Slow day today so thought I would publicly share an update.
I've been embedded with the homeless population for a week now here.
There are really two categories:
-
Those too mentally impared to live normally. These are the typical homeless you see. Long hair, dirty, all their possessions go everywhere with them..They are fast becoming the minority here.
-
The new breed. These are younger people mid 20-30's. These people all have nice tents, with all the accouterments. Air mattresses, tables, speakers, $1000 phones, haircuts etc. The equipment is all brand new and there is a funding operation going on by how dress right dress the equipment handed out is.
I've been threatened with metal pipes, stun guns, and accosted numerous times. It's only a matter of time before there is a violent encounter by one of the latter group. They think anyone they don't know is a cop (I'm actually a felon…) and have no problems ganging up on someone.
This situation is EXACTLY what the 2A was intended for. Since I'm a felon I can not possess a firearm now…
