Agreed. If I notice someone running up on me I’m drawing or running one of the two. Fuck waiting to see what it’s about. But you have to have good judgement and fear cannot out you in a situation where you’re doing something out of bias. That in my expertise takes a lot of time observing people who look like criminals and seeing the 2-3 actual criminals mixed in.
I remember one time I saw a carjacking - these two dudes came running up on a guy from no joke 70ish yards off. He wasn’t paying attention but something about that always fucked with me lmao like the terminator 2 Liquid Metal guy

Seems legit. Do you have any literature that I may peruse?

I hear that instead of salt you guys use Old Bay on the roads. True?

Just want to add here that duty to retreat can be broadly considered.
If you are faced with retreating into a roadway you cannot retreat safely. Duty to retreat is not just run away it’s that you can only do so if safe option exists

I had a couple in Garrison a couple weeks ago. I thought the Hanukkah decoration on the door made it obvious to move along, but guess not. The neighbor got a laugh though. She said the look on their faces when I told them “we’re not interested, we’re Jewish. Have a nice night” and closed the door was priceless

I don’t agree with this. Your home, which provides Maryland with tax revenue, should be given the all clear for you to protect, preservation of the home is in marylands benefit as it is an asset for the state. It’s not like the house can move, and I’d never be cool with running from my own house lol, you cannot retreat from the area which you are safest, inherently that involves going to a less safe location which is against the nature of duty to retreat.
The police aren’t protecting it, and your entire life is in one spot. If someone breaks down your door you don’t got time to see what they intend to do, doubly so if you’re just getting out the bed and it’s dark.

We have reddit. There's a lot else to do so we don't spend a ton of time on here like you earthlings. But it's my day off from sitting at the right hand so scrolling through the feed to see what's going on.

This is correct. The fact that the gun was illegal is not related to self defense - I beeline Maryland has case law specifically noting this

It’s going to drop in temperature so quickly that the ground, which will be wet from the continuous rain, will almost instantly freeze into dangerously icy conditions…. And it will be so cold that none of that will melt without treatment

My issue with them is less the parking and more the driving. The ones outside Lee’s Pint and Shell for example extended so far into the road it made driving past an issue.

Reply to comment by superdreamcast64 in Are there any decent psychiatrists anywhere? by RuthBaderG
That’s true I can see that. I don’t mind because I like having a small check in because if I had a problem I would never have an appointment on the schedule otherwise. So a 10 minute Telehealth appointment was no sweat off my balls. And they take my insurance too. But it’s something important to consider.

An absolute crime the Blue Bird cocktail lounge isn't on this list, and Fraziers is. I am reporting you to the "clearly under 30" police.

I made the mistake of a movie as a second date with someone I was on the fence about to begin with. Prebought the tickets and everything, for I am very stupid.
Don't be dumb like me. No movies until you definitely, for sure, enjoy spending time with someone. It's a trap!

Yes, statistically they are less likely to re-offend if they are handled in the juvenile system. Longer sentences and even the death penalty do not dissuade violent crime, in fact they're correlated with greater violent crime. In the time you wrote this lengthy comment, you could have read a literature review on this subject.

Call BPD and tell them someone in a ski mask called an Uber, pointed at it, and whispered, reporting the username, time, and location, and tell me how that goes for you.

Bullet dodged. Besides today is the second day of winter so there's plenty of time for that sort of thing.

“Cities”. Most of the country, hell, most of Maryland, do not face the issues baltimore does.

In you’re home you basically have stand your ground rights. You can’t retreat to a safe location if you’re already in the safest place you can be
