Delete comment from: The War on Guns
I was on the sidewalk approaching the office when I pinged this guy. I KNEW he was trouble. I maintained eye contact and started ... REACHING... He found somewhere else to look and somewhere else to be. I live in Condition Orangish-Yellow.
I don't like the term "mugged." Sounds too cozy, like grilled cheese and a cup of tomato soup at Mom's house. Call it what it is: I was robbed by intimidation and threat of harm or death. "Mugger" is old slang for "purse." Mugger-snatcher was shortened to "mugger."
Why do I associate the term with gun-free NYC? Hasn't Bloomie tamed those thugs YET? He sure has tamed some Virginia gun dealers. Yes sir, yes sir, three videotapes full, sir.
