I've been saying for over a decade, they've been doing a GOOD cop BAD cop number on us. McCarthy was right but, they made him out to look like a complete idiot & in the process convinced Americans communism could never prevail here.
I agree with you @DrRiverSong I'm going to Cabela's to buy best pepper spray they sell. Local groc here yesterday, black man in late 50s pulled pants down & groped 4 white women b4 someone got him out of there. I quit carrying a handbag 4 yrs ago. Just phone & debt in pocket.
I stopped carrying handbag about 4 yrs ago bc of these criminals. I wear slacks w/pockets & long tunics that go past hips. I carry my RFID case in one pocket & phone in the other. Not fool proof but does lessen my vulnerability & likeliness of be ones pigeon. Also, pepper spray.
I can't understand how they can work for an agency that requires them to do this to their own fellow citizens. Why does this "crime" need militarized FBI. Why not local government?
