That's fine if you're young and strong, a baseball bat isn't a lot of good in the hands of a frail elderly person or the largely non violent members of the community! I want to see our POLICE force swinging baseball bats at the thugs instead of riding by in their cars. Another thing what happened to our six foot plus policemen of yesteryear? I'm 5' 6" and I swear I stood behind a copper the other day who was shorter than me, at least his helmet kept the rain off his shoulders!

The Police should be doing something but the point is that they are not. The elderly will just get attacked and the non violent members of the community should stand up for their community. I am not a violent person but I don't like bullies and thugs and I stand up for myself.
