If I am a 1%’er and I have some rough business to do, why would I want to do it if front of a deployed LE skirmish line?
Some may believe that criminals lack that basic drive of self preservation, I guess.
Why the public display? is about the only part that seems out of character.
Of course remember Las Vegas.
$hit happens.
The primary thing these criminal gangs have is basic drive of self preservation. Their key word is SELF. But like the arabs, stupidly think they are tough enough to get away with starting trouble in front of all.
Now how an obviously good father who raised his son’s to be honorable patriotic Marines, can fall into these criminal’s trap of “help us out” when in fact these criminal gangers would step on you like a bug, is beyond logical comprehension. Stockholm Syndrome?
