Thank you for informing the public. It’s going scary out there!
And yet the Communist Commissions are looking to reappropriate/defund law enforcement…with the exception of their praetorians of course.
I had a guy pull a knife on me while I was waiting to enter the
Passenger side of my friends car after dining at Piezano’s
Pizza at Univ & 13th last week… I guess the guy was sleeping in
His car or something…he yelled “get back” and flicked his
Knife at me…there was an exchange of words. You would
Think you would have an “expectation of safety” in that
Holiday inn parking lot…I did not call police. I let it go.
If I would have called police, it would have been a “George Floyd” incident. The guy was acting erratic and belligerent. Good thing he did not get out of his car and attack me
With that knife or I would have had to defend myself.
I told the hostess at piezanos that “that guy pulled a knife
On me!!”…you would think she would have gone inside
To tell the manager or something….all I got was plenty
Of dumb looks from her behind her mask. I hope that
Crazy guy didn’t do that to anyone else that night.
Moral of the story is: a lot of bad stuff goes unreported
To law enforcement. I took a picture of his car tag but
My camera flash just made the plate look like the sun.
It was 10pm at night and who knows how long it would
Have taken for the cops to get there…My friend said “
The guy spit on me” too, but I didn’t realize if he did.
This is a situation where there’s a crazy guy out there
And got away. Be safe out there, lots of crazies…
I know someone who works there. Which night was this?
Maybe Tuesday night last week…the hostess was a
Very attractive BL female. She was cleaning the front
Doors…the guy was in a BL ford, had his driver side window down and
Seat reclined…my back was turned to him when I heard
The click from his knife and his yelling to “ stay back”.
He had no business there.. then an exchange of words
Where I said I was going to call the cops…he said, “go ahead”… it was not good. This could have turned out
Very very bad…
Crime at the Oaks Mall? By golly this kind of crime will not be allowed to happen when the Oaks Mall is involuntarily annexed into our glorious Springs County.
.
In Springs County every adult over 21 will be required to purchase an AR-15 at Picketts and carry it 24/7 as the Homeboy Militia, as without taxes we can’t afford a police force. Citizens will be authorized to remove their heads from the arse of Brother John Birch just long enough to acquire the target of the perp and blast him before reinserting their head back into the 1950’s fascist mindset required of the Good Sheeple People of SC. Freedom!!!!!
You’re b a c k! Thought you moved out of the country…sorry, county. Guess you finally took your hands off your leaders’ appendages to exercise your 1st Amendment right. That’s right, the one that I helped protect for you with my 2nd Amendment right.
You’re welcome, now go back to suckling.
