Police carrying guns? How odd ... /sarcasm
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Police carrying semiautomatic rifles patrolled the grounds of the Capitol on Thursday, But ... but ... but ... representatives of the DC government told us that guns were NEVER the answer to anthing. What gives?

I can hear the DC mayor saying "those police will just shoot themselves or some family member"...

I guarantee they ain't "semi-automatic". Probably not. But do they have ammunition?

. Seeing them walk around with machine guns like the Mexican Federales isn't.I still remember my shock of seeing pickup loads of well armed Federales when I stepped off a cruise ship on the Mexican coast 20 years ago.

Industry officials should check out their employees in an effort to root out any terrorists who may have been working there for years, waiting for the signal to strike. *gasp* Profile???

If the cops has upgraded to full autos, can the civilian public upgrade their mace canisters to a .38 snubby?

A friend of mine just said he is carring his duct tape in his car. Says he will duct tape himself in it and drive away. Ha! I think this is a lot of hoopla put out by Saddams friends to take the heat off him. Scare the public so they will turn on Bush.

Tell him to duct tape himself into the car, then...try to to get into the car...then, turn on the A/C because it will be damn hot all sealed up in there!
To: Oldeconomybuyer; mhking; Miss Marple; hchutch
Nobody can't tell me something is not up!
Darn I am getting a little tired of this ....go about your normal business crap...I wish they would just tell us what they know......
And let us deal with it...instead of treating the public like 5 year olds..

My point exactly. Why should the serfs not be able to upgrade their pitiful self-defense hardware if the cops are?

A friend of mine just said he is carring his duct tape in his car. Says he will duct tape himself in it and drive away. If he does seal himself in well enough to be effective I hope he doesn't hit a red light or traffic jam. He'll suffocate while waiting. He's probably got about 3 or 4 coffin's worth of air in there.
