A recent interaction between grandma and a war protester in a Metro station in D.C.:
"There were protesters on the train platform handing out pamphlets on the evils of America. I politely declined to take one.
An elderly woman was behind me getting off the
escalator and a young (20-ish) female protester offered
Her a pamphlet, which she politely declined.
The young protester put her hand on killercop's grandma's shoulder as a gesture of friendship and in a very soft voice said, 'Don't you care about the Children of Iraq?'"
Granny looked up at her and said, "Honey, my father died in France durng World War II, I lost my husband in Korea, and a son in Vietnam. All three died so you could have the right to stand here and bad mouth our country. If you touch me again. I'll stick this umbrella up your ass and open it.'"

How To Survive Traffic Stops in America, Submit, Instantly! - What the cops want is immediate obedience and submission. Many cops are ex-military and view the civilian motorists of America about like they viewed the hapless peasants of Iraq and Afghanistan, that is, with contempt, not as fellow citizens deserving of civility and respect. It is a possibly lethal mistake to do anything other than submit, instantly and obey! Or be ready to shoot first. But aim high.
