SAN
FRANCISCO – In
this tech-savvy city teeming with commuters and tourists, the cell
phone has become a top target of robbers who use stealth, force and
sometimes guns.
"Someone
once asked me, “How is it that you can't shoot a criminal 200 meters
away, but police don’t do anything to stop them?”.
SHTF, whatever type of crisis it may be, isn’t fair. It will be
absolutely unfair." (Thoughts-on-survival.html)
Nearly
half of all robberies in San Francisco
this year are cell phone-related, police say, and most occur on
bustling transit lines.
One
thief recently snatched a smartphone while
sitting right behind his unsuspecting victim and darted out the rear of
a bus in mere seconds.
Another
robber grabbed an iPhone from an
oblivious bus rider -- while she was still talking.[Full]
We
live in a relatively crime free community, but just this week 5 homes
were invaded, both day and night, including one instance where they
entered a room where a woman was sleeping (perps ran when she
screamed).
The last time we saw such behavior was in the Carter years, when
silver was selling for a million dollars an ounce (after the market was
cornered by the Hunts). and the economy had been, well, Cartered. This
time I fear things will be worse. Because the people we've
allowed
into this country are worse. Get used to more of this sort of
thing.
And for God's sake, get armed!
