Not sure.


But, karma can be wicked.

They caught one of the perpetrators and justice gave him a slap on the hand and told him to be a good boy. Within a month he overdosed and died.

How long would it take for you neighbors to get there in the wee, small hours of the morning?

Just realized what this thread is about. It is about crime, not about aesthetics or whatever else. Sorry.

They can be related here as an unappealing choice.

It wouldn't take them very long, but that wasn't the point. The neighborhood looks out for one another here. That is a better deterrent. I still have plenty of guns if they were ever necessary.

Ask Barbara how long it took for two strangers to do what they did.

All I'm saying is a person needs to be able to look out for themselves.

I agree John. I don't think owning a gun and looking out for oneself is compulsory though. In fact, I think it unwise... most times. Not all.

The odds are farrrrrrrr greater that your gun will induce harm when not wanted than in the service of protecting you and yours. For this reason, I choose not to think of a gun as protection.

That said, I do have guns.

I hate that shit man. There is no excuse for the ugly harsh lights. All they do is bring down the neighborhood.

That said I live about 2 miles outside of a town of about 6500 people. It's in the country but there are lots of homes nestled among the farms. Just a few lights though...we have a beautiful view of the stars. It's very dark here. But I feel safe. Where I am, anyone who is not supposed to be here would be noticed immediately.
