Does anyone know if Philadelphia followed thru on its’ threat to outlaw the use of plexiglass protection in liquor stores? Sounds totally like something NYC would do...

When they shoot the invading hoard of criminals, I can guess who ends up arrested. It won’t be the criminals.

NYC? Armed with what? A baseball bat? If they are armed and use a hand gun in self defense they will be charged for having a hand gun in NYC. Major catch 22 here folks. The best defense is to get the hell out of NYC.

“NYC Bodega Owners Arm Themselves amid Surging Crime”

These folks don’t realize if you use deadly force against the criminals that are threatening your life you have then committed a felonious act.

Shhh... is right! If the so-called “authorities” think you might have a weapon to protect yourself they’ll conduct pre-emptive “inspections” to confiscate them and fine you for it. They’ve got to keep their bruthas safe at all costs.

I will never understand, if I live to be 198, why we bend over backward to coddle criminals so much? Do they think that giving a third, and fourth, and eighteenth and nineteen chance makes the criminal any better a citizen? Would the politicians want that kind of rap sheet for their own children to have?

And the honest people cower, or become victims or become vigilantes. And the cities become sh!tholes. Who thinks this stuff is good?! (It's rhetorical, of course. The people in charge have an agenda that does not comport with a civilized society). It's just so maddening.

The democrats want more robberies. They want the underclass to waltz in and take what they want.

Bakunin, Mikhail - “The Devil is the rebel of the cosmos.” “In this revolution we will have to awaken the Devil in the people, to stir up the basest passions.” “Our mission is to destroy, not to edify.” “The brigand is the true and only revolutionary in Russia.”
