‘When Seconds Count, Police Are Minutes Away’

by AWR Hawkins

As we watch rioters knock innocents to the ground and beat them in the streets the maxim, “When seconds count, police are minutes away,” has never been truer.

The gist of it is this–Help could be a long way off, so the defense of your life is in your hands.

My phone buzzed all night on Sunday, with friends and acquaintances asking me questions regarding how to legally carry a gun for self-defense in this state or that one. They asked about laws on defending themselves and their families in their own homes and wanted to know what state laws said about keeping a gun in the car or truck for self-defense.

Their questions were the kind of questions people ask when they have come to understand, perhaps for the first time ever, that they are their own first line of defense. That the police may or may not be able to make it quickly, and that the time that passes between dialing 911 and waiting for police arrival is time in which the onus is on the would-be victim to protect himself.

On May 31, 2020, Breitbart News reported rioters in Santa Monica, California, knocked a woman off her bicycle and began beating her. A man stepped in to protect her–armed only with a hockey stick–and the rioters simply knocked him to ground and beat him too.
