I EDC a G19 stacked 15+1 and yesterday I left the house without my spare magazine, I felt under gunned all day with “only” 16 rounds on my person, I wonder if that says more about my mentality or the state of our republic?

Ive committed no crime, no reason to stick around to be treated like one
Interesting, not a single mention of needing more gun control. Refreshing, and surprising from an ABC station.
Is that the one where the guy was like an ANTIFA ranking member and his wife refused to identify the race of the attacker for whatever woke reasons?
(as if refusing to identify the race of a perpetrator isn't an instant indicator of their race)
If so, then shit, if they like it, I love it.
No this guy was in a suit with his wife in a dress like they were on a date. Sitting on a bench outside. Dude walks past and then something happens as they were walking by and dude and suit start talking. Sit shoves dude away as he's advancing and dude just cuts him. I'll try to find the video somewhere.
If you are out at 4 am in Brooklyn sometimes bad shit is gonna happen. Poor choices lead to poor results. Her behavior and seemingly indifference was odd. But we probably all react differently to that kind of thing.
Yeah, but they are/were both defund the PD Antifa folks.
Oh i didn't know that. I just saw them sitting there minding their business. I guess if that's their views, karma came at em hard.

Ah, the ol' "nothing good happens after midnight" dictum. Very true.
Well I could be out at my fire pit at 4 am and likely be pretty safe. But out at certain areas or places adds some risk. Seems like common sense to me, but I guess when I was 19 and wandering around Queens with college buddies I wasn‘t so wise. 🤨

Yes.. But the addendum to this is that's a two way deal..
One-of-these-years folks are gonna get enough.
And if they know they're gonna be raked over the coals by the media and 2-Tier unJustice System,
they may see that as an invitation to go full Berserker.. Could get sporty.
To each their own but for the life of me I can't see why in the world people volunteer to live in these metro areas.
I'll be donning my asbestos suit now.. 🥴😅
I just read both of these articles and then read another excellent oneAnother good article by Greg:
This is what most folks don’t understand about serious criminals. The fact that the victim of the crime would be affected in a negative manner is not even an afterthought. Your feelings and concerns mean absolutely NOTHING to this criminal. He doesn’t care if you live or die, let alone how “inconvenienced” you will be if he takes all of your stuff or beats you within an inch of your life. If you literally had ZERO concern about the well being of your neighbors and fellow humans, what kind of atrocities would you be capable of committing? That’s something that few people consider.

How to Spot a Bad Guy- A Comprehensive Look at Body Language and Pre-Assault Indicators

Some of you on here know a little about me. I can tell you these 3 articles are spot-on. I've done patrol, worked UC and plainclothes for almost 30 years. I can tell you for a fact they chose you for a victim based on your appearance, situational awareness, and current conditions. You can wring your hands and cry all you want, they will only respect the tougher animal. Not your wife, not your kids, not your Pastor, not your "I voted for Bernie" or BLM t-shirts, just the tougher animal. They may not be able to read, but they can add up "risk vs reward" very quickly, cause that's their business 24/7. Make your price too expensive and they'll move on to the next watering hole.

normalcy bias. he's dying in front of her and she's believing things are going to stay normal. it's unfathomable that somebody would have just perforated his vitals, so it must not have really happened.
I taught for a while at a small private school in a fairly affluent NC city and noticed that numerous parents were actively teaching their children to be predators. They were not punishing them for doing evil but rather were punishing them for getting caught doing evil. Everything a child did was OK with the parents as long as the child was not caught. I am sorry to say that the school administrators shared that same philosophy. I was glad to get out of that situation.
Right vs real
If a kid is getting picked on in school, he should...
Right- let a teacher know. The teacher punishes the Bully and makes him apologize, the boys become friends and everything is right with the world.
Real- the kid tells the teacher. Teacher does nothing. The kid gets labeled a snitch or tattle tail and losses all his friends only to be picked on by everyone from now on.
-If the kids punches the Bully in the face, he gains respect and probably some friends. The Bully stops and decides a weaker victim is easier. The kid will be caught and punished but the benefits outweigh the consequences.
Kid had now learned how the world works. Following the "rules" is for suckers and he now knows the REAL rules that will dictate his future to help him never be a victim again.
This carries over into adult life more often than not.

Right: My kid defends him/her self. School throws a sh*tfit over it. I stand next to my kid in solidarity regardless, even if suspended. My kid and I go out together for awesome meals and ice cream. My kid still keeps up on his/her school work the entire time of the suspension. My kid goes back to school after the suspension period is over. My kid gets laughed at by the bully for being suspended. My kid makes eye contact and says "I'll do it again."
Game over.

A coupe of other situational awareness points: 540 awareness (360 around us and 180 top to bottom), and the three points of scanning (hands, waist, eyes). The bad guys do this, too, when they are assessing a) if you are a threat or potential victim, and b) can they get away with it.
Obviously being alert and having pegged someone suspicious looking in most settings can avoid confrontations, as well.
Certainly, it's difficult to say that this actually works objectively for the average individual because the reality is the average person does not deal with violent, or potentially violent, encounters on a routine basis. So the fact that one has apparently positively identified someone as a person of criminal intent and thus dissuaded said person from an altercation is anecdotal at best.
I believe my wife and I avoided just such a potential encounter years ago in Atlanta when walking through a parking garage. I was alert for a variety of reasons, had pegged someone visually as a very suspicious looking individual based on a variety of factors, and he knew I had noticed him. I was also obviously aware of the rest of my surroundings, being alert for possible other people. We passed through to our vehicle and left without incident.
Did I actually identify someone looking for a victim? Maybe, maybe not. If so, was that a significant factor in preventing a violent encounter? Maybe, maybe not. Was he alone or working with someone else? Maybe, maybe not. There's a whole lotta "maybe, mayb not" factors here.
Regardless, being alert means more options, and that's a good thing.

None of it is objective; that is, none of it is measurable. Every bit of it is subjective, and it's all dynamic in the variables.
Strange that the "gang" in the video have obviously somewhat planned the event....who will do the beating...who will get the cash register...and who will grab whatever they can grab.
But why were they not smart enough to bring bags to load the small shelf loot into? They could have quadrupled their haul.

If only the store contained some sort of bags... but we all know bags are causing climate change so they're probably unavailable.
