The rule here has always been:
1 riot, 1 Ranger.
We should count our blessings that what we see happening all over London would come to a quick and definitive end if it were ever tried in Texas.

And a damn good reason to never stop fighting to preserve our 2A rights, and continue pushing back the remaining infringements.

Re: Riots in London
Sounds like decades of namby-pamby policies have conditioned the police quite thoroughly. The powers that be *ought* to look at the level of second-guessing of the police if they want a different outcome in the futurephilip964 wrote:They interviewed a police chief in the London area. He said he wouldn't order the water cannon on the rioters, because if someone was injured, that decision would be unfavorably reviewed afterwards.
Just because the rioting is dieing down, I don't believe the rioters have learned anything negative from their experiences. I suspect they have enjoyed and profited from it. So I suspect we will see more of it in the future.
