Oh No! Granny! That’s terrible! Wish I was closer so I could put my range time to good use! Damn it! <<<
Thank you.
There was a time when I would have handled it myself and they would have been fertilizer for a new tree.
Today, it would have meant involving someone to get rid of the evidence of a crime, for there are nearby houses and it is not safe to fire guns, unless one is very steady.
I am never admitting that I owned a gun.
For the first thing you will hear on the police scanner when the dispatcher sends an officer to an address, is how many guns, swords, knives or other weapons there are at that address.
And all the addresses/calls are not of a criminal nature.
Lucyt had a Welfare Check ran on me a few months ago, when I was off the internet for awhile.
Freepers cut to the chase, LOL, they are wonderful people.
No, I do not like the pit bulls either and didn’t before I had to deal with this week.
People do not realize the power they have and they are at the ready, all the time.
The brindle one that went to jail, was a nursing mother, so more are on the way.
Coyotes have always come by, looking for a cat to eat, that I understand, wild animals do as they are taught to survive, but these pit bulls had collars on and were well fed dogs.
Rest and do be careful.

Poverty in Argentina: Some numbers that make little sense
According to the very questionable INDEC, that favors the government:
*50% of the people under 18 years of age in Argentina are poor. This does not include the people that are indigent (people that lack the basic needs such as the minimum amount of calories per day to stay alive and a home)
*10% Of the Argentines are indigent. Back when the INDEC was a reliable source of information before Gillermo Moreno and his thugs took over it, the number was 20%
*The amount of shantytowns, camps made of shacks with pieces of cardboard wood and debris, tripled since 2001.(doesn’t add up with that 10% indigent number)
*46% of the indigent receive “some kind” of help from the government. (May be just a couple bags of food, usually a packet of formula for babies)
*17% of the poor receive “some kind” of help from the government (the social plans are usually 300 pesos, less than 100 dollars, and those mostly are used to pay the political foot soldiers that can be seen in campaign rallies)
*According to the INDEC’s own numbers, taking into consideration the amount of poor, indigents and the amount of money spent each year in social care, 50% of what is spent each year in social plans would be enough to give each poor family a yearly salary that would put them out of the poverty line.
Meaning, with the amount of money spent by the Argentine government in social plans (the ones you just don’t see anywhere), it would be enough to end poverty in Argentina… TWICE.
We have one of the largest tax in the world, 21% for everything, plus savage income taxes, taxes for services and luxury goods.
They take the money, they milk the middle class, they just don’t spend it where they say they do.
