Perhaps the author is trying to say that the scammers don’t accept an answer of no.  Kinda like hard sell sales tactics.

Amazing that an instructor who relies on scared people to pay his salary would spread stories of how scary and dangerous the world is.

“They’re aggressive to the point that police say they refuse people who turn them down for help.”

It’s like someone watched batman and saw all the gangs organized and said “that must be how they all work!”

Nobody is going to try that on somebody my size. And if they try it on my mother, I pity the fool. She WILL hose them down with gas and toss a match their way. She may be crazy, but she’s ex-military and one cast iron bitch when she wants to be, even at 75yo.

This smells like one of those “it happened to one lady in a random PA town so that local police department is warning everyone nationwide...” type of things, like the whole “gangs flash their brights at people and commit violence as part of gang initiation” thing that was going around the internet for a long time.

Some…

Pretty sure a municipal police or state trooper/highway patrol escort out of a given area is pretty standard procedure. I’m surprised that it seems novel to you. The problem in America is that sometimes they do this and sometimes they show up in riot gear and take a stand instead. It all depends on who is protesting…

This is a relatively low threat reminder that if enough people say it, it doesn’t matter if it was true, it becomes reality. Didulo is a crackpot and her followers are completely delusional but she could easily become a real threat if she was charismatic enough, convincing enough, etc. Its a reminder to people to bulk…

I’m assuming that the wheels, catalytic converters and contents of every car will be gone within 48 hours, to the bemusement of the guards on duty, anyway.

What are the odds that the insurance companies use the delay in getting to the cars as an excuse to not pay any claims?

I suspect that this was caused by Florida. Florida is irresponsible for so many Florida things that Florida has nothing to do with. So, this one, Florida.

Nice.  And logical perspective on the occurence.

US Goverment: “begins laughing in predator drone”

I wish all gun owners had the same attitude as you. 

Lets make sure to cover the rest of the story from the trib

This went down the way it needed to. I am normally very critical of any killing at the hands of police but in this case it’s pretty black & white. This “Sovereign Citizen” was the aggressor and earned his Darwin award, full stop.

We love to take our 700+ horsepower $100k trucks to festivals about self-reliance and being kind to our earth mother or some such, don’t we folks. 

That RV is fucked. Shitty aluminum frame, stapled together interior panels, press-fit water lines... The modern RV industry builds shit that barely lasts 10 years when the units are treated well. This just bent or broke a bunch of stuff. 

That looks fun. Isn’t a TRX kind of the opposite of the Burning Man culture?

If that is how the dude was talking to the tower, I seriously question his ability to fly the aircraft. It is almost nonsensical and certainly not how they are all taught to request anything from ATC. The rules are very specific. Sure we BS with the pilots a bit when there is time but are we sure he wasn’t having a…
