Last year saw unprecedented violence and vandalism, veritably cheered by TV’s talking heads. Many Americans — including some in government — endorsed a #defunding of police.
California passed Proposition 47, which reclassified theft under $950 as a misdemeanor. Unsurprisingly, such a move didn’t return the state to its former glory. But it may have helped the hammer industry:

Societally, we don’t appear to be lunging toward lawfulness. Even so, one component’s declined to go soft on crime: the American firearm. Case in point: a recent restaurant robbery in Pennsylvania.
As reported by Philadelphia’s NBC10, Thursday night, three men entered the Bold Pizza shop in the neighborhood of Spring Garden. They demanded money from the register, but the female cashier said a code was required. One of the men reached over the counter and began strangling the woman.
Unbeknownst to the assailants, she had an ally on hand — her 14-year-old son. The teen pulled a pistol from beneath the desk. Before Mr. Choker could exit the situation, a round exited the barrel.
The homeless projectile soon took up residence in the man’s face. This migration convinced him to stroll elsewhere.
In the basketball game of criminal tracking, police arrived to a layup. They needed only follow the tomato-y trail.
Three blocks from the pizzeria, it ended at a subway station. There they found a man fond of emergency medical aid, harboring a large amount of cash. The suspect was unarmed, but police remain unsure whether he was packing heat when he ate a slice of popperoni.
In addition to his negative eaterie experience, he’s implicated — along with the rest of his trio — in the robbery of a nearby pharmacy mere minutes before the restaurant raid.
