good talk

I wouldn't take-on someone who had the firepower of an AR-15, if all I had was a pistol.  On July 18, 1984, James Huberty, went into a McDonald's in San Ysidro, Ca., armed with a number of weapons, and shot and killed 20 (San Ysidro separates San Diego from Mexico, and is the U.S.'s biggest border-crossing, I had eaten in there), one died the next-day.  Fearing that the gunman had an Uzi (600 rounds a minute), which he did, the Police Chief wouldn't allow his Officers to confront, that is, enter the building, after 78 minutes, a sniper shot and killed Huberty (from my neck of the woods, Canton, he had lost a good blue-collar job around there, and was feeling-blue).  2 days later, after the bodies were dragged-out and the blood mopped-up, McDonald's was going to re-open their restaurant, but as most of the Slain were Mexicans, the Mexican Community appealed that their sensitivities would be-offended, and the building was razed, and made into a Memorial.  Steve Breen has a cartoon in the San Diego Union-Tribune, of Don and Melania, relaxing and eating-popcorn, watching "Saving Private Ryan",  ...I would've run onto that beach (Bloody Omaha) without a gun...
