PolishDave Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 3 minutes ago, Johnny Hammersticks said: Oh, so someone has to be “ghetto” to be crazy enough to shoot you or stab you? Pretty ignorant statement if you ask me. No they certainly don't have to be ghetto for sure. I am just point out that it is logically silly to assume you are likely to get shot in that scenario. You aren't. In some situations your odds of getting shot are higher (like perhaps in a situation where you are in a ghetto or another higher risk scenario) I don't see this is one of those high risk scenarios. But regardless of whether the odds were very high or very low, I still applaud any citizen who has the balls to stand up against it as it is happening and actually take action. I think it was the right thing to do. I wish more people had the courage to do so. There would be less crime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lean left (classic: labor, classic conservation, equal rights, etc...) Sound conservative. You are spot on. The elites don't care, they can use $$$ to escape the reality of these situations. Who cares if inadequate loss prevention drives up prices. They buy their way out of it while the working slob digs deeper into the abyss... Suffering from retail/food deserts, educational wastelands where nobody has skin in their community they serve. It's their right to buy their way out. Until the boosters come prowling around their bought sanctuaries everything is find and dandy and everybody should just get along. This is where I break strongly from My Liberal nut job base (believe it or not, they are worse than me.). FWIW, justna matter of time it happens to them.

Just Jack Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 In my situation, I was having a bad week. So when I heard the HD LP person yelling for help, and saw I could help out, I jumped into action, along with three other guys. Together we took down two perps. The cops got their getaway driver who left them behind. That one incident helped turn my week around, I was glad I jumped in to help, and I would probably do it again if able. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, well then what about your responsibility to your family to, you know, stay alive and put food on the table...love your wife...provide your children with love and guidance? How would your family feel if you got greased by some dirtbag in the HD parking lot while trying to be a hero in stopping some petty crime? Further, how do you think a police officer would respond if you asked them how they would feel about you intervening in a similar situation? I suspect they would tell you to stay safe and call the police...maybe get the plate number if you could? a good part of what is wrong with society today. there was a day and time where we took care of one another. no wonder we're all *****. meh, leave it for someone else to take care of.

By no means am I anyone to look at for an example in society or a role model but I will, when given the opportunity now, allow for a greater good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re not talking about an old lady getting mugged here. We’re not taking about a child being abducted. We’re talking about a dirtbag (probably drug addict) stealing some tools from Lowe’s. I’ll come to the defense of an old lady being assaulted or a child who needs my help, but when it comes to petty theft I’m staying out of it. Not worth the risk. When I worked at a furniture store on Lyell Ave in Rochester, we used to get these “boosters” at the store all the time trying to sell stolen goods. All crack/meth heads. All folks who would slit your throat for 10 bucks. No thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re obviously not familiar with the mentality of a crackhead ? These are not rational thinking people. They don’t care about being confronted. Hell, they don’t even care about being arrested. These people are not robbing from Lowe’s to bolster their tool collection. They’re doing it to sell the stuff to get money to buy drugs. Try and stand in the way of a crackhead and getting their fix. I’ll see you on the news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll take video or do what nominal thing I can unless it’s egregious, but there are too many peeps on PCP or something else with a gun for me to get too involved. I wish I didn’t know quite so much about this, but I know it's not worth it. I promise. Loss of life is not worth it....for stuff. I’ve seen the drug parade, had loved ones shot.
