Well... This is fun

[Gathomas88]

Cleaning crew just found these in one of the restrooms at work.

It's probably little more than some idiot teenager screwing around.

Still though, you never know...

It's especially troubling given that I work uniformed security here, and will likely be one of the first targeted if any attack does occur. We're also completely unarmed.

Yaaay... :roll:

Do you have cameras that could see who did it? Who came in and out?

 

[Chagos]

The sky is falling.

Unfortunately, no. The building doesn't have security cameras at all.

We do, however, usually have armed police on station here. That's something, at least.

Why aren't there any cameras? :shock:

Like I said, it's probably nothing.

However, in a world where - apparently - all it takes to turn an "idiot teenager" into a mass murderer is access to the internet and a knife, gun, or chemicals which could conceivably be turned into a make shift explosive, it's not exactly comforting either.

 

[Gathomas88]

Either way, a freaking taser or night stick (at the very least) would be kind of nice right about now. :lamo

Unarmed security?
What do you do if an attack of any sort happens?
Call 911 on your speed dial?
Seems weird that in a country armed to the teeth, security personnel would be weaponless.
Liability issues, I guess.:shrug:

I'd sure see what I could do to get THAT changed. A tactical flashlight makes a great nightstick. Every security guy's got to have a flashlight.

Stay safe.

Because this place is about 40 years old, and basically on its last leg in the wake of the Great Recession. Lol

It's a wonder we're even still open, given how we hemorrhage stores after the holidays.

In the restrooms? You have to ask?

You can tell it's not authentic. Any self respecting Muslim butcher would have written Allahu Akbar into the text. These here idjits didn't know how to spell it. :mrgreen:

Keep a leg of pork handy. They simply hate that.

 

[David_N]

No, outside to see who goes in and out. Somewhere nearby.

Why, carefully walk backwards whistling "Dixie" of course.

Pretty much. Lol

By contract, we're supposed to have tasers. However, for whatever reason, we don't.

If something comes up, we're basically expected to simply tackle the perpetrator and hold them until the cops arrive. Even that's a bit of a gray area though, to be honest.

I actually let a woman go the other day, after running her down, because I didn't want to be seen (or filmed) getting overly physical with her. The cop who was supposed to be with me was too slow and lazy to keep up. Lol

Personally, I believe that it's a stupid teenager with nothing better to do. Because think about it for a minute. ISIS didn't announce themselves in Paris or in San Bernardino.

Yet I must empathize with you; I have done the same kind of work that you are doing now. :thumbs:

Bathroom stall graffiti is a well known Jihadi trademark.

Thanks. Let's hope so!

Stay safe.

Maybe I'll buy one and just start carrying it around with me. :mrgreen:

Seriously though, nice long Maglite of velocity clout is useful for more than just providing light.

I take one when, for instance, letting the animals out for the last night-pee (or whatever), even if the batteries happen to be flat.

Local youths, when visiting during the day to do whatever chore, look at it admiringly as well as with certain trepidation. They're mostly an ok lot but it pays to be "prominent".

Good point of Maggie's :thumbs:

Wait... :2razz:

 

[Gathomas88]

Wait... :2razz:

About 20 years younger, 100 lbs lighter, 6 times faster, and I have to hoof it around here, rather than ride...

But yeah, pretty much.

Hey! It beats the Hell out of retail work! :lamo
