Wednesday, March 14, 2012 Democrats Desecrate US Flag With Obama's Face (ACN Staff)  Fox News' America Live reports that the desecration of the American flag by a local Democratic headquarters outside of Orlando caused an outrage among a group of patriotic citizens and veterans.  According to the report, filed by Trace Gallagher, veteran Jim Bradford initially took notice of the flag (pictured below) which shows Barack Obama's face in place of the stars in the upper right hand corner of the flag, flying below the American flag at the Democratic party headquarters in Lake County, Florida outside of Orlando. Outraged, Bradford, went home, looked up the U.S. Code and returned to the headquarters accompanied by an unspecified number of veterans and members of the media. Approaching the chairwoman of the Lake County Democratic party, who was manning the headquarters at the time, Bradford informed her that the "Obama flag" was a desecration of the American flag, even going so far as to give her a printed-out copy of the U.S. Code, and asked that she take it down. Public Law 344: "The flag should never have placed upon it or any part of it, any marks, insignia, letters, words, figures, designs, pictures or drawings of any nature." In response to Bradford's request, the chairwoman of the Lake County Democratic party, clearly agitated, informed Bradford that the party headquarters was private property, refused to take the “Obama flag” down and threatened to call the police when Bradford pleaded with her and offered to take it down for her. The "Obama flag" was eventually removed and the chairwoman later issued a statement to the media which read: “We were given this [Obama flag] as a gift. We are proud of our president, we’re proud of the United States, and we felt it was time to display that.” In recent days, Mr. Obama has repeatedly apologized to Afghan President Hamid Karzai over the proper destruction of desecrated Korans, but don't hold your breath for an apology from Mr. Obama on this incident. This muslim is a dictator and his administration should be voted OUT!!!! WAKE UP AMERICA, BEFORE IT IS TO LATE!!!!

After reading the headlines about the US soldier who shot up Afghanistan civilians, I couldn’t help noticing an irony.  There is all this clamor to try this guy quickly and execute him, never mind his having suffered a traumatic brain injury.  Yet this Major Hasan, who shot up FortHood while screaming Allah akbar, still hasn’t stood trial, and they are still debating whether he was insane, even with the clear evidence regarding his motive: slay as many infidels as possible.  So we have a guy in a war zone who cracks, and he must be executed immediately.  But this Muslim psychiatrist who was stateside in a nice safe office all day murders 13, wounds 29 of our own guys, and they try to argue the poor lad suffered post-traumatic stress syndrome, from listening to real soldiers who had actual battle experience.  Two and a half years later, they still haven’t tried the murderous bastard. PASS THIS ON

Watch until Jesus fades away-- awesome    This is AWESOME, and should go to every American in our Nation, this tells it all and I hope each and everyone of you thinks this is as great as I think it is.  Pretty Powerful!

This is the reason CNN has dropped Buchanan. It's like Newt G. said the other night in the debate.   You’re not supposed to bring up uncomfortable Facts. (verified on Buchanan’s website)  BUCHANAN TO OBAMA     Finally............ It is Said Publicly. I have never seen the white side explained better! Pat Buchanan had the guts to say it. It is about time.   BUCHANAN TO OBAMA By Patrick J. Buchanan Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America .. Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation.. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to.... This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:   First, America has been the best  country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.. Jeremiah Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American. Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the ' 60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream. Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white applicants. Churches, foundations, civic  groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks. We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude?? Barack talks about new 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks. Let him go to Altoona ? And Johnstown, and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white kids...? Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America ? Is it really white America 's fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent? Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community  itself? As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena . And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing. Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago. This needs to be passed around because, this is a message everyone needs to hear!!!   OK........... will you pass it on ?   YES. I did but will you?   Because I'm for a better America   I am a realist, Not racist, Not violent, Just not silent anymore.

WE SLEEP SAFE IN OUR BEDS BECAUSE ROUGH MEN STAND READY TO VISIT VIOLENCE ON THOSE WHO DO US HARM   SOCIAL SECURITY NOW CALLED 'FEDERAL BENEFIT PAYMENT'/ENTITELMENT! Have you noticed, your Social Security check is now referred to as a "federal benefit payment"? I'll be part of the one percent, to forward this, our government gets away with way too much in all areas of our lives, while they live lavishly on their grossly overpaid incomes! KEEP passing THIS AROUND UNTIL EVERY ONE HAS READ IT..... SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THIS CALCULATION IS THEY FORGOT TO FIGURE IN THE PEOPLE WHO DIED BEFORE THEY COLLECTED THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY!!!! WHERE DID THAT MONEY GO????????????? This was sent to me, I am forwarding it because it does touch a nerve in me. This is another example of what Rick Perry called "TREASON in high places" !!! Get angry and pass this on! Remember, not only did you contribute to Social Security but your employer did too. It totaled 15% of your income before taxes. If you averaged only $30K over your working life, that's close to $220,500. If you calculate the future value of $4,500 per year (yours & your employer's contribution) at a simple 5% (less than what the government pays on the money that it borrows), after 49 years of working you'd have $892,919.98. If you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years (until you're 95 if you retire at age 65) and that's with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit! If you bought an annuity and it paid 4% per year, you'd have a lifetime income of $2,976.40 per month. The folks in Washington have pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madhoff ever had. Entitlement my butt, I paid cash for my social security insurance!!!! Just because they borrowed the money, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout!! Congressional benefits ---- free healthcare, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days, now that's welfare, and they have the nerve to call my social security retirement entitlements? We're "broke" and can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless. In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti , Chile , and Turkey . And now Pakistan ......home of bin Laden. Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!! Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$'s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries! They call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives and now when its time for us to collect, the government is running out of money. Why did the government borrow from it in the first place? Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT* gave 'US' the same support they give to other countries. Sad isn't it? 99% of people won't have the guts to forward this. I'm one of the 1% -- I Just Did.

Wall St Journal sizes up Obama A "deadly" article regarding Obama, at the Wall Street Journal, which today is the most widely circulated newspaper in America . Article from the Wall Street Journal - by Eddie Sessions: "I have this theory about Barack Obama. I think he's led a kind of make-believe life in which money was provided and doors were opened because at some point early on somebody or some group (George Soros anybody?) took a look at this tall, good looking, half-white, half-black, young man with an exotic African/Muslim name and concluded he could be guided toward a life in politics where his facile speaking skills could even put him in the White House. In a very real way, he has been a young man in a very big hurry. Who else do you know has written two memoirs before the age of 45? "Dreams of My Father" was published in 1995 when he was only 34 years old. The "Audacity of Hope" followed in 2006. If, indeed, he did write them himself. There are some who think that his mentor and friend, Bill Ayers, a man who calls himself a "communist with a small 'c'" was the real author. His political skills consisted of rarely voting on anything that might be deemed controversial.. He went from a legislator in the Illinois legislature to the Senator from that state because he had the good fortune of having Mayor Daley's formidable political machine at his disposal. He was in the U.S. Senate so briefly that his bid for the presidency was either an act of astonishing self-confidence or part of some greater game plan that had been determined before he first stepped foot in the Capital.. How, many must wonder, was he selected to be a 2004 keynote speaker at the Democrat convention that nominated John Kerry when virtually no one had ever even heard of him before? He outmaneuvered Hillary Clinton in primaries. He took Iowa by storm. A charming young man, an anomaly in the state with a very small black population, he oozed "cool" in a place where agriculture was the antithesis of cool. He dazzled the locals. And he had an army of volunteers drawn to a charisma that hid any real substance. And then he had the great good fortune of having the Republicans select one of the most inept candidates for the presidency since Bob Dole. And then John McCain did something crazy. He picked Sarah Palin, an unknown female governor from the very distant state of Alaska . It was a ticket that was reminiscent of 1984's Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro and they went down to defeat. The mainstream political media fell in love with him. It was a schoolgirl crush with febrile commentators like Chris Mathews swooning then and now over the man. The venom directed against McCain and, in particular, Palin, was extraordinary. Now, 3 full years into his presidency, all of those gilded years leading up to the White House have left him unprepared to be President.. Left to his own instincts, he has a talent for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. It swiftly became a joke that he could not deliver even the briefest of statements without the ever-present Tele-Prompters. Far worse, however, is his capacity to want to "wish away" some terrible realities, not the least of which is the Islamist intention to destroy America and enslave the West. Any student of history knows how swiftly Islam initially spread. It knocked on the doors of Europe, having gained a foothold in Spain ... The great crowds that greeted him at home or on his campaign "world tour" were no substitute for having even the slightest grasp of history and the reality of a world filled with really bad people with really bad intentions. Oddly and perhaps even inevitably, his political experience, a cakewalk, has positioned him to destroy the Democrat Party's hold on power in Congress because in the end it was never about the Party. It was always about his communist ideology, learned at an early age from family, mentors, college professors, and extreme leftist friends and colleagues. Obama is a man who could deliver a snap judgment about a Boston police officer who arrested an "obstreperous" Harvard professor-friend, but would warn Americans against "jumping to conclusions" about a mass murderer at Fort Hood who shouted "Allahu Akbar." The absurdity of that was lost on no one. He has since compounded this by calling the Christmas bomber "an isolated extremist" only to have to admit a day or two later that he was part of an al Qaeda plot. He is a man who could strive to close down our detention facility at Guantanamo even though those released were known to have returned to the battlefield against America . He could even instruct his Attorney General to afford the perpetrator of 9/11 a civil trial when no one else would ever even consider such an obscenity. And he is a man who could wait three days before having anything to say about the perpetrator of yet another terrorist attack on Americans and then have to elaborate on his remarks the following day because his first statement was so lame. The pattern repeats itself. He either blames any problem on the Bush administration or he naively seeks to wish away the truth. Knock, knock. Anyone home? Anyone there? Barack Obama exists only as the sock puppet of his handlers, of the people who have maneuvered and manufactured this pathetic individual's life. When anyone else would quickly and easily produce a birth certificate, this man spent over a million dollars to deny access to his. Most other documents, the paper trail we all leave in our wake, have been sequestered from review. He has lived a make-believe life whose true facts remain hidden. We laugh at the ventriloquist's dummy, but what do you do when the dummy is President of the United States of America ? PLEASE PASS THIS ON. IT IS A MUST READ

Sad but true. The link at the end to The Daily Mail in the UK works. Maybe we should email it to CNN? BeginSubject: Fwd: No Al Sharpton here Bet you haven't seen this story on national TV or read about it in the local newspaper. Click on the link below to read about another horror story that occurred a few days ago here in the USA.  This news article came from the United Kingdom, even though it occurred right here at home.  This is just one of many news stories that never make the "big time".  No national news coverage, no civil rights leaders or elected officials speaking out and certainly no comments or phone calls from the President of the United States.  Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.    In Oklahoma last Tuesday, Bob and Nancy Strait, who had been married for 65 years, had their home broken into by a black teenager (Tyrone Woodfork) unarmed except for a BB gun. The teenager beat and raped the 85 year old Nancy Strait to death. Her husband, a veteran of the 101st Airborne in WW2, is in the hospital struggling to make it. There will be no million hoodie march for Bob and Nancy, two mere white Americans. Their killer will have pro bono lawyers and innocence projects helping him until he's finally set free again. Certainly Obama will make no statement on how Nancy Strait could have been his grandmother or how Bob Strait could have been that uncle who "liberated Auschwitz ". Bob and Nancy Strait won't get the screeching coverage that Trayvon Martin got about white racism because a Hispanic neighborhood watch captain shot a black teenager.   In fact isn't it sad that you will only find this story in a UK newspaper?   http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2117695/Brutal-home-invasion-Oklahoma-couple-ends-65-year-romance-meeting-blind-date.html

Occupy Wall Street by Thomas Sowell By Dr. Thomas Sowell   The current Occupy Wall Street movement is the best illustration to date of what President Barack Obama's America looks like. It is an America where the lawless, unaccomplished, ignorant and incompetent rule. It is an America where those who have sacrificed nothing pillage and destroy the lives of those who have sacrificed greatly.  It is an America where history is rewritten to honor dictators, murderers and thieves. It is an America where violence, racism, hatred, class warfare and of murder are all promoted as acceptable means of overturning the American civil society.   It is an America where humans have been degraded to the level of animals: of defecating in public, having sex in public, devoid of basic hygiene. It is an America where the basic tenets of a civil society, including faith, family, a free press and individual rights, have been always rejected. It is an America where our founding documents have been now shredded and, with them, every person's guaranteed liberties.   It is an America where, ultimately, great suffering will come to the American people, but the rulers like Obama, Michelle Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, liberal college professors, union bosses and all other loyal liberal/Communist Party members will live in opulent splendor. It is the America that Obama and the Democrat Party have now created with all the willing assistance of the American media, Hollywood, unions, universities, the Communist Party of America, the Black Panthers and numerous anti-American foreign entities.  Barack Obama has brought more destruction upon this country in 3 years than any other event in the history of our nation, but it is just the beginning of what he and his comrades are capable of. The Occupy Wall Street movement is just another step in their plan for the annihilation of America. "Socialism, in general, has a record of failure that's so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it."   Dr. Thomas Sowell (A National Humanities Medal Winner)   The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are out numbered by the people that vote for a living.    Thomas Sowell from Wikipedia:   Thomas Sowell (born June 30, 1930) is an American economist, social theorist, political philosopher, and author. A National Humanities Medal winner, he advocates laissez-faire economics and writes from a conservative and libertarian perspective. He is currently a Rose and Milton Friedman Senior Fellow on Public Policy at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. Sowell was born in North Carolina, but grew up in Harlem, New York. He dropped out of high school, and served in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War. He received a bachelor's degree from Harvard University in 1958 and a master's degree from Columbia University in 1959. In 1968, he earned his doctorate degree in economics from the University of Chicago. Sowell has served on the faculties of several universities, including Cornell and University of California, Los Angeles, and worked for think tanks such as the Urban Institute. Since 1980 he has worked at the Hoover Institution. He is the author of more than 30 books.

You're a 19 year old kid. You're critically wounded and dying in The jungle somewhere in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam .. It's November 14, 1965. LZ (landing zone) X-ray. Your unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense from 100 yards away, that your CO (commanding officer) has ordered the MedEvac helicopters to stop coming in. You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns and you know you're not getting out. Your family is half way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you'll never see them again. As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day. Then - over the machine gun noise - you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter. You look up to see a Huey coming in. But.. It doesn't seem real because no MedEvac markings are on it. Captain Ed Freeman is coming in for you. He's not MedEvac so it's not his job, but he heard the radio call and decided he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire anyway. Even after the MedEvacs were ordered not to come.He's coming anyway. And he drops it in and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 3 of you at a time on board. Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire to the doctors and nurses and safety. And, he kept coming back!! 13 more times!! Until all the wounded were out. No one knew until the mission was over that the Captain had been hit 4 times in the legs and left arm. He took 29 of you and your buddies out that day. Some would not have made it without the Captain and his Huey. Medal of Honor Recipient, Captain Ed Freeman, United States Air Force, died, August 20th, 2008, at the age of 80, in Boise, Idaho. May God Bless and Rest His Soul. I bet you didn't hear about this hero's passing, but we've sure heard a whole bunch about that Whitney Houston (OD), the lovely Lindsay Lohan, Dr. Murray, The sicko Sandusky, and a 72-day Sham marriage of the "Kar-trashian" person. Shame on the media !!! Medal of Honor Winner Captain Ed Freeman Now... YOU pass this along. Honor this real hero. Please The use of the word hero is often used rather casually and inaccurately. THIS is a HERO!     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Freeman As you will see he actually died in 2008.

HOW DARE OBAMA TO DO THIS. HE DOES NOT OWN AIR FORCE ONE.   Subject: Fwd: Obama's Air Force One (IT'S NOT OBAMA"S)     Obama's Air Force One     (WAIT! Who's AFO?   INCREDIBLE!!! He has turned Air Force One into a campaign slogan carrier... Not only the Obama Campaign logo on the tail, but it bears his Campaign Slogan and removing the American Flag! I do believe in most States there are laws against something so blatant an abuse of power, using public funds for campaigning. Atop this "personalization of Air Force One", Obama has logged more miles than any previous President. We have a “triple A” president; Audacity, Abuse, and Arrogance... He should pay for the cost of repainting/ restoring the craft.... this guy HAS to GO! Obama Removes American Flag from His Plane… WHO'S PLANE? Before After         Barack Obama recently finished a $500,000 total overhaul of his (HIS?) Boeing 757. And as part of the new design, he decided to remove the American flag from the tail. What American running for President of the United States would remove the symbol of his country? And worse, he replaced the flag with a symbol of himself.       Please forward this if you're not ashamed of your country and our flag.   If you do not forward this to everyone you know nothing will happen. If Obama is elected president of the United States we are in trouble. If you think the Liberals can lead our country just look what Pelosi and Reid have accomplished for us... "ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!" If you have doubt about this message, check it out at SNOPES         If this doesn't cheer you up, nothing will..... You know the honeymoon is over when the comedians start in. The liberals are asking us to give Obama time. We agree...and think 25 to life would be  appropriate.  --Jay Leno America needs Obama-care like Nancy  Pelosi needs a Halloween mask.  --Jay Leno Q: Have you heard about McDonald's' new Obama Value Meal? A: Order anything you like and the guy behind you  has to pay for it.  --Conan O'Brien Q: What does Barack Obama call  lunch with a convicted felon? A: A fund raiser.  --Jay Leno Q: What's the difference between Obama's cabinet and a penitentiary? A: One is filled with tax evaders, blackmailers, and threats to society. The other is for housing  prisoners.  --David Letterman Q: If Nancy Pelosi and Obama were  on a boat in the middle of the ocean and it  started to sink, who would be saved? A: America !  --Jimmy Fallon Q: What's the difference between Obama and his dog, Bo? A: Bo has papers.  --Jimmy Kimmel Q: What was the most positive result  of the "Cash for Clunkers" program? A: It took 95% of the Obama bumper  stickers off the road.  --David Letterman Solution to the problem in Libya : They want a new Muslim leader, Give them ours.

JUST 2 MONTHS AGO THIS WAS FOUND.  GOD ONLY KNOWS HOW MUCH MORE IS COMING OUR WAY.        Subject: FOUND IN ARIZONA .... BE PREPARED         I wonder who was going to lead this Army! Be prepared to defend your selves!   This is the 2nd raid this year - this one took place on 3/2/12 at 3 am -  Border Patrol, Mexican Patrol, AZ swat teams and sheriff's  undercover agents.   Our country is in BIG trouble.... Why was there no news coverage of this raid on the Arizona border? Definitely NOT Jose wishing to come pick lettuce!  This is exactly why we MUST support ARIZONA. This seizure was just five days ago. Right on the Arizona border! This is but one seizure that has taken place along the border over the past year. There have been many more like this (but you won't hear about it on major media news) . Not a mention on ABC - CBS - NBC - MSNBC - or CNN news- - even on FOX . These photos and reports come from a Spanish language news source.   Thank God for the border patrol and that they did not allow this to get in. Huge stash of assault rifles (grenade launchers in center!). Enough ammunition to outfit a small army was confiscated. Military caps and equipment were among the cache. All types of assault weapons were among the cache. Many were military grade weapons with plenty of ammo. There were enough guns to open a gun shop. It was a major arsenal of weapons including grenade launchers (seen a little to the right of center picture). Not only weapons but also vehicles believed to have been stolen were found at the site. One smuggler was killed during the operation when he fired on the border patrol agents. See cellular phones! Arizona does not require a "front" license plate! Numerous police style bullet proof vests were found in one vehicle. More than 200 large weapons were confiscated along with about 30 smaller arms 2 grenade launchers were among the cache It appears these guys intended to portray themselves as police officers or military men. Each and every vehicle checked had been reported stolen in the USA in the recent past! $380,000 worth of stolen vehicles were recovered. More than 60 grenades of varying size were found. Arabic writing was on them. Numerous hand guns with loaded clips were found in the cache. A single grenade like this could bring $5,000 on the streets of the USA . Each of these weapons could be sold for as much as $5,000 on the black market in the USA . More than 80 stolen cell phones were found. These could be used for detonating bombs remotely. Still more rifles were found stuffed in several SUV's Clips loaded with live bullets were just too numerous to count All types of weapons including Afghan - Russian - Chinese and many others Why would anyone object to protecting our borders after they have seen this? Our Federal Government is suing Arizona over its law. But the Federal law reads almost word for word  as Arizona's. Problem is, the Federal Government refuses to enforce their law. Sorta makes you wonder who our real enemies really are...doesn't it?

"Out in the West Texas town of El Paso..." Three armed felons crossed the US border and attempted to rob an off-duty El Paso police officer dressed in civilian clothes while he stood in front of a bank. The plan was for two of them to grab his backpack and toss it to an accomplice on a stolen motorcycle. However, the well-prepared police officer shot all of them, killing two immediately. The third was shot in both arms and bled to death before the ambulance arrived.     This is how much the US Taxpayer would have had to pay to prosecute these thugs: ·     Arrest and detention for 1 night = $6,000 ·     Transportation for deportation back to Mexico the next day =$1000 ·     Air time for Obama to apologize in 30 minute speech =$25,007,000   What it actually cost: ·     Four .40 rounds = $1.00 ·     Taxpayer savings = $25,006,999.00   Apparently They Picked The Wrong Man to Rob This Time.  And There Won't Be A Next Time!   THE AVERAGE RESPONSE TIME FOR A 911 CALL IS 4 MINUTES. THE AVERAGE RESPONSE TIME FOR A .40 S&W ROUND IS ABOUT 1200 FEET PER SECOND.   I LOVE TO READ STORIES LIKE THIS, WITH SUCH HAPPY ENDINGS.    Since the police can not be everywhere, most of the time they are reactive to crime.  That is why being armed is a very good thing to do to help them out.
