I've always been pro LE, that has faded in the last decade or more. I have to tell myself that 90% do a hard job well. I hope that number isn't a whole lot lower, maybe it is, who knows.

Yes. Private citizens stop crimes every day even if all we do is lock our doors when we leave the house.

And yes, that also means I think gun free zones is an idiotic idea.

Gun free zones kill people. Every study will confirm this.

Careful being a gun advocate and pushing studies...they aren't good for your wants.

Fish on...

There is no doubt that studies can be cited that make gun control seem to be productive in reducing violence.

There is no doubt that studies can be cited that make gun control seem to be counterproductive in reducing violence.

There is no doubt that a study can be designed to produce a desired result.

There is no doubt that if a study does not produce the desired results that it can be massaged or redesigned or not be published.

And don't forget, "God may have made men, but Samuel Colt made them equal".

Very true blackmouth. Virtually all mass shootings happen in gun free zones, fact.

Anyone that believes criminals are dissuaded from using their stolen gun to commit violent crime is not only a sh.itstained liberal idiot but too stupid to vote.

Chicago is a prime example of failed liberal policy. In fact every urban area in every liberal hell hole is a prime example of failed democrat dictatorships. The left has completely failed the inner city, minorities, business and everything they've touched but they still fancy themselves the moral authority on all things race related. The left is nothing more than a vocalization of failure and the personification of stupidity in action. Despite their repeated failures they are incapable of acknowledging that their policies are damaging entire cities, ruining the foundation of family and making a mockery of the constitution. The pendulum is swinging back and hopefully it'll decapitate a large percentage of the screaming and shouting lefties in the process.

The left is a bunch of queers.

That's a nice Cutty though

BELTED deep to center field......it's going....going...GONE!!!!!!

Another Grand Slam by ReefSkunk against Evo.

The training staff is hard at work increasing the speed on Evo's fast ball. Also trying to get a little movement on it.

As is, sitting the ball up on a Tee doesn't seem to be working out that well for him.

not even a bunt...

so, if we are the ones that are supposed to stop crimes, and the police are just there to investigate, then,

WE have to decide whos good and who isnt...

WE have to stop and get out and do something when something happens, not sit there with your fvckin phone and record it and put in on Worldstar...

WE have to take our communities back...

basically, WE, have to do the job that some of us thought the police were supposed to do...

so when something happens, its now YOUR fault...

if its not, have fun profiling, because thats exactly what you have to do to prevent crime....

You need to be at the right place at the right time. I befriended a local who has been fishing this river his whole life 50+ years. Your best shot is at the mouth of the river on the south side, breakers only 30 yards away. Another good place is up in the Ghost forest where they are close to the spawning grounds. It's not a river that you're going to get into fish all day. If you want that it's only a 10 minute drive to the Hump. I don't like fishing around People and avoid it at all cost. Another huge advantage that I've noticed is getting up super early in the morning, you'll have a way better chance of hooking up. Nobody seems to know how big the run is. You can actually keep two wild Coho a day which is unheard of these days. Does anyone here know how big this run is? I'm dying to know. Most People just fish right off State # 109 before hitting the bridge. Last year a good morning with about 12 People fishing would catch around 6 fish on a good day....not the normal though. In January of 1700 a quake of 9.0 hit this area and dropped the landscape 6 feet and caused a tsunami that hit Japan and killed 15k People. We're due for another, they estimate there will be one every 300-600 years. This area is on the Cascadia fault line.

Go look at the tsunami hazard map. Might want a bug out plan. And be quick about it. Only got about ten minutes after the shaking stops. That whole basin needs to invest in vertical evacuation buildings. Ain't getting out in time in a vehicle.

But that would mean investing in the peasants and infrastructure and not corruption.

The book "Cascadias Quake" may be the scariest book I've ever read. It explains how they dated the 1700 quake.

Evo,

Short of setting up stings how can cops prevent a crime?? Got any examples of cops preventing a crime? Would you prefer cops park in your driveway to make sure you're not robbed?

And how do you decide who's good and bad? "I shot him because he's a mean looking black dude?" OK. But please don't shoot Richard Sherman or Cam Chancellor. I know they look mean and all but they are actually really good dudes.

And who are you taking your community back from? You have roving bans of ruffians beating up little old ladies for their pension check?

Think dude!

Where was this store and when did it close? I don't remember it as a kid clamming with the family.

So Blackmouth, what's the answer? How do we keep the bad guys from getting guns and committing crimes with them?

You can't prevent it completely, but the best defense is a well armed civilian population. Criminals fear an armed, trained and prepared civilian population way more than the police. Infact the criminals count on the public relying on the police to protect them, those people make good victims....

I've never claimed to have all of the answers, and I think that it would be wise to recognize that evil will always be present. Having said that we could start by enforcing the laws that are currently on the books and if some laws are no longer relevent we should revoke them.

And there is merit to---------

this line of reasoning.

If everybody was armed, trained and confident we would have no need for police as there would be very little crime, legalize all narcotics as well and you have almost no crime at all. Occasionally people would off each other for mere disagreements but it would happen at a very low level.

Ultimately, actually very quickly the population would conform to a "mutual respect society", where guns would rarely need to be used, people would just get along because being a prick or criminal would not he tolerated.

Must have been close to the church in the same area.
