Amen. My two men were police. Husband and son Who gave 52 years to citizens in Baltimore city and BaltImore County. We lived through the riots of April 1968, April 2015. Now as years go by, There is nothing peaceful about protests —officers being yelled at while protecting mayor and Governor’s offices and being ordered to stand down—Submit to being wounded by protesters throwing bricks, sticks with nails, broken glass, cinderblocks, and foul insults. In 1968 my husband drove me to work in City and someone heaved a cinderblock toward our car from an Overpass. In April 2015 rioters looted Hundreds Of businesses, and burned residents out for no good reason. Baltimore City never recovered and I left that Hellhole behind in 2018 and Moved to TV Florida I was surprised and GLAD Do you know the number of concealed carry permits people in TV have. SAD DAYS FOR USA That so-called “Peaceful Protests“ are False description of the DESTRUCTION. VIOLENCE PERPETRATED . AND HATRED TOWARD and
MURDERS OF POLICEMEN.

I hung around with a very bad crowd in Reno, Nevada when about aged 14 and one of these boys pointed a loaded BB gun at my eye. This was in his house. I convinced him to try to shoot between my fingers. He missed and put a BB into my left pinky. I plucked it out a few minutes later but far away from this boy.

I certainly remember how much adrenaline I had in that encounter. The boy who shot me had to go into some kind of mental health developmental place after his parents found out what he had done.

I got away from this bad group (who had done far worse than the BB gun shooting to one another) and found books and a great English teacher in Mrs. Barbara Mitchell at Earl Wooster High School in Reno, Nevada. She eventually gave me a small Memorial Scholarship in her late daughter Michelle Mitchell's name.

I do own some guns but would have trouble getting to them quickly as I do not keep them loaded nor anywhere near my bed. Do have many other things that could stop an intruder though. Golf clubs for instance.

These very hard up people of various cities could not afford to get on a plane and come down to the Villages. Most are just trying to survive day-to-day in very troubled areas where they live.

There was no inference or assumption concerning the groups traveling from place to place.

Why would anybody think that?

Most likely (as intended).......in the unlikely event like minded special interest groups "nearby" would target TV.

Taltarzac725 06-24-2020 09:26 AM

Like some gang from Wildwood or Orlando?

They would attack something right at hand if motivated by anger. That is what you see in Minneapolis, Seattle and many other places. They are acting on emotion only.

Charlottesville Car Attack (click here)

Quote:

On August 12, 2017, James Alex Fields Jr. deliberately drove his car into a crowd of people who had been peacefully protesting the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, killing one and injuring 28.

The 20-year-old Fields had driven from Ohio to attend the rally.

Fields previously espoused neo-Nazi and white supremacist beliefs.

He was convicted in a state court of hit and run, the first-degree murder of 32-year-old Heather Heyer, and eight counts of malicious wounding, and sentenced to life in prison with an additional 419 years in July 2019

I thought about how demoralizing and bizarrely upside-down it must feel to have the ‘Big guys’ Like the Mayor or the Governor tell you to

arrest people who are trying to earn a living like shop owners & other people who aren’t wearing masks or staying 6 feet apart

AND then be told by those same decision makers

to stand-down & watch rioters & looters who are stealIng & destroying & endangering the future of entire communities, if not the nation

Crazy.

Gave me a whole new insight into their job requirements.

Crazy? … I don't think crazy; I think evil with an agenda

Villages are armed to the teeth.

Nothing much to worry about other than if u go off the reservation...then carry two guns

The Villages IS like a reservation. One last stop before HEAVEN or the wherever.

Our house has been robbed once. About $2,000 in equipment stolen, never found by Police.

Good one, perfect.

Nobody needs to get on a plane. This is happening in your own backyard..

To the rioters the only way for change is destruction but they, both black and white, have no plans to make effective changes for good or for that matter no ambitions to put the work into that change peacefully.
For myself I will open my arms and mind to those who want to discuss and try and make peaceful changes for the good of all but beware those who force their actions of violence upon my family or myself. I will protect all that I have worked for and loved ones and face the consequences for the defense of such.

Well reasoned. Kudos.

From everything I have read and heard antifa should be banned in the US.

Correction: I'm a white (not by choice) Nationalist, I love this country, am proud of its traditions and history that moves forward in attempts to create a more perfect union. Don't disparage me.

Chatbrat 06-24-2020 10:49 AM

In 1933 Hitler defunded the police so his brown shirts would have a free hand--those who don't know history, will continue to repeat the mistakes of the past

In Nazi Germany any Jew found with a gun & or a knife was executed on the spot

Never again

Also, you can always hire a lawyer, you can't hire a life
