It's the Chamber Of Commerce mentality. For some reason, people like
to ignore reality. Just like they'd like you to ignore that hardly a
night goes by when we don't see a news story about some negro robbing
a convenience store, crack house bust, etc. etc.

Now various folks are going to get their panties bunched because I
dare speak the truth. Of course, these same folks wouldn't go walking
alone at night in the Parramore area, but I'm evil because I point
this out.

Yes, my previous nick was derekjanssengayslaveforhire but I got tired
of typing it all in. Don't know who you think I am, but be assured I'm
having a hearty chuckle at your cluelessness.

Downtown Orlando is a dump. And for you tourist don't confuse downtown
Orlando with Disney World, Sea World, or Universal Studios. That area
is very safe. Downtown Orlando is for losers.

Tourists are apt to wonder abouts or get off I-4 on the way down...JG

Under what circumstances would the "large assault rifles" be used? Seems like either a show of force
with no intent to use, or a serious incident waiting to happen.
