The leftists advise peeing on rapists...

maybe, works here too: Next robber you meet, pee on him (or her).

Things happening so fast that some sites just can’t keep up. Seattle is pretty much a ghost town what with businesses shuttered/closed, no tourism. Alaska Way is just a hotel for vagrants - yuck.

Isn’t it wonderful living in a Socialist/Communist utopia.

You vote for it and surprised you got it? No sympathy.

Absolutely “Be prepared to be raped.” And of course “Be prepared to be lynched.”

And don’t bother calling the cops - they won’t come.

My wallet?”

Here’s a .380 instead...

I, too, prefer the Denny Crane method.

Denny Heck believes in gun control

Thanks. Suspect the data has not yet caught up with what is happening in real time. Right now in NYC it is very difficult to contract with a reliable,insurd moving company. They are overbooked.

Reminds me of the first scene in “The Shootist” when a robber demanded JB Books’ wallet. Books threw his wallet and said, “And here’s a little extra”, and shot him.

How about I just shoot them through my CC purse? I can always get another purse. ;)

I made a “decoy wallet” back in the day when we actually used to venture into Baltimore from time to time.

An old wallet - about $20 in ones and fives - and those fake credit cards that they send you with applications. I kept the real cards and cash in pockets. I figured that it would pass for close enough to real in the dark and a thief would grab it and run. I wouldn’t do it now since such a stunt would probably get me shot, but I don’t go into Baltimore any more either.

It is time to introduce the criminal element to Mr. 12 gauge and Mr. 00 buckshot, preferably up close and personal.

As I said, the in depth info is behind a paywall. I just got to read the lede.

How that breaks down, retail, office space, etc. have no idea...but think it might be very, very, very hard to find any good news there.
