I’ve never had any indication that anyone has gotten in back there who shouldn’t have been there. I’ve lived here eighteen years and there has never been a crime of any sort on this street or in the whole neighborhood. It’s getting closer though. Everybody has at least a small acreage, many are set well back from the road. Mine is. One thing I’ve noticed is all the target practice out here. At least four neighbors do on weekends now. That’s a fairly recent thing. You didn’t hear gunfire from anything but hunters and at a distance before this year.
I live in a small town in rural WI, and had 3 Christmas packages stolen from my front step. (They were delivered about 5:30 P.M on Thursday according to UPS). We got home at 6:15 and they were gone. I keep checking local Craigslist to see if someone has the gall to sell them.....
"Protection" is about 6 bodyguards for about $600,000 a year... 24/7 protection ain't cheap. As taxpayers most of us do NOT want to provide citizens with bodyguards...
The owebamazombies are feeling pretty confident now that their man has cheated his way back into the white hut. They know that its open season on anybody who is stupid enough to work for a living and that getting caught will only be a minor incovenience.
Coming soon to a neighborhood near you.
Yup, the thieves follow the trucks. If no one picks up the package right away (drivers won’t wait for you), they take it.
If you have guns at home protect them like they are gold. Don’t leave all your guns at home when you are out, if someone has broken in they have access to your home defense. Don’t let it be known that you have guns or anything else of value for that matter.Make your place uninviting to a burglar in any way you can. Know your neighbors
And Bob Costas has an armed bodyguard I’m sure.
Liberals say we need high taxes for police, roads. But it’s a nationwide story city police forces are collapsing. Camden, NJ just eliminated its police and now the County taxpayers have to police the city.
Liberals are evil destructive bastards.
Exactly. As the saying goes, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away. That is not just a cute saying, it is very, very true. Average code 3 (lights and sirens) response time in these parts is verified, tracked, and reported at 9 minutes. I don't know about you, but I can do a lot of damage in 9 minutes. I don't want myself nor my loved-ones at some thugs mercy for 9 minutes. I'd rather use those 9 minutes to get my story straight, calm my loved ones, and promise the wife that yes, we'll finally be replacing the carpet.
The police are there to protect society as a whole, not any one person. Literally, someone has to commit a crime before the police do anything. So you have to be a victim first. Then they'll swing into action, try to apprehend the suspect, hope the DA, judge, and jury work as advertised and lock the scumbag up. All that happens (maybe) after you and/or yours are victims. You don't like the idea of yourself or a loved-one being injured, raped, killed? Then it is 100% up to you to take steps to prevent it.
Get in shape, even marginally. In America people that exercise regularly have an advantage over those that don't, because most don't. Carry a weapon on you at all times. A knife, a gun, whatever you can legally carry. I know people that have carried illegal weapons at times figuring if something went down, at least they'd be alive to answer for it. Whatever your comfort level. Stay alert. Situational awareness is everything. Many thugs won't target someone who is alert. They don't want someone who is prepared to put up a fight. That visible alertness may save you from an attack, or at least give you a few seconds to prepare for it.
In short, be ready. That includes you lib lurkers. No amount of whining about unfairness, playing the race card, nor blaming someone else will save you either. Be ready.
When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away.
Many (all?) California cities have cut their police forces by significant numbers. The feds made us release “non violent” offenders from State Prisons due to “overcrowding.” The results are entirely predictable...property crime (mainly daylight burglaries) are WAY up in our peaceful little town. I drove to South San Jose today to get some lumber and I’ve never seen such graffiti on freeway overpasses as I saw today. It was absolutely appalling.
Thank Goodness we are using our tax money to keep the illegals well fed, well clothed, well housed, well schooled, and provided with good health care, drivers licenses, etc.
I just put mine in the safe when I’m gone. Right next to many pounds of black and smokeless powder and primers.
If they decide to cut it open, the blast will be heard miles away.
Music to my ears. About time we tried some old west justice to clean up these towns.
Animal welfare workers say 11 puppies were found dead and skinned near an eastern Pennsylvania park.
They turned out to be fox, not dogs.
Communist Obamanation File.
Cops bring the body bags and shoot your dog. Get a gun and protect yourself and your family. It's still legal.
For now.
