Today's front page WashPost Robbery article

[Helmetcase]

Anybody see this Washington Post article today? I did, and was pleasantly surprised that it didn't have a blatant anti-gun bias.

In fact, if you read between the lines, I think this article does a great job explaining why gun control is useless in our nation's capital. See what you think.

I am progressively more and more disgusted with police chiefs who say that a victim should not resist, because it might result in a homicide. As they are supposed to be serving and protecting civilians, I consider such a statement to be traitorous to their profession.

There are SO many cases where compliance resulted in a dead victim, but they can't tell the story...they're dead.

When I read that this morning I was shocked - I mean the idea that the robbers would go to the 'nicer' neighborhoods to find something to steal, who would have thought of that.

Well seriously though, Willie Sutton the bank robber said when asked why he robbed banks, "Because that's where the money is."

Yup, it takes the slow ones a while to catch on.

Because...they...are...slow...

Hmmm, imagine that.
