Banks & Targets
We have the second local robbery
in as many weeks without so much as a weapon even being wielded by the local
predators. Bank of America was robbed with a note, and now Target was robbed
with mere words.
According to Larry Hendricks' report
-- excellent, as usual -- four witnesses sat there and watched two people ask
for money, receive money and walk away politely. No threats, no weapon.
Gone are the days when robbers had
to work at their profession. Now, our citizens simply obey whoever asks for
money -- complying to the empowerment of socially-putrid thieves.
Then there are the true accomplices:
businesses who do not let their employees go armed; police and media who foolishly
tell people to give parasites whatever they desire; citizens who've handed their
duty of self-defense over to anyone but themselves; a society that considers
cowardice normal or even remotely acceptable.
Some months back, I was carrying
my full-size .45 in plain view inside a grocery store. (I usually carry concealed
in case note-wielding robbers attempt to take what isn't theirs in my presence
-- to have the upper hand.) A woman probably in her 80's looked at my sidearm
with a touch of shock and asked me, "Why do you have THAT?!"
"In case someone tries to hurt
you in my presence, young lady," I gently replied, reassuring her with
my smile and my calming voice. "Nobody in this entire store could lay a
hand on you right now."
She understood in an instant what
many wishful thinking and illogical "pacifists" do not.
If a certain 4 pilots had had guns
with them on the morning of September 11, 2001, over 5,000 people would be alive
today and our nation would not be going to war.
PS. If you'd like to address the

The black and white cartoon on that
page was done by a member of our organization two days ago, and you have his
blessings to publish it. A higher resolution version is easily available.
