"Uh... Okay... If they start shooting, and you guys can't handle it, come get me, okay?"
"Yeah, I saw that hollywood shootout, if you guys need some better guns, just come ask."
So he shouted at you that a raid was coming forthwith, and it wasn't safe to be outside.Thereby spoiling the element of surprise for his real raid target?Hmmm. Kinda odd.The time it took to have that conversation and the risk that you could tip off the target doesn't jive with just holding the raid for another 45 seconds until you got in your car and drove away.So yeah, Mike: I'll say it - Bastard JBT's. Always out to "control" anything they can without actually engaging a brain cell first.
I'd have told her to go back inside, too.
So now I'm a girl? Nice. No news on what happened, but they were out there (with an APC and at least three dozen guys with rifles) until close to 10AM. Didn't exactly poke my head out and see what happened when they were leaving. I like my blood right where it is.EDIT: Just found out what happened, finally got a Google result.http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/19512587/detail.html
The man's body was found by a passersby at the nearby Ulysses Ball Park at about 5:30 a.m. Police said the man appeared to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Police received a call at 1:30 a.m. about a disturbance involving a man at the Summit View Apartments in the 1400 block of Lunnonhaus Drive.
Went out my front door to go to the store (it's cool enough out for me, I'm to stay out of the heat), lock the door, turn around and start walking toward the parking lot."POLICE!" (somewhere Uh... can I move?"Yes. Where are you going?"Groceries."Is it an emergency?"No."Get back in your house, it's not safe to be outside right now."Breakout? (I live near a prison)"No. Raid. Back in the house."Ok. Be safe, fellas.....I just wanted food.
Sunday it felt a little better, but it was quite irritated from me rubbing it.
If you watch any of the really early episodes of the Porter Waggoner show she was in (1967) it's very clear that he was well endowed.
Just wanted to give a forum thumbs up to Dick.
Should have just ordered delivery, those guys are expendable.
We have concrete walls, I wasn't too concerned.
So the Denver cops needed 30+ guys and an APC to take care of a situation that should have required little more than a squad car or two and a competent negotiator.Can anyone say "Swatting flies with a hammer"?
Interestingly, I was once a delivery guy, and I was the victim of just such a joke. Not very funny, and I'd chop the arms off the perp if I knew who it was.
Ordering delivery during the middle of that debacle would have been genius....
Where are you going?GroceriesIs it an emergency?
