Even money says that is true in gun shy Maryland.<br /><br />1. During one of Miami's string of riots, (1980, 1983, 1989, 1992) my brother was a local cop assigned to a roadblock between our suburb and which was quiet and Opa Locka which wasn't. He asked if he could borrow my Mini-14 as his department didn't have enough. I agreed but only had a few rounds of .223 at the time. He said that wouldn't be a problem since the roadblock would have a National Guard backup and he could surely get some from them. When he asked the guard for some ammo they were embarrassed to admit they were not issued any.<br /><br />2. After Hurricane Andrew the National Guard was deployed to the "dead zone" in deep South Dade. Some of the local thugs somehow knew they were deployed (again) with no ammo and managed to "acquire" more than one M16 at gunpoint from guardsmen. Within a few days the guard was relieved by elements of the 82nd Airborne. Apparently the thugs had trouble reading unit patches and tried to "acquire" a few more M16's from the paratroops with unhappy (for them) results.<br /><br />Yessir, Boys and Girls. Could get interesting.

It not only didn't let them out, it kept them in - ensuring that the "black community" destroyed the correct stuff and looted the correct neighborhood. After all, now the correct legislators can demand more money allocation to cure the blight. Oops the "investment". <br /><br />They don't want to let them out. Why? Exactly that which is implied. If they get out, they will "get it" alright. <br /><br />What are the leaders with the courage to stand up and say SKIN COLOR DOESNT MATTER IN A NATION BUILT UPON EQUALITY? <br />Why will none of our "leaders" step up and call the bluff directly? <br />College entry? Job hiring? Skin color irrelevant. <br />Robbery or rape? Skin color irrelevant. <br />Election districting? Skin color irrelevant. <br />Business contracting, individual contracting? Skin color irrelevant. <br /><br />Why is that so hard? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
