Stupid Media Idea - "We trusted the police to keep it peaceful"

You have to dig a bit in these stories, but the quote from one of the store owners tells you everything you need to know about the underlying assumption.
"There's no police," he said. "We trusted the police to keep it peaceful; they didn't do their job."
Therein lies the heart of stupid. Note that the store owner is saying this "with a large black gun resting on his shoulder". Damn straight. Cops fill out reports, and call the coroner to haul bodies away. It is obviously a bad idea to expect them to stop a crime in progress. Better to prevent the crime attempt in the first place.

Had a weekend coffee meeting with LB this morning, so choose this for my message of the day, and was bemused that some folks glanced at it, but didn't make any comments. I don't really want to meet strangers, but I do enjoy irritating spineless lefties. If one of them is foolish enough to open a tête-à-tête, I always have a bit of time to hammer on stupid. I think of it as productive community service.

Sometimes, the only answer for impending or active violence is violence. A man should choose wisely, but have prepared so that they have the means necessary at-hand.

Since it is summertime, LB and I discussed some options for discrete versus open carry. Perhaps more on that later.

Thus, when we talk about Making America Great Again (#MAGA), the Easy Way or Hard Way (#EWorHW).

Let the man speak for himself. A few of my personal favorites, which should inform our operations as well. Just your average, fun-loving Marine 2. “The first time you blow someone away is not an insignificant event. That said, there are some assholes in the world that just need to be shot.” 3. “I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I’ll kill you all.”

We are at WAR

It is simply acknowledging the existing"state of armed conflict between ... groups within a nation". We productives, veterans, traditionalists from all walks of life have been relentless attacked for years. Because it has been a low-intensity conflict, most of us were more occupied with just living our lives, and the various skirmishes we shrugged off because we had more important things for our time and attention. Man, I'm getting too old for this Sh!t At various point in the last two years, millions of us woke up, which our enemies will forever regret. Different triggers; hateful pejorative labels, flippant slanders, attempted shaming, all aimed at making us kneel, bow down to our enemies. For people who follow a God, or veterans who are trained to bear up under duress and refuse to be be broken, that was a tactical blunder of epic proportions. You pissed us off and got our attention.
