Why is it? - Oldfellah - 23-04-2022
With all these shootings going on and in the aftermath of such you see armed cops outside the premises, dont you think that's a bit silly because who ever the shooters were will have no intention of coming back they will be long gone so in my opinion its a bit pointless patrolling with firearms or am I wrong (Again)

two reasons I can think of,
1. to provide a sense of security to the victims that have just been traumatised...
2. I could imagine that some drug crazed maniac might be stupid enough to return to the scene if they didn't achieve their original 'goal'

something to do with closing the barn doors after the horse has bolted or somesuch

Yes they are the words I was looking for.

its tokenism.
usually corporate. someone gets shot in invercargill by a disgruntled client
all of a sudden theres two security guards posted at the front door of every Winz/acc.
guards with no defence skills, no training, unarmed, little more than two sacks of warm blubber to absorb bullets in the event of an armed assault.
i feel much safer ta.

Bloody kids. I blame the parents...
Sez she giggling quietly at her memories of raising a teenage kid.
We should never have stopped smacking their tiny wee bottoms.

Lol...
There was a kid in the cafe where I had lunch. It was practicing whistling.
I nearly lost it. Much to the hilarity of the staff, who know me very well.
