So here we are on Saturday, nothing happened and we’re still arguing that the rumors mean something?
O..............K
I am going to stick with my position that threats or no threats, criminal organizations are dangerous 24/7/365 and should be eradicated.
These kinds of rumors pop up now and then. Always be prepared, regardless of the rumors.
Wife got home just a while ago from talking to the original person.
She said that they were concerned about making it into an event where the gangs would get publicity over it, so they were keeping things quiet for now.
She couldn't talk much further on it.
Sorry if most of you think this is just a rumor.
Personally, I would rather err on the side of caution and prevention.
I am going to stick with my position that if people commit crimes, they should be tried and punished justly if found guilty.
As for the Elkhart thing- urban legend stuff that happens every time it gets hot.
Lets see where this plays out before we march forth with torches lit.
Good idea but it is not the INGO way!
I see both yours and Kirk etc's sides. And I lean toward Kirk and HM... OK, we have a rumor. Shields up and take it with a grain of salt to protect those in the trenches. Once shots are fired, cars burned, etc then we can discuss budgets. But until something concrete appears, its just that, rumor.
The reason I doubt these rumors is that gangs have nothing to gain by doing this. Why risk prison and death to intentionally go after police officers? Gangs are about business and starting a war with the police will end terribly for the gang. It’s bad for business. LEOs just need to be cautious at all times, regardless of cloak and dagger rumors spread by random people.
