    No, I'm not suggesting anything of the sort and I'm not talking about any specific incident, and in fact, all that stepping on toes, knocking over drinks, spilling drinks stuff are things I have done myself on several occasions....and walked away from without ever getting in a fight with a local. They are things that will happen to anyone that goes into one of these small local clubs. I have repeated, ad nauseam, that I don't want any speculation/conjecture on what happened that night on the forum and to let the authorities handle the investigation. My comments are meant to be taken as general safety precautions and nothing more.

    This is the conjecture I've been asking people to refrain from. (and no one is trying to "explain away murder" here!) This thread was split from the Memoriam thread for a reason.....it doesn't help the family, the authorities or the problem in general. You are looking to persecute and place blame on someone before all the facts are available. It doesn't help anything. I understand people are upset (and rightfully so) but let's try to refrain from letting our emotions take us on a witch hunt. I want to know what happened myself (I have a very good idea of what happened already, which will likely never be posted here) but I don't give two shits about "what if's" or "woulda/coulda" scenarios for that specific night. It doesn't help anything.

    Yeah, there is no incentive to follow laws without enforcement. It's not an education issue. People will do whatever they can get away with.

    I under no conditions would let them take me ...I rather get shot right there and then but I sure would hope I could kill at least one of them...

    I would still wear a face mask, vaccination or no. Nothing is 100% and so people need more than one thing.

    I think you need to be careful with the interpretation of the statement above........Does Freezing Destroy Bacteria & Parasites? I suggest you all look it up. As for Viruses? Notmyrealname?
    Freezing to 0 °F inactivates any microbes — bacteria, yeasts and molds — present in food. Once thawed, however, these microbes can again become active, multiplying under the right conditions to levels that can lead to foodborne illness. Since they will then grow at about the same rate as microorganisms on fresh food, you must handle thawed items as you would any perishable food.

    I don't know.
    I disagree. This conversation is not "completely pointless". The issue is about the neighboring land. Not the land he is residing on. It is reasonable to assume that he has an interest in the property he resides on. A lease would be enough to give him legal standing.

    The OP did say "when we came for a visit". It is reasonable to assume that "we" includes a citizen wife or partner who has legal standing here. The issue is the neighboring property. It is not our place to interrogate him as to his interest in "his" (or owned through a partner) property.

    If this is a little off topic I apologize, but most of this seems to be dealing with buying a used car here. When you go to look at a used car, ask the dealer for a look at the current registration. Make sure the color and plate numbers match. Then check the date of the last registration and particularly the city it was registered in. If it isn't registered locally, or does not have a current year registration, tell the dealer that when they get that done to call you and walk away.

    I learned that the wrong way, but I took the dealer to court, I won, he paid the fines and late registrations and finally I received a current registration in the city I lived.

    Not just here, I could name some places in the US that seem worse now. I feel safer here than I would in any major Cities in the US.

    And polio is a disease I have been vaccinated against and, although I was too young at the time to even think about it, I would again accept that vaccine. It is NOW very well established. But read this "In 1954, clinical trials using the Salk vaccine and a placebo began on nearly two million American schoolchildren. In April 1955, it was announced that the vaccine was effective and safe, and a nationwide inoculation campaign began. Shortly thereafter, tragedy struck in the Western and mid-Western United States, when more than 200,000 people were injected with a defective vaccine manufactured at Cutter Laboratories of Berkeley, California. Thousands of polio cases were reported, 200 children were left paralyzed and 10 died." (Source: https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/salk-announces-polio-vaccine)

    If I had children I would certainly accept them being vaccinated with almost every vaccine currently recommended (after researching them again carefully) but the risks with a new (and hurried) vaccine against Covid-19 are too great for me to accept currently.
