Not surprised, I’ve posted a lot lately about the crime and homelessness we witnessed on vacation there a week or 2 ago.

I saw assault, disorderly conducts, public threats of violence with a weapon, indecent exposure and public drunkenness and never a whiff of police being called. All of this in broad daylight on open city streets. Just my opinion large parts of that city are almost lawless.

Not to sound callous, but most cops are lousy shots. Ever talk to a cop about guns? They’re clueless.

Me: “Nice Sig ya got there officer. Is that a 226 or a 229?”

Cop: “I don’t rightly know.”

Me: Is it chambered in 9mm or .40 Smith and Wesson?”

Cop: “I dunno.”

Another of Obama’s sons demonstrating that “Diversity is our STRENGTH!”

And you better not dissent in the workplace, or you’ll lose your job.

And the Dims think they are going to take our guns away. They want us defenseless against their feral stormtroopers of compliance with race subjugation. Ain’t happening. Not ever.

I picked electrical engineering, and working in electrical distribution design for a reason.
Almost everyone looks “somewhat” like me, and almost everyone stands to pee.

I worked for the government and had Diversity horsehockey forced down my throat on a daily basis. It is killing our country.

There are quite a rew large city or county PD’s that are strongly ‘anti gun culture’ about their members. Chicago PD among them. The history is interesting. For organized crime the CPD was off limits by an informal but biding agreement. The CPD would some times arrest outfit guys and there was even the occasional car chase but no rough stuff in either direction. Street criminals 50 + years ago were not nearly as well armed as today and the CPD used their sidearms to pistol whip resisters more than ever firing them. CPD while institutionally corrupt had a ‘one officer, one riot’ elan about meting out street justice. Hence forearm skills were considered almost irrelevant. I suspect many big cities were like that. Of course, in San Francisco Nan’s home town of Baltimore the cops were notorious for running in the opposite direction of trouble.
