A tiny glimpse of my local societies collapse.

Lmao! Perfect example of how well Los Angeles is doing....34 second video.

I saw that and was not sure what I found most disconcerting:
A. An armed secret service agent getting successfully robbed at gun point. I hope there were no weapons or secret items in the bag that could be used by foreign operators.

B. The agent fired his weapon and "was not sure he hit anything". So did he spray and pray? It sounded like an ego response.

Gotta be embarrassing. Glad he is alive. But just goes to show how nobody is safe here. Not even an armed Secret Service agent. We need security for an armed Secret Service agent now in LA?!

I had a Secret Service agent buy my compressor and a bunch of tools a couple years ago. He only disclosed his job after I shared my military experience, my PI license and my FFL license with him. All of which require FBI backgrounds. He had just been restationed. And was trying to outfit his garage with some tools. He was a very interesting person. Very fresh faced young guy. But with a build and demeanor that was like special forces different. I shook his hand and we talked for about 45 minutes. He was just built differently. Like a genetic Freak. He seemed like an Olympic wrestling experiment or something. Not super tall. But like 200lbs of neanderthal type body. But with a high level IQ. Super nice guy. But you could just tell you could not f with this guy. I'm sure not all of them are like that. But this guy was just something. Totally intimidating without even trying. Like he could move anyone out of his way. Without even making you feel bad. Lol. I don't even know how to explain it.

The moral of the story is just stay the hell away from big cities.

Ya. The ATV issue is all over.

It's ATV season here.
We can't shoot 'em though....
HUGE tourist thing, like the snowmobiles in winter. The tourists come up, rent ATVs and zip all over, usually ignoring no trespassing signs, speed limits, etc.

So you can only harvest M or F ATV's, you have to skip the non-binary ATV's?

uhhh, this is Florida, the harvesters inspect the pertinent parts after the fact and mark accordingly. There's no confusion in this state.

You see how dull the plumage is on this one? Female.



Brightly colored to attract a mate. [AKA breeding plumage] Male



On close inspection, Male. Underwent some mods, but you can tell by the crank case, and some residual identifiers that can't be hidden no matter how much paint is applied. This one even underwent transmission fluid replacement therapy. Still a dude.
