  1. I was meeting a friend in small town Northern California today at a downtown park to sell him an antique bottle. When I stepped out of my car I was immediately accosted by an angry black man that accused me of calling out to his dog. He was in my face daring me to defend myself ordering me back. I asked him why he hated me and that I don’t hate him. I reminded him that it was Sunday and a beautiful Lord’s day. He then accused me of being a demon and that I was afraid to die. The dog was nice and was sniffing me – I did nothing to attract him other than being myself. I managed to escape without getting into an altercation. Blacks are quite capable of racism and aggressive ones enjoy shooting each other. I’m thankful the Lord protected me today and I’m sure that individual will be in and out of jail soon. I still refuse to hate them.

  2. “I was meeting a friend in small town Northern California today”

    As a fellow NorCal inmate, would you mind telling us what little town that was? I can’t think of any small NorCal town that would have that many militant blacks living there.

  3. Wheatland! Holy Crap Chalupa, sounds like a suicide attempt. You’re a good man. I probably would have tried to diffuse it too, unless my wife was with me. Strange times my friend. And they keep getting stranger

  4. I was at a Jack-in-the-Box Saturday, a deranged black dude was sitting in the lobby yelling. I was ready for him to start some shit because I would have gladly stabbed the motherfucker.
    I ate my sandwich and watched people come in, see him and turn the fuck back around and leave.
    If the employees called the cops, they wouldn’t do shit.
    This is Las Vegas and the cops DO NOT COME!
    Not lying, they don’t fucking bother anymore.
    Our governor should be shot in the face, along with his cunt wife just for good measure.

  5. It’s a no win situation Brad. And I had one beer at home before my friend called me so right off the bat I’m guilty. It’s an interesting situation looking straight into the face of death and hell from six inches. But I wasn’t scared and I think he could see that.

  6. Loopy, go buy some pepper spray. Buy 2. Take one outside and learn how to shoot it.

    When you need to use it, aim for the chest and spray up. I’ve deployed mace more than 6 times. Every single time the perp looks down when the spray hits the chest. The chest is a big target, hard to miss. Walk the spray up into the face.

    They turn around to get away but here’s the cool part, the crap on their chest doesn’t go away. They’ll be gasping and twisting away. Guaranteed. Plenty of time to deploy a collapsible police baton, tire iron, baseball bat or golden lasso of truth.

    Bonus tip. Using one canister up outside exposes you to the smell and burn a lil’ bit. That way you’re not surprised when you use it in real life.

  7. Burr, some crazy bitch I didn’t know sprayed me in the face with a toxic pepper spray because I yelled at her at an outdoor festival.
    Bitch had it ready to go for some reason?
    Thing is, I could have pounded her face into dust before the real effects took place.
    It didn’t inhibit me in any real way.
    Yes I was in discomfort for 45 minutes afterwards but she is damn lucky she didn’t assume room temperature.
    Shit takes time to hit and adrenaline dampens the fuck out of it.
    Carry a knife or gun, fuck that spray bullshit.

  8. Edged weapons are only for the fuggin crazy and the highly skilled sociopath.

    Pepper spray is waaaaay less likely to be turned against you.

    Also, and I can’t stress this enough. The only way to get over the fear of the police and the system is deal with it. Once you’ve had cuffs on and sat in the back of the cruiser, it’s over. They can’t scare you anymore.

    Don’t go looking for trouble, but don’t stand down either.

  9. Spray has a shelf life. Fresh spray WILL debilitate you. Old stuff loses it’s potency.

    People think they’re like guns. More like an unripe melon.

  10. Loco, the dude is in Cali. You want him to catch a body in the California penal system?

    Wouldn’t it be easier to take precautions like, bringing someone with you? I do deals and I take 2 people with me. Legit or whatever. Safety in numbers.

  11. Sorry Burr but doped up motherfuckers can respirate that shit long enough to fuck you into oblivion.
    A sharp piece of forged steel will stop them much quicker.
    It really isn’t arguable.
    Carry a knife, learn how to handle it and only establish it’s presence when necessary.
    Sure, some bastard may be profusely expending body fluid through his glands ten minutes after you spray him but meanwhile the coroner is determining that you brought a chemical to a junkie fight…

  12. It ain’t up to either of us. Chalupas’ gotta’ figure which way works for him. I say bring friends and go non lethal. You say, fuck it and gut the dude.

    Either way is fine by me.

  13. Like I said before, A D R E N A L I N E is fucking magic dust.
    Be it natural or drugged, adrenaline will suppress ANYTHING.
    Your chemicals WILL have affect.
    Time is NOT on your side however.
    Adrenaline is God’s pixie dust that will keep you alive.
    The speed it hits your bloodstream is fucking miraculous.
    Find a spray that stops it and you have my attention…
    Not looking for an argument but my argument is sound…

    5
  14. I’m not arguing either. Simply offering my experience. I personally find the boredom and tedium of dealing with the police to be an irritation I can do without.

    I mean, you’re talking murther.

    I’m just talking about beatin’ a muther fucker for rollin’ up on me and gettin in my face.

    If you go down that killer route, might as well put the mask on Michael Myers style and go nutz.

  15. OK Burr, we leave it up to Chalupa, as it should be.
    I do have a question though.

    When threatened, what do you think is a better deterrent…
    A sharp knife or pepper spray?

    Think about the scenarios…
    Spray someone, it may send them away but very possibly it only pisses them off… or you pull a knife ready to slice and dice, the motherfuckers KNOW they may get fucked up?
    Pepper won’t kill you, a knife CAN!

    The defense rests…

  16. “Think about the scenarios…”

    Loco, I worked night club security in Australia and the U.S. I’m simply offering my personal experiences. If someone pulls a knife, I’m pulling a gun.

    Chalupa did good by defusing the situation. Not every situation requires a head shot.

  17. Rittenhouse proved that when your life is in danger you can resort to deadly means to protect yourself.

    Judged by twelve or carried by six…

    Seriously, you think these are times for a muted, measured response?
    Burr, we need a war mindset.
    That is where we are… tell me I’m fucking wrong?

  19. My mindset isn’t based off adrenaline. It’s cold and calculating and if I could get away with tappin’ some dude out, I WOULD.

    But alas, these modern times make for difficulty in getting away.
    But go ahead, advocate Chalupa go Johnny 6 guns. Something interesting is bound to happen.

    I’m more Batman. Justice not vengeance.

  20. Burr, I DEFINITELY am NOT arguing for a knife/gunfight scenario.
    If you can’t get a gun, you can GET a knife.
    Pepper spray is way down the list and may get your ass beat or killed.
    It is simply not that effective.

    As for Australia, I spent time in Sydney, Melbourne, Fremantle & Perth.
    Let’s face it, I’m gonna be blunt, they don’t have the lead-pipe niggas there.
    An easy going country that likes to enjoy life.
    The covid hysteria proved that even though the country was founded due to criminals, all those dead motherfuckers are rolling in their graves.
    I was beside myself becauseI had SO MUCH fun there.
    The blokes drink and raise hell and have fun.
    The women are wonderful and I had my share of fun.
    Thing is, pepper spray may actually work there?
    These days in the USA big city…naw!

  21. I must have misstyped when I wrote that I had used the stuff 6 times in the line of my work. I found it to be quite effective when combined with vigorous action on my part.

    I have options in Arizona. Brass knuckles, police baton, knife, all legal. I’m looking at them right now. Not so in Cali.

    Chalupa just needs more people in his whip when he wheels and deals.

  22. …..drive to Arizona or Mexico. Mine were 45 each.

    I rotate my hand weapons. Today was brass knuckle, knife in the back of the belt, small caliber handgun somewhere. Other days I like to tote the collapsible police baton. My next item is a 600 dollah straight razor switch blade deal.

    I believe in options.

  23. Butterfly knives are fun. The whole deal is psychological intimidation as your opponent is hypnotized by the flashing blade and handles.

    You can get a cheap one for 60 bucks. And I’ve never used it…..but I used to stick a tomahawk on the back of my bike.

    Dying to give that a whirl.

  24. The count in Chicago settled at 6 dead and 39 wounded by Monday morning. We had our first really nice spring day on Saturday. The “Car Parties” started up on my street Saturday night — youths park their cars legally on the street and whoop it up and party on the sidewalk, street and between the cars 11 to midnight or later. These are not people who live on our street. No cops anywhere. They were busy quelling the flash mob (300+) at Millenium Park a mile away. Cold and rainy on Sunday so no action but Saturday is a harbinger of the coming summer.

  25. @Calupa: “I managed to escape without getting into an altercation. Blacks are quite capable of racism and aggressive ones enjoy shooting each other.”

    Pan troglodytes do not care who they shoot and loot. Pan troglodytes are clever in that they get what they want and killing you to get it is no problem. Wheatland? Seriously? My niece lives there.

  26. BFD, they must be slacking off in CHI town. We managed to kill 8 with half as many total shootings over the weekend in Indianapolis with only 1/3 the population.

  27. Glad you’re ok Chalupa after that scary incident. Next time consider taking someone with you to conduct a transaction and meet near a police station. No guarantee the police response would be quick if you got in trouble, but at least you wouldn’t have far to go for help.
    BTW, Chi-town is a lost cause for now – so is most of Illinois, my home state. *sigh*

  28. Thanks everybody. I think I’ll get some bear spray for now. Wheatland is one of those small town places where you would never expect this to happen so you let your guard down. They have a police department. It all happened so fast that I just handled things myself. My friend is Coast Guard and just witnessed the madness. We aren’t safe anywhere thanks to open borders and lack of law enforcement and refusal to incarcerate criminals. I always keep my guard up when I’m in the badder towns of California like Stockton Los Angeles San Bernardino and others. Usually i’m carrying a shovel and a probe rod and I move freely without being accosted. Actually it brought me closer to God and showed me once again that greater is He that is in me and the devil is basically a little pussy coward. I’m not afraid and I never will be.

  29. Just remember, spray AND RUN!
    You spray and hang around, you likely just pissed someone off.
    Unless it’s some pussy in which you should simply unload on their jaw with a fist.
    Spray works for women if they run to a better protected source.
    Seriously, consult with a LEO, they will SMDH when you say you have spray for protection…
    They will say “son, come on now…”

    Not trying to stir up shit, I simply want iotwers to live and fight another day.

  30. Loco this guy was so high spray would’ve probably turned him into a Tasmanian devil. I camp in the desert a lot I always have my steering wheel club handy for self defense. Spray would be a nice backup. In that situation I would spray and run.

  31. Chalupa

    Why not get a ccw. You are absolutely correct, we are not safe any where. I put my gun on in the morning just like another piece of clothing. I feel I owe my wife and myself the security. The county you live in passes them out like they’re free. I’d be happy to help with anything i can provide.
