A few weeks ago I was pumping gas and a car with two straight f***ing weirdos pulled up FAST, looked Russian but sounded like Armenians, asked me for money for “gas” while holding a gold ring as a trade, I looked at him and said, “get the f*** outta here you asked me for money before 3 years ago” same car same situation, he then said not one word looked away and he sped off really fast again and got on the 101 south on casitas pass, it was weird, they needed gas money but drove off like that on the 101 south, only thing is 3 years ago he didn’t look so cracked out as he did now, be careful out there folks we have the 2nd amendment for a good reason
Funny how the gun nuts always conveniently forget the “well-regulated militia” part of the 2nd Amendment.
Yes we have it but are unable to exercise it!!
Make sure you carry your AR-15 everywhere you go. Lame.
It’s CA, we don’t have the 2nd amendment
I think preventing sketchy people from bartering at gas stations with your military-grade assault rifle was one of the main purposes of the 2nd amendment. Alexander Hamilton had some dicey run-ins when he visited Philly. That seems like a good purpose for a well-regulated militia.
Ok call the cops who have the GUNS then lol then blame them for helping you by shooting the suspect that you called for??? So weird lol ok Libbys
