    Since, techically, it's against the law in both Boston and Mass, of course I wouldn't. But we're talking about Texas, a semi free state. Not Massachusetts, a semi communist state

    we all know you want to see anyone not left of you dead, very typical of socialist loving tyrants.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    Yup.

    Ted Williams was actually a Republican, but the son of a bitch sure could hit. It was incredible.

    The only good thing about being my age is that I'm old enough to have seen him play when I was a boy.

    Poor bastard is a popsicle now. His moron kids froze his ass.

    That's what they must do to Republicans. I sure wouldn't know.

    Are you now, or ever have been, familiar with the TX gun laws here? If you are, you'd already know.

    Given this information, I'm wondering if you realized that your so called social security isnt enough to keep you afloat. am I right?

    The FBI certainly has it's place, but what some people seem to dancing around is a national street cop police force like the Federales. A force with direct control by Washington DC.

    I have social security, additional pension from my work, and regular albeit modest investment income coming in.
    Plus property where real estate is expensive.
    I'm OK for now...and I've had both of my covid shots, too.

    Thanks for pretending to give a shit, STY.
    You must be having a good day.
    If your mom is alive, give her a smooch.
    I imagine trumpanzees do that too.

    “It’s unlike any other country,” Wexler said. “In places like the United Kingdom, you have a Home Office, you have standards. In Germany or Israel … they have a national police. Our policing is completely fragmented, decentralized, with no national standards.”

    You go mess with TPD, I've seen the results of doing so. I ain't the one.

    They will kick you, and kick you some moar, boy!

    They don't care if you're a celebrity, they are equal-opportunity ass-kickers.

    Don't mess with the popo here, they will kick your ass and take you to jail.

    Do the Texas cops treat you gently when you bring them upstairs, Miss Kitty?
    Or maybe you like it rough?

    Texas is not a city, shitlick.

    Come here and try to run the bullshit you run where you're at and you'll find out.

    FL does not play that bullshit.

    There's still cockroaches that fled from LA after Katrina and tried to play their games here, and are still here in FL.

    Right up the road, baby. And that's where they'll be.

    I get it, Miss Kitty.

    The cops in Houston and Dallas and San Antonio are all from Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. Maybe old Mexico, too.

    There's less traffic in Texas so the commute isn't so bad.

    And the intelligence level is also up there, somewhere around Florida level, no?

    There's something seriously wrong with this mindset. It puts you on the same level as the leftists wanting to use government as a weapon against those you hate
