Not one real Man was found to be present...

Drugs are bad, ummmkayyy...
Over/under on the number of days before one of these scum bags eats a Gold Dot?
meth head at train stop earlier, about got clocked by me. crazy mofo. another couple of inches..smack.
Hate it that I can't carry to and from work. (no place to secure at work)
My guess is the kind of people that conceal carry don't frequent the 16th street mall much- I know I'd be sick of it just finding parking.Quote:

I got off work just at 6, and came out of the building the guy was filming in. I heard the pipe-wielding maniac screaming, and saw him with the pipe. I didn't think he'd get violent.
I missed the show. [Abused]
Long pole, bad weapon against multiple targets, IMO. Difficult to quickly target and redirect an attack once started. Doesn't anyone teach the tactic of getting inside the swing anymore?
The story mentioned he was arrested but I didn't see any mention of him being tazed. Either the reporter omitted that little tidbit or he dropped the pole when the PoPo showed up. Just watching the video, I'm not sure I would have drawn on him, but I wasn't there so I will reserve my judgement. Glad no significant injuries and everyone was treated and soon returned to their urban camping.
Be safe.
I may not frequent that cesspool, but when I do, I always conceal carry. The issue is, if anyone shoots one of these bums in self-defense, it will be in the headlines: Gunman Shoots Unarmed Homeless Person in Cold Blood. Twenty other bums will testify that the shooting was unprovoked.Quote:

I think this would be the biggest concern, which is why I also think there's lots to be said for adding a small sharp fixed-blade and ASP baton to round out the daily carry in addition to a sidearm - much more discreet options and allows for the applied (self defense) force to be anywhere from fuck-them-up-real-bad up to lethal.....Quote:

The current legal and social framework would have me leery about the situation until the threat was directed at me. In addition, the guy's swinging a 5-ft pipe? Grab a damned chair or something to tangle up the pipe then tackle him if you must -- I'd be afraid of stupid anti-gun people taking his side legally because "gun vs. pole". The guy is flipped out but if I can get away from him without shooting, I will. Let the anti-gun pro-bum socialist retards in Denver deal with their own messes.
Pepper spray or a tazer could have ended that real quick. No gun required.
When you close mental institutions and keep unstable people in society....
No. It's not just you.Quote:

When I venture outside the home, I prefer to avoid putting myself in the lion's den if at all possible. A friend of mine who works for one of the alphabet soup agencies told me the other day since June 1st they've made 53 arrests involving Heroin trafficking and every one arrested were ALL illegal aliens from Mexico or Honduras. I am curious to see how far the Mayor lets this type of criminal activity happen in the downtown area before he finally decides to turn his back, shut his eyes and take the leash off of the Denver PD officers.
you do NOT want to stab, punch, or make contact with these filthy druggies. AIDS, hepatitis, and who knows what else they may have. They are street living junkies. Engage from a distance. I'm being totally serious. Think about it. I do.
I think CStone said it best- I would hesitate to draw on him... would have to convince a jury I feared for my life.
If he was coming for me, I was thinking rush & tackle- a long weapon like that is too slow, and you get inside it's reach and he'll drop it (or face the consequences)
If he's attacking someone else, would be a chance to take him down and put him in a hold... this is a situation where grappling like Jiu Jitsu
But cowering and covering their head? All of them? This kind of victim mentality is what will make terrorists successful...
colorider has a point- I don't have experience with that kind of problem... so frankly I'd probably act and regret it later as I'm waiting for test results.
Yup, just walk or run away. Better yet, avoid downtown Denver if you can.Quote:

I'm constantly chasing them out from peeing behind our dumpsters (though this isnt just the homeless but all kinda of various piece of shit denver dwellers) Last one is minor but irks me since there aside from public restrooms a block away, also plenty of dirt/weed and plant covered area in the alleys but they walk up to the alcove with multiple fucking camera's very conspiciously placed and still act suprised when I burst out the door.
Fort Collins is also seeing some bad issues and news article talked about some campground west of there or boulder that is like 70% homeless now living semi permanently trashing the area.
It's not like Denver is the only place with this problem... any place where liberals are in charge this is the eventual outcome.Quote:

The Downtown Denver Partnership has their collective head in the sand. They refuse to acknowledge the multitude of problems that exist on the mall. DPD Chief White insists it's a group of "travelers" that are the flashpoint for the problems. Total bullshit. There have been surveys sent out to conventioneers asking about their experience and they consistently come back with more negative comments, especially regarding the issue of "how safe" people feel.
The DDP has been talking publicly since at least February about how the lighting will be improved, adding unarmed security staff and having more patrols form DPD. Where are the improvements? I, like many of you, do not venture that way at night especially if I don't absolutely have to.
Now the guys that work the PD mall unit certainly have their hands full once the sun goes down but there's just not enough to deal with the degenerates that not only prey on each other but frequently the hapless out-of-towner that has been lulled into a fall sense that the mall is such a nice place to visit on a nice summer night.
I still enjoy living in the metro area though I rarely venture to downtown itself. The major exceptions are when I have friends/family visiting and that's usually for a museum visit. Plenty of great restaurants and other shopping necessities in my area of Centennial (think Southglenn and east to I-25) that I don't have to go downtown.
Besides, no gun shops that way either LOL.
Yup, screw downtown. I never have a desire to go down there. This is why. Too much trash down there now.
I miss working downtown so much, sometimes I fill my humidifier with urine..... (apologies to Emo Philips)
carry a big stick........
My family and I have enjoyed visiting the 16th Street Mall and Lodo area semi-frequently for about 14 years. We like the Paramount Cafe, Lime, Tavern, etc. Most of those locations it is possible and legal to be armed. No way will we go down on the mall unarmed. Coors Field is an exception, but we go straight from the main parking lots to the game and back- good police presence. If we go "wander" after a game, we will relocate the car and re-arm.

Anyone else surprised to even see this reported? It's been going on for some time now. If I had to put my finger on it, I'd say DPD decreased their presence around 2008 and it's gone downhill from there. We had those racially motivated attacks a few years ago too. They tried to bury that fast.
There is a man with a big stick attacking people, why the hell is everyone standing around waiting for him to come their way?!? Unless I'm that first guy that gets hit, I'm not sticking around to find out what this weirdos next move is. On top of that, it sounds like he was lashing out verbally before he ever started getting physical, WHY NOT GET THE HELL OUT OF THEIR!?
Nothing 185g can't cure.
nobody sensible goes to the 16th street mall.Quote:

If Amendment 69 passes, it won't be long at all!Quote:

If you do and he comes after you like that then by all means beat the shit out of him.Quote:
