If a thug is pointing a gun at you, do you really think he's going to let you call the police?

......................

Two thugs, one with a perfectly legal baseball bat, won't let you use the phone.

Even if they did, they'd have four or five minutes to whack you dead and take your money, ID, and credit.

Take the Rodney King video, the 22 seconds they used to show over and over, and loop it for the time your local PD says is their average response time.

Whack is more than a sound- this is nuts.

Even if they did, they'd have four or five minutes to whack you dead and take your money, ID, and credit.

It might even appeal to their idea of sport--you call, then they whack and grab and see if they can get out of Dodge before the Man shows up.

"In late June 1982, then-Mayor Dianne Feinstein pushed through a handgun ban in San Francisco that lasted only three months before it was overturned by the California State Court of Appeals. Twenty days after the ban was enacted, SAF took Feinstein and the city to court, ultimately beating the ban on Oct. 30 of that year. The city appealed that decision to the California Supreme Court, which allowed the Appeals Court ruling to stand in January 1983."

Lets hope the California Supreme court has enough sense to reverse this one as well. This was the court that said the Catholic church had to provide abortions in their health insurance coverage for their employees... Then again, it was also the court that halted Newsome's gay marriage (smokescreen) fiasco in SF...
