[DMCForum] Re: a real car nut...

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I look at that article in an entirely different way;

It's not about keeping your car from being stolen. It's not about 
risking your life over a material possession. It's about finally 
standing up to thugs like that and holding them accountable for 
their actions. 

Our society has slipped into the litigation and call-the-cops mode 
to the point where no one even defends themselves anymore. I've got 
news for you people. The cops aren't going to save you. You need to 
save yourselves. I say this from personal experience.

1. During all of the anti-war protests, I watched an Ohio police 
chief say on national TV: "If you're being robbed, or raped or 
assaulted, we are not going to be able to get to you, possibly for 
hours because our resources are over-taxed".

2. I was assaulted at gun-point, and tied up in my own home at 2:30 
a.m. After being tied up, this gentleman attempted to sexually help 
himself to my wife. She kicked the shit out of him. The police were 
very slow to arrive, and when they swept my room for evidence they 
completely missed the 5 rounds of .40 caliber ammo, magazine spring 
and bandana all laying on the floor from when he pistol-whipped her. 
I had to call them on the phone and beg them to come and get this 
potential evidence. This was the Kitsap County police in Wa. State.

My home is now alarmed and I own a 12 ga. shotgun. I don't care if 
you enter my home to seek shelter from a tornado, or to steal a loaf 
of bread to feed your starving children. If you invade my home, I 
will kill you instantly if you disobey my order to surrender.
