Carjacking suspects who beat an El Segundo man with a crowbar and set his vehicle ablaze in Hawthorne didn't know they were captured on tape in a 7-Eleven store, police said Wednesday.
Captured on tape. As opposed to captured. Or stopped.
And, of course, multiple feral assailants with a crowbar trump a lone motorist in LA County who's not politically connected, meaning people like you and me...
Something like this happened to me in San Diego back in 1992, just before I retired from the Navy. Driving into the 32nd St Gate mean driving right through the middle of the ghetto, and "incidents" were occurring at an increasing frequency.
ReplyDeleteI had my Ruger Security-Six tucked under my leg, in direct violation of dozens of federal, state, local, and Navy regulations, and when two young socialists bent on redistributing the wealth approached, all I had to do was lay the shiny stainless steel revolver on the dash for them to see.
No more problem.
Glad I decided not to allow remote bureaucrats to make life-and-death decisions for me.
That's what it takes, g. If we could convince everyone to do it, the shadow of fear over this land would blow away...
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed when I think of the Olofson case in that regard. He's a Reservist, but having a quasi-machine gun is a felony? Then they take ACTUAL felons and sign them up for active duty and ISSUE them a full-auto?
When I shot competition on a military base once, I saw the locked amnesty boxes, where troops are supposed to drop any found left-over ammunition, because YOU CAN'T HAVE IT IN YOUR POSSESSION ON BASE. Only the MPs/Shore Patrol, right? That's crazy.
