Words fail me.

Not me.  But Art's grandma says I cannot use the ones I want to.

This reminds me of the feral "children" of (f)GB.  I am waiting for the term to start being used over here.  (Someone wake me up when it finally happens.)

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

fingerprints already on file.  They've already got a history.

I used to call stuff like that a case for the "5 cent solution" but I'm out of date on the cost of commercial ammo.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

I already knew that they're were criminal 18YO's, so the take away for me is: if you're going to try and help folks out* go violent enough,  early enough to make sure you win.

*I know there are differing views on trying to help strangers while CCWing,  and everyone needs to make their own call on that.  Personally,  I hope I wouldn't stands by and watch someone get beaten if I could stop it.

I've used the term "feral youth" on several occasions . . . I did not originate the term, but heard it used decades ago when applied to the offspring (usually illegitimate) of urban gangstas and their wimmin.

Somehow, the phrase "punishment to fit the crime" keeps popping into my mind.
WHATEVER YOUR DEFINITION OF "INFRINGE " IS, YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING IT.
