[The Question]

I work Dispatch and walk weekend patrol. You've seen the badge, probably, here in the SB and in my posts in the pic thread. The Desert Rangers operate across Navajo County. The funny thing is, it started as a joke; based on a video game franchise. But what we do is serious. We're not law enforcement, despite the badges -- those are just so people know who we are and what we're doing. We're more like a volunteer civic service organization. We help people out in the community who don't have phones or other social support systems.

Interesting. Are you protected by good samaritan laws if somwwerw to go awry?

 

[The Question]

This past week, for example, an older lady had to move from one place to another; she couldn't afford movers. I organized a few Rangers and we went over and got her stuff moved to her new place for her.

 

[The Question]

Yes, we are. We're all CPR-certified, NRA safety course qualified, and insured, as well.

 

[The Question]

We work with the NCSO as well. Basically, we do all the things the Hashknife Posse used to do.

 

[Lily]

That's a great thing.

 

[Lily]

Especially in isolated locales.

 

[The Question]

Yeah, it's kind of needed here on the Rim. We also don't *usually* go strapped, except when there's a Fugie notice out, then we more or less have to. But that's why we screen applicants for felonies.

 

[Lily]

Only for felonies?

 

[Lily]

Why woukd you want anyone that has committed any crimes?

 

[The Question]

Well, we don't want anybody carrying a piece who oughtn't have one.

 

[Lily]

I wouldn't think anyone that has a record at all should be out in this capacity.

 

[The Question]

We're not strictly a law enforcement body. And the population here in Holbrook isn't exactly booming. Somebody who shoplifted a lolly when he was 10 isn't exactly a danger to the community now.

 

[The Question]

On the other hand, a guy who kicked in his ex-girlfriend's door with a street sweeper in hand isn't who we want, either. So we're picky -- but not overly so.

 

[Seamajor]

Is we, they?

 

[Lily]

Yeah, there are misdemeanors and there are misdemeanors

[MANCID RILKO]

Who remembers Miss UpSideDown?

 

[Lily]

I was always partial to Ms. BackkAsswards myself

Alticus, these are just examples of how you have never really entered adulthood. And I think you are an old fucker too. I think I read that you are 49 or 50....is that right? At your age, why is it that you have never married? Or not settled down and bought a home?

Why not start the new year off right with a donation to our beloved community?

[Lily]

[Jack]

[Jack]

[Jack]

[The Question]
