I don't think that it is silly at all.

I personally have never seen one obeying any posted limits, one of the many perks of driving an "official vehicle" I suppose.

E&E (escape & evasion) would be my first choice, I'd only stop if I was forced to & I'd only engage if I was engaged first. But once engaged I'd do anything & everything to protect my family, even if that means dozens of rioters had to die to do so.

Agreed, what this really boils down to is simple racial intimidation, on a national scale, we are talking KKK at the height of their power sort of stuff, apparently with President of the United State's & his Department of Justice's blessings & even support. It's clear that this has absolutely nothing to do with "justice" or "civil rights" this is a message to white folks, that they are willing & able to take to the streets over any offense, be it real or imagined.

Yea Twitter is filled with all sorts of reports of J4T related racial assaults, this is one of the few that made the lame-stream media, but only because it was captured by a news crew's camera. http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jul/17/it-was-terryfying-zimmerman-protester-assaults-wom/ Hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets in Houston on Monday to protest against the acquittal of George Zimmerman, but what started as a peaceful rally turned terrifying for one woman who claims she was assaulted while trying to get her daughter to the hospital. “I looked up and I see all the protesters, they’re everywhere,” said Georgia, who asked Click 2 Houston that her last name not be used. “So, we got into the traffic and they’re stopping us and not letting us go.” “My mom rolled down the window,” said Georgia’s older daughter. “She said, ‘We’re trying to get my granddaughter to the hospital,’ and a guy just started hitting her.” A Click 2 Houston video shows Georgia sitting in the front seat of the vehicle with her window down, and you can see a man reach in and grab her chest. Georgia said she was hit.

Yea I'm disgusted with McCain, Rubio & the rest of the RINO's for pandering to this or that race/ethnic group, instead of doing what is in the best interest for ALL Americans. That makes them no better than Democrats IMHO, who's party platform is built entirely upon placating special interests groups instead of what is best for the American people as a whole.

For summer I usually carry either a j-frame or iffin I need something even more concealable, an LCP.

Welp they haven't bothered to write, let alone pass an actual federal budget since Obongo took office, he & his cronies just spend whatever whenever with zero regard for national debt or deficit, it is hard to make "cuts" when there is no actual budget. It has gotten so brazen that they aren't even bothering with "pretending" to act responsible with our money anymore.

As a law-abiding citizen I have zero expectations of any law-enforcement agency ever serving a warrant on my residence, therefore my immediate instinctive reaction would be to protect myself, my family & my home because it couldn't possibly be law-enforcement kicking in my door, but something much more nefarious. I'm not responsible for any mistakes eithe law-enforcement or criminals make by kicking in my door, nor am I going to risk taking the chance of hesitating to ask for ID when fractions of a second literally could mean the difference between living or dying. *Knock* on my door & wait for me to answer it iffin you need to talk to me or summon me for something, *kick* in my door iffin you want to engage me in a fire-fight. It's really that simple.

I've been using a little SOG Fusion Micron for years, they are great little knives.

Dave, I'm guessing because they believe that those black-teen's "didn't do nuffin" and are obviously being set up by racist white CIA agents to make black people look bad ... Believe it or not, but I've heard that particular conspiracy theory an awful lot over the years from blacks to outright dismiss heinous crimes comitted by their fellow blacks. In fact it's so common that I'd bet money that almost everyone on this forum has heard it used before.

Welp from an anthropological standpoint I'd say it was "tribalism" that ultimately destroyed Detroit. Tribalism is really the correct term, unfortunately the term racism has incorrectly replaced it, but it does not accureately reflect the proper dynamics of what is currently happening in American society, because it only reflects a single biased side of the equasion. IMHO the American melting pot experiment has been a massive failure, for what ever reasons folks simply refuse to shed their smaller tribes identities/loyalties in favor of a larger national, "unhyphenated-American" one. The corruption, discrimination, chronyism, etc that goes hand in hand with ardent tribalism, be it racial, political, ethnic, religious, etc, tribalism is what destroyed Detroit & is currently destroying the cohesiveness of our "American fellowship" as a whole. I fear that the balkanization of the United States of America is almost inevitable at this point.

Yup, nothing a healthy-heaping of continuous federal wealth redistubution can't fix, eh comrade?

Unfortunately the rest of America 2.0 is traveling down the exact same "road to ruin" that Detroit blundered down. The same social/political/economic policies & problems that have destroyed Detroit (corruption, crime, white-flight, loss of jobs, unsustainable debt, etc) are mimicked in almost every city & town across the nation, as well as now being implemented on an even grander, national scale, the forecast for our future appears to be one of only despair & desperation, unless drastic measures are taken soon. I do not believe that the majority of American people understand the gravity of the situation, let alone understand what is required to reverse our nation's demise as a "super-power" which oddly enough many on the left (like our POTUS) actually desire. There however is also a very good possibility that the hefty burden of the nation's decline will cause the ultimate balkanization of our union into seperate "nation-states". I do not believe that this can be done peacefully, resulting in yet another war of succession, the left desperately needs to continue to hold the productive members of society captive for their beloved parasites to continue to feed off of.

I didn't see any other topics posted on the city of Detroit yet, figured I'd go ahead and get the ball rolling. Here we have one of the largest & formerly one of the most prosperous industrial powerhouse cities in America, literally laying in ruins, completely unable to pay its debt, unable to meet payrolls, barely able to provide its citizens even the most basic services such as water and electricity & the President, his DOJ and "J4T folk" are marching in the streets of 100 other cities, over an aquital in a local, clear case of self-defense, in the state of FL? I cannot help but notice almost zero media coverage, POTUS comments or DOJ investigations being launched into why Detroit is in the shape that it is in, is it just me or does this whole J4T fiasco/circus seem to be a "purposely manufactured distraction" to anyone else? How else could the city of Detroit filing for bankruptcy not possibly not be the biggest news story on the planet?

Welp the twitterverse is freaking ripe with J4T retaliation reports, I had hoped things would settle down the farther out from the verdict we got, but it appears to be getting worse. I don't think that they are not going to let this one go, at least not without spilling a lot of blood first ...

Shame our tax dollars are being spent by socialists to promote socialism, without those doing so being in fear of being stood against a pock-marked wall by members of our armed forces, or at the very least being tarred & feathered by angry mobs. I had always (wrongly it seems) believed that our military would have protected us from all enemies, both foreign & domestic ...

Welp we can't have a totalitarian system of government without it being "total" now can we? That'd just be irresponsible!

Random attack is just too random ... J4T?

I think folks are getting tired of how out of control the fleas & ticks have become, everyone is starting to realize just how badly America is in need of a bath.

I'm usually soft-spoken, patient & polite, I do have a limit however & once my limit is reached with someone my civility towards them tends to get set aside in favor of a harder, firmer tact.

Part of the problem is that they are graduating functionally illiterate graduates, not just a handful or smattering of them here or there either, large percentages of the graduates all across the nation are illiterate according to some of the data in the reports that I've seen. It couldn't possibly be accidental oversight either, it has to be purposeful, there is no other rational explaination for that sort of phenomena.

*shrug* we also have a serious double standard problem in this country.
