I moved to a small, quite nondescript Central Florida town from the South Florida metropolitan area slightly over six years ago.  I hate this place.  The only game in town is Walmart and a couple of super markets.  Economics cause me to shop often at Walmart, but I try to avoid the place as much as possible because Walmart is Hell-bent on taking over American retailing and driving every mom 'n pop store in these small towns into bankruptcy, thereby making the former owners dependent upon shopping at Walmart.  They are greedy, vicious bastards who screw their employees as a matter of policy and use sweat shops in China to manufacture their crap goods.  I despise them philosophically and literally.

Anyway, weekends are the worst around here.  There are few jobs to be had around this burg that pay a living wage and unemployed guys are living in hobo jungles, so the bitches who run this stalking program have fertile ground to plow.  That, plus the incredible proliferation of dumb-ass red necks who will stalk someone on their noisy Jap rice-burners by blasting down a nearby road with the engines screaming, or some asshole driving a jacked-up Ford F-250, (which he probably thinks makes his small dick more socially acceptable), tailing me into a shopping center parking lot, or some shitbird who will stalk someone in Walmart or Publix for twenty bucks and a six pak, are plentiful.  And some of these punks just like fucking with an old man.  Bad mistake.

What they should remember is that a young man will kick you ass, but an old man will simply kill you.  One of the things about growing old is that younger men no longer consider you to be dangerous.  Which proves that youth is wasted on the young...

As I have previously mentioned, the State of Florida is a standard bearer in concealed weapons and self defense laws which give a targeted individual a lot of leeway.  We have the Stand Your Ground law here which allows one to use deadly force if confronted by a threat to life or great bodily harm in any place the target has a right to be.  You are not required to retreat.  In my case, this is very helpful, because with my COPD, I can't run a half a block without stopping and gasping for wind.

This means that if three guys come walking down the sidewalk toward you and bunch up and start exhibiting threatening behaviors, you may draw your weapon and use deadly force to defend yourself against the obviously generated threat. Or, if some surly asshole who weighs in at about 250, wearing shit-kicker boots with 3/4 inch soles and steel toes, sporting a shaven head and a goatee, (the usual and almost passe` grooming standard of those who wish to make themselves appear more dangerous and intimidating in American society), shows up suddenly and begins circling you erratically like a buzzard flying a ragged traffic pattern around a two-day-old dead cat lying in the road, that, my friends and enemies, is a threat.

Here in Florida, we don't fuck around.  The pathetic liberals and the totalitarians have yet to usurp our rights to self defense. They're trying though.  Like herpes, they won't go away.

Anyone who is targeted should pay careful attention to these words.  There are almost no places in America where one may use deadly force so liberally and, above all, legally, in personal defense as here in the Great State of Florida.

Now, I am a peace-loving man. I seek no quarrel with anyone. But some asshole who seeks a quarrel with me had better back the fuck off or be ready to go on rock 'n roll.  I will defend myself.
