      There are 7 police officers in my town of 13k. We say “Sometimes there’s justice and sometimes there’s just us”

        Whole lee shit this is good! I’ve always heard the adage “when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.”

        And that’s true for both where I’m from(Miami) and where I moved to(the corner of bum fucked & nowhere)

      I mean sure, it do be like that but also my old roommate, who never locked his car and kept weed and his work tools in it overnight, every night, walked around our neighborhood with a pistol “looking” for the guys who stole the aforementioned tools and weed.

      It happened 3 times…there’s something wrong with alot of us

          In my jurisdiction, yes. Any drug offense combined with possessing a firearm is an automatic felony. Even if the drug offense by itself would have been a misdemeanor. It is a very bad idea, legally speaking.

      That’s kinda cool seeing how apparently you guys do put your money where your mouth is 😄 I wish we talked about that kinda stuff more and not just about the bad. I feel like remembering that not every aspect of being American sucks might give people a better reason to resist too.
