We hadn't seen any trouble locally except this business about May 1st.
Dicks is about 10 miles from me. They robbed it 6 times, and got caught.
But last night the Target was raided in Clovis, about 3 miles from here.
I guess rioters hit over 100 target stores nationally.
Local cops said 10 to 15 people broke into target about 10:30 PM.
They have increased patrols and widened their contact network.
This is the first actual violent looting in the county, ever, in my 45 years here.
I think we will see store owners in Clovis bringing on armed security.
More remote surveillance.
Less willingness to hire black people.
BTW, they stole electronics, all of which have unique internal addresses and as such can likely be traced back remotely.
They all log on to the WWW to check for updates during initial setup.
They
could all likely be remotely disabled too.
People will be calling up customer service for help, exposing themselves.
Meanwhile my dogs will be on duty, and the new kennel will actually accommodate a couple more hounds.
If they raid the Stores across the street from my my back fence, and the cops show up on the main street, my back yard could be a likely hiding spot for looters jumping fences. This could get interesting.
I pray every day that I won't ever have to slaughter anything bigger than a fish; not man nor beast.
It's not something I need. Please, Lord, not that...
But if I had to protect little Judy from violence, my outlook would be directly brutal.
