Just the perception of an armsd citizenry makes an effective crime deterrent. 25 yrs ago we loved near Chester, NY, about 65 miles NW of NYC. The city started warehousing some of their homeless at a property they owned there. Suddenly there were a rash of muggings, assaults, burglaries, etc. In what can only be described as either cluelessness or shrewdness a councilman told the local media he was “shocked and concerned” about the sudden increase in sales of shotguns at the then newly opened Dicks nearby as well as an increase in CCP applications being submitted to the Orange Cty Sheriff’s office. Overnight the crime rate in Chester plummeted, NYC ended the practice of bussing homeless up there and Mayor Giuliani decided to sell that property at over a $1 million loss.

Given the rampant sex abuse and child molestation that’s been a poorly kept dirty little secret in the sleazy World of show biz for over 100 years, no wonder why the overpaid mannequins love to throw their star power behind the gun grabbers. Looking pretty in front of the step and repeat backdrops parroting the same tired meaningless rhetoric about the nonexistent epidemic of gun violence. After all potential sex abuse victims who can shoot back are BAD FOR BUSINESS.

The a-hole leftist Hollywood hypocrites need to remove all guns from movies and make their gun finger and go “bang,bang,you’re dead”. It’s still acting.

Most of the productions coming out of Hollywood could not be made were it not for the liberal and excessive use of gun violence. If you are not packing heat in these movies, you are a wimp, just plain dirt.

And the one’s in the movies who use guns are against it when off screen.

5.0 seemed to be a mixed bag philosophically.

The classic is still better than the current version.

No series is perfect.

I remember the preachy Quincy episode better than the SF one.

I had a Niece back then who was around 10.

For some reason she really disliked Wo Fat. I mean she really didn’t like him.

I remember a “crazy veteran” sniper episode of Five-O in which they find the sniper pushes his shell casings into the ground to form a heart with “Mom”.
Even as kids we were hooting in dersion.

Hypocrisy is literally a foundational element of leftism.

Matrix 1. Matrix 2. Matrix 3.

John Wick 1. John Wick 2. John Wick 3.

At least Keanu Reeves is not himself a particular hypocrite.

I’ve learned to appreciate Beverly Hills Cop.

For however long it lasts on youtube, Fred Dryer’s Hunter has a lot of episodes up. It was a show I sort of liked then. Now I enjoy the show a lot more.

The same goes for 5-0, the o-rignal.
