Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Tales from a very small town. This weekend at our little but popular general store, where everyone knows everybody else, 3 latino men come in, burly tatooed all over, wearing chains, speaking spanish, there was one neighbor sitting at the picnic table having a slice,I know he always carries. I had bought my stuff but decided to stay in the store, we made eye contact, the neighbor and I, he took his phone out, and in a matter of 5 minutes 3 other guys walked in, from the town. the lady who owns the store nodded to me when the 3 other locals walked in, I waited outside, it was a silent show of force, the latins left quietly. If she had been alone, I know she has a glock and a rifle under the counter, but if trouble had started she would have been outnumbered. We take care of our own, the guys were in a car with Conn. plates, New Haven and Springfield Ma. are where all of the drugs are coming into Vermont, the men who came to that store stuck out like flies in rice, I could tell she was scared. None of us said a word to each other, it was understood that no trouble would happen on that day.
Thank you Father for taking care of our Fren and the folks at the general store. ❤️🥰
God bless you all. God bless you all. I like how everyone wasted no time in having her back. It sounds like a movie scene. It should be an example to all of us, though I know we’re built like that. We’re showing the normies how it should be done.
I'm glad you guys were there. This is interesting..so the drug cartels are in CT and MA because their target customers are the Ivy league college students. This goes deeper than meets the eye I bet!
God bless you all. Glad it went this way!
I'm standing there watching them and wondering what a 74 year old 4 11 woman could do, I decided the fellow eating his pizza slice could shoot while I threw cans and grab the cans of RAID, gosh the scenarios that run through your head,lol.
This is exactly why I love living in a small town too! We don't look for trouble around here, but we will absolutely nip it in the bud if it tries to rear its ugly head in our small town too. Thanks for sharing the good news and having each other's backs!
…and then bury the evidence and say “I didn’t see nuffin’.”
