Guns on the Street

So... I've given up on the story here, at least for a while. The whole point of writing them was to have a soapbox on which to write about the insane presence of armed police officers in Times Square last week. I don't know, maybe they're always there, but usually avoid the area like the PLAGUE!!!!!! and don't know what happens there daily. In any case, twice last week I had to walk through and past the clusters of cops with big guns, dogs, and the like. WHAT?

What sort of country are we living in? Do we really need that? Were they just protecting me that day? From harmless bums on the street? Or was it because they were concerned Iran might decide to bomb us? And if so, what good were their guns going to be? Hrmph. Either was, I was put-off by them.

Have a safe week.
