That’s a sign to avoid the area unless suitably armed!
The police officers, 5 firing,must have thought he had a deadly weapon.
NO facts at all about why the police intervened. (Defund the Police! ( sarc))
Shortly after we arrived here I needed to borrow a vehicle. A new friend said “Take mine”. When I asked for the key she just laughed. “It’s in the ignition.” It’s the norm here. House sitting, we learned that almost no one locks their doors. I asked retailers about shoplifting. Same thing. No problem at all.
We’re on an island. Miscreants can’t just drive in, steal your car and drive away. It’s really hard to be a stranger in this town for long.
Reading the local Newspaper we noted that the “Crimes” listed in the Police Report were almost entirely Fish and Game violations with ‘Improper storage of crab pots’ topping the list. Everything is listed in the weekly rag. Every call, every parking ticket, every cat rescued, every welfare check. Law enforcement consists of 10 Police officers, 2 Wildlife troopers and a USCG Cutter.
It’s an island. It’s in Alaska. There is no Mall. The weather sucks 300 days out of the year... but it has it’s benefits.
Just look for the George Floyd cathedral. It’s the big gaudy building with the golden calf out front.
Wrangell Island?
RE: mostly Fish and Game violations with ‘Improper storage of crab pots’ topping the list.
Sounds tame but remember in the Music Man where a young man with an issue of Cap’n Billy’s Whizz Bang in his back pocket could slide into a worsening cycle of delinquency and end up in a pool hall all day.
Still happy for your sheltered life up there.
That’s what culture, demographics and a political party that thrives on creating divide and permanent victim caste instead of success, family values and education does to a society. The Democrat operative elites want to create a society of bad instead of good.
No.
Same in my town.
I wonder what our secret is....
Lol.
