Still adapting to the local vehicular traffic

ANTIOCH, Tenn. (WKRN) — One person was critically injured in a shooting along Interstate 24 in South Nashville Wednesday night.

The shooting happened in the eastbound lanes near the Old Hickory Boulevard exit around 8:30 p.m.

Metro police reported one person was critically wounded, but no update on their condition was immediately provided.

Several lanes of the interstate were blocked as investigators processed the scene.

No additional information was immediately released.

I am not going to sit here and pontificate this does not happen in Miami because you would scream “BULLSHIT!” to the top of your lungs and rightfully point out the almost weekly shooting in I-95 around the Golden Glades Interchange.

My thing is that for some silly reason, I expected nicer traffic up here. Southern politeness and all that?  People being charming and helping you deal with the morning rush hour with a smile and a friendly wave. And it does happen, but not on any of the interstates. Rather than being in traffic among drivers following the rules and regulations of the State of Tennessee, sometimes you feel like you are in the middle of a Jeb Stuart raid. And what’s with the tailgating people? Seriously, back the eff up, some of us transplants interpret that as a precursor for carjacking.

I am gonna stick to regular roads for a while. 😀

You guys know I built my “Oh Sh**!” kits around the tourniquets of Recon Medical because they are the good stuff without having to pay up the ass. I got an email from them and they have their kits at a very good price and free shipping to boot.

If you still go around without fast access to a kit like this, you have no more excuses. And if you are looking for a gift to give to somebody in our same mindset, this does not get any better. It is cheaper than most boxes of ammo and as equally or more life-saver.

And I am going to say this once (again)(And updated, Video added)

Citizen’s arrest is dumb.

”You are not sworn to endanger your life to apprehend a dangerous criminal, nor you are paid to do it.”
Jim Cirillo


I am quoting myself from the discussion in the comments section.

Legal use of Deadly Force for self-defense is a last option action, it means other ways have been exhausted or are not available. Even though there is the possibility of legal issues down the road, the other options are either ICU or a slab in the morgue
Citizens Arrest is optional. If you act, you are liable to whatever happens if the arrest goes sideways. If you don’t act, the possibility of you getting in trouble goes almost to zilch.

Why borrow trouble?

Because arrests never go sideways, right?
