I'm sure all you guys smoke me these days. I haven't picked up a bass in over a year and only occasionally grab a guitar when the mood strikes me. Since I squashed my band and stopped gigging I haven't fucked around with any of it too much.

Tone I got though. Both bass and guitar. 4001 or Spector NS4 through a late 80s Ampeg SVT II non pro. American Telecaster, '74 SG or Carvin TL60 through a '61 Brown Deluxe with NOS Blackplates and Bugle Boys in the pre.

So what I lack in skill I make up for with stellar tone.

My City made the top dirtiest cities in the US. Yippee!!!! Now I know why they just filmed up and coming episodes of The Walking Dead here recently.

Yeah I live outside the city, and seems like any other town. But 1 mile away it's like GTA 5. Inner city filth and unessential citizens. Mostly lazy fucks. We're gonna get an influx of these immigrants soon. I heard 30k. I say if they are getting a free ride, time to work mother fuckers. Get out in the street and start picking up trash. I brought my kid to a park here years ago. Trash all over the playground with a fucking trash barrel right next to it. Fucking pigs.

It's pretty bad here though. 1-2 years tops and I'm out.

Chasity Nunez, 27, and her 11-year-old daughter Zella were shot to death while sitting in their car last Tuesday, March 5

they are third worlders dude. I watched an interview with an ex navy seal and he said it never really struck him as to how different some of these people are until a woman carrying a child just squatted and shit in the street and continued on. Yeah buddy...bring in these motherfuckers by the thousands....such a joke. multiculturalism is awesome! When they get numbers is when they take over and get violent. Muslims that is. Look at Lebanon. Best country in the middle east until muslims became the majority. Look at it now. Most muslims I know are american and normal. These others? Bad news....

It's hard man. I know there are some Muslims in my hood. But other than the fact that I know they are Muslims, they are in their living room doing their thing and I know nothing about it, which is the way it should be. But most of me thinks that religion is a fucking disease that needs to be eradicated. But then you have some of these right wing Christians that are stark raving mad. Getting all worked up over abortion and shit. I think religion in a lot of ways is for people that don't have enough going on in their lives. But church does some good. I know some people of faith, normal folk, help out others and all of that. But I think the best advice is keep your religion in your living room and shut the fuck up about it, unless someone else asks you about it. I don't understand the need to convert others to your belief system just because you have no hobbies, skills or interests. Fuck off with that shit. Just tired of hearing about Islam, it's uninteresting and fucking boring.
 
I was all over the place with my reply...lol..yep these third worlders are not like us. The muslims seem to be the worst. And by that I mean the ones from africa and the middle east...aka syria and wait till they start bringing in palestinians. Yea buddy! I would rather deal with a dumb fuck right christian than those fucks any day. My problem is not with the legit immigrants doing it right and becoming citizens. That's great. These others that won't conform....going to be trouble. Look at europe. Keep an eye on your wife and daughters.

There’s none in my hood. Not real far north though. St. Louis county and even northern Jeffco are becoming “ multi-cultural “. Where I live, even most white people don’t want to go. Which is just how I like it.

I got a big ass thing of pepper spray. Well it's not that big, but maybe like 1/4 the size of mosquito repellant, but much bigger than the purse carry size.
It's about 5 years old. 2 years ago I was curious if it still worked, to a little, and I mean "Little" toot into the toilet upstairs. "Yep, still works."

Went downstairs and about 5 minutes later wife is like "WTF" and we were all gagging. Opened the windows, but the cats in the basement and left for 2 hours, LOL.
Shit is strong as fuck eh? I can't imagine getting sprayed in the face.

I have a huge rambo knife as well. I also have a security system and cameras outside my house, some are mock cameras with a blinking LED. So I think there's enough deterrent, save for some tweaker to come by. I have night lock door guards on all entrance doors also.

So besides all that, what else do you psychopaths recommend? Dog is out of the equation also. I don't have the bandwidth to walk a dog. Wish I could have a shotgun, but I got bad PTSD and sometimes with loud sudden noises, my behavior can be unpredictable and that scares me.
Of course I live in MA, so if someone breaks into my home, anything short of offering them Waffles at 3am will end up with me in Jail.

Pepper spray definitely packs a punch! Your setup sounds pretty solid overall. Maybe consider adding some non-lethal options like a taser or baton for extra peace of mind.
 
Don’t use pepper spray inside your home…unless it’s a last resort. You’re gonna light yourself and your family up also. Shit we used at work was brutal. And when you used it inside watch out. Hell outside was bad too.
 
A can of wasp spray is a very effective weapon, but you didn't hear that from me.

Yeah, if you have nothing else. Doped up fucktards have been known to still kill a mother fucker even after they've been shot 8 times with a 9mm. Trust a can of wasp spray ? Don't think so.

Shoots 20 feet and the perp will never see again. But he will probably sue if you don't finish the job.

First off that’s a lie. I’ve been shot in the eye with wasp spray, I see just fine. Second, it’s nowhere near as effective as mace and I’ve been maced before, while driving. Didn’t wreck, would not incapacitate a determined attacker.

Both wasp spray and mace/ pepper spray are only acceptable as last resort defensive tools or as an advantage against an unarmed attacker. Anyone who chooses either as a primary defense tool is a fool.

Don’t believe everything you read on the internet dude.

Growing up in NYC, I have seen the effects of wasp spray first hand, they must have made it less toxic.

They did, but if it has ever caused permanent blindness it was in rare instances. The wasp spray of 40 years ago is what I got in my eyes.

If you get bored, Google “ Does wasp spray cause blindness”. Not only will my claim be confirmed, you will also get lots of information about why wasp spray should not be used instead of “ bear spray” or mace.


This wasp spray recommendation is a recent phenomenon I’ve been seeing on the internet. As advice it’s about as useful as the old “ Just racking your shotgun will scare the bad guy off” or “ you don’t need to aim a shotgun” tropes.
