On this story. If he's a hoplophobe, I have no sympathy.
If he isn't, he should train and prepare better.
Personally, I am ALWAYS at condition yellow.
It sucks on dry ice, but I have a family with 2 little Sons to worry about.
The only time that I am not armed is when I am in my place of employment -because it's a, "Private Property. Firearms Not Allowed," area.
It's a really big facility, though.
I also have a plan....just in case.
Aw jeez! I'm rambling again.
Too many Vesper martinis.
Laz? Help me out here, please?
What's your armed and ready status?
Inquiring minds want to know...

What is the mayor doing out there at 2:15 a.m.? Getting home from a bar drunk? Was he followed home with motives to obtain his nice shinny vehicle from a drunk easy target?

I suggest that the mayor take a drug test.
I suggest ALL public employees AND elected individuals take a MANDATORY drug test.

Seems simple to me. Mayor waiting for drive-by drug delivery. Drug delivery guys not nice people. Mayor jacked. The End.

If he was a Democrat before the carjacking, he’s surely a Republican now.
