Shoot Em In The Leg Joe

[wbm]

“Instead of standing there and teaching a cop when there’s an unarmed person coming at ‘em with a knife or something, shoot ‘em in the leg instead of in the heart,”

"Unarmed with a knife" Another Bidenism.


Gene Autry would have just shot the knife out of their hand without drawing blood.

Second best solution is to drop the knife the first time you are asked. That works in a lot of cases.

Best solution is to not be a robber or assailant in the first place and instead be a good citizen. Been serving to protect my family for generations with that trick.

Oh yeah. Gene was good at that....Roy mighta been a shade better.

[Stumpkiller]

I know. We have to issue the police lassos instead of handguns.

Elon Musk and Arthur Levinson better start working on a phaser with a "stun" setting.

Here is the solution.

Wonder if they need to check if the perp has hairy legs...

[Stumpkiller]

Oh, here we go. . . "Hairy Legs Matter".

Did the country at large know that George Floyd had been arrested eight times prior and convicted in seven of those? Muggings, armed home invasion, drug possession, etc. And with drugs in his system, guilty or not of the counterfeiting, he was [justifiably] going back to jail/prison.

(https://greatgameindia.com/george-floyd-criminal/Or)Or is that one of those "inconvenient truths" we bury? I wouldn't march for him unless he held a gun against me . . . like he did the woman in Texas as he burglarized her home. Dirt.

Meanwhile about 25 more have been murdered in Chicago and St Louis and nobody even noticed.
Including a couple more kids. But hey fear not, lunch bucket Joe has a plan.
They feel the moment is right and it is, but not for them.

Was thinking the same...Memorial Day weekend was really bad in Chicago....lot's of shoot-m-ups.

Where's Chuck Norris when you need him??

[yobuck]

Oh yeah. Gene was good at that....Roy mighta been a shade better.
I remember seeing Gene Autry with his wild west show at a large facility called the Arena in Philly when i was very young.
Back then it was ok for kids to wear cap guns on their hip also.
Kids also played a game called mumbly peg with their pocket knives at recess time at school.

Had forgotten! We did do that.

Back in the day the violence on TV was hardly shown. Today it is every 30 seconds.

Back in the day the violence on TV was hardly shown. Today it is every 30 seconds.

You can thank the cable TV networks and services for that. Back in the day there was a censorship bureau that used strict guidelines on what could and couldn't be aired on public television broadcast over the airwaves (anyone remember Carlin's 7 words you can't say on television bit?). With the advent of cable services and dedicated cable networks, such networks were able to bypass the bureau because their programming was only available to those who chose to pay for it. As time went on and cable service proliferated, so did the moral decay and increase of gore and violence of the programming.

Thirty years ago it would have been unfathomable to even consider the idea of an infomercial featuring aging porn stars peddling male enhancement pills or sex toys on tv, now they're all over the place. Compare the level of violence depicted in old police shows like Hill Street Blues or Cagney & Lacey to today's CSI, Chicago PD, Law & Order SVU, etc. And don't even get me started on video games. Pac-Man and Mario Bros. have been replaced with the likes of Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto.

And yet we wonder why many of today's youth are as messed up as they are.
