“Law enforcement officials say it’s a nightmare in the making because ordinary, private citizens are getting gun permits.”
Oh Nooo! It’s a nightmare that ordinary private citizens have to get a permit....
I did. Why am I not astonished?
In the UK, that's what Cameron threatened to do. Did he implement it against the arrested criminals already?
Good question.
“Vigilante justice is just another form of moral relativity (unless you are protecting yourself or others).”
Who said anything about vigilante justice? I have no interest in judging lawbreakers. That’s the job of the courts, which aren’t doing their job either.
The stated job of the police is to protect and serve, to assist citizens in the prevention of crime. Unfortunately, they instead seem to be being used to do more third world sorts of things things like seize cameras from people at townhall meetings.
Ultimately, the public pays for these police services and I think we’re going to hear more of a clamor for reduced police forces. If thery’re never around when you need them, why bother to pay for them? Folks who can afford it will have private security. And the rest of us will be on our own. Which if you think about it isn’t much of a change.
F 'em, let the bastards starve.
Load your own. People used to pick the paper cartridges open and dump the lead shot, then put the salt in, re-crimp it, and seal it with candle wax. It was one of the earlier and more painful nonlethal rounds, and was commonly used to discourage pilferers of produce in the south.
The Street Sweeper and Striker shotguns were designed for this sort of mob control using the above tactic, but have been considered 'destructive devices' per the BATF since Lloyd Bentsen was head of the Treasury Dept.
Let's reverse things, to show how utterly evil Rhoades is: "You know, these lynch mobs, with white people hanging blacks... the biggest problem with this is black people are buying guns now.....what if one of them shoots a white person? That would be AWFUL."
Well said, Laz.
“We have people now that are fearful and carrying guns because of children. How sad is that?” Upper Darby police Captain George Rhoades said.”
And
“Now we have this mentality, ‘I'm not going to retreat. I'm not going to call 9-1-1. I'm going to be a vigilante and take care of the problem myself,’” he said. “
This guy is a disgusting piece of trash. Arrest him and sentence him to taking 2 years of Constitutional Law classes; plus American History classes. And not the Bill Ayers kind of American history.
Just sickening to hear a police official talk this way. These a holes are a big part of the problem. He doesn't realize that he; and every other law enforcement official, are hired hands for us citizens.
They work for us; at our pleasure!!!!
United States citizens should never be afraid to protect their selves from barbarians; up to the point of killing them if needed.
It is not a police officer's job to tell us if we should or shouldn't protect ourselves.
What's got the chief worried is this: THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF PENNSYLVANIA HOUSE BILL No. 40 Session of 2011
Sounds good to me:
*****************************************************
Persons residing in or visiting this Commonwealth
have a right to expect to remain unmolested within their
homes or vehicles.
(5) No person should be required to surrender his or her
personal safety to a criminal, nor should a person be
required to needlessly retreat in the face of intrusion or
attack outside the person’s home or vehicle.
Excellent post, a lot of ITGs on here.
the dang chief ought to be glad the public is willing to do his job......
