* Yes, there are legal matters that some may want to consider. In times of dire, national emergencies, my family’s safety comes before a thugs well being.
( I do worry about the mailman turning around too far up the driveway tho !! ) < S >

[Salvation]

Worse than Chicago?

[Old Yeller]

Just be glad that the freaks are complying with the mask requirement.

He’s borrowing, not stealing. He will pay back with interest when their apex comes.

[bgill]

No big surprise. Criminals are bored.

[1_Rain_Drop]

You’re funny.

[glennaro]

It’s hard to arrest anyone when you can’t get closer than 6 feet and everyone is wearing a mask! The Chinese sure read us well!

That is why I am in my store a couple of times a day. Almost no crime in my area but I am on a main road and lots of people drive by.

I also do pick up orders for my regular customers giving me a trickle of a cash flow.
