Just another suggestion.  Open your windows and cough/spit on them.

it is where people offer the newer members the benefit of their experience.  of course, being able to clearly express an idea with correct spelling is a requirement.........

Posted a thread about this just a while ago.

I am also wondering where all the environmentalists are. I mean...all that burned stuff can't be good for the earth now can it?

Apparently the police can shoot you now if you are on your own porch.... Yelling "Light em up" like they are walking down the streets of Aleppo.

With paint canisters...in a curfew. Yup, they can.

So if this idiots storm the white house I hope we can get it on PPV. I am sure they got some cool weapons to light them. 

 

Guessing they also got a kick butt RRF ready to go somewhere close.

just a suggestion:  fill everything you can with water.  check batteries in flashlights.  charge your cell phones constantly.  take showers now.
and refrain from opening the refrigerator/freezer if power goes out.

Thank you. We are fine, TIRED, a bit freaked out. Okay more than a bit freaked out. Mom and pop places are being targeted along with the big guys. The cops are saying that it's maybe 20 organized groups roving and looting. They are moving onto Venice now, breaking into places on Abbot Kinney Blvd. They broke into the CVS AT THE END OF MY BLOCK. 

 

My parents are understandably very upset we are here but there is nothing to be done, we didn't have enough time to leave and there's all the COVID19 stuff too of course. No results yet and these will be delayed because testing has been shut down. His mum is frantic because she is so far away. We didn't tell her exactly how close things are, especially the CVS thing. 

 

Going to try to eat something and drink a glass of wine, it's surreal.

Tell her that it was at the Walgreens a couple of miles away.  That'll relax her.

Hawk some major loogies, si LL ma'am -- might as well do something with 'em.  (And where's my upvote, huh ma'am?)

some of the protestors said they are moving to the suburbs. That will be cute. I know what would happen if they started trying to burn properties in my neighborhood.

The great news is that staying home, being controlled in place, and social distancing is over.

 

But I'm with you... last night, I had a sheriff friend of mine giving me some updates from out on the streets about 8 miles from us.  I got out of bed and lined up some equipment on the couch, as well as performed a quick refresher for the wife.  We are ready for rain or shine.

Consider varying the courses based on mealtime.  At lunch, for example, the iron-sighted 30-30 is a great treat, while for a late-night snack, it pales against an AR-15 w/ holographic sight, and vice versa.  

 

The 12 gauge is great with close friends, but those who like to share their thoughts from over 75 yards away may not get your real meaning unless you express yourself with aforementioned 30-30 or AR-15.  But coupled with all the dessert options, that 12 ga will make for a post-meal conversation that everyone will likely remember for years to come.
