Sheep, Sheepdog, or Wolf?

[mikeylikey]

^ OK, but when everyone is looking for a confrontation around the next corner, that leads to what was known as pre-civilization.  The whole "I have to get him before he gets me, is a ruination of our western society.  We need sheep, we need things to eat the sheep.  Crime is part of culture, how we stop crime is to curb it early in the life of the son or daughter.  Also, get rid of the crack, it really is getting bad out on the streets.

Oh and stay in school kids.

The whole "I have to get him before he gets me, is a ruination of our western society. 

For most of us, it's as simple as "Don't pull your gun or knife on me and say 'gimme your money' and I won't shoot you first". Complying with a criminal will not always cause him to spare your life. Statistically, you probably won't be murdered this year. but it could happen, and you're highly unlikely to receive a post card in the mail a month ahead of it warning you to prepare.

From my personal experience, most violent criminals carry a weapon at least some of the time. Most law-abiding citizens do not. We, as individuals, have the power to save ourselves. I don't believe crime MUST exist. I believe it will always exist, but not that it is required to exist.

One of my instructors when I was in the police academy made a very true statement that I have not ever forgotten (nor will I ever forget it). "The only reason any of us are alive is because no one has decided to kill us yet".

I'm not a proponent of a paranoid 5 pistol, 12 knife toting public (you know those guys), I'm just wishing people would wake up and see what's going on around them and realize that they might be able to stop something bad from happening to themselves in the future.

True. And meth. It's gotta go. Everyone who uses crack or meth had to start at some point, and I just don't understand how. We've all seen crack heads and pictures of meth addicts. Who says "That's who I want to be"?

^OK....I see your view.  It is similar to others here that I read.  I just don't get that if we always had the "when is someone going to try to kill me" hanging over our heads......would life be worth it.  

Our society faces much worse than homicides in the next few years.  Terrorists are not even going to be a factor in the future......it will be the third world war.  The Sheep people against the Chinese.

It really starts out of boredom and pressure.  I never understood it either.  What is the appeal?!?  Its like waking up and deciding to take a freaking baseball bat to your own face each and every morning.  Good God, why don't we actually start the "War on Drugs" with a war.  We know there are drugs being imported from Mexico and the wastes that are below Mexico (mostly Venezuela) and bomb the crap out of them.  Reagan started the War on Drugs, If I am elected PREZ.....I would push for the eradication of all the growing fields in the south American countries were they exist and the mass (Gitmoesque) roundup of all the bad drug people in those countries.  Heck.....just wheel it into the whole "War on Terror".  Might as well.

We're not worried. There's only about 6 trillion or so Chinese.

As a cop for almost 36 years I wish every good citizen were armed. After all the bad guys are.  Point in case for carrying if you can...

Lubleys Cafeteria in Texas some years back.....A woman who had a concealed carry permit went for lunch with her parents. She left her gun in her car.  A crazy gunman started shooting up the place. She did her best to try to get her parents out of the way.....however her dad was shot and killed by Mr Crazy. Had she not left her gun in the car, her father may have survived the incident along with the others who were slaughtered.

San Ysidro, CA...circa 1980  another crazy shot up a McDonalds killing many including an infant....if only an armed citizen were there to stop the carnage.

As Lt Col Jeff Cooper once said...."An armed society is a polite society."

Currently before the US Supreme Court is the issue if Washington D.C. (murder capitol) can continue to ban the ownership of handguns as they have for the past 30 years. A spokesman for the city said the ban must be kept in place because something like 70% of the murders in D.C. are done with handguns!!!!!     HUH........They banned them 30 years ago, so how come so many folks are being killed with handguns still........OH yeah, criminals are really worried when they MURDER someone that they might be in violation of a ban to have a handgun.    That's real logic......

Blaming guns for crime is like blaming spoons for Rosie O'Donnell being fat.

Jeff Cooper (RIP) also said " It's a good thing there were no armed citizens inside the (San Ysidro) MacDonalds, otherwise someone might have got hurt!" He had a gift for truth and clarity.

That young lady was obeying the Texas law of the day which prohibited carry in a restaurant.  She subsequently got elected to the Texas legislature and was instrumental in re-writing the state concealed carry laws.

Much work is yet to be done.

Thanks for sharing that.

Like the old saying: "If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns".
