    That's been going on around Atlanta for decades. That's no exaggeration; decades.
    Kickbacks have to be paid for it to go on for so long.

    Well he’s got two felony charges to add to his rap sheet now,in addition to the arrest warrant out on him for a failure to appear on a traffic ticket!

    Obviously laying low wasn’t his strong suit!

    Dunno.
    I'll say this much, I'm not the friendliest person at 0345 and to find out I was booted would make it that much worse.
    That said, after about 5 minutes I'm more rational. So, despite all the John Wayne posing, I frankly wouldn't know what to do.
    I guess call the police is about all I got.

    I lean left - practice patience and tolerance, but even I'd say $50 is too much to wager.

    He'd squeal with the threat of a 9mm Solution and a bit of yelling.

    Or maybe not.......
    If you point a gun at someone, you are basically obligated to shoot it. Since they will make you wish you had.

    Empty threat still gets a pistol whipping.

    But you're right - draw arms; expect to use them.
