Oh my Justin.... that is scary.... sorry .. can't help but think this may be somehow "swatting" related.... be it from the "aboves" or some nefarious person who just disagrees with you. I love your writing - please carry on... cheers and please keep your head on a swivel these days!!

Always, My Friend. It'll be a cold day in hell before anyone catches me totally unaware.

Thank You for Your concern and Your kind words. Your heartfelt thoughts and observations are so greatly appreciated.

This kind of thing endangers lives on both sides of the door. That’s the plan.

ABSOLUTELY, My Friend! It's a good thing I've always had a level head when it comes to facing any sort of danger or adversary, and the same thing goes double for the Deputies, since I had my pistol at the ready position when the door opened.

They seemed like two pretty good men, but nothing is quite as it seems these days. I still think back on the twelve cops who were stealing cash and drugs from major dealers in NYC back in '74.

Sad as it sounds, it's best to trust no one these days, at least not completely and certainly not to the point that you give up your edge in any situation.

But to your point, it is indeed the plan. The far left Marxist-Maoists of this country are sowing chaos and wreaking havoc in every manner they can, including doxxing and swatting everyone they consider to be a political enemy, from the ordinary citizen, much like myself, to even police officers and conservative and Republican elected officials. Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene was swatted recently, as have many others to date.

There are no good cops. Every cop has taken an oath to uphold illegal and unjust laws.

With due respect, it's best to NEVER open a door for the cops (unless you called them, of course, and making sure they don't have a warrant). I would just ask if my house is on fire, or what their problem is. The cops could stick their foot in the doorway, then you have another problem to deal with.

Didn't know it was cops ... they didn't answer when I asked who was at the door. But I wanted to know who was outside my house whether it was a prank or someone up to no good or the cops, so I opened the door prepared for the worse.

An ol' guy has to have somethin' to get his adrenaline flowing every now and again. ... LOL ...

But to your point, a cop steps his foot across the threshold of my home uninvited, warrant or not, he's going to come up missin' a few toes, and the rest can play itself out as it will, come what may ... just sayin'.

Thanks for Your input, Frank. I was curious what sort of comments this piece might elicit from the readers.
