A handful of anticanards get stomped into a digital mudhole in this short clip . Your assignment , should you choose to accept it , is to identify them . This can include any correlation you see between Mike Bloomberg and Richard III and even the newly minted "points " system of self defense .

1. Or a Colt, or even a S&W!

Gun control in Chi town WORKS, at least for the goblins! Notice at the end of the tape that people are just walking by, not even looking at the two men laying on the sidewalk. A sad message of the state of human compassion.

PS Let them try this in Texas, or any other CHL state.

2. Good thing they didn't have a gun. One of the bad guys might have gotten hurt

Do I need a sarcasm tag?

3. This is becomng more frequent.....this is the 4th such attack in Cleveland recently..

..roving gangs of thugs with a 5th grade education.. no jobs..no future. They are graduates of trickle-down predator-capitalism.

Wouldn't those young lads have been surprised if Grandpa came out of that car with a Glock .45 spitting smoke and fire...?

Got Glock? Never leave home without it.

4. "Got Glock? Never leave home without it...."

Good advise.

7. Excellent call , first canard .

First canard : " Capitalism made them do it" .

An excellent observation . And while it may not be the most used , it does come up all the time .

More than worth the gas to get to Austin just to see it happen for real .

[lib2DaBone]

9. I don't think capitalism MADE them do it....

But you must admit.. they are products of a system which glorifies dog-eat-dog. Survival of the fittest. It's Mad Max in the thunder dome.. and we are living in it.

This is the system that sent 14 million good jobs to China. The system that willingly spends $14 Billion a month for wars in Afghanistan, but has no money for Seniors on Social Security, schools, roads or hospitals.

These thugs are dangerous. Life to them is one big nintendo game. If you have a cell phone or a gold chain on your neck that they want.. they will kill you and step over your dead body. No Remorse.

17. I think I get it now

But.... "It ain't their fault".... is still the same thing .

No matter how many times the mantra is repeated , and no matter how much money you throw at the problem the village still does -NOT WANT- to raise the children . And they dont .

5. We do NOT live in a civilized society. Be prepared for it!

[slackmaster]

6. They acted like a pack of angry chimpanzees

They deserve to be locked up for a long time.

8. I'll take a poke...

No guns, no crime.
Just leave and you'll be safe.
Just give them what they want and you'll be safe.
Underage people can't hurt you.
You'll be safe in a public place in broad daylight.
A trip to the store can't possibly be dangerous.
If you get in trouble, just call the police.

Just get congress to amass the political will to pass a law that reduces the civil rights of millions of Americans designed to deal with a specific tactical situation that can be easily circumvented by a semi literate mugger.

10. Where have I heard those before. Let me think..hmmm

[GreenStormCloud]

11. Predictions:

Guns sales will climb a bit in Cleveland.

Applications to carry concealed will increase a bit.

[GreenStormCloud]

12. If the man had been armed, no shots would have been fired.

He could have simply held the gun up so that it could be seen and the young toughs would have scattered.

[rrneck]

13. Plus

if they thought he was armed, they wouldn't have fucked with him in the first place.

[shadowrider]

14. Agreed, however

These kids know where he lives and were congregating in his drive which started the altercation.

If, as I suspect, these kids have ties to gangs, 2-3 AK's would be unleashed on his home had he shown a weapon.

My opinion, and I've been known to be wrong before.

[jazzhound]

15. I agree. It's a big problem when punks like this know where you live.

Even calling the cops on them could easily result in the retaliation which you describe.

Seems like the older gentleman made a mistake in getting into a verbal back-and-forth with these pukes, but of course nothing justifies what they did.

16. Those poor dears...

I'm sure they were just acting out their inner frustrations due to the rampant socio-economic injustices (as well as maintaining their street cred) and coping by having a small elderly beat down hour. Just give them one more chance, please, Your Honor.
