AP: Some stolen US military guns used in violent crimesPulling a pistol from his waistband, the young man spun his human shield toward police. “Don’t do it!” a pursuing officer pleaded. The young man complied, releasing the bystander and tossing the gun, which skittered across the city street and then into the hands of police.

Hopefully they’re vaccinated! 😉

Police say that fighting wasn’t always as savage as it is now. When governments keep giving free housing, there is no incentive for to get up in the morning to go to work, or to find employment. You make your own equities when obligations cease. Moveable feast.
