Re: No place but Minneapolis
While I agree I would use every advantage available, the quote you refer to was about three LEOs trying to arrest a suspect who was resisting. if three against one isn't advantage enough, somebody is in the wrong business.

Re: No place but Minneapolis
What a ghastly mental picture. I'm sitting here in our quiet, peaceful, safe little gated community 30 miles out of town, just shaking my head at how some people in this country have to live. But as some have said, they're getting what they voted for. These people will have these experiences, then turn around and re-elect the same governors and mayors and legislators.
I'm wondering if eventually this will generate a vigilante justice situation, where residents of a neighborhood will form armed groups to police their areas and (hopefully) beat the living crap out of anybody who dares commit these acts. Sounds extreme, but something's gotta give eventually; this can't go on forever.

Looking at the issue historically, vigilantism is one possible outcome. It occurs where folks have some backbone and refuse to live in fear.03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 11:22 pmRuark wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 10:26 am What a ghastly mental picture.

The other option is total submission and resignation to being victimized whenever the local thugs get around to them. In most of the major cities option two appears to be more likely.

Re: No place but Minneapolis
I intentionally try to avoid "big cities". On the rare occasion I find myself in one, I notice that most people seem to live in a 2 foot bubble around themselves. They walk along not noticing anything or anybody around them. I swear I think I could walk down the sidewalk in a pair of underwear and not be noticed. It is weird.Excaliber wrote: ↑Mon Aug 15, 2022 9:00 amLooking at the issue historically, vigilantism is one possible outcome.

That's why most folks won't even notice if you open carry unless you make it especially conspicuous (full size gun, white shirt, khaki pants). Even then many won't notice.03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Mon Aug 15, 2022 9:19 amI intentionally try to avoid "big cities".

Federal government paid out 250 million dollars for fake meals for kids. The scale of the fraud was unbelievable. Luxury cars, real estate, foreign travel. When they suspected fraud and stopped the payments a court ordered them to continue paying the money out.
