You know, here in Australia, because you went towards the guy, and arguably could have 'escaped', you would be charged with assault. I know of a case where a guy is in prison for murder because he and his mates went out to their own driveway to confront a known drug dealer who had rocked up several hours after driving by the house and firing several shots into it. One of them 'picked up a heavy object' hit the guy over the head and killed him. They had reported the drive-by shooting to the cops several hours before hand. With the cops due to rock up and investigate the shooting, they decided to bundle the body into the car boot (trunk) and drive up the freeway to dispose of it up north. Unfortunately, the duel fuel system was faulty and the car stalled on the freeway. The last I know the sun's coming up, the cops are on the way to their place to investigate the drive-by, and they're on the freeway in a broken down car with a body in the boot. All three are still inside 20 years later. If they'd have waited till the guy came INSIDE the house, they'd probably be free men...

I hope you remain safe...

Here is the US, specifically NJ, the police have no duty to retreat. Matter of fact, the law requires that you "press on." Since I was the police, I had no duty to retreat and actually did not move towards him until the verbal threat. Either way, I am not happy it happened. At least it turned out better for me. I went home, he made a short stop at the local emergency room then off to jail.

Thanks.

Oh, I didn't know you were a policeman! That's entirely different. I wasn't judging at all, just comparing environments. Of course, though, I don't know what your environment is REALLY like, I've never been to America and probably watch too much TV :-)

At least you're safe and well and able to continue to protect people...

Omega,
My heart goes out to you and your family. Beautiful razor and stones, I'm so glad that they gave you some comfort in this time.

Monday 4:30am

Face wash, Stephan Cream, Direct water spray
Simpson w Nomad
Dovo Strop 20 linen/about60 leather
JR Torrey Extra Hollow Ground
Thayer's Lemon, Boatload of Weleda AS, Nivea Replenishing ASB



This razor was my best work on 8k so far. Now I'm getting to the point where I can tell the difference between an 8k shave and a 12k shave. So I might try to hit the 12k with this razor and refine the edge a little. Good shave, close, quick, and relatively comfortable in one pass before work. The Weleda is really growing on me. I love all the alcohol and Myrrh when I throw this on. I just splash on a ton of it, feel the sting, and take a deep breath.......aaaahhhh!
