My dog's role would just be to make me aware of the situation... then would go down and likely lick the robber's face off.  Her only adversaries are the mailman and delivery trucks.   Everyone else is a friend and a potential source of a treat.  

 

Honestly though, she'd likely be a pretty good deterrent if they pulled up with a van to put their awesome merch in.  Vans are basically delivery trucks and she'd make her presence known.   An 80 lb. dog that barks loudly that you can't see (she's black as night) is likely going to ward off all but the most brazen criminal.  

My deterrent hopefully is a 20 month old 165lb  Mastiff, (baby girl) and a Remington 870 with 2 rounds of buckshot and 1 Brenneke slug.  
 Lots of people use handguns and they miss, knowing full well you are responsible for every round that leaves your barrel, that’s a chance I’m not willing to take.  Some gun owners underestimate how much a 9mm can penetrate, and of course like my neighbor we have geniuses that use a .454 Casull or a .44 mag for home defense just so he can wake me up with the shot, and a bullet that goes through two homes.

Yup, my choice of fire arm for home defense would be a tactical shot gun, short enough barrel to not get in the way, in a situation I have to use a gun to protect myself or my home/ family I don't want to worry about aiming just point and shoot that shot gun and let it spread, even the sound of a pump action is enough to frighten some criminals.

Getting off on a technicality is an expression that I think is used to push an agenda. People have rights to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures.  You have a right to due process and a speedy trial.  Those aren't technicalities.  They are rights that must be enforced in order to be preserved. If someone is not convicted because the state violated those rights, it's not a small thing. The percentage of people getting a charge dismissed or conviction reversed due to a "technicality" is small.  It's more likely there are charges filed that are not supported by facts known to the prosecutor and prosecutors that hold back exculpatory evidence resulting in convictions.  

I'm no legal scholar, and I agree that due process should always be properly adhered to.  I also think that guilty is guilty.

Reading comprehension is a lost art among the younger generation.

I didn't compare Hurts to Allen, I used Allen as an example of a QB who took three full seasons to become a much better QB.

Though I'll be charitable, I assume you simply didn't understand the reference, and not accuse you of being a troll who deliberately misstated what I wrote to score internet points.

Ignorance is a kinder accusation than malice.

And Josh Allen was on another planet with his talent. That’s why he got three years. hurts doesnt not have the talent that Josh Allen has.  That is why Josh Allen got three years. Jalen hurts does not have that type of talent in the Eagles your howie keeps indicating that to you. 

yeah I really need those Internet points.

Let’s take the gloves off this is my problem with you. You come out here every single day thinking that you’re gods gift to the board like your word is the Fing gospel. I’m sorry you’re not football Jesus that’s all Fing knowing and anything you say we all have to buy into your cult of howie. This is not the cult of afan where we just buy into your bs unproven mahomes or 57 starts errrr 30 starts to prove what a QB is or maybe we blame the roster for hurts lack of development meanwhile you boasting about howie not being that bad at drafting 

Another thing a lot of us have been wrong on this board before but at least when we were wrong we own it and say we got it wrong. You when you get proven wrong with factual data and evidence, then you run away and then go well I don’t wanna be caught up in a gotcha moment where you get internet points. I couldn’t give a crap less about  "Internet points”.   That is a pretty typical RTK move to say that garbage tbh. The day you admit you are wrong on anything on this board will be the first time. That’s your problem. that you don’t ever think you’re wrong and if people show you with facts and evidence that you’re wrong you just run away and hide. 

and the funny thing about reading comprehension is I don’t even think you read your post on here at times. Remember when you told me you didn’t say Patrick Mahomes is unproven and the discussion was brought up about him being a HOFer. And then i had to show you exactly how that discussion went and it was the complete opposite of how you had it going down? Or yesterday when swoop showed you proof of what you wrote even though you comically denied saying it. So I suggest if you’re going to make reading comprehension a big argument for yourself that maybe you do your own reading comprehension to your own posts. know what you actually say and not try to change the narrative after the fact you said it

Cam is a guy who can come in and run a backyard offense and maybe win a game or two, he's no where near the threat he was as a runner and Injuries have sapped his arm of the cannon it once was but Cam was never a guy who was accurate or could read a D and shred a defense with his arm, but he'll sell some tickets and give that fan base some hope even though he's no where near the player he used to be.

Jalen Hurts does not have close to the physical skills, arm talent that Josh Allen has.  As posted above, the throw Allen makes in that tweet, Jalen Hurts is incapable of making.

I think you're missing his point which I understand to be about allowing him to develop.  I do think Hurts could make that throw but he would have to make the decision to make that throw quicker.  He can't throw with that velocity.  He can throw it that far and on a line drive.  It's the surveying the field and making the decision that's a bigger issue than arm strength with Hurts.  The problem with waiting for him is that he will never have that arm talent.  I think he has farther to go than Allen in terms of pocket presences.  Still if his ability to process and execute improve he could be an above average starter.  I'm not holding my breath.

Proof you did not watch the trail.  Testimony and video evidence, shows that he was there to help. 

You are wrong about that. I did. Best part of the defense case is the first guy charging. Worst part of the defense case was the last two shots into the first guy.  Both horizontal with the fatal in the back.  I said manslaughter or third degree not first degree.  But an individual carrying a gun from out of state to a protest area is a signal the "help” was potentially using that weapon.  That is a law enforcement function not an out of stater vigilante function.

Well, the Panthers are desperate. They are still in the playoff hunt but were likely going to have to start PJ Walker with Darnold out due to injury. Not that Darnold is much better but PJ Walker is atrocious.

That is not a throw you can anticipate that window opening.  That is a late developing window, and you have to drive the ball into that window.

Yeah Darnold has been awful, I'd argue Cam might even be an upgrade over Darnold, and yeah PJ Walker is garbage.

Having said that don't think can makes them any better.

The reason Josh Allen got the time to develop was because his talent was considered to be an elite talent in his arm and legs. That’s why he got that much time to develop.  If Jalen hurts had that type of arm talent and ceiling then he would get that amount of time to develop. And probably would’ve been a top 10 pick and not be here. Furthermore the Philadelphia eagles keep continuing to show you that they don’t believe Jalen hurts is that type of talent as they keep trying to acquire quarterbacks that most of us except afan think have higher ceilings (not talking minshew here) or already considered to be top 10 QBs 

However the fact still remains that afan for an entire year+ talked about hurts was drafted strictly to be a back up and that’s why they drafted him. But now we should give him 3 years like Josh Allen even though he’s told he doesn’t have that type of talent of josh Allen and was only supposed to be a backup. 

And let’s just be honest with ourselves the last two games they’ve averaged 15.5 pass attempts per game. And 43 rushes per game. You think that’s sustainable? At some point in time teams are going to just take the run away and make Jalen hurts beat them consistently with his arm. Which as we saw before the last two games that he could not do consistently against the better teams in the league.  The end of the season schedule is very similar to 2019 where I called it fools gold then. They played a bunch of bad team and put up points against bad teams. Those bad teams are not the teams you have to go through to get to a Super Bowl. So great they are gonna put it on a lot of bad teams. You know how teams get put in a bad position? They buy into the BS numbers against bad teams and then find themselves continuously in purgatory cause they just can’t do it well enough against better competition. Which besides the chargers game (where they were down their 2 corners) they’ve been exactly that.

Reagor is interesting. He doesn't get a lot of looks as a traditional WR, but is that because he can't run the right routes where the coaches don't trust him? But they trust him enough to use him in gadget plays?

I liked the pick initially, although I would have liked him in the 2nd, but he has not played well at all. I fully expect them to hold on to him for a few more years and waste a roster space solely because he's a 1st round pick.

What does it say that Howie has spent a first and a second on WRs that cannot seem to run routes and a first, second and fifth on WRs that have difficulty catching the ball.  His track record on WRs is pretty bad. 

Whoa.

 You’re probably right, but next season if Horn stays healthy, same for the rest of that defense, a good QB should have them in the playoffs, that good QB isn’t Cam.   I’m still surprised they traded for Darnold this season.    
 I can’t believe Rhule thought Darnold was much of an upgrade over Bridgewater.

Moreover, what does it say that he's not held accountable for his inability to draft WRs or CBs in a pass driven league?
