shepp Posted January 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) I’m not smart enough to firmly ague it, nor am I to stubborn to not listen that’s just foolish. Nor do I think everyone going out and buying electric cars and this and that will solve anything. The only thing you can do is try being the best human you can and not be a wasteful prick about it. With that said its so much better today with out the wind, still colder than a nuns cunt but it’s not cutting thru you like a knife atleast. From a friend I saw it was 73 in Az right now that’s sounds glorious but like I told him that’s weather for weak people. I’ll take a few days of negative temps over weeks or months of 110+ Edited January 31, 2019 by shepp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand not gonna mention it to a supervisor, it isn't something my agency trains. they don't like choke holds and armbars. we always just call it a "dynamic application of a trained technique." one of the deputies told me he had a nice bruise on his upper arm from the times he acted up and I had to torque it, just creating that much pressure on his upper arm. lol. big guy too. over 6'3 and well over 250, maybe even over 300. if EMS and a deputy wasn't on scene trying to hold him down, he probably would of gotten several good strikes too.

Sisco Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 You always hope they don’t know, or are too drunk to remember good counters. But the guys who have trained that much usually aren’t the ones to start stuff. When I bounced, I got into it with a self styled “karate expert” He threw a kick at my head, I trapped his leg, slid in close and grabbed his crotch and squeezed as hard as I could. Never knew a guy could scream like a woman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
