Hey, hey, hey, let’s not be mean.

We’ve got to be culturally sensitive here. These “folks” were simply exercising an ancient and honored mourning ritual, a tradition brought by their ancestors from the tribal roots of their original countries.

Deaths in many parts of Africa are celebrated the same way to this day.

There is first much wailing and gnashing of teeth, then large crowds gather to march about until a suitable venue is found for trashing, looting, and burning - usually, but not always, in that order..

I could be wrong. I’m not a cultural anthropologist (but I do hold a doctorate, and I’m a keen observer of human behavior).

Perhaps this is a tradition these “folks” derived from their culture in THIS country. There is certainly a LONG history of such events in predominantly “urban American” (that’s an NPR-approved euphemism) neighborhoods.

Two word for those protecting their businesses and homes: AR 15.

Certainly fine, but 223 is designed to injure, not kill.

I’m leaning heavily towards AR-10s now, given Magpul has 25 rounds mags. Additionally, the .308 will go through a typical vest.
