ROBBED! WHERE WERE THE COPS?

Late last night I took a break from some web work I was doing and decided
to
go out for dinner. I was planning a simple trip through a drive-thru, but because July 1st was a few minutes away with a new "hands free"
law taking effect, I left my old illegal cell phone behind.
Looking at my "land yacht"
Crown Vic, I decided to forego paying Southern California gas prices. (Where's the $20 a barrel we were promised by Fox News for bombing Iraq?)
So instead I walked down
the hill to buy groceries from the late night shopping center -- without
my cell phone.
Guess what happened next?
On the way back up the hill,
I'm
toting my items and listening to my iPod when three black male youths approached from the other direction. They were likely teenagers or perhaps early twenties, but it was hard to
tell in the low light.
They proceeded to punch me
and say things like "What you got there?" and "Give us everything
or we'll kill you!" and "I've got a gun."
Like others who have had
similar encounters recently, I gladly chose to die rather than even consider
giving those punks my iPod,
not to mention my wallet which would just lead them to my home.
So I started yelling, tried
running, and succeeded in crawling out into the middle of the street. Turns out none of them had a gun, a knife, or anything except numerical
superiority, being less than half my age, and in better shape. Maybe
a pirate's life isn't as carefree as the movies say.
The thugs gave up on me despite
getting nothing. Then they attacked another guy who was was walking
down the hill from behind them, and I hailed a passing civilian car (notice
the lack of cops? and thanks for making me leave my phone behind you fucking
pigs) and pointed at the new assault in progress. The thugs took
notice of the attention and left the other guy alone. They got in
a car and left. Couldn't see the plate.
They could afford gas? By rights, I should've robbed them.
So let's recap this incident. Cops not only disarmed the honest citizens with concealed weapons restrictions,
but made only new-fangled BS "hands-free" cell phones legal.
So nobody was even able to
call 911 during the attacks and I sure as Hell didn't want to deal with
cops after muggers I couldn't describe clearly drove off in a small, otherwise
nondescript car, with an unreadable plate.
Also, I won't be walking
to that local shopping center in the future. Kiss those sales taxes
good-bye, government a-holes. California can't fall into the ocean
soon enough. Oh yeah, and you "thin blue line" idiots? Just
let me carry a gun and piss off.
