I give you a scenario.
We have approx 9000 people in prison. They all need feeding, medical treatment and containing. We have a very thin blue line of Corrections Officers doing this daily in, around the clock shifts.

What happens when we get an outbreak of the virus in the prison? What happens when the staff get infected and have to self isolate? How do we manage 9000 convicted criminals? - Yes, and lets have some serious discussion here and not the usual shit I hear like just let them all die.

The truth of it, we are a humanitarian society and will not let them die. If we can't manage them or keep them alive in prison we will be faced with the same prospect of what is already happening overseas......we will start releasing them. US is already releasing low risk offenders. Iran, reportedly, overwhelmed with the virus have released something in the order of 54,000 prisoners. Don't quote me on Iranian figures, it is a hard number to confirm.

However, the army will be getting called in to just be there to assist when the thin line of essential support services starts falling over, wherever that may be.

Marshal Law? I am sure that is also a possibility but will be the final choice. Lets not scaremonger.

Cheers
Phil

The Army have been present the whole way through this current process, in an advisory manner. This IS standard procedure in events like this, and is common-sense, as is Martial-Law, which can be Officially -Invoked any time through this period. This is nothing new, or scary, for anyone acting normally. Crazies and idiots will get sorted swiftly, it has to be this way in extremes such as what we may be heading into. Imagine how things could really get out-of-hand, and escalate, if the 'Services' were not on standby. I believe Martial-Law is automatic at Level-4, if it needs to be applied. Enjoy the break, fix a few things, camp on the lawn with kids and roast marshmallows. If it does all turn to shit, then 'Plan B'

They have my blessing to lace the methamphetamine supply with the Covid-19 virus and remove a good portion of users with impaired immunity from society in a month flat.

Job done.

And to make sure that the desired outcome occurs quickly we could give the shit away free of charge. I like your thinking.

Those bloody grand kids of mine! They are completely out of control. I can’t wait until they are school aged. Seriously though, there is always going to be an element in our society that will take advantage of others misfortune. If the rumour is confirmed then I am happy to call them scum.

Hell, you turn into our road that there is a sign clearly stating that it is Defence Property. You drive to our house and there is a Security Car decked out in full decals in the driveway at all times except when Sharon disappears up the hill to do a patrol.

And yet, sometime between 05:00 pm last night and 09:00 am this morning some cheeky little prick has come to our house and nicked all of our ripe tomatoes off the vines. Sharon is seething - they were her pride and joy - I'm a little more bemused and think that obviously there need was greater than ours. Due credit to them, they haven't damaged the plants and nothing else seems to be taken. They have even left all the green tomatoes that hopefully may ripen up before the frosts get them.

I was working all last night and Sharon was here at all times except for two hours that she was checking security.

Bloody cheeky buggers.

Upshot and lessons learned?
We are not as insulated out here as we thought we may have been. We are setting up a Trail Camera in case we get further visits. We will be a lot more vigilant going forward. And no, all of the firearms will still remain securely locked in the safe......maybe I will keep a piece of firewood handy by the door.

I think we have been the victims of Large Red Tomato Envy.....

Hopefully so, or if not we can just listen to Barry McGuire and prepare https://www.google.co.nz/url?sa=t&rc...bfPFUuYzcramyS

I think crack heads sell. Tomatoes, there were a heap stolen locally.

They don't think like humans, that part of their brain is gone. When they can't get their fix they are going to go mental and do weird and dangerous things.

We just put in new cattle yards next to.my house by a water race. Here's two people, one fishing, both talking, but with a very powerful torch which spent most of its time playing over the new yards.

I take number plates. Any time a vehicle slows down around our sheds or the neighbors, I jump on the bike, ride up behind them, take the plate and ride away. Word gets around.

Here's a mangy lowered BMW, as soon as I pull up, a standard skinny sickly crackhead starts walking towards me with the usual high speed chatter to be disarming, while his mate puts the big LED torch on me so I can't see.

@gadgetman loaned me one of his, so I flicked that on. I won the torch contest. Cheers mate. Took the plate and left.

Criminals will always have a look first because they are weak and lazy and cowardly. Just be blatant about looking hard at anyone hanging around.

They will sell their own mothers love...very low. nice to here from yi T.
KEEP STUFF LOCKED IF YI CAN. peoples.
Plenty of time now to sit back and dream of future hunts :( and take care...be safe............life is darn short :)
