I talked to a couple of older guys in Crestwood, Kentucky in late July, 1994 and one of them said how East St. Louis had gone dark, made it sound like it was a decent place before that.
All these people trying to sensationalize the violence and start a race war don't realize that most of the violence and death is black on black and has existed for decades. It sucks it's like that, but it's hardly new and it usually is confined to the same neighborhoods it was and the surroundings, but it can shift when wealthy white liberals try to gentrify an area and usually they're the ones ultimately targeted.
I'm not a total pussy like you. I'm armed, in great shape and had zero problems even when I lived in big cities. Crime is way down and you can always arm yourself and get a dog.
First you say that the violence is limited to black neighborhoods, then you say you don’t worry because you’re armed and in great shape.
Tell that to the elderly Asians that have been pummeled the past few weeks and then fuck off.
Asians are fine and badass where I live as I've shot guns with them and love them. They also employ a ton of great black folks. Stop looking to ABC and NBC to tell you whats going on you little pussy, instead get out and explore. Black folks in black majority cities never fucked with me in two of the top 5 most dangerous ones, but get off the toilet, wipe your virgin pssy, and stop being such a god damned coward you fucking little bitch.
You’ve shot guns with elderly Asians? How cute.
Blacks don’t mess with you because you aren’t a weak target. You know damn well they walk up and sucker punch weak people, white or Asian.
Now I know why you like blacks so much, the bull you let fuck your wife tells you everything will be ok.
Unlike yourself most people don't have such arrangements and whatever your wife and this "bull" gentleman she invites over and you work out is all on you.
I'll keep living unafraid and not like the little bitch you are. Go strap on another 4 masks when you step on outside today as I'm sure your wittle bitch ass is afraid of Covid too.
You are the moron. The director even said he regretted the scene set as East St. Louis. The sign in the movie indicated East St. Louis even though it was put there in error.
You sure are testy about an unimportant topic. Too much time on your hands.
Agreed. It was a screw up by the director. Which is really odd considering Ramis graduated from Washington University and would have been familiar with the area.
He's also notorious for burning bridges. Pretty much everybody who works with him ends up hating his guts because he's such an asshole to everybody around him.
Yep, that happened. In the 1980s he was invited to host SNL after leaving the show to pursue a movie career. Apparently, he was a complete asshole to everyone during rehearsals. He almost got into a fistfight with Bill Murray after he compared Bill Murray's facial complexion to the surface of the moon. It was such a nightmare for the cast and crew of SNL that after the episode aired, Lorne Michaels said that Chevy Chase would never again be invited to host SNL.
To date all the homicide suspects in 2021 are black or "unknown". Given that all but two victims are black it seems likely all the suspects of "unknown" race are also black. The city is ~48% white, ~45% black.
I think that was supposed to be East St. Louis... its worse now.
There is a barack 0bama blvd there, tho. So they got that goin for em.
"Roll Em up"!!!!!!!
One of my favorite scenes is in that movie... "Who do I look like? Nostradamus?"
That's in the edited for tv version in place of the guy who says, "Fuck yo mama!"
I used to say that to a friend of mine that I worked with in the 90s and it just killed us every time.
Ohh yea its been a shithole for my whole life i travel that way when we go to st loius. im old and i remember when i was a kid it was a shithole.

Key word is ‘most’. If one white person is robbed/raped/murdered by a black, it is too much. You better hope you’re not next.

Today Clark Griswald would be played by Kevin Hart and they would be driving through a town of skinheads and klansmen.
Don’t give them ideas
East St. Louis, which is located in Illinois.
Wrong!
If you’re gonna be retarded, at least be it about something that is not easily verifiable

You’re chasing me for unimportant things, just to tell me how much over it, you are
Replying to me again? Please find something to do with your time.
Fuck yo' mama
Chevy Chase is a pedophile.
He's also notorious for burning bridges. Pretty much everybody who works with him ends up hating his guts because he's such an asshole to everybody around him.
Allegedly when he went on SNL, he was such a jerk, they wouldn't have him back.
Yep, that happened. In the 1980s he was invited to host SNL after leaving the show to pursue a movie career. Apparently, he was a complete asshole to everyone during rehearsals. He almost got into a fistfight with Bill Murray after he compared Bill Murray's facial complexion to the surface of the moon.

this
Honky Lips.
Kids roll up the windows.
highest homicide rate in the nation. It would be better for everyone if they moved the border slightly and became Illinois problem.
90s guitar buddy came from around there, said E. St Louis on the other side of the river, was even worse

I have a book on John Hughes. Apparently, Harold Ramis was asked about that scene and he replied, ''I'm not proud of it.''
Tough
See tha sign that say "Rib Tips"???
Epic movie.
There's one just called vacation? I've seen vegas, european & Christmas vacation... Thought that was all of them
Oh no ... you’re missing the original one .. national lampoons vacation is the first movie of the series ...
I wonder if they would get away with that scene today or if it would be raysis?
