I just realized the cosmetics I purchased yesterday at a big CVS in Yonkers, NY have stickers that are impossible to remove. The stickers are printed with this message:

And they'll hire investigators for which we will pay for in higher prices.Still, I gotta admit that those investigators will no doubt be paid less than the cops paid for with our taxes, so there's that.
p.s. Am reminded now that I have recent experience with DISCOVER card fraud investigators. They seem quite savvy, I was impressed. $1,500+ worth of sneakers were charged on my number and they called right away to ask if the purchase was mine, which it wasn't of course. I said "but your card is still in my wallet and has not left it for months and I have not used it for store purchases." And he said it "happens all the time," that "they get it off the internet."
Edit to add: he also said they actually print duplicate cards using numbers they get off the internet; so they are not making online purchases but in person! To the point where I was allowed to continue using the number for purchases online but could not use the card in person until the replacement came in the mail!!

The incident prompted the pilots to divert the flight to Denver, where a passenger was temporarily detained
By Lori Aratani, October 28, 2021 at 5:06 p.m. EDT
A flight attendant for American Airlines suffered broken bones in her face and had to be hospitalized after a passenger allegedly attacked her Wednesday in an incident the company’s chief executive called “one of the worst displays of unruly behavior we’ve ever witnessed.”
The incident occurred on a flight from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport to John Wayne Airport in Orange County, Calif. It prompted the pilots to divert the flight to Denver, where the passenger was temporarily detained.
The flight attendant apparently bumped the passenger while moving through the first-class cabin, according to Julie Hedrick, president of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, which represents those who fly for American Airlines. The flight attendant apologized, but the passenger left his seat, confronted her as she stood in the aircraft’s galley, then punched her in the face, Hedrick said.
Hedrick said the flight attendant was taken to a hospital for treatment of broken bones in her face. She was later released.
The incident echoed one from earlier this year in which a Southwest Airlines flight attendant lost several teeth after a passenger allegedly punched her in the face. The attacks come on the heels of an increase in incidents in which passengers have shouted obscenities, pushed and shoved flight attendants, harassed other passengers or even attempted to open the cockpit door [....]
It’s time for a summit. Chicago needs more and better strategies to stop violent crime. It needs to hear the voices of those who can help, writes the CST Editorial Board. https://t.co/Zr6b7GUxdZ
Makes sense to me that you solve any incarceration/recidivism problems later; they are separate, because the urgent thing is that people are losing their lives.
The only rational alternative is to confiscate every gun in the area, door to door. And that's not going to happen.
It has nothing to do with outlawing guns - liberals are being absurd to bring this up - because guns are already outlawed in Chicago. You can even outlaw guns nationally to tamp down the interstate transport of them BUT THE GUNS THAT ARE ALREADY OUT THERE WILL STILL BE THERE. WITHOUT CONFISCATION, outlawing them is not going to help much, it may even improve their allure as symbols of anti-law power and therefore won't curb gun-associated crime at all. Locking up those who have used them and are clearly willing to keep using them is the only sensible step until the number of guns available are reduced. With strong sentences, so that those types realize the serious nature of choosing to use guns.
This is why BLM 2020 protests were such a big fail for our country: in encouraging many more gun purchases for self-protection. They did so not only because there was rioting and looting, but because they were questioning the existence of policing, so: time to buy a gun, just in case.
It's Halloween, let's have some mass shooting parties!

^ Ding, ding, ding! Yet surely someone will respond: but but but he's leaving out the late 80's and the early 1990's. And how it's all Reagan's fault. As if this current time is nothing to complain about EVEN THOUGH EVERYONE REMEMBERS HOW ONLY RECENTLY MOST BIG CITIES WERE WONDERFULLY SAFE PLACES to live and to visit! How big city police and prosecutors had figured out how to reduce crime levels to miraculous levels we never expected to see in our lifetimes. A huge nationwide continuing tragedy, and it's only slight hyperbole to say this was caused by one unusual death by one incompetent cop being recorded on cell phone video at the start of a pandemic that people sitting at home wanted to be distracted from with "let's get the bullies!"

It has nothing to do with outlawing guns - liberals are being absurd to bring this up - because guns are already outlawed in Chicago. You can even outlaw guns nationally to tamp down the interstate transport of them BUT THE GUNS THAT ARE ALREADY OUT THERE WILL STILL BE THERE. WITHOUT CONFISCATION, outlawing them is not going to help much, it may even improve their allure as symbols of anti-law power and therefore won't curb gun-associated crime at all. Locking up those who have used them and are clearly willing to keep using them is the only sensible step until the number of guns available are reduced. With strong sentences, so that those types realize the serious nature of choosing to use guns.
This is why BLM 2020 protests were such a big fail for our country: in encouraging many more gun purchases for self-protection. They did so not only because there was rioting and looting, but because they were questioning the existence of policing, so: time to buy a gun, just in case.

It's Halloween, let's have some mass shooting parties!
not #Ghetto, here's a picture of that party house so I for one would toss all those recommendations about nice green streets doing anything about gun violence, you either carry or you don't, have gun, will travel to the suburbs for parties (not to mention places like college campuses, another favored place for gun violence lately) -
DITTO!
DITTO!
Not sure on this one, was it a Halloween special? Or more of a year-round "Florida man" thing?
