Always armed with something. Most people have cell phones these days and can call immediately.

I think that's a waste of time. I tried calling 911 a couple of weeks ago while watching a road rage guy threaten another driver with a car.... in the middle of a busy road that he had stopped in the middle of. The 911 operator (a member of Jessie's minority) was like.. you can't file a complaint unless he's waving the gun at you. Seriously.... I finally hung up on her after about 30 seconds of frustration. Fortunately the guy didn't shoot anybody. But if I had shot him or something.... I'd be in jail for taking the law into my own hands.

Did the guy actually have a gun? 9-11 is definately different in other parts of the country then.

To show you how bad it is getting, at least in Kalifornia, there were some young drivers speeding around our neighborhood endangering the kids playing nearby. We called the police which in this case is the CA Highway Patrol. The speeders were long gone by the time the officer arrived but he informed me that I should confront these law breakers in the street with a 2X4 and if that does not stop them to, get this, throw the lumber through the car's windshield as it drove by! Not that the thought of assulting these dumb-a** kids has never crossed my mind, I told him that I thought he was kidding when he wisely (?) informed me that if the neighbors stick together and claim that "We didn't see a thing" it would all work out to our benefit. He argued, "That's what the criminals do, why can't you?" I was shocked to say the least. So far no wood throwing incidents have been required.
