Rod38um Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 http://voices.washingtonpost.com/federal-eye/2010/05/woman_killed_by_police_after_h_1.htmlWhen police arrived, the man answered the door armed with a handgun. His wife also approached with a shotgun, pointed it at the officers in a threatening manner and was later shot and killed when she refused to drop the weapon.

SJC1000rr Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Shrug, guess I don't see any issue here. Thats like confronting your UPS/Fedex person with a gun at the door. Expect the cops to come afterwards, and when you point a gun at them, that outcomes never going to end well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hue jass Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Yea, there's better ways of doing shit. Any stand-off with federal or state forces is always going to end badly. So here, these people tried to make some ridiculous 'stand' against something and found out just how quickly and easily they were dispatched. The heard will thin.

Aerik Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Census people showed up just as I was getting home one day, like a week ago. I got out of the car with a bag of fresh KFC in my hand, they asked if they could ask me questions about the census, and I said, "Now's not a good time."They thanked me and went away. What was so hard about that? People act like these are some jackbooted death squads; in my case, it was a lady in her 50's and a smiley fat guy. Just people trying to earn a bit of cash in a shitty job market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skrewloose Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Waste of $$ ... I had two show up a week a part. Told the first one, I was the only one at that address and that was the only answer they were getting (was working on the bike in the garage) .... the second one, I asked her how much I was paying for two of "you" to show up and ask me the same #$%)(* question(s)?She left.

psyco1 Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 It only takes about a minute, the lady asked a few questions and was gone. The more OH people in the census, the more money comes this way for the stuff we pay taxes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get stopped by the police, do you remind them that you're paying their salary, too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod38um Posted May 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 A lot of people dont like giving out personal; info on themselves, especially to the government. The people in the article obviously reacted the wrong way. I'm all for telling the Gov how many people live in my home but I'm not giving out financial or personal info to them no matter how friendly a person they send around to collect it.
