It's not the Jedi way

Today, at 9:41 am, there was a man wearing a black Star Wars t-shirt that said, "It's not the Jedi way," on the northwest corner of 85th and Aurora. He was whooping and howling nonsense at southbound traffic. He was black with cornrows, not your typical Star Wars fan. At the same time, there was a white man with a folding chair and a sign on the southwest corner who appeared to be scowling at the Star Wars fan. As the light held me there, I watched as the white man hobbled across Aurora with his folding chair to the southeast corner, opposite the Star Wars fan. Then the light turned green, and I turned on to 85th and got on the highway, thinking, "Wow. You're right. That just isn't the Jedi way..."
