Twenty-One Foot Rule
« on: June 25, 2020, 09:23:20 pm »
Hi Folks,

I was taught from an early age that THEY CAN ONLY HURT YOU IF YOU LET THEM GET CLOSE TO YOU!

Of course this had to do with friends, family and girlfriends.

It was only later that I read about that 21 Foot Rule.

Please click the link. Watch the two videos. Tell us what you think. I think the Tim Carpenter video falls into this 21 Ft category. They were FOCUSED and had INTENT. The guy with the bat would get a pass,... unless he focused on someone.

WOW!!  I haven't been aware of the Daily Mail before, but it looks like they are competing with CNN to see who can be the most biased and stir up the most trouble with their one sided, stretched "reporting?"

If Perry was the democratic supporter this story would be written to make him look like the victim. They would be posting Fosters Facebook posts.

Strange......in the UK the 'mail' is known as a Right-wing Tory rag :grin:

Hi Folks,

Scary world out there. Getting scarier.

Does anyone believe these high crime cities actually care about law abiding citizens/people (including illegals)? What is their goal? Bankrupt, lawless cities? Vigilantes? Can they even claw their way back?

Better to rule in hell than to serve in Heaven. Paradise Lost!

Look at this kid. Sixteen? Look at his face,... the face of a murderer.

Hi Folks,

More with these young hooligans.

And,... they referred to this 44 year old guy as an *old guy*. That really hurt. He's only middle aged!

Hi Folks,

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Hi Folks,

We haven't seen all this from USA media,... have we?

Knives are like credit cards; don't leave home without 'em and always carry several.

What are you carrying?

It's not paranoia if they're really after you.

I went through a class many years ago that dealt with weapons, distance, and time.  I don't remember a lot of the details, but I remember being very surprised at how quickly a knife user could close a short distance.  Less time than it would take to draw a gun and shoot them.  That's why the police treat a person with a knife as a deadly threat.  Not only can they close the distance on an officer, but they can grab anyone around them and either injure them or use them as hostages.  Jacob Blake, is an example.
Someone really ought to tell them that the world of Ayn Rand?s novel was not meant to be aspirational.
