“But, arresting them?! That is over the top.”
Hysteria and over reaction is a way of controlling people. In Walmart a liberal saw the top of a concealed carry gun and hysterically yells, “Look out, he has a gun!” Then she keeps on yelling. Deputies were called. The CCW customer was banned from Walmart and the woman looked all smug and satisfied. I’d have arrested her as she could have precipitated a shooting when the deputies, who were already in the store, arrived. After I related this incident another Freeper related a similar event.
I stayed to verify to the deputies that the CCW holder had not done anything wrong, but the deputies were not interested in talking to me. Incidentally, I had a .380 in my pocket in a sleeve so as to disguise its shape. I’d love to carry a more effective gun but then you run the risk of running into this stupidity.
So, hysterical over reaction is both satisfying and effective. I saw this building in my Fortune 500 workplace as smaller and smaller, even meaningless events, could result in a letter in your file or even dismissal. I received a quiet and very serious warning from the HR manager about “politically incorrect thinking.” Seriously.
Is this is new form of SWATTING?
