Communist Revolution Has Begun

small town Canada perhaps

the local police know me, they know I am the neighbourhood watch around here

down in Toronto with Metro Police, it's a different ballgame

Belligerent random tweakers have made it to small town Canada?
Damn.

Y'all going downhill.

these are the rural trailer park boys

the white trash from the other side of the tracks

that's really the only criminal element around here

they don't usually hang out in this neighbourhood, they usually hang out downtown

but the weather is blazing hot, so everybody is coming down to the river

[DBTrek]

Well, sons better watch themselves or ol' Smitty be sending them the rest of the way down river, face first, eh?


"I ain't got no rolling papers, but I'll fold you the fuck up".

[Smitty-48]

In the US when the cops roll up, all that means is another dangerous factor has been introduced.
Maybe they'll take statements and leave.
Maybe they'll arrest you.
Maybe they'll arrest him.
Maybe they'll arrest you both.
Maybe someone gets shot.

Kinda depends on which police and which neighborhood.

this is what it's like down in Toronto with Metro Police

they don't know you, they don't care, and they are generally in a surly mood

see, I gotta resist the urge to go there

my instinct is to run to the sound of the guns

but Canadian law is quite strict about that, you can only defend yourself in extremis

otherwise I will be the one the cops are after

I don't go beyond the threshold of neighbourhood watch / defend my wife & property

You didn't go out looking.
He came to you.

But yeah, it's over, and it's time to let the adrenaline peter out and get back to normalcy. Now you know ... if you're headed to that store, bring a knife.

Or bear spray.

Or whatever older Canadians can pack to tilt the combat advantage back in their favor.

I didn't even get the adrenaline dump, because soon as stood my ground he basically backed down

but since the cops are out there after him, who knows where he might run to

I just brought the 870 to DEFCON 4 as a precaution

[Fife]

"Rolling papers? Oh yes, well, let's see now . . . hmm. Sorry, M8 I must have left me rolling papers in me other suit."

[DBTrek]

Well ... I don't know how he'd find your house, or why he'd go there even if he miraculously knew where it was.
I mean ... you don't have rolling papers for him, right?
So he's probably off to shake down the next guy.
I wouldn't sweat it any.

I was a bouncer at the clubs in Toronto

I'm actually pretty relaxed in any sort of confrontation like that, been there done that so many times
