That is pathetic. An American city scared shitless by a 19 year old.
This is a result of 50 years of the wuss-o-facation of America. The metrosexuals have taken over. An entire city cowers while a few hard, rough men and women try to protect them. It could not have happened 60 years ago. The bombing. Maybe. The cowering. Never! It makes me want to puke. Not in my little corner of the world. Never!

Some even here on Free Republic are praising this very action.

I’d say the problem is beyond “people are scared”.

The question is often asked, “What can a handgun do against an army?” Well, if a 19-year-old with a gun can shut down a city of millions for a few days, I’d say the answer is evidently quite a lot. What would it look like with 1000, or even 100 people “strenuously objecting” to some sort of tyranny? I’m not seeking to find out, but I think we have the answer.
