Seems reasonable. They do it for the cops.

I understand that is the theory. But, in your personal experience, does this story make sense.

My experience with semi-cops everywhere in my life is that they just don’t stomp on someone. And I have been an a-hole with those types. I am an ornery old coot.

Of course your mileage may vary. I would love to hear the guard’s side.

In most hospitals if you don’t want their help—there are rooms full of people who are waiting for help. They wouldn’t hold you back unless there was good reason.

Just my thoughts. Not taking sides.

That was my point. Why should I leave my LEGAL, licensed-to-carry firearm in the parking lot to be stolen? The county saw it my way and installed a gun locker similar to those used in jails. You walk in, inform them you’re carrying, safe the weapon, hand it over and they lock it in your own drawer and hand you a key.

When you leave, you give them they key, they give you your piece, and you rearm yourself at the door. Three years now without a single incident.

Unfortunately, the available data shows otherwise.

It doesn’t make sense to throw a live grenade into a house in the middle of the night, knowing (as any person with a modicum of intelligence would) that women and children are likely to be asleep within.

Now a little toddler is paying the price for a government employee’s decision to “play soldier”.

You are attempting to assume rational behavior from the Power Hungry. The Power Hungry can be safely assumed to act in ways which they deem to increase their power.

Your argument is not valid.

Show me where hospital security has acted this poorly in the past. Not stupid steroid riddled swat cops.

Hospital security spends more time helping folks off the floor, not beating them to death.

I am simply saying there is a LOT more to this story than we are being told. Have these security guys been arrested or detained?

That alone tells me there is more going on here.

You cannot suggest that the media has it all wrong when we don’t like story—and then rely on them to be accurate when they report something you want to believe.

You have to think critically about this stuff.

It’s gotten so bad, I think I’ll stick with the 21st Amendment! ;)
