The reason I’m unsure about trock is that I would expect a trock to stink up more than one thread (well, again, dropped turds in 2 others but hasn’t bothered anything else) and likely shown up here as well.
But absolute refusal to actually argue his own points (or cites) and making vague comments and accusations with buzzwords? Troll. And the pattern of acting innocent at first and then going at it with all guns blazing is indeed trocky.
Also, sticking to the Pit once the gloves came off, like someone pretty familiar with the board. That’s what made me think sock rather than true newbie troll.
Any troll that shows up and posts in the pit is a trock. Any troll that shows up but refrains from posting in the pit… is a well-disciplined trock.
Poster: How can you ban trolls and trocks?
Mod: Easy… you don’t lead 'em so much. Ain’t posting hell?
No cops after 5? (In south Chicago, whatever the fuck that means.)
New troll, when you’re complaint requires a blatant fucking lie, then you have no complaint. Fucking liar.
It’s terrible how he thinks the police are all cowards that are terrible at their jobs.

Also, your, not you’re. I was in a hurry. New troll is still a fucking liar who has to make up things to be outraged about.
To be fair, the south side of Chicago is the baddest part of town.
Yeah, a man named Leroy Brown rules that part of town.
Looks like that childhood detective agency paid off. He knows things.
Are there some tracks that you can be on the other side of?
Sort of. The Chicago River @ Roosevelt Road is commonly used as the northwestern boundary corner and there have been tracks just south of the river for over 100 years.
Also, CPD headquarters is on the south side. But I guess the cops didn’t go there after 5pm.
What a fucking shitbag new troll is.
But does he drink?
I glanced at his comment in the linked thread (I have long ago put that giant Troll-face on ignore) and it looks like he’s doing the same thing he did early in the Flynn thread. He’s acting like a concerned conservative, without being an obvious troll, but in the process of scaling up. Admittedly, he’s not in the pit this time, but I still expect him to escalate right to borders of the forum.
Which is increasing the Trock coefficient in his judgement considerably.
Wait, that’s a thing?
I recently visited Houston, TX and thought the joke was particular to that city.

It’s a widely used expression for the bad part of town, now often metaphorical. I guess it’s a natural phenomenon when a town grows around a railroad with limited crossing points that the tracks tend to demarcate different neighborhoods.

Guessing you aren’t American then.
Yes, there are thousands of towns in the US where the poorer and socially less desirable (and also…let’s say darker…) folks were ‘encouraged’ to live on literally one side of the railroad tracks once upon a time. Those divisions still exist today, sometimes more or less deliberately and sometimes because once things get ingrained, it’s difficult to change them even if you want to.
ETA: And yes, the ‘wrong’ side was also usually the side that was more typically downwind of the trains or less desirable for other reasons - say more prone to flooding or exposed to some undesirable geographic feature
The railroad tracks I’m familiar with are
