I understand and appreciate the need and use for a vest but seriously who the hell is gonna shoot a guy in the back, through the barrier of the passenger area..then through the seat? When you can not only intimidate the guy by holding it to his head but send the bullet through plexiglass into his skull?
A camera should do a good job. Something that can stop a bullet behind the driver will do a better job. And giving the driver a fighting chance with some firepower of his own...will ultimately bring this problem to stop. Do you know how much "cab crime" would go down if it was just a given that drivers carried? Where the blank is Frank Castle when ya need em. |

You'd think that all big city cabs would have a barrier between the front and back seats with a deposit drawer or something.

Sick times we live in, sucks for the cabbies, sucks for the poor ass who thinks he's going to be fine on his shift and gets his head blown off instead.

1, why not have an armed guard riding "shotgun" with the cabbies in areas where there is a lot of crime or potential for it. 2, if we, as a society, would cut with all the bleeding-heart bullshit and actually HUNG people in a public square, crime would stop by a shitload. Instead of sending people to "club med", lets actually PUNISH these piece-of-shits who commit heinous crimes, random acts of violence, etc. Its not some poor cabbies fault (who has a wife and kids and is trying to put food on the table), that some asshole who grew up in the ghetto and never had a dad or Christmas is pissed at the world and feels it owes him, so he robs, beats or murders the guy for a hundred bucks. We need to make an example of these shitbags and execute them instead of giving them free room & board, meals, exercise equiptment, a job that pays and a fucking college education. THATS the problem with this country and crime, plain and simple. This touches a nerve with me today because at 2 o'clock this morning I had a "prowler" on my porches, try the doors and windows. I was sitting on my stairs with the 12 gauge and 00 buckshot. Wife called the cops and they showed up in about 1 minute (small town) and found footprints. I didnt sleep at all last night, thinking about my wife and 3 year old son right before Christmas. It woulda been the last house the doucher broke into, thats for sure.

Lights downstairs were off. We were in bed (wife teaches and gets up at 530) and I was just dozing off. We have an American Foursquare and our bedroom is on the front left. My TV and nightstand light were on. Front and back porch with a side deck that connects to the back porch. It was 2 am and I hear feet in the snow next to our bedroom. No biggie, its a small, old, mill town and people cut through yards all the time. Then they were on the porch. I thought, "Hmm, odd." Then off the porch around the side, on the other porch. Thats when I jumped up and woke my wife & grabbed the shotgun. She called the cops and I sat on the stairs watching in case they did get in. I think they probably heard us upstairs moving around and took off.
I think they were checking the doors to see if they were open and could make a quick snag. Thats the only type of break-ins we have up here, and theres been 2 that I know of in the past 5 years. Funny though, theyve been across the street from me in the middle of the day and one house behind, 3 houses over at 5 am. Caught the second guy (this was last spring) and it was a high school kid looking for drugs and money. Its what he told the cops. My wife had the kid in school and it was the next door neighbors of good friends of ours. The house across the street had a laptop, prescription pills and purse taken. No matter what, Im a young guy with a young family and I will NOT say anything to someone in my house or trying to break in, they will get shot in the chest, plain and simple. I had the 12 gauge loaded when I opened the door for the cop and he never gave it a second look or mentioned it. Thats one thing I LOVE about Maine: Little to no crime and we're allowed to defend our homes & families if it comes down to that. (Just put my 3 year old down for his nap) |
