Zoo, where do you live, Syria or Chicago?? I'll avoid that area. That does seem like quite a bit of gunfire to endure. Sounds kind of like a Mel Gibson movie.
The events occurred in the seventies and eighties in Southern California, Nevada, and Arizona. It does sound like a lot of terrible events to have endured and something out of a movie. Even as if I'm trying to spread tall tales! But sadly, for many active law enforcement officers, it wasn't a particularly aberrant set of experiences, either back then or even now for many people in that line of work.
It is also not something to brag about. I'm not anything resembling a hero, in fact I seriously doubt I'm the kind of guy you would have liked for your daughter to have brought home for dinner.
In fact, considering our current national social and economic situation in this country, I risk throwing salt on already festering wounds by talking about some of this stuff. It even looks like the proverbial you know what is about to hit the fan once again. We have our President apparently attempting to further radicalize an already radicalized right wing group in this country telling them to "stand back, stand by."
I'm curious where these attacks by right wing extremists occurred and who were they? KKK, Arian nations?, didn't see anything on the news about it and that's usually headline news.
They occurred in the seventies and eighties and some did make the news. In one particular case, the national news. Sadly, if it weren't for my failure to have effectively engaged a right wing white supremacist "survivalist" back in 1985, the death of the first female agent killed in the line of duty in the history of the FBI might not have occurred (at least not iin that year). In my defense I did take two bullets in that engagement.
I apologized to the OP and forum staff if it appears that I'm trying to hijack the thread or cause the thread to drift off into unwanted territory.
