What scares me, is I live in California... What am I supposed to do if this nut job came at me with a machete? Ask him to kindly wait 10 minutes for officers to arrive? This is why everyone deserves a right to protect them selves from evil people like that guy with a machete. This place is beyond repair. Thieves just smashing into cars and stealing packages keeping it under 950 so it’s just a misdemeanor. Sanctuary cities preventing ICE from deporting real cartel members. It’s out of control. /endrant. Just need a place to breath.
I was born and raised in San Diego, and I relocated to DFW about 6 years ago. Not just for the politics, but it sure didn't hurt.
First thing I did as soon I could was get a Texas DL, registration and plate for my car, and then a carry permit.
As much as I wanted to fight the lunacy, there came a point where being long term underemployed (CPUC chased out all the CA based telco/wireless providers, and are doing their best to do the same to electric providers) due to most of the telecom jobs leaving the state.
There was a guy shooting in the middle of Highland and Hollywood Blvd. a couple years ago. My friend was there earlier that day with her kid. She told me if she was there she would have told her kid to get down on the floor (front seat) and hide behind the engine (in case he shoots).. then run the f'er over. She drove a huge SUV.
Did you read a different article? I'm the first one to shit on cops when they fuck up, but this sounded like a good shoot to me. I saw nothing in the article about a busted tail light.
If your comment is a joke, I'm sorry that it went over muh head. I'm new to the cyber.
To gain votes, power, and leverage over large swaths of the population, liberals constantly pretend to take the side of the lowest elements in society: the penniless, homeless, toothless, jobless, anyone violating any sort of law, those contributing the least value are elevated above the rest. As part of this reality-inversion, they whine that any time an officer has to use force against a perpetrator, it's almost always police brutality rather than justified use of force against a scumbag. Like the accusation of arresting people merely for being black, or "shooting someone for having a taillight out."
Busted tail light is an old cop joke. Cop wants to give you a hard time, pulls you over. When you question why he pulled you over he smashes your tail light and says, "broken tail light"
Even better is erratic driving. They don't even have to smash your tail light. "You mind if we search your car? We can wait for a warrant. It shouldn't take take more than an hour or so."
You do know that the penalties for crimes against police officers are stiffer, don't you? It would naturally follow that the understanding is that police officers are more valuable than the general citizenry. You wouldn't want to dump rounds protecting something invaluable would you?
ABC News had to point out that it was "longer than a foot". NO SHIT! It's a machete. These fuckers know less about machetes than they do guns. Gotta play up the carnage for ratings though.
Relatively detailed account of the incident, but omits the name of the deceased machete wielder...
My hypothesis: said individuals name would identify them as a member of a particular ethnic group, which would run contrary to the media narrative portraying said ethnic groups as "victims of systemic raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacism".
My guess: El Salvadoran or north African/middle eastern.
if you watch the video it's OBVIOUS that the cops were going above and beyond to avoid shooting this guy, I assume because of the optics. There were multiple moments where I think he probably would have been shot if he was just an average white guy (swinging a machete, almost running over cops, ramming cop cars etc...). Instead they waited literally until the last moment when he was about to chop a guy before they shot him.
LOL. Urban Dictionary must've gotten wind of this... I googled "Ann Coulter rule" and a link to UD was first up, and it had the gist of the rule in the subtext, but when I clicked the link, I got the 404 "link not found" page.

I’d love to. I live in NJ. No right to keep and bear arms here.
So, sitting ducks, huh?

My only regret is not doing it sooner.
Hitchhike if you have to. Nothing's holding you back but your own fear.

I want to get the joke. I know this is embarrassing, but please explain it to me. I feel stoopid.

Spez: It ain't a fucking joke.
The wife and I went to Hollywood for a week this summer. Cost me about $4k and 140,000 Marriott points.
Expensive, but effective redpill.
haha ... yep.
Suspect identified as 30 y/o, Dindu Nuffin from South LA.
Another thug bites the dust.

Always keep your car doors locked, pedes. Urban Survival 101.
Not the right type of "person" for their narrative. Very common nationwide now.
“Coulter effect”
We need an assault machete ban!

Cops will only ticket you if they think you can afford to pay. Illegals, homeless, criminals, nah. Taxpayers, mos def.
