Any recommendations on a good shot gun? Figure I should get it now before BO won't allow me to buy it legally.
We used to shoot looters. Like, non-violent looters. These ******** are violent. Shoot them. Seems like we, as a pussified PC society, have given the green light to this ****.
I don't know that carrying would even help much in this situation. These are mobs of people throwing rocks and bricks and setting fires and stuff. Only so many of them you can shoot.
For the first time in my life I am seriously considering going to buy a gun tomorrow though.
I understand what you are saying. You have to protect yourself, whether it be with a gun, a dog, or some other means. Personally, I have no problem with any person who simply wants to live and let live. But this stuff like what is going on in Baltimore is only going to spread. Our government seemingly has no interest in quelling it, and almost seems to be encouraging this type of behavior. You should protect yourself, the government isn't going to.
So. This is all supposed to because they are "outraged" because they believe Mr. Gray was killed needlessly.... fair enough. Tell me though, where is the outrage when young black men, just like Freddy Gray, are killed needlessly by other young black men for having the wrong color bandanna or some other ridiculous reason these guys come up with to kill each other. The truth is they couldn't care less about Freddy Gray. Its all just an excuse to loot.
This is an omnious sign if Baltimore is any indication of the simmering anger, resentment, distrust and lack of parenting on the streets of big American cities.
The mayor said over the weekend that the protesters needed a safe space "to destroy." She's now backtracking on that, saying the media twisted her words. She is culpable for this for encouraging the low information MORONS to "go destroy." **** her and **** the criminals.
Praying for Baltirmore- for the innocent people there who just want to live their lives.
Saw that.... she accuses the press of.twisting her words? Ummm, no quoting you exactly ma'am.......
Winner-winner chicken dinner. It's not like it's a new idea.
Katrina: Governor Orders Troops to Shoot and Kill Looters
James Joyner · Friday, September 2, 2005 ·
Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco has ordered the National Guard to “shoot and kill” looters in New Orleans.
BUT...in another thread we are discussing Jade helm 15 and the legality of federal troops being used as law enforcement. Indeed, were I still on active duty, I would refuse this order as illegal. Not only does the use of the military for domestic law enforcement rather clearly violate the posse comitatus law but shooting unarmed civilians violates all the ethics of professional soldiering that I learned.
As I have already stated, there are ways to discourage this behavior without the use of deadly force by federal troops and making sure that these criminals remember for a long time how painful it was, would be my main objective.

Lot's of pent-up frustration being let off...looting, rioting, violence, mayhem becoming the norm. It will take years, maybe decades for the city to recover. They're destroying their own shops, their own senior citizen housing blocks, their own infrastructure, their own city. It's about as nihilistic as it gets. This is an omnious sign if Baltimore is any indication of the simmering anger, resentment, distrust and lack of parenting on the streets of big American cities.
That's what the National Guard is for.
I am most disappointed with the incompetent Mayor of Baltimore.
I don't know that carrying would even help much in this situation. These are mobs of people throwing rocks and bricks and setting fires and stuff. Only so many of them you can shoot.

Just remember, there is never any reason a regular citizen would need a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds.....
Oh you know me, I'm a vicious killer who can't wait to fire as many rounds as I can into a school full of children.
Honestly, the only thing that's stopping me is I'm such a klutz I'd probably shoot myself trying to load it or clean it or something. Guess I need to take some classes or something first.
