When they start putting armed guards in the welfare offices,
be ready for the feces to hit the circulating device.

Meanwhile, the Socialist King and Queen and their 800 friends are traveling to India on your dollars.

For what it’s worth, I’ve seen armed security, as many as two guards, at Virginia DMV offices in urban areas.

Colorado put the police in Motor Vehicle offices due to Demorat raising taxes and calling them Fees. They started charging a $100 fee (tax) for vehicles that had not been licensed for years. The demorats chased out oil companies that provided much state revenue to raise taxes to put the people under their thumb.

There should be armed guards at high-volume DMVs.

Thousands of people coming through and paying cash for license fees, permit fees, tickets, etc.

A good number of DMVs probably have more cash on the premises than the average local bank branch.

“Why Is Indiana Putting Armed Security Guards Into 36 Unemployment Offices Across The State?”

Many of the 99 weekers are about to be cut off.

Why is there a photo of police in riot gear accompanying a story about security guards unless it is mean’t to gin up more fear than need be?

[silverleaf]

or when they start putting armed guards at the supermarkets

[jersey117]

Yikes! Because 99 weeks is about to come to an end?

[MrB]

With just-in-time delivery,
those shelves will be bare before anyone has anything to fight over.

If you’re at the store when the SHTF,
you didn’t do it right.

OXNARD — An out-of-work computer engineer with a history of grudges against government opened fire without warning in an unemployment office here Thursday, killing three people and later fatally shooting a police officer before he was gunned down at another unemployment office in the neighboring city of Ventura, authorities said.

This was almost 17 years ago but I remember it well.

oops, on the double post :(

I've already noted presumably off-duty sheriff deputies at Ohio Kroger supermarkets.

The deputies have a sweet deal: they can work for a private entity in their "off" hours yet are paid at their overtime rate,and the private business gets someone with full authority to arrest ,also fully equipped,and hopefully trained to handle any security situation.

Except my experience is that security guards are traditionally more about service than law enforcement;I wonder about the attitudes and atmosphere changes.

Somehow I don't think this photo is what the armed security guards are going to look like.

Not quite sure why they thought to use it.

As far as the story goes, I'm not at all surprised there's going to be armed guards in unemployment offices. People are growing desperate. When one of them eventually loses it after being refused unemployment, people are going to ask, "Why weren't there security guards on the premises? Everyone knew something like this was just a matter of time!"

[cgbg]

I am surprised the White House hasn’t started bragging about how they have created 100,000 new armed guards jobs.

[ASOC]

This summer I was in Tucson and visited several grocery stores with ‘off duty but paid by the city who is paid by the store’ cops.

I asked one if things had gotten that bad (as in need to CCW)

The answer - “not right now”. I found out later the parking lot was a war zone on paydays/welfare check day.....

[Oldexpat]

Even more people go onto the state employment rolls. It is a jobs program.

[silverleaf]

We used to have a local neighborhod market that was picked over by shoplifters from the nearby projects - they left

The another one came, and hired security guards - and got accused of racism for challenging yoots with stuffed hoodies and big fat mama’s with strollers laden with stolen goods

They closed the market - now we have a “food desert”

[Danae]

Gee, imagine that. Government forces people to be dependent on government checks, then acts all surprised when those now dependent people get pissed off when the government stops writing the checks.

Now how the hell would have thought that.

Socialism is GREAT until the government runs out of other peoples money!
