Indeed, they want us to call 911 so Sharpton can decide which criminal is going to be let go and which not. Your city and Dog the Bounty Hunter work for you, in our new “humane” policing and favoritism treatment system... Not.

Thou shall not sober up criminals into good behavior by pulling guns: government.

If armed citizens stop crime then we unionized police will lose our jobs.

Nothing frightens those in political power like vigilante justice. The ruling elite are absolutely frightened by armed citizens who are willing to use their weapons against anyone who the citizens feels violates the laws.

Once can understand the fear of armed citizens, when you look closely at all the political leaders who feel that they are above the law.

The second amendment has nothing to do with duck hunting.

The police in Athens spend most of their resources arresting college students for drinking beer. It’s much easier, safer and more lucrative than catching the actual criminals.

“This is 911- What is your emergency ?”. “I would like to report a dead robber” “ He is polluting the sidewalk in front of the convenience store where I shot him”.

Check me if I’m wrong....but didn’t all three
of these incidents involve the dialing of 911,
AFTER the gun was used to preempt the predatory
action? If 911 was not being called....how the
hell did the cops know about these incidents.

More PC BS sheeple food is all this is.
