Aug 25, 2022 09:46 PMA few weeks ago I was pumping gas and a car with two straight f***ing weirdos pulled up FAST, looked Russian but sounded like Armenians, asked me for money for “gas” while holding a gold ring as a trade, I looked at him and said, “get the f*** outta here you asked me for money before 3 years ago” same car same situation, he then said not one word looked away and he sped off really fast again and got on the 101 south on casitas pass, it was weird, they needed gas money but drove off like that on the 101 south, only thing is 3 years ago he didn’t look so cracked out as he did now, be careful out there folks we have the 2nd amendment for a good reason

Aug 26, 2022 09:37 AMI think preventing sketchy people from bartering at gas stations with your military-grade assault rifle was one of the main purposes of the 2nd amendment. Alexander Hamilton had some dicey run-ins when he visited Philly. That seems like a good purpose for a well-regulated militia.

Aug 26, 2022 11:45 AMAn AR-15 is NOT a "military grade assault rifle". It is only a semi-automatic rifle (just like the Ruger Mini-14), therefore, not an assault rifle. And, I don't even know what "military grade" is supposed to mean...

Aug 26, 2022 01:55 PMFunny how the gun nuts always conveniently forget the "well-regulated militia" part of the 2nd Amendment.

Aug 26, 2022 03:47 PMYeah, gun cwazies always ignore the entire text, context, and intent of the second amendment, and dismiss high-firepower military-style weapons as just hunting rifles, even though they are ill-suited to that purpose.

Aug 30, 2022 02:34 PM@3:47 - The Second Amendment to The Constitution has NOTHING to do with hunting. Talk about ignoring context and intent...

Aug 30, 2022 06:31 PMGun cwazies don't realize it has nothing to do with the general populace being able to own a private arsenal, either.

Aug 26, 2022 10:26 AMI heard John Palm. mention that they got 1000's of dollars, is there still a limit on the amount you can withdraw from an atm? used to be only 3-$500 at a time.
if they went inside, why not call the pd from inside the bank?? something seems weird

Aug 26, 2022 11:13 AMATM limits changed during the pandemic due to banks being closed and then not wanting too many customers inside. Mine went from $300 to $1100 daily limit. You can tell your bank to change your account's daily ATM limit to whatever you like. I know Wells Fargo lets you do that online, other banks you might have to call.

Aug 26, 2022 01:10 PMI agree, something seems weird. Why didn't the victim call the police immediately after the criminals left? Why did the victim wait until the next day? This was a serious crime!
