Random Thought Thread

A local “alleged” arsonists has been evading LEOs. There is a lot of area for them to cover and lots of places to hide out around here. They put out a still from a video of him leaving the scene of one of the fires. A local community member found him and even after the guy armed himself with a knife and came a the community member aggressively, he was subdued. Other community members that were driving by stopped to provide aid. He was, luckily for him, turned over to law enforcement. Brave dudes doing good.

I am very glad that scumbag was subdued and that no community members got hurt.
 
Things are a little different around here than the average places. I won’t say that he may not win a case, but I will say that he won’t get a chance to collect. There are a lot of missing persons around here. It’s the highest rate in California by far. And that’s just what gets reported. There is a unique idea of what is and what is. and is not acceptable and it does not always correlate with “man’s law”. I’m not saying that I condone any unlawful behavior for the internet record. These are just my observations.
 
I feel like we're about 15 years behind Europe

I recently read about a "problem" with Americans during the 2024 Olympics in France where the pickpocketers were not accustomed to getting their asses kicked.

I read one account where a pickpocketer stole a fellas wallet, the dude rightfully kicked his ass, took his wallet back, and then drug the pickpocketer over to a police officer and said "this guy just stole my wallet" and the police officer asked the pickpocketer if the pickpocketer would like to press charges.

My father-in-law had a squatter living in a house in New York and couldn't get rid of her.

I like to think of myself as being a relatively conscientious open-minded person, but I feel no tolerance for this kind of behavior and I cannot understand the thought process of people who tolerate this kind of thing.

I guess I'm intolerant.

The EU has some really odd mentalities that we tend to find difficult to understand. They don’t really have affirmative self defense laws.

A while back, I read about an incident in Germany IIRC. A father and his 16 y/o daughter were waiting for a train when some scumbag sexually assaulted the girl. The father understandably stopped the scumbag, and was then charged with assault. I didn’t see anything in the article about the scumbag being charged with assaulting the girl.

The other one that was particularly sickening were some of the firsthand accounts of the underaged girls in the UK being groomed and raped by the mostly Pakistani group. When one of the girls managed to escape and run to a police station for help, they treated her like the criminal. I’m guessing they probably already outlawed bulldozers and welding equipment over there.
