet my life the kid's actually a minor!

The countdown to the postseason has officially begun, and you just know the mainstream media is gearing up to start dragging certain fanbases through the mud. 3... 2... 1... It’s practically inevitable. Honestly, what are the odds that they *won't* try to spin the narrative against us?

It’s highly probable this actually happened, mostly because some guy over on the ESPN forums was already calling it out a few days ago.

supporter? 🤣

Sunday🙂

Do you actually know anything about this team's history, or are you just clueless? Do you even realize what happened back in 1979?

I’m asking this purely out of curiosity—just wondering what kind of explanation I might get here. About two weeks ago, I was heading over to a local spot near downtown early in the morning, and right in front of the community center, I saw this older gentleman unloading about fifteen plastic beer cups from his vintage off-road vehicle. His entire hood and windshield were absolutely soaked in beer. He had the truck parked right there in front of the association.

It made me stop and wonder right then and there: Is all this massive outcry against the BBB actually justified? What did the old man do wrong? Is this really how the "protectors of the neighborhood" act?

I’m not trying to pass judgment; I’m just interested in hearing some of your guys' takes. In my mind, it still hasn't quite clicked—I always assumed the BBB wouldn't go out of their way to cause any kind of damage to a fellow citizen's car. Or am I just completely misunderstanding the whole point of what the BBB actually does?

This guy's hitting me up like😉😂 Go ask some old-timers what went down during the '78/'79 season.
You can find a write-up online, or even in one of our local fan zines!

About two weeks ago, I was heading down toward a local spot early in the morning, and right there in front of the community center, I see this old guy getting dumped on by someone—he's standing by his vintage Jeep, and he’s got like fifteen plastic beer cups being emptied all over him, with the soda completely flooding his hood and windshield. He’s parked right in front of the building.

So, at that exact moment, I found myself wondering... is all this massive uproar against the BBB actually justified? What did the old man even do? Is this really how the "protectors of the neighborhood" act?

I’m not trying to judge anyone here, I’m genuinely just curious about what you guys think. In my head, I always figured the BBB wouldn't go around causing any kind of damage to a regular citizen's car. Or am I just totally missing the point of what the BBB actually does?

So, did you actually step up and help the old guy clean off his car? Or are you just sitting here acting like some big moral authority on this forum?!

In that moment, I found myself wondering: Is all this massive outcry against the Bad Boys actually justified? What did the old man really do wrong? Is this how the "protectors of our neighborhood" are supposed to act?

I’m not trying to judge anyone here; I’m genuinely just curious to hear what you guys think. In my mind, I still can't quite wrap my head around it—it just doesn't seem like the Bad Boys would ever do something to damage a fellow citizen's car. Or am I just fundamentally misunderstanding what the Bad Boys are all about?

That’s a really great question... honestly, I could ask the exact same thing whenever we head to a game and the crew starts acting wild on the light rail, smoking, and just behaving like total idiots...
It’s just the way it's been for years. It wouldn't have mattered if he’d parked in front of a bar or a nightclub instead.
The thing is, it’s incredibly hard to reason with people when they’ve been drinking.
How are you supposed to explain things to a group of ten young guys who are drunk and pouring beer over a car or leaving trash everywhere, especially when they spend their weekends singing about being the protectors of our part of town? It’s nearly impossible.
Your only real options are to get into a fight with them or just walk away.
If anyone else had done that, nobody would have blinked an eye—just some guys having a few drinks and acting out. But when someone who identifies as a Bad Boy pulls a stunt like that, they look like complete morons. That’s how it looks to the rest of the public, and I don't think that perception is going to change anytime soon.
Alcohol is a nasty thing...

I'm sitting in a pub in the neighborhood around 11 PM. There's a younger crowd at the next table—guys and girls laughing, joking around, being loud enough that the owner has to ask them to pipe down. I head out to use the restroom, find five people crowded inside—it's packed. On my way back, walking through the little park on the way home, there's a group with cases of beer, glass shattering here and there. A car speeds by, tires screeching, blasting music.
I get home, unlocking my door in front of the telecom shop, and it hits me how much better things used to be. Man, things used to be awesome. You know what I mean? Back then? It was legendary.

Man, that’s nothing. Last weekend they flipped a car onto its roof and set it on fire.

Thanks for the clarifications—especially from Henry Grant51, who really hit the nail on the head!

Jesse Campbell, I wasn't trying to step in or suggest the guys were in the wrong. I was just running through the scenario in my head—wondering how a true BBB member would actually handle it. After hearing everything, I have to admit, I’m still not entirely sure. People are just unpredictable, I guess.

Jonathan Anderson11, I wasn't trying to help you out or act like the guys messed up. I was just running through the scenarios in my head, wondering how a real BBB member would handle it. Now that things are clear, I'm still on the fence. To each their own, I guess.

Look, man, there wasn't even any vandalism going on. The kids were just grabbing a quick bite and obviously used the hood as a table. It could’ve been way worse; I’ve seen much messier stuff than this.

Police have been patrolling around the stadium since the crack of dawn today; I wonder which crew 🤣 🤷

The parade kicks off at 1 PM from Quartic!!
