The mass looting and vandalism started after thousands of police forces refused to patrol the city streets in demand for higher pay and better working conditions.

If I were the police and on-strike, I would pay rioters to go cause trouble. It’s like the Walmart or McDonald’s situations where the unions pay people who don’t even work there to go protest for the sky-high living minimum wage. It’s the seamy underside of community organizing.

Argentina is just a more organized version of Venezuela or Zimbabwe.

If a store owner were to leave a half dozen looters dead on the ground, I don’t suppose there would be any charges pressed. I mean ... with the police on strike and all ...

Interesting, when the police are on strike only one person in the city is murdered. I wonder, how many are killed when the police are not on strike?

Look at those head sweatbands. They’re ready to start dropping urban Amish!
Homer described the “labor of combat.”
I’m picking up some Remington .45 and Winchester 12 gauge buckshot tomorrow. Still having trouble finding .22 and 9mm.

The cheapest online price that I've found for 9mm.

I recently found some at Wally World also.

We did a basketful of charity toy shopping at Walmart tonight, and there was more variety in the ammo case than I’ve seen in months.

Interesting how “looting” and “flat screen TVs” always seem to turn up in the same sentence. No matter what the geographic location.
