It’s a small town. Lots of politics involved. Probably a personal vendetta. One of the big fish in the small town decided to flex his muscles.

Consider Switzerland.
They have mandatory military training and a very high rate of gun ownership. Most homes have at least one gun, including military style rifles. Owning and learning to properly use a gun is part of their culture.
The murder rate in Switzerland is extremely low. They haven’t had a mass shooting incident for over twenty years. Additionally, property crime is quite low. Who wants to break into a home knowing there is a semi-automatic weapon there and someone trained to use it.

There are many situations where guns are used for self defense. It probably happens on a daily basis somewhere in America.
However, the media chooses not to cover it. It doesn’t fit their narrative.
And, if you consider that the threat of a gun can prevent a crime, then guns owned by good guys prevents crime daily. Just consider that the Indiana shooter chose a gun free zone for his crime, not a rifle range.

The 22-year-old man who shot and killed the would-be mass shooter at the Indiana Greenwood Park Mall was armed because of “constitutional carry.” There are 25 states where a gun permit is not required under constitutional carry, including Indiana.
The good guy with a gun has been identified as Elisjsha Dicken. He fired 10 shots at the gunman, hitting him an unknown number of times. He had no formal gun training but was taught about firearms by his grandpa.

Want to know how we can have inflation and recession at the same time ? By taxing regular citizens to overpay millions of government employees. There were 86 LA firefighters who were paid over $400,000 last year. That doesn’t count the pension they will receive based on that pay level.

“Mark, you seem like an extreme right wing nut job. Why are you scared of guns?”
Go back and read my OP, slowly this time. It’s a cut and paste about the shooting. Facts only. How do you reach the conclusion I’m scared of guns ? I’ll wait.

“Apparently, many of the drilling permits held by industry sit unused due to lack of investment.”
An oil permit represents a billion dollar, and a 20 year, investment. If a President has already told you he wants to wipe out your industry, you’d be a fool to make that sort of commitment.

“the latest Baker Hughes numbers show the US rig count now at 756, up 272 in the last year which is +56%”
That’s some clever date picking right there. The number of active rigs dropped in half in 2020 because of CoVid. The recent increase is simply bringing those rigs back on line. Meanwhile, the number of drilling permits has plunged since Biden became President.

The Financial Times reported last week that EU authorities reported massive ‘black market’ sales of NATO/US military weapons and munitions ship into Ukraine to gangs in Western Europe. This is exactly why Sen Rand Paul demanded an Inspector General be appointed to oversee the billions of aid .

The Democrat brain trust ( Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer 😉 ) is still using the same election strategy they’ve used for 50 years:
- We are the party of compassion
- We’ll give everyone free stuff without raising the deficit
- We are smart about foreign policy
- Republicans are the party of the rich
- Republicans hate blacks, Latinos, women, children, senior citizens, and puppy dogs.
- We only have a few years to stop climate change
Democrats have managed to destroy their credibility on all these issues. Inflation. Afghanistan. Hunter Biden. Transgender. Crime. Etc. The old playbook is less and less effective but Democrats keep running the same plays.

Joe Biden is on record as saying he wants to eliminate the fossil fuel industry in America. Is that what you mean by the right balance ?

When the failure of socialism is pointed out by looking at Cuba and Venezuela, progressives always respond that they didn’t go far enough. It wasn’t real socialism. If real socialism ever takes place, it will be heaven on earth.

Biden, or whoever controls him, has implemented the progressive agenda. That was the utopia that progressives had sought for decades. The longer that agenda is in place, the more people realize what a disaster it is. But, the 20% of true believers will not admit it’s the progressive agenda that has failed. In their eyes, any failure is the result of any number of factors except the agenda itself.

The fishnet dancer fits the description of a former fave HL dancer of mine who disappeared. Any chance she was a thirtysomething spinner named Fancy ?

Going at 4:30 is about the worst time to go. Day shift is mostly gone and night shift hasn’t started.
Still, this is an accurate description of S44.
For those willing to invest the time to become a regular, and sort through the dancers to find winners, S44 can be worthwhile.

More annoying to me is the constant claim that people are buying “ automatic” weapons or assault rifles ( scary looking guns ?).

A survey from The New York Times and Siena College found that just 1 percent of 18-to-29-year-olds strongly approve of the way Mr. Biden is handling his job. And 94 percent of Democrats under 30 said they wanted another candidate to run two years from now.

Joe Biden went hat in hand to Saudi Arabia to beg for oil, even meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman after he said he wouldn’t–and after Biden called the kingdom a “pariah” nation. When he came out of the meeting, it was clear Biden had nothing, but he tried to make it appear he had something.
In addition, Biden said nothing about increasing US energy production.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, signed into law in November 2021, appropriated $1.2 trillion for new infrastructure projects. As part of this law, Congress authorized $370 billion in spending for roads, bridges, and other transportation projects. But the law contains a quota, requiring that at least 10% of all funding ($37 billion) go to small businesses owned by “socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.”
Federal regulations define “socially disadvantaged” as the following racial or ethnic groups: Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Asian Pacific Americans, or Subcontinent Asian Americans. And women are deemed “socially and economically disadvantaged.” Small businesses owned by males who are not in these preferred racial groups cannot compete for this money. This would include not only businesses owned by white males, but also males whose ancestors are from many countries in Central and South America, North Africa, the Middle East, and North and West Asia.

They are from the government. They are here to help:
“Colorado has a new 27 cents retail delivery fee that applies to all deliveries by motor vehicles. This includes Amazon deliveries, florist deliveries, food delivery and more. Many small business owners in Colorado Springs are not happy with the new fee, and one small business owner tells KKTV 11 News that it’s costing her more than $100,000 to implement new software and systems around the fee for all her business.”

It’s been a while since I lived in LA, but I recall there is still land in Long Beach and nearby areas that could accommodate high rises.

Sugar44 is different. It’s a regulars club where buying a drink for the dancer is the norm. It’s the opposite of a wanna dance club.
Obviously, enough customers like that enough to keep S44 in business. It’s not for everyone.
