Compton 'ambush' leaves 2 LA County sheriff's deputies 'fighting for their lives'

My GG Grand Father Sykes Bruton was the sheriff of Horry County in 1842. He and his family were recruited here from Bruton's Parish Virginia to stop hog stealing.
He hanged one every Saturday morning and one Saturday when it was raining he hanged one by dropping him down the stairwell at the court house.
The stealing Stopped.

Guess the thief’s figured they shouldn’t “hang” around them parts anymore.
 
Way back when NYPD started issuing ballistic vests, the criminals started taking head shots

NYPD looked into bullet resistant class for patrol cars but was cost prohibitive.

You ever hear the joke about the old granny who gets stopped by a cop, asked about weapons and pulls out everything from a .380 to a .44 magnum? The cop asks, “my god, what are you afraid of?” The old lady responds, “not a f*****g thing”.

Acknowledge this and plan accordingly.

Let's go back to public hangings on Saturday mornings.
And with TV/cable we can interrupt the regular programs so you don't even have to be there.
Put lead pants on a few and pop some heads off for good measure.

Go back to chain gangs cleaning the ditches, I grew up with those working by the house when I was young.
My parents told me what they were and I figured out I didn't want any part of that.

Harsh?
Hell yea, life is a bitch if you let her be one.

TV/Cable?
Okay boomer.
How about instead of getting weather alerts popping up on my phone, my home alarm, and my tv all at once (or amber alerts, or emergency alerts)... my phone suddenly starts beeping and displays "John Smith, a convicted child molester, and Joe Blow, a murderer, have both been executed by hanging at 12:00 p.m. today. The following video is of their final moments..."

Actually, if you could stop that part of the chain the thug population would decrease after a generation. Sadly the .gov subsidizes that, so we're always going to get more bad results.

Yes, that would help but not every single mom is bad. Some are trying to do the right thing.

A lot of them hand their babies off for their mothers to raise. The problem with that is the ones having babies now, having been raised by their grandmothers, are handing them off to the women that were too sorry to raise them.
 
Deputies arrested a TV news reporter at the hospital as she was taking phone video, she had press credentials on her necklace and told them but they tossed her to the ground and into the patrol car.

But they said that she didn't have the proper credentials, which she admitted, and she was told several times to get back from the ER entrance.

"press" is a fluid thing and any one of us have all the same 1A rights as any newspaper journalist.
That being said, a journalist should be a documentarian. purposely blocking the entrance to promote an agenda and knowingly endangering lives is not really a protected act. I have no idea if that's what the girl was doing, but it seems if you keep doing it after being told... the cops are going to be able to make a decent case.

that about sums it up. I feel a certain mix of those things when I see a lot of stuff these days. but throw a bit of revulsion into the mix for this situation and the people being jerks about it.

You don’t get to this point in a society without some fundamental things being very wrong. You don’t get to where large segments of the populace want other people dead because of who they are without something fundamentally wrong with the society. Yes, there is an issue with what is being taught, lack of morals, etc, but there is also a long string of abuses on the part of the State and in some “communities” they’re not going to just get over it and every perceived act just adds fuel to their anger.

I guarantee if all those Grannies were armed and ventilated a gang banger every time they tried to do anything, it would make a difference.

I'm sure it would but I doubt those Grannies could afford that much ammo.
 
I don't think a public hanging would have a great effect on crime rates. And I personally think we already have too many prisons and too many people in them. (people who have committed "victimless" crimes)

Based on what I've seen, the big issues we have all start with the family and community. Broken families, and broken communities. And government programs don't fix it. In some cases, they make it worse.

There are a lot of parents these days that aren't very interested in putting the work in of parenting. Some are just disinterested, and others try to be their kids friend instead of a mom or dad. Some see their kids as an unwanted burden, and I imagine most of the criminals start out in those homes.

I grew up in a small town where nearly everyone's people had been there for generations. People knew you, and they knew your family. The little old ladies would gossip at the hair salon, or call each other on the phone. If you were acting a fool, people found out. Word got around. If it was bad enough, someone would call your parents or grandparents directly and let them know. And when your father/grandfather found out, you got your backside tanned. We didn't have a local police force, and the county sheriff's department was on the other side of the county. But due to community responsibility, gossiping ladies, and good parenting, crime stayed low.

These days, people move all the time for work or housing. Folks don't take the time to get to know their neighbors. Aunts, uncles, and grandparents span across 5 states. That sense of community responsibility is lost, and police are a poor replacement for that. Government has no business trying to raise kids.

I think this has all been part of the long-game that socialist have played. Break down the family and the community, and make the government its surrogate.

TL: DR, Strong families and communities would solve a lot of our issues.

Incidents like this give you a really good idea of where the divisions and the country lie and exactly what people will stand for.

I can't believe that anyone who sees the video will come away with a neutral stance.
