He was an old store that closed years before, as kids used to hang out in there. I mean, it was way back in the woods. With no road running by it at all. Thanks for bringing up such a great memory.

      Hanzy Scure Assumptions on reported armed suspects have cost cops & citizens their lives over the years. That’s why the police take no chances at all, these days as they want to minimise the risks. Before 1992, the armed response was the local cops armed with handguns that they drew from the stations armoury. After early 1992, we mainly have mobile firearms officers to quickly respond. You send an unarmed cop to investigate these guys & if one had a gun, they could kill him or her, if they were poachers? Also poachers have been known to shoot at people, if they think that they’re getting too close to them?

      @tom dean, I had that pnce walking up a river in Birmingham. I was walking to the shop and a police helicopter crew suddenly banked and turned on themselves, and zig-zagged to me. They hovered very low over me and it scared the crap out of me. They were hovering cery low over a care home for the elderly so I must assume they were scared. Very low. This was March 2013. I heard from several other people in 2013 of police helicopters performing these types of unnecessary manoeuvres during 2013 then it all stopped in November 2013. In November 2013 that police helicopter crashed in Glasgow killing innocent people. My guess is somewhere in Whitehall some sick cunt gave in to the police to allow them to use evasive military style manoeuvres to dodge those non existent terrorist missiles and the pricks with blue tits on their heads abused that permission and went over the abilities of the helicopters leading to a killing. That would explain why it all stopped after the crash. I am guessing maybe what you experienced happened in 2013? The fucked up bit is the inquiry has been left until this year (2019) so five years. That is not normal so I guessing they are trying to figure out how to cover up that police are murderous slime, all for the sale of thinking they are fucking Rambo.

In the end his sister was the one to get him out in the open so the police could bring him in. To this day they haven't found all his hiding spots where he put the stuff he stole.

      @@clockwork9827 Yes it is. I live in Canada and the police have to literally overstep and illegally detain you to get your details. If you have the fortitude and the balls to deny such a request, they will pause and test your intelligence and weight their options. You can deny that request legally but can have your manhood tested. The problem is that the men in Canada would gladly bow down and avoid the silly nonsense of a dick measuring contest and fear everything. Our men have forgotten that they are men and their wives have made them cucks. They force them to eat soy products and some have become vegan and not by choice. The man of the house is generally whipped by a 5 foot woman long before a man with a badge and a gun can test his manhood. In Canada, it is only after a cop over steps his authority and the man passes all tests, can the man force the officer to submit to a higher authority and see justice. For me it's worth the it and I accept the challenge, But as for the millions of men sucking on the estrogen laden bottled water and soy products, forgoing protein to keep up his testosterone, they are lost to the desires of the lowest denominator of our society. A hetero male today is the enemy and being nice to those who aim to take your place on the throne is just insane. I'm not saying be an asshole and treat people badly, but for fuck sake's man, hold your head high and look at another man in the face with dignity and say Not today officer, you are mistaking me for a cuck, which I am not. I have done nothing wrong and I will not bend to your will, do we understand each other. Yes that can be done by real men in Canada.
