Now there is a criminal mastermind: spending days, even weeks, prepping the parking lot for his attack. Now with the guards attention turned, he strikes and steals a $70 car radio. Good job guy.
Rent-a-cops that work at parking lots, like in the story in question above, are absolutely not authorized to use any force of law beyond what the normal citizen has. In fact, they have less. Even if they have a CC, they cannot carry on the job and chasing a subject will almost certainly result in them being fired.
Which is known as a deterrent. A quite good one at that.
As for better than a security guard, that remains to be seen. But between an overweight, mouth drooler with a can of pepper spray meandering a parking lot and a mobile recording device capable of blaring noise, flashing lights and bringing lots of unwanted attention, the latter seems better to me.
Just for starters, the latter has a perfect recall of the preceding events. Good luck getting the height or sex or anything useful from the security guards story.
Really? "Security guards" are just put there as a deterrent. Most people in that line of work are on the low side of 80 IQ with no ambition or skills. This is a position that could easily be automated and improved upon in the process. I have no idea how it wasn't done sooner.
Being a very responsible gun owner and having two friends that are firearm instructors (one military and one civilian), I can say with certainty any well trained CC holder has "situational awareness" hammered into their head over and over. It is critically important. With that being said, in this situation at some point you have to decide: should I fire. This man shot over a hundred people. The armed guards should have stepped in and risked collateral damage.
I don't know what you know about concealed carry, so I'll note this: it is illegal in Florida to carry in an establishment whose liquor sales qualify it as a bar. That is an admirable law and I don't disagree with the idea. My point is, no one at the night club could have help. None of them could have been armed.
More importantly, carrying a gun on my person is so that I am not reliant on the police to solve my problems. I find myself in a bad situation where deadly force is required, I'd rather have my gun than wait on the police to come and save me.
Did I miss the article on Democrats expanding gun control laws? We have both parties successfully chipping away at each side. Soon there will be nothing left.
Better idea: cower in the corner and wait for someone to come and help you. Hope you get lucky and they respond quickly. I'd rather take the chance of friendly fire than wait to be saved or killed.
Now on the point of the original poster, not everyone should carry guns, just those that are trained and want to. A person unwilling to use their firearm on an assailant is in far more danger by carrying a gun.
Lastly, a well trained and concerned population is way better than relinquishing everyone's safety to a few authority figures. Look at any point in history for reference.
First of all, that is not irony. Secondly, I actually have muscle tone. I work hard to stay in shape, but I find it is worth the effort. Thirdly, I still don't photograph myself and flaunt my body. I stay in shape for me and no one else.
Everyone has the ability to eat less. It literally requires no effort. People who are fat, just like everyone in this world, do not have the right to have people like them. That's not a thing. It's not "life, liberty and happiness." You have to achieve that last one on your own.

Just like AC's.

Instead the robot can set off an alarm

should the US ever actually need/use the F-35 in a real air-to-air combat
A better example is the Osprey. Look up how many people that engineering nightmare has killed just in testing.

I did notice, but it's not preventing them from trying over and over again.
Huh, no idea where you got that notion from my one sentence. That's some impressive reading between the lines.

It's not a choice. We are losing on both fronts.

And how long before someone "misdiagnosed" sues google. I give it 5 months.
Isn't that a mod option? Mine shows: "Inadequately Drugged"

Lol, I know. I hadn't had my coffee yet and had python on the brain. I couldn't delete the comment though. Feel free to MOD it out of the discussion.
I can answer that one: white space defined functions. Seriously, what the hell?
Both of those questions are even simpler than statistics questions. They are both counting question, not IT questions. Can your wife not count?
So what she really needs is a Logic and Statistics course.
Where are my mod points when I need them. +1 Funny
As soon as your change your prejudice on fitness nuts ;)
It's not "life, liberty and happiness." You have to achieve that last one on your own.
I was saying the same thing.
No, there's a huge number of people who hate on people who are fat that say it's perfectly healthy to be fat.
Self-righteous fitness nuts who think they can lecture people on how to eat and diet.
Self-loathing fat person who lacks self control...
